Sihanoukville, Cambodia is a seaside town located 200km or a fourhour bus ride away from the countrys capital, Phnom Penh. With several beaches and small offshore islands, it is definitely not a place to miss out if you are intending to visit Angkor Wat, as the beaches there are stunning and still unspoiled by mass tourism.Serendipity BeachSerendipity Beach is the most popular beach for the masses, since it is the most accessible beach, being the nearest one from the main town area.There are plenty of bars scattered around the beach, so be prepared for the crazy parties every night.Ochheuteal BeachOchheuteal Beach is located south of Serendipity Beach, and its a bit of an improvement from Serendipity Beach itself in terms of the people that go there. Over here, there are bars and pubs, but at night, dont expect wild parties like at the Serendipity Beach area.Otres BeachAll the way down south, near Moat Peam, lies a hidden gem called Otres Beach. This is where you can get your yoga suit on and practice meditation(冥想). This is the quietest beach in Sihanoukville and it is the least crowded, with very few parties. If your idea of a beach holiday is just yourself and the sun, sea and sand, this place is for you.Koh RongKoh Rong is an island off Sihanoukville that is covered with beautiful sandy beaches. True relaxation lies at Long Beach, which is located on the other side of the island. Clear water surrounds the beach, and once you get there, youll be greeted with fine white sand.Koh Rong doesnt have any roads, so there are no cars or motorbike rentals everything is mostly on foot.1Why is Serendipity Beach the most popular with tourists?A There are a lot of wild parties.B It is the nearest beach from the main town area.C The food and drink are varied.D It has plenty of cheap bars and pubs.2Which place may be the best choice for a quiet sun bath?A Serendipity Beach. B Ochheuteal Beach.C Otres Beach. D Long Beach.3What is special about the beaches in Cambodia?A They are less developed and visited.B They are not easily accessible.C They are within walking distance to its capital.D They offer tasty seafood.One of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.When we see something we dont like, we wish it could be different. We cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps its something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture. The root of the unhappiness isnt necessarily that we want things to be different. However, its that we decided we didnt like it in the first place. Weve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “Its not bad or good, and it just is it. ”In one of my books, I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”. Some readers said its too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong. However, its only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why theyre that way. It will save you a lot of sadness, because youll no longer say, “Oh. I wish bad things didnt happen!”Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But change things not because you cant accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of changing, learning and growing.Can we make this world a better place? You can say that youll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world. Thats the correct path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path. Therefore, when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference, try a different approach：accept, and understand. It might lead to some interesting results.4The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because _.A it is our natural emotion in the lifeB culture asks us to be different from othersC everyone has their own opinions on thingsD we dislike something in the beginning5What does the underlined word it In Paragraph 4 refers to?A Acting well at work and in politics.B Feeling depressed for the news media.C Accepting and understanding what has happened.D Saying something negative when bad things come.6What are you advised according
