Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here？You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.

It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.

Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.

There’s an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It’s what this place offers, and it’s free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.

It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.

There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There’s no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs(低语声) of nature.

For now you just count your blessings(福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe. You don’t have to worry about being late for work. You don’t have to do anything.

The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon(地平线), slowly narrowing to nothingness(不存在的状态) only to re-emerge(再度出现) again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it’s unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry.

Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.

“How could it take me so long to find it？” you wonder.

Ⅲ．七选五(建议用时：8分钟)

The British have many traditions but there is one thing that I have to mention—taking afternoon tea. As we all know, the British people have a preference for drinking tea, with more than 160 million cups drunk every day, but it was the invention of afternoon tea that turned drinking tea into a popular pastime.

Now it is popular in the U．K. and it’s available to anyone who can afford it. Although it can be enjoyed at home, the best way to experience it is at a small hotel or cafe. Some of the most famous places to drink tea are Claridges, The Savoy or at The Ritz in London. __1__ Make sure you order the correct thing. What you should order is afternoon tea not high tea, or cream tea.__2__ __3__ It’s an important occasion. Certain places demand a man wear a jacket and tie and that ladies should wear a hat.

Mind the position of your napkin. __4__ It will keep your clothes clean and can be used to wipe small crumbs(食物碎屑) from your face.

Stir(搅拌) your tea correctly. Do not clink(使发出叮当声) your spoon against the cup and do not leave it in the cup！__5__
