Island Getaways

Beautiful beaches, rich cultures and untouched pockets of wilderness are just a few attractive characteristics of the best island vacations. Each of the islands listed here has something extra that keeps travelers charmed.

Principe

West of Africa’s mainland, small Principe offers blue seas, yellow beaches, jungle peaks, whale watching with received plantations to visit and locals to meet. Pleasant eco-resorts help, too. Principe is amazingly safe and welcoming to visitors, particularly ecotourists, for whom the advancing jungle is a delight.

Chora, the island’s capital, is built on a hill with a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea. On the top of the hill overlooking the village, sits Querini castle which used to protect the island during the Middle Ages, but now it is the main attraction of Astypalea

Dominica

Commonly known as The Nature Island, Dominica sticks out up from the shiny waters of the Caribbean to serve as a fairy land for travelers seeking thrills in a place that time has forgotten.

Stepping Up to the Plate

When ten-year-old Reese lost her Fresno County, California, home to one of the largest wildfires in state history early last fall, she had a very pressing concern: Did anyone take her baseball cards?

No one did. With a houseful of kids and dogs and a farm’s worth of horses to remove, the family forgot the cards under the stress. Naturally, the diehard San Francisco Giants fan and Little League lefty with a swing as smooth as butter was upset. When she watched the Giants on TV, she would lay out each player’s card on the floor in their corresponding field positions. “I like baseball cards because they are pictures of people doing happy things- doing what they love, and what I love,” said Reese.

Reese’s loss touched the hearts of the Fresno County fire department, which posted her story on its Facebook page with a request to help Reese refill her baseball card collection. That, in turn, touched the heart of Kevin Ashford.

Ashford knew exactly where Reese could find replacement cards: in his garage. He had more than 25,000 cards in his collection with a total value of $35,000. Ashford had been thinking about selling them when he saw the fire department’s post. “I wasn’t really doing anything with them,” said Ashford. “I thought I could take care of this problem rather quickly.”

Firefighters transported the cards from Ashford’s garage to theirs and then surprised Reese during a tour of the firehouse. Towers of Ashford’s cards were piled in front of the fire engine. After thanking Ashford, Reese, ever the team player, was quick to share the thousands of baseball cards she received from Ashford and donors around the country with other kids affected by California’s Fire. She’s gotten so many, in fact, that she set up Gifts from Reese, an organization that collects cards and donates them to those in need.

24. What made Reese upset?

A. Move to Fresno County.

B. Concern about wildfires.

C. Loss of baseball cards.

D. Separation from the family.

25. What did the Fresno County fire department do to help Reese?

A. It emailed her story to Ashford.

B. It made a request online for cards.

C. It bought her various collections.

D. It offered her family a firehouse tour.

26. Which of the following best describes Ashford?

A. Humorous.  B. Indifferent.  C. Ambitious.  D. Generous.

27. Why did Reese start Gifts from Reese?

A. To contribute collected cards.

B. To win fans’ support for the Giants.

C. To express gratitude to Ashford.

D. To raise awareness of fire prevention.

C

A decade ago, many Japanese were so embarrassed to be seen eating alone in the school or office cafeteria that they’d choose to cat in a single bathroom. Appearing friendless was a no-no, leading to a phenomenon- taking a “toilet lunch”.

“Japan is changing in a big way,” says Miki Tateishi who serves drinks at Bar Hitori (hitori means “one person”) in Tokyo designed for certain drinkers. The bar, which opened in mid-2018, represents an unusual opportunity to go out and drink by oneself in conformity(遵从)-driven Japan. And it’s doing well: Instead of hiding in toilets, people are stepping out and accepting their being seen alone.

Yet Bar Hitori is by no means the only example of how businesses are changing to accommodate people who want to do things by themselves. From dining to nightlife to travel, new options catering specifically to individuals have appeared in recent years. It’s known as the ohitorisama movement: People bravely choose to do things alone regardless of others’ opinions, But in a country where being part of the group has always been highly prized, it is a big deal. However, negative social pressures around being alone have reduced. “These social pressures you have to get married, or you have to have a child- are decreasing” says Matsushita, a senior consultant at Japan’s largest economic research firm.

And it’s not the decrease in population but the appearance of more flexible attitudes about how lives can be lived that has helped ohitorisama to boom. “It’s only 10 years ago they said ‘lunch in a toilet’,” says Matsushita. “But, after 10 years, we have so many services for people alone. People tend to think positively about being alone.”

28. What do customers most probably do at Bar Hitori?

A. Chat with their friends.

B. Take a "toilet lunch".

C. Volunteer to serve drinks.

D. Have drinks alone.

29. What can be inferred in Japan according to Matsushita?

A.“Lunch in a toilet" isn’t accepted.

B. Being alone is supported at present.

C. Young people approve of early marriage.

D. Services for people alone should be improved.

30. Why has ohitorisama developed?

A. Tolerant attitudes appear.

B. The economy grows.

C. The population reduces.

D. Social pressures increase.

31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Rise of Japan’s "toilet lunch".

B. The dilemma of young Japanese.

C. Japan’s culture of being alone.

D. A booming new business in Japan.

D

Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center mapped brain changes after a year of aerobic (有氧的) workouts and uncovered a potentially significant process: Exercise increases blood flow into two key areas of the brain associated with memory,

The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, showed this blood flow can help even older people with memory issues improve cognition (认知), a finding that could guide future Alzheimer’s disease research, according to UT Southwestern Medical Center.

