Everyone has their own way of dealing with heartbreak. Some turn to friends for support, some turn to TV streaming services and some turn to ice cream and sweets. But what if you could check yourself into a retreat for a long weekend of “therapy (心理治疗)” as well as scenic views, all with the purpose of healing your broken heart?
The Heartbreak Hotel, run by counseling psychologist Alice Haddon, is offering just that. Launched in late 2021, the residential retreats, specifically designed for women, are held at Barsham Barns, a private home located on the coast of UK county Norfolk.
The Heartbreak Hotel was dreamed up by Haddon, who had taken a break after the death of her mother, and found herself rethinking the way that therapy is conducted traditionally. Through her personal experience, Haddon realized that there were few services available for women struggling to overcome different types of heartbreak. She began exploring the possibility of a new concept in therapy that could provide what women really needed.
With her friends on board, Haddon put together the hotel with an all-female team. “This space is really a recovery and self-discovery away from the heartbreak and towards a fresh start.”
“We have a specialist working on helping our guests who need professional support,” Haddon adds. “We also encourage our guests with similar experiences to sit together and talk, which we call a group therapy session.”
Aside from that, those who check in to The Heartbreak Hotel will also benefit from a menu of plant-based, heart-healing nutritious and delicious meals, as well as fireside gatherings and walks along some of Norfolk’s beautiful beaches.
According to Haddon, every guest may hold a different story. But whatever their reason for checking in might be, the team ultimately have the same aim for every heartbroken guest who walks through their doors. “Our mission at The Heartbreak Hotel is for our guests to leave feeling strong and free to act according to their own love values and needs,” says Haddon.
24. What does “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Support offered by friends. B. TV streaming services.
C. Ice cream and sweets. D. A retreat for therapy.
25. How did Haddon come up with the idea of The Heartbreak Hotel?
A. After she had a dream about the hotel.
B. After she experienced her mother’s death.
C. After she saw many women struggling.
D. After she joined in an all-female team.
26. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?
A. The Heartbreak Hotel offers food which can help their guests in healing.
B. Guests of The Heartbreak Hotel like gathering at fireside to have meals.
C. There are many plants in The Heartbreak Hotel which can benefit their guests.
D. Every guest of The Heartbreak Hotel will leave feeling strong and free.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Haddon?
A. Kind and humorous. B. Generous and curious.
C. Caring and understanding. D. Pessimistic and grateful.
C
A company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.
Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.
A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin, the company’s co-founder, explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The processed stuff and the inner part of the shoes are then attached to the shoes’ outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from eco-friendly material.
Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with different colors and designs. They cost either $125 or $145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon, so we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled material to make other products.
For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international transport in the near future.
28. How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?
A. They are buried or burned.
B. They are used to make shoes.
C. They are changed into soft material.
D. They are returned to factories for reuse.
29. Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?
A. The colors and designs.
B. The reasonable price.
C. The company’s advertisement.
D. The influence of Gwyneth Paltrow.
30. What does the underlined word “shipped” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Examined. B. Improved.
C. Delivered. D. Repaired.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advertise a new kind of shoes.
B. To describe the process of making shoes.
C. To stress the importance of environmental protection.
D. To introduce the number of plastic bottles thrown away.
D
Of the many safety measures that Disney Parks had to set up to operate during the Covid-19 pandemic, requiring guests to keep a six-foot distance from the costumed characters must have been one of the hardest.
For kids or kids at heart, running into the waiting arms of Mickey Mouse and other beloved characters had been such a fascinating and essential part of the experience, which makes hanging back terribly tough.
But finally, hugs are back on the horizon at US Disney sites.
As early as April 18, “Disney will start reintroducing traditional character greetings at Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World Resorts, as well as aboard Disney Cruise Line and at Aulani Resort in Hawaii,” according to a new post on the official Disney Parks blog. Getting autographs, shooting photos close up and sharing a laugh face-to-face with characters such as Mulan, Goofy, and Donald Duck will all be back on the table.
“During the past two years, we’ve taken a very gradual, intentional approach to health and safety protocols,” wrote Shawn Slater, senior communications manager for Disney Live Entertainment, in the blog. “Recent trends and guidance have provided opportunities for us to bring back some of our most beloved magic, like character greetings and dining experiences. While not all locations will be available immediately, we anticipate reopening in stages throughout the spring and early summer.”
It’s not just character interactions that will be returning later this spring. At Disneyland in California, guests can look forward to the return of several nighttime spectaculars, including fireworks and Main Street Parade.
However, Disney still isn’t 100% back in some ways. Take face masks, for instance. Disney asks that visitors who are not fully vaccinated (接种疫苗) continue wearing face masks in all indoor locations. You can click here for their latest safety updates.
32. What makes it hard for Disney Parks to operate during the Covid-19 pandemic?
A. They have to require their fascinating characters to be costumed.
B. They have to ban visitors from getting close to beloved characters.
C. They have to ask guests to keep a six-foot distance from each other.
D. They have to make kids or kids at heart wait to meet Micky Mouse.
33. According to official Disney Parks blog, what will be brought back to Disneyland?
A. Taking pictures next to Donald Duck.
B. Having face-to-face conversations with Mulan.
C. Dining on the table with Goofy.
D. Watching performances given by characters.
34 Where can we probably find the text?
A. A magazine. B. A website.
C. A textbook. D. A novel.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Disney takes safety measures for guests to keep a distance from characters.
B. Traditional character greetings will be back at all Disney Parks worldwide.
C. Disney asks visitors who are not fully vaccinated to wear face masks.
D. Character hugs and other interactions will return soon at US Disney sites.

