A
If you truly want to live, you need to get out and see the world. Traveling and living different adventures may
become your favorite lifestyle. Here is a brief introduction about the top three destinations to visit in the world.
Paris
First on the list is Paris, France. For some people, this shouldn’t be a surprise. For others, they might consider Paris
overrated as it has a reputation for being dirty. Any major city in the world might be thought to be dirty by anyone
not living in a city. It comes with the territory. The reason Paris is at the top of this list is not because of its famous
attractions but because of its charm. You can spend the day walking around cobblestone streets and enjoy elegant
cafes and high-end shopping. When you finish satisfying your appetite, you can relax on the banks of the Seine
River.
Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park comes in second on the list. It is located in Montana, America. It will be well worth the effort
thanks to snow-capped mountains, crystal blue lakes, seventy miles of hiking trails, and thirteen camping areas. If
you visit during the summer, you can go swimming or white-water rafting. If you visit during the winter, you can go
skiing or snowshoeing. But the real allure (诱惑力) and what you will always remember is the breathtaking
scenery and fresh mountain air.
Bora Bora
The reason Bora Bora is the third on this list is that it’s expensive, which could limit your other travel plans. If you
do make it to this small island paradise, you will find peaceful beaches, jungles, luxury accommodations, turquoise
water, and some of the friendliest people you have ever met.
Other vacation destinations that should be on your list if you’re living the adventurous lifestyle include London,
the South Island of New Zealand, Maui, Tahiti, Tokyo, Barcelona and New York City.
1. Tourists can ______ to appreciate the charm of Paris.
A. enjoy crystal blue lakes
B. visit its famous attractions
C. take a walk around cobblestone streets D. meet the friendliest people you have ever met
2. Which of the following points in Glacier National Park will really attract tourists?
A. peaceful beaches.
B. White-water rafting.
C. Snow-capped mountains.
D. Fresh mountain air.
3. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. to introduce the top three destinations.
B. to compare the top three destinations.
C. to encourage people to live an adventurous lifestyle.
D. to analyze the good and bad points of the three destinations
B
A trip to thelibrary was like a great journey to a different country. To get there, we had to walk a mile. But our
weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection. I had around me at one time all the people I loved best-
my father and mother and brothers and sister- -and all the things I loved best- quiet, space and books.
I read a lot of books about science: not the spaceships my brothers preferred, but the birds and the bees-
-literally. I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins (知更鸟). I went
through a phrase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar
by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone (石灰石).
One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Lousia May
Alcott. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could
be dull once you got it home. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs.
I read and read and read Little Women until it was time to walk home, and, except for a few essential
interruptions like sleeping and eating, I did not put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend
television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott' s story. It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could
almost be like me, especially Jo. I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did.
4. What can we say about the author’s family?
A. They enjoyed traveling abroad. B. They were library frequenters.
C. They were very fond of walking. D. They led a perfectly quiet life.
5. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2? A. Her different hobbies from her brothers.
B. How she conducted science experiments.
C. Why she loved books about the birds and the bees.
D. Her reading interests during a particular period of time.
6. What opinion does the author hold on books?

In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer.
But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have
left a lasting influence on theater.
While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly
spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and
sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream
under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a

Thank you. It’s my great honor to be given this award.
You cannot imagine that I have always been a late starter. Years ago, when I was 16, I took an important exam
— GCE(General Certificate of Education), which turned out to be a failure. My dad was reading my report card and
saw that my position in class was 29th, but the number in class was 29. It meant that I had achieved the
distinction of being bottom of my class.
I wasn’t lazy, and I was really trying. You can picture how I felt. Dad put his hand on my shoulder and said,
“You can only do the best you can, but whatever you decide to do, make sure you love it.” He was a really sweet
guy and a great man. I knew his attempt to hide his disappointment with some of his encouraging words. I was

Older adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other
cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds.
Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities,
finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or
eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health
issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group.
The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they
get older.
As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or becomedisrupted— leading to longer, shorter,

When the sun shines brightly, it provides a great chance to get outdoor things done. Like making hay! At least,
that is what farmers from the past would say. ―Make hay while the sun shines.This idiom is very old, dating back
to Medieval times. Rain would often ruin the process of making hay. So, farmers had no choice but to make hay
when the sun was shining.
Today, we all use this expression, not just farmers. When conditions are perfect to get something done, we
can say, ―It’s a good idea to make hay while the sun shines.In other words, you are taking advantage of a good
situation or of good conditions. You are making the most of your opportunities. These all mean ―making hay
while the sun shines.

Each year, theLas Vegasconsumer electronics show, or CES, presents the latest developments in many areas of
technology. The newest products are designed to make our lives easier, fun and more productive.
A car with legs
One of this year’s presentations was by South Korean carmaker Hyun-dai. The company introduced a small model
of a “ walking car,” which is called Elevate. It has four movable legs that can raise the main part of the vehicle high
off the ground. The electric-powered vehicle is designed to be used in search-and-rescue operations during
emergencies or natural disasters.

In the age of social distancing, using robots for some health care interactions is a promising way to reduce
in-person contact between health care workers and sick patients. However, a key question is how patients will
react to a robot entering the room. Researchers from MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital recently set out to
answer that question.
In a study, the team found that a large majority of patients reported that interacting with a health care
provider through a video screen fixed on a robot was similar to an in-person interaction with a health care worker.
“We’re working on robots that can help provide care to ensure the safety of the patient and the health care
workforce. The results of this study give us some confidence that people are ready and willing to join us. In a
