单选题Nowadays there are more and more ways of going on holiday. More and more people go abroad every year. Some people even go on two or three holidays a year. There are two 'types of holidaymakers. The first kind always flocks to seaside resorts when they go on holidays. Their one and only aim is to have a good time by sunbathing and putting their feet up. They are not a bit interested in local specialties. At mealtimes, if they can get a plate of British "fish and chip" they are more than happy. They spend their days in the sunshine and their evening getting drunk, then sleep soundly, If this sort of person forgets to pack the suntan oil, he or she undoubtedly come home as red as a lobster(龙虾). The other type of holidaymakers goes to every country to increase their knowledge of foreign lands. They make use of the chance to travel to improve their world knowledge. For them, going on holidays is educational. Consequently, this sort of travelers will move from place to place every few days. If they visit lots of places in a short span of time, there is no way that they can get a proper feeling of a place or fully appreciate the local food and wine. Whichever type of holiday chosen, everybody has the same aim: to put their work to the back of their minds, have as much fun as possible and come home happy and relaxed.

单选题To get some idea of the amount of heat the sun gives off, think about this. If you could collect all the heat that hits the earth in a two-week period, it would equal the amount of all other known sources and reserves of energy: Wood, coal and oil. But even these sources of energy depend on the sun for their formation. For example, a tree would certainly never grow and provide fuel in the form of wood were it not for the sun. Because the sun is so important in the production of all forms of heating fuel, more and more time and money are being spent studying ways to change power from the sun directly into a form of heat. The process currently in use for collecting energy from the sun--known as solar energy--is quite simple. The sunlight hits a metal plate known as a flat-plate collector and the plate absorbs the heat front the sun. This heat, in turn, heats a liquid inside the plate. A layer of fiber-glass inside the plate helps prevent this heat from escaping. In this way, solar heat can be stored in a liquid solution equalling about 1,000 watts of electricity per square meter. In the 1960s, a solar furnace was installed in the Pyreness Mountains of France to test the use of solar energy. In this furnace, a mirror is used to concentrate the sun's heat. This concentrated heat keeps temperature in the furnace as high as 6,000 °F.
