I was said to be the worst student in my class and my family thought I was hopeless. I had to repeat the sixth grade. At that time a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.

One day after class? she noticed that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a normal conversation.

I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that someone believed me, and my grades started to improve in her subject.

Months later, she moved into a house near my home. We would walk home together after school. Her constant support helped me, especially in my studies, as I knew she would check my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally came second in my class.

Japanese businessman Katsuo Inoue chose Italy for his summer vacation this year. He enjoyed the views of Florence and Rome—without ever leaving Japan.

Inoue and his wife "flew” to Italy on First Airlines? a company known for entertainment, not transportation. The Tokyo-based new company entered the fast growing online tourism early this year as many countries have stopped accepting foreign tourists.

“I often go to other countries on business? but I haven't been to Italy," Inoue said. "My impression was really good because I got a sense of actually seeing things there. First Airlines even gave us life jackets and oxygen masks(氧气罩)！”

The “passengers" on First Airlines sit in the first-or business-class areas of an airplane model. Workers serve meals and drinks as large screens show passing clouds and other views outside the airplane. The “travelers" then receive glasses that provide virtual reality tours of places like Paris? New York, Hawaii and Rome.

The country's biggest airline, ANA Holdings, said that the numbers of passengers flying to foreign countries fell by 96 percent since June when Japan stopped most travel in and out of the country. The International Air Transport Association (lAIA ) and The International Tourism Association(ITA) said last month that international travels wouldn't be able to recover until 2024. But they said the online travels have been growing very fast.

The president, Hiroaki Abe, said, ”Since we started our online tour this year, our business has been increasing by 50 percent each month. Most of our customers usually travel to other countries every year and they can now experience some of that here when they are unable to go to the real attractions."

28. What can we learn about First Airlines?

A. It provides transportation to tourists.

B. It is an Italy-based company.

C. It has been in business for many years.

D. It is a new online tourism company.

29. What does Katsuo Inoue think of his tour?

A. It is very cool. B. It is boring.

C. It is dangerous. D. It is frightening.

30. Why has online tourism been growing very fast this year?

A. Customers can have more choices.

B. It is able to provide much better services.

C. It is much cheaper than the traditional travels.

D. People cannot actually travel around this year.

31. What does the underlined word "we” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. IATA. B. ITA. C. First Airlines. D. ANA Holdings.

What you do after studying could have a big effect（影响）on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips? we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning ： wakeful rest and sleep.

When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.

The basic idea is this： by stopping your activity after the study? your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.

While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits（好处）of resting after learning—what is called “wakeful rest”.

A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest.

If you want to give “wakeful rest" a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone? read stories or play games. It is really that easy!

Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School （HMS） notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school's website explains that “a sleep—deprived（录!J夺）person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well”. It also says, "Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.”

The National Sleep Foundation （NSF） suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.

Try to get some “wakeful rest" after a study. Then try to get a good night's sleep. That's it—a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.

32. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. The importance of sleep. B. The good ways to get a rest.

C. The types of resting activities. D. The reason for having a rest.

33. Which activity might be recommended shortly after studying?

A. Reading a newspaper. B. Sitting there doing nothing.

C. Playing a video game. D. Having a nice sleep at night.

34. How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF?

A. Less than 7 hours. B. Just 7 hours.

C. No more than 8 hours. D. Around 9 hours.

35. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Good Things to Do After Your Study B. Low-cost Tips on Working

C. Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep? D. How Long Should We Rest After Learning?

Tree hugging （拥抱）may sound a little bit strange. But Israel has been encouraging people to do it 41     .

“In these 42        COVID-19 periods, people have to stay away from each other," said Orit Steinfeld, manager of Israel's Apollonia National Park, “We 43     that people around the world go out to nature, take a deep breath, hug a tree, express your love and get love.”

The park is about 15 kilometers north of Tel Aviv. Inside the park, some visitors 44    followed his advice. Barbara Grant was one of them.

“We need physical touch to stay 45     Without it, many become lonely? sad and even sick,“ she said, “We are not hugging too many 46     these days. Hugging a tree is quite a 47        thing to do.”

Israel is not the 48      country to ask people to hug trees. Iceland's Forest Service started a similar 49      in April. They advised everyone in the country to 50        a tree for at least five minutes every day. The Forest Service even shared a short video showing people in Iceland hugging trees in the 51      . Park workers also 52     paths in the woods so that visitors could stay away from each other while 53         their trees.

“There are a lot of trees,“ said a forest worker in the video, ”no need for everyone to hug the 54       tree.”

So, if you cannot get a human hug these days, you know something you can safely put your 55       around： A tree!

Mary, Tom and Buddy

Mary was a 17-year-old girl with long brown hair and pretty eyes. Every evening she would take her dog, Buddy? out for a walk before dinner. She had named her dog Buddy because it was very friendly to everybody it met. But Buddy never barked ( 叫)at anyone or any dogs when they were out for their walks.

One night, something strange happened. For the first time in its life, Buddy barked when they were taking a walk beside a forest.

“What's the matter, Buddy?” Mary asked.

Buddy replied in more barks.

All of a sudden, the wind grew stronger and the sky became cloudier. Mary decided to turn around and head back home. But before she could, a voice called out her name. Mary wanted to run but Buddy refused.

“Who's there?” Mary asked, trying to be calm.

A boy came out from the forest.

“Tom, is that you?” Mary asked the shy boy.

Tom looked down at the ground with his hands in his pockets.

“What are you doing, Tom? Have you been following me?” Mary asked.

“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you,“ Tom said.

Mary could tell that he was nervous. She suddenly knew of the feelings Tom had for her.
