小题2:细节题:根据第三段最后一句“so you have to advertise their site for them”所以你不得不为他们宣传他们的网站。故选A。
小题3:细节题:根据第三段中“Grand prize is $25,000. ”奖金是2万5千美元,可知A错误;根据第五段第一句“Avon is another company that has a baby photo contest this spring”雅芳是这个春天另外一家举行婴儿照片比赛的公司,因此B错误;根据第四段第一句“Perents.com has a website only for their members”Perents.com网站只对自己成员开放,而不是成员的孩子,因此C错误;根据第五段中“Babies’ age: newborn to 2 years.

Bali(巴厘岛) is home to most of Indonesia"s Hindu minority. Here"s how to get the most out of a 48­hour visit:
FRIDAY
3pm—There"s nothing like a good meal. La Lucciola is the place to go, with its good food, great service and a beautiful view of the sea.
You can hire a car for some 450,000 rupiah per day. This will help you have more to spare during your trip there.
5pm—About an hour away from La Lucciola is Uluwatu. This southern tip of the island is famous for its temple that lies on the edge, high above the sea. Fire dance is performed here daily at sunset.
8pm—To finish off the evening, head to Jimbaran Bay where restaurants offer candles, dances, boys singing songs. Kick off your shoes, feel the sand, and enjoy the night.
SATURDAY
9:30am—Start the day with another taste of culture by heading for a “barong and keris” dance performance. It"s held in many places. One is the Catur Eka Budi in Denpasar, capital of Bali.
12pm—About 50km from Denpasar is Kintamani, a favorite with tourists for the view of active volcano Mt. Batur. It"s a good idea to reach Kintamani early as it gets cloudy after 3pm. Have lunch at a local restaurant with a view of Mt. Batur. Tourists can climb to Mt. Batur to catch the sunrise.
6:30pm—Spa(温泉疗养)time! Spa Hati is a good place. Book ahead.
SUNDAY
6am—It"s time to go to the sea. Don"t forget the camera.
10:30am—Another half­day trip to two of the most famous temples in Bali. Drive down to the Taman Ayun temple at Mengwi.
