請依下文回答第 28 題至第 31 題：
The beautiful scenery and amazing creatures found below the waves are what draw most divers to the ocean.
Some divers take up photography as a hobby. Diving magazines have been known to buy photographs of rare sea life
from regular divers.
Above the surface, hired boats take tourists on whale watching trips. Whale watching during the right season
allows people to see not only a variety of whale species, but seals and other sea animals as well. Some of the more
eager watchers may even travel hundreds of miles to follow the paths of individual whales. Meanwhile, bird watchers
work hard to discover new bird species. Serious bird watchers bring along their life lists, in which they record every
species of bird that they have seen in the wild. Like whale watchers, “birders” sometimes hop continents on their
mission to add new species to their lists.
Collecting parts of animals is a common hobby. While buying or selling ivory is illegal, it can be made into
profitable items such as chess sets, piano keys, and jewelry. Animal skins and furs and entire stuffed animals are often
found at homes as decorating items. And the hobby of butterfly collecting is one of the oldest in the world. Russian
author Vladimir Nabokov was known for his life-long passion for collecting butterflies. The world’s largest collection
is found in Costa Rica, a nation with more butterfly species than the entire Africa.

Animal lovers’ efforts to protect rare species. Making money by watching and selling animals.
The land and sea animals that people like most. The popular activities among animal lovers.
29 If you were a butterfly expert, which of the following places would you recommend to a butterfly lover?
America. Russia. Costa Rica. Africa.
30 If you are a regular diver, you would probably .
hire boats and take tourists to watch whales take plenty of pictures and sell them to magazines
track down the paths of individual whales check the life list of sea animals every year
31 Why are some “birders” traveling far away from home?
To watch a larger number of birds. To find a greater number of bird species.
To bring along more bird life lists. To hop from continent to continent.

Recent researches have shown that how you breathe can tell you how relaxed or how tense you are. So if y ou want
to keep a tranquil mind and not to feel anxious all the time, you should pay attention to your breathing. For example,
when you are calm, your breathing is deep and steady. Your breath mainly comes from the stomach, not the chest. But

short and quick. It comes mainly from the chest or throat. Sometimes, when upset, you may even catch yourself
holding your breath without knowing it. Or you may exhale more quickly than you inhale. So whenever you want to
calm down, try to breathe to a rhythm. Inhale to the count of three; exhale to the count of four. Then get in the habit of
checking your breathing from time to time to make sure you stay relaxed and at your best.
