How to see London like a pro

We’ve explored London thoroughly and come away with quite a few lessons. Here are our tips.

Visiting Buckingham Palace

Being London’s most iconic landmark, this grand 775-room building is where Queen Elizabeth hostsfeasts and meets heads of state. But if you’re dreaming of taking a visit to it, you’ll need to plan your tripcarefully. The palace is typically only open during the summer months from July 23rd to October 3rd. Visiting hours are from 9:30 a.m. to6:30 p.m. If you’re visiting when the palace isn’t available to tour,you can still see the Changing of the Guard.

Hitting the London Eye

The London Eye is a playful addition to the city skyline. Standing near centuries-old architecture,this enormous Ferris wheel goes round slowly over the left bank of the Thames, serving up views over theLondon Bridge and the Shard to the west, plus a wide perspective of the Palace of Westminster. Buy yourtickets in advance online, choose a clear day and go first thing in the morning to avoid crowds peak.

Drinking afternoon tea

Afternoon tea—a sacred, buttery ritual (仪式)—is reason enough to come to London. The Britishhave taken a simple tea break and turned it into a luxurious ceremony, complete with patterned china, layered plates of finger sandwiches and scones in cream and jam. And we haven’t mentioned the cakes,which are often brought around on a wheeled cart. When making a reservation, remember that afternoontea isn’t a snack but a full meal with sweet and salty elements, and you’ll be stuffed. The smart move is toskip lunch and maybe even dinner.

Christmas 2020 was shaping up to be a heartbreaker for Melanie Lee. A few weeks earlier, her 33-year-old son had lost his battle with a long illness. Then the transmission(变速器) on her 2007 ChevroletTahoe failed to work. She had no means of paying for it to be fixed.

“When it broke down, I broke down,” Lee told CNN. “Now I don’t have my baby, and I don’t havetransportation. How am I supposed to stay active in my grandchildren’s lives?”

Eliot Middleton, 38, who is the owner of a barbecue restaurant and former auto mechanic, in his freetime, repairs and gives away used cars. He’d heard about Lee’s difficult situation from her nephew FrankMcClary, the mayor of Andrews, South Carolina. On Christmas morning, Middleton showed upunannounced at Lee’s home with a gift: a white 1993 Oldsmobile.

“I had no idea what was going on,” said Lee. “He handed me the keys and didn’t ask foranything.”Once again, she’s able to pick up her granddaughters from school and take them to danceclass. “I got my freedom back.”

The idea for the used-car giveaway came to Middleton a year earlier during a food drive he’dorganized. Many of those who’d lined up for a meal walked up to four miles to get there because theydidn’t have cars. “Cars are a lifeline in this part of South Carolina,”Middleton told CBS. “There’s nopublic transportation, no Ubers, no taxis to take people to job interviews, doctor appointments, even foodshopping.” So he posted on Facebook an offer to trade his restaurant’s specialty, barbecued ribs, forbroken-down vehicles. Since then, friends and strangers have dropped off more than 100 cars in variousstates of disrepair. Many sit in Middleton’s yard waiting to be patched up and donated, usually to thosehe’s heard about through word of mouth. It’s a list of names that grows daily.

“People think Eliot is an angel,” Mayor McClary told the Washington Post. “And I do too.”

IQ is often considered as an important driver of success particularly in fields such as science, innovation and technology. In fact many people have endless fascination with the IQ scores of famouspeople. But the truth is that some of the greatest achievements by our species have primarily relied onqualities such as creativity, imagination, curiosity and empathy (同感).

Many of these characteristcs are rooted in what scientists call “cognitive (认知的) flexibility”—askill that enables us to switch between different concepts or to adapt behavior to achieve goals in a novelor changing environment. Cognitive flexibility provides us with the ability to see that what we are doing isnot leading to success and to make the appropriate changes to achieve it.

Cognitive flexibility may have affected how people coped with the pandemic lockdowns(疫情封锁)which produced new challenges around work and schooling. Some of us found it easier than others toadapt our routines to do many activities from home. Such flexible people may also have changed theseroutines from time to time trying to find better and more varied ways of going about their day. Others, however, struggled and ultimately became more rigid in their thinking.

Flexible thinking is key to creativity. It also supports academic and work skills such as problemsolving. For example, visual artists may be of average intelligence but highly creative and have producedmasterpieces. Creativity is also important in science and innovation. We have discovered that successfulbusinessmen who have created multiple companies are more cognitively flexible than managers of a similarage and IQ.

Cognitive flexibility is also associated with high recovery from negative life events as well as higherquality of life in older individuals. It can even be beneficial in emotional and social cognition: studieshave shown that cognitive flexibility has a strong link to the ability to understand the emotions, thoughtsand intentions of others.

Neuroimaging studies have shown that cognitive flexibility is dependent on a network of frontal brainregions. There are a number of ways to objectively assess people’s cognitive flexibility including theWisconsin Card Sorting test and the CANTAB Set Shift Task. And the good news is that it seems that youcan train cognitive flexibility.

32. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. Creativity is the only source of people’s success. 

B. A driver’s achievement is not determined by IQ.

C. The IQ of famous people is mysterious.   

D. IQ may not be the key factor in human’s achievements.

33. Which might NOT be an example of cognitive flexibility during pandemic lockdowns?

A. Organizing online meetings. B. Taking up indoor workout.

C. Joining in group hiking. D. Learning to bake at home.

34. Which belongs to the consequences of cognitive flexibility?

A. Flexible people tend to stick to their routines.

B. People have a better understanding of others’ feelings.

C. Businessmen are more likely to succeed than visual artists.

D. Older individuals are able to avoid misfortunes in life.

35. What would the following paragraph talk about?

A. The ways to develop cognitive flexibility. 

B. The application of cognitive flexibility.

C. The Wisconsin Card Sorting test. 

D. The importance of training cognitive flexibility.

The visiting hours are in the afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30 and in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00. But remember onlytwo people can see you at the same time. Sorry about that, but you can imagine what would happen if we didn’thave these rules. The other rules are about our hours. We start pretty early—you might not be used to that. Wewake you at 6 o’clock, breakfast is at 8 o’clock, and lunch is at noon; there’s tea at 3:30 and supper is at 6 o’clock.You can see the no-smoking sign—we don’t allow smoking in the wards. However, if you do need to smoke, thereare special areas where it is allowed.

You will find the radio switch on the wall near your bed, with your headphones, if you want to listen. It’s our ownhospital radio wishing you a speedy recovery.