It’s no secret that exercising will improve your health. Working out on a regular basis is good for your body. But did you know that living the fitness lifestyle will improve your brain power and make you a more productive person?
●Exercising helps you handle stress better.
When you work out regularly, your body simply functions better and you are healthier and less likely to suffer painful physical condition. 36 .

This is why endorphins are known as a natural cure for depression. 38 . Endorphins improve your abilities to prioritize tasks. This helps you stay focus on urgent matters on the workplace.
● 39 .
Your memory works better when you are active. The American College of Sports Medicine published a study that proved this. 40 . Then, one part of the group was asked to go running and lift weights while the other part of the group was asked to stay put. When the students were tested on their memories, it turned out that the group who went exercising scored much better than the other one.
A. The benefits don’t stop there.
B. Luckily, this can be prevented.

D. Exercising leads you to have more energy.
E. Exercising makes you ready to address the pressure problem.

As they say, “You are what you 43 .” To be honest, I worry about the 44 that many people have today. So many people are overweight. But why? Because they eat the 45 foods and they don’t do any exercise. When you work in an office all day, I know it is difficult to find 46 to keep fit, but you 47 need to do 20 minutes a day!

I would say we like what our bodies 59 and if you eat more healthy food, over time, you might find yourself wanting to eat them more than anything else. Try it, I think you’ll be 60 !

Everyone has their own way of dealing with heartbreak. Some turn to friends for support, some turn to TV streaming services and some turn to ice cream and sweets. But what if you could check yourself into a retreat for a long weekend of “therapy (心理治疗)” as well as scenic views, all with the purpose of healing your broken heart?
The Heartbreak Hotel, run by counseling psychologist Alice Haddon, is offering just that. Launched in late 2021, the residential retreats, specifically designed for women, are held at Barsham Barns, a private home located on the coast of UK county Norfolk.
The Heartbreak Hotel was dreamed up by Haddon, who had taken a break after the death of her mother, and found herself rethinking the way that therapy is conducted traditionally. Through her personal experience, Haddon realized that there were few services available for women struggling to overcome different types of heartbreak. She began exploring the possibility of a new concept in therapy that could provide what women really needed.
With her friends on board, Haddon put together the hotel with an all-female team. “This space is really a recovery and self-discovery away from the heartbreak and towards a fresh start.”
“We have a specialist working on helping our guests who need professional support,” Haddon adds. “We also encourage our guests with similar experiences to sit together and talk, which we call a group therapy session.”
Aside from that, those who check in to The Heartbreak Hotel will also benefit from a menu of plant-based, heart-healing nutritious and delicious meals, as well as fireside gatherings and walks along some of Norfolk’s beautiful beaches.
According to Haddon, every guest may hold a different story. But whatever their reason for checking in might be, the team ultimately have the same aim for every heartbroken guest who walks through their doors. “Our mission at The Heartbreak Hotel is for our guests to leave feeling strong and free to act according to their own love values and needs,” says Haddon.
24. What does “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?