In the study, researchers followed 30 participants who were 60 or older and had memory problems. Half experienced a year of aerobic exercise while the other half did stretches (伸展运动). “We’ve shown that even when your memory starts to fade, you can still do something about it by adding aerobic exercise to your lifestyle,” said Binu Thomas, a senior research scientist of UT Southwestern Medical Center who led the study. “The aerobic exercise group showed a 47% improvement in some memory scores after a year; the other group showed slight change. Brain imaging of the aerobic exercise group, taken while at rest at the beginning and end of the study, showed increased blood flew into the specific brain areas that played important roles in memory function.”

Many teams across the world are trying to determine if aerobic exercise might fight memory loss. Evidence is growing that it could at least play a small role in delaying or reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. For example, a 2018 study showed that people with lower fitness levels experienced faster retrogression of vital nerve fibers in the brain called white matter related to memory.

“Blood flow in the brain connected with memory improvement is still a part of the puzzle, and we need to continue piecing it together,” Thomas says. “But we’ve seen enough date to know that starting a fitness program can have lifelong benefits for our brains as well as our hearts.”

32. What is the study mainly about?

A. Old people have memory issues.

B. Exercise improves memory.

C. Aerobic workouts benefit mental health.

D. Alzheimer’s disease can be cured.

33. What happened to participants after one-year aerobic exercise?

A. Earlier memories were refreshed.

B. Memory scores showed very small change.

C. Brain imaging remained the same.

D. More blood flew into memory-related areas.

34. What does the underlined word “retrogression” mean in the fourth paragraph?

A. Growth.  B. Recovery.  C. Decline.  D. Extension.

35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Further research work requires doing.

B. More people experience memory loss.

C. Mystery of brain blood flow has been solved.

D. Signs of memory loss can be discovered earlier.

Ways to Increase Your Business

Anytime an organization introduces a new product into the market, there is a standard rate of adoption that occurs among customers.    36    There are several ways to do this:

Communication

One of the challenges that organizations face with new products is that customers don’t know about them or understand what benefits they might bring.    37    Whether it’s built around word of mouth or digital marketing, the goal is to make customers aware of the product so that you can increase the possibilities that they will be willing to try it.

   38  

TV advertising films often feature some product that’s put to some unusual test, like knives that cut tissue paper and tomatoes equally well. The point of these commercials is to show the advantages of the products. There is real value in helping your customers see the direct benefits of using your new product. For instance, we have a customer whose businesses help fundraisers raise more money. To help increase the adoption rate, he offers the fundraisers the opportunity to upload their donor base for free so that they can analyse the list and determine how much more money they could raise with his system. That, then, creates an observable win and a strong promise to get someone to adopt the product over the long run.

A free trial

Giving customers a 30-day free trial is a very powerful way to get them using your product quickly.    39    Remember that trials lead to sales, which lead to repeat sales and increased profits.

So when you’re ready to introduce a new product into the market, use these ways to increase the rate at which your new and existing customers purchase it.    40  

A. Observable benefit

B. Commercial advertising

C. That’s when the real wins happen and where the money is.

D. Rapid adoption can be promoted with the right techniques.

E. It is likely that they will continue using the product after they try it out.

F. The question organizations face is how they can accelerate the adoption rate.

G. That’s why coupling a new product with a marketing and awareness campaign is so important.

Listen to this!” Taking a deep breath, he raised his drumsticks and began rocking and rolling, just like Grandpa had taught him Jumping up, he raced outside to his grandfather and asked, “Grandpa, what do you think? Are you ready to drum together?” Grandpa, giving Roger a hug. said. “I was wonderful. but I’m afraid I can’t play right now.” Dad smiled at Roger, telling him some of Grandpa’s finger joints were hurting him and that maybe he would want to play after a short rest. Roger didn’t ask again.

After lunch, Roger went to his room to get his skateboard, finding someone had already stepped into the room. It was Grandpa who stood near the drum set. He picked up a drumstick and began to play. Thump! Thump! But just with two thumps, the drumstick fell onto the floor. Grandpa reached for it, trying to pick it up, but the drumstick fell out of his hand. He tried again and the same thing happened. Grandpa moved his red and swollen fingers, looking upset. Seeing this, Roger shut the door noiselessly. He walked to the sitting room where Dad was reading and asked Dad to drive him to his friend’s house.“David has a drum with the pedal (踏板) and I’d like to borrow it, Roger told Dad about his plan.

Possible Version 1

Concentrating on each class and being punctual for school are two key rules in our class, which our class made when we entered high school. The first one leads me to acquire abundant knowledge to equip myself for Gaokao while the latter teaches me the importance of cherishing time.

As my class teacher says, what we are like decides what we will be like. Without her guidance, my classmates and I wouldn’t be so satisfied with our present school life and confident in our future. What a great teacher I should appreciate forever!

Possible Version 2

Two and a half years ago, our class set a bunch of rules to create a positive learning environment and provide boundaries for ourselves to operate within. Two of them stand out and impress me a lot, which are “Use polite speech and body language” and “No cheating”.

Over these years, I have always behaved in a way of being respectful to the teachers and fellow students and I have never cheated. I am proud that I have obeyed all these rules and become a better person. I am extremely grateful to our class teacher and I will remember her forever.
