Wondering if you’re overdue? Here are 4 signs. It’s time to rest and recharge yourself with a much-needed getaway, along with our suggestions of where to go.
Working Overtime Is Your Life

If long hours are part of your job and you’re not willing to find different work, book off some vacation days. Vacations give us something to look forward to when the daily hard work is weighing us down.
? REST up at a destination spa (度假式水療).
? RECHARGE your batteries on a skiing vacation.
You’ve an Unhealthy Way of Life

Only time can mend a broken heart, but spending time with your best friends may speed things along. Plan a girlfriends’ getaway or guys’ weekend immediately!
? REST by the fountain at a hot see-and-be-seen LA boutique hotel.
? RECHARGE on a shopping trip or at a non-stop party hotspot.
You’re Nursing a Broken Heart

Though it’s possible to kick bad habits like smoking or over-eating at home a trip abroad may make it a bit easier. On a vacation with healthy lifestyle habits at the centre, you’re forced to focus on self-care in a way which would prove impossible at home.
It’s not enough to take care of your health on the rare occasion you can go on vacation: use vacations to kick-start a healthier lifestyle which is sustainable on a daily basis when you get back home. 
? REST a troubled mind at a yoga retreat.
? RECHARGE energy levels by the sea.
You’ve Got No Skills Left To Improve

Challenging ourselves to carry out new tasks keeps our bodies and minds active. If you’re an expert at everything and a newbie (新手) at nothing, it’s time to move outside your comfort zone. Travel is renowned for providing that opportunity for growth.
? REST your body while challenging your brain, by learning a language abroad.
? RECHARGE yourself with a healing art like massage-therapy or a cooking course.

Susan Sontag (1933 — 2004)was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature.For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything — to read every book worth reading ,to see every movie worth seeing .When she was still in her early 30s,publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life ,trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art .With great effort and serious judgment . Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong watchwords(格言),but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious,she argued for a true openness to the pleasures of pop culture.In “Notes on Camp”,the 1964 essay that first made her name ,she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous .“Notes on Camp”,she wrote,represents“a victory of ‘form’over‘content’,‘beauty’over‘morals’”.
By conviction（信念）she was a sensualist（感覺論者）, but by nature she was a moralist （倫理學(xué)者）,and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s , it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor —published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities（被壓抑的性格）, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact , re-examining old positions was her lifelong lifelong habit.
  In America,her story of a 19thcentury Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000.But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.“Sometimes,”she once said ,“I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending …is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.”And in the end ,she made us take it seriously too.
71.The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means Sontag_________.
A.was a symbol of American cultural life           B.developed world literature,film and art
C.published many essays about world culture
D.kept pace with the newest development of world culture
72.She first won her name through ___________.
A. her story of a Polish actress                          B. her book Illness as Metaphor
C. publishing essays in magazines like partisan Review
D. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings
73.According to the passage,Susan Sontag__________.
A. was a sensualist as well as a moralist                            B. looked down upon the pop culture
C. thought content was more important than form      
D. blamed the victim of cancer for being repressed
74.As for Susan Sontag’s lifelong habit , she __________.
A. misunderstood the idea of seriousness                   B. re-examined old positions
C. argued for an openess to pop culture                     D. preferred morals to beauty
75.Susan Sontag’s lasting fame was made upon___________-.
A. a tireless, all-purpose cultural view        B. her lifelong watchword ：seriousness
C. publishing books on morals             D. enjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeing

If you want to attend the hottest events of 2014, don’t waste your time looking through dozens of hotel options（選擇）or vacation packages. Instead, look to cruise ships（坐航游）that can ferry you to and from the most expected holiday, sporting, and cultural events of the year.
Here’s a look at the some of the most popular:
Australian Open in Melbourne (January 13–26, 2014)
Tennis fans worldwide are eager for the tickets to matches at any one of the four annual Grand Slam events: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open. In January 2014, luxury cruise line Silversea will offer fans a three-night pre-cruise package to the 109th Australian Open in Melbourne. Silversea passengers will attend third round singles matches at Rod Laver Arena on January 17 and 18 before taking the 382-passenger Silver Shadow for a special 15-night Melbourne to Bali voyage.
Carnival in Rio de Janeiro (February 28–March 4, 2014)
Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival is one of the most popular celebrations of its kind in the world, drawing two million visitors each and every day of the festivities that include parades, street fairs, and costume balls. Holland America’s Maasdam will spend three days in Rio during Carnival as part of its 26-day Amazon & Carnival Explorer journey.
2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil (June 12–July 13, 2014)
If you’re a soccer fan that came up empty in the search for a hotel room for the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals in Rio de Janeiro, there’s still hope. Book MSC Cruises’ 18-night Miami to Rio voyage aboard Divina. The ship departs Miami on May 24 and arrives in Rio just in time for the World Cup.
New Year’s Eve in Hong Kong (December 31, 2014)
Hong Kong is a magical destination（目的地）and New Year’s Eve festivities and fireworks pull out all the stops to make a holiday trip to that city even more attractive. Crystal Cruises’ all-inclusive luxury ship, Symphony, will spend two nights in Hong Kong-- and celebrate New Year’s Eve Chinese-style—during its 15-night holiday voyage that leaves Bangkok on December 21.