C. Ice cream and sweets. D. A retreat for therapy.
25. How did Haddon come up with the idea of The Heartbreak Hotel?

B. Guests of The Heartbreak Hotel like gathering at fireside to have meals.
C. There are many plants in The Heartbreak Hotel which can benefit their guests.

A company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.
Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.
A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin, the company’s co-founder, explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The processed stuff and the inner part of the shoes are then attached to the shoes’ outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from eco-friendly material.
Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with different colors and designs. They cost either $125 or $145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon, so we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled material to make other products.
For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international transport in the near future.
28. How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?
A. They are buried or burned.
B. They are used to make shoes.
C. They are changed into soft material.
D. They are returned to factories for reuse.
29. Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?
A. The colors and designs.
B. The reasonable price.
C. The company’s advertisement.
D. The influence of Gwyneth Paltrow.
30. What does the underlined word “shipped” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Examined. B. Improved.
C. Delivered. D. Repaired.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advertise a new kind of shoes.
B. To describe the process of making shoes.
C. To stress the importance of environmental protection.
D. To introduce the number of plastic bottles thrown away.
D
Of the many safety measures that Disney Parks had to set up to operate during the Covid-19 pandemic, requiring guests to keep a six-foot distance from the costumed characters must have been one of the hardest.
For kids or kids at heart, running into the waiting arms of Mickey Mouse and other beloved characters had been such a fascinating and essential part of the experience, which makes hanging back terribly tough.
But finally, hugs are back on the horizon at US Disney sites.
As early as April 18, “Disney will start reintroducing traditional character greetings at Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World Resorts, as well as aboard Disney Cruise Line and at Aulani Resort in Hawaii,” according to a new post on the official Disney Parks blog. Getting autographs, shooting photos close up and sharing a laugh face-to-face with characters such as Mulan, Goofy, and Donald Duck will all be back on the table.
“During the past two years, we’ve taken a very gradual, intentional approach to health and safety protocols,” wrote Shawn Slater, senior communications manager for Disney Live Entertainment, in the blog. “Recent trends and guidance have provided opportunities for us to bring back some of our most beloved magic, like character greetings and dining experiences. While not all locations will be available immediately, we anticipate reopening in stages throughout the spring and early summer.”
It’s not just character interactions that will be returning later this spring. At Disneyland in California, guests can look forward to the return of several nighttime spectaculars, including fireworks and Main Street Parade.
However, Disney still isn’t 100% back in some ways. Take face masks, for instance. Disney asks that visitors who are not fully vaccinated (接种疫苗) continue wearing face masks in all indoor locations. You can click here for their latest safety updates.
32. What makes it hard for Disney Parks to operate during the Covid-19 pandemic?
A. They have to require their fascinating characters to be costumed.
B. They have to ban visitors from getting close to beloved characters.
C. They have to ask guests to keep a six-foot distance from each other.
D. They have to make kids or kids at heart wait to meet Micky Mouse.
33. According to official Disney Parks blog, what will be brought back to Disneyland?
A. Taking pictures next to Donald Duck.
B. Having face-to-face conversations with Mulan.
C. Dining on the table with Goofy.
D. Watching performances given by characters.
34 Where can we probably find the text?
A. A magazine. B. A website.
C. A textbook. D. A novel.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Disney takes safety measures for guests to keep a distance from characters.
B. Traditional character greetings will be back at all Disney Parks worldwide.
C. Disney asks visitors who are not fully vaccinated to wear face masks.
D. Character hugs and other interactions will return soon at US Disney sites.
