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.

Bryher

The handsomest of the Isles of Scilly, 25 miles from Land's End, Bryher accompanies rose gardens with a windy wild coastal path. You can follow the coastal path visiting the charming beaches including Rushy Bay which is a must with fine white sand and clear water.

Chora Chora, the island's capital, built on a hill with a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sen. 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 lime has forgotten.

A teenager has realized her dream of becoming a model — just three years after a car accident left her with a broken back.

Marita Davies was in a wheelchair for a year and had to learn to walk after she suffered terrible injures. She feared her dream of a modeling career was over but just three years on, she is now in the running to be crowned (加冕) Miss Great Britain. She said, “I was shocked when I learned how serious my injuries were. I thought my dream of becoming a model was over. My leg was seriously injured and my back was broken. The accident had broken my confidence.”

But when she finally came out of the wheelchair and she turned a corner. Marita decided she would still try to follow her dream, and sent her photos off to some modeling agencies. She did a few unpaid jobs while studying at college, and soon, paid commercial modeling jobs started coming in. Marita was a bit doubtful at first, because the accident has left her with huge scars on her leg and back. She was worried people wouldn’t want her to model for them, but it didn’t stop her.

She has done amazingly well to overcome everything, which has been thrown at her in the last three years. Within months of learning to walk again, Marita was signed up for advertising campaigns. She has also appeared in a TV ad. Marita was crowned Miss Nottingham City earlier this year, and is now competing against 59 other girls to be crowned Miss Great Britain.

The annual Global Grad Show in Dubai is never short on ideas. Some are confusing, but others might just change the world. “People are extremely concerned about health and mental health, “Global Grad Show director Tadeu Caravieri said. “People are(also)concerned about how to make the house a place that is civilized for work, for education, for healthcare and food security. ”

As ever, the environment was high up the agenda（议事日程）. Dalilah Mansoor and Kaya Tueni, students at the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation, created “Wastology” an indoor composting machine that doubles as herb and vegetable grower.

“We’re trying to solve overmuch food waste in the UAE(United Arab Emirates), “said Tueni. “We’re hoping that this small project, conducted at a domestic level, could have a bigger impact globally,” added Mansoor.

Mazyar Etehadi, a student at the same institution, similarly looked to home with “A” seed bot, his solar-powered robot designed to sow seeds in the desert. “I just wish that there were more plants, more greenery out there”, he said.

“A” seed bot is about 20 cm long and designed to recharge during the day and work by night. Working autonomously within a set five kilometer radius, its3D-printed legs crawl through sand in search of the right levels of moisture (detected through one of its “eyes”) in which to plant a seed. With built-in collision avoidance, humans are only required to refill the robot.

Caravieri anticipates environmentally conscious innovations will only increase at future Global Grad Shows. “I think the conversations that are happening now will have an even bigger impact on the applications in the future years,” he said.

He also argues the show is the perfect catalyst for change. “Global Grad Show has that power. It sparks something in you”, Caravieri said. “You’ll get first motivated; then hopefully that things can change faster than we thought.”

28．What is the author’s attitude to the annual Global Grad Show?

A．Doubtful.  B．Favorable.   C．Intolerant.   D．Unclear.

29．What’s a popular issue on the Global Grad show?

A．Environment. B．Education.   C．Healthcare.  D．Food security.

30．What can be inferred from Caravieri’s words in the last two paragraphs?

A．He doubts the change of the Grad Show. 

B．He believes the impact of the applications.

C．He is optimistic about the future of Grad Show.

D．He is pessimistic about environmentally conscious innovations.

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

A．“A” seed bot, a solar-powered robot B．“Wastology”, a machine

C．Environmental issues at the show  D．The Global Grad Show

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, 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. “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.

Discover the Benefits of Living Simply

Chinese New Year is right around the comer! This is the time of year when we “sweep

away the dust”. We give our homes a good thorough cleaning.  36 

Another great way to start fresh is to get rid of all the clutter (杂物). Over a year ago, I did just that. In preparation for a move, I got rid of over 60 percent of my furnishings. I found that

caring for fewer things means more time to spend with friends and family.

  37  They’re discovering the joy of spending their time and resources on the things that

matter most. Here are some benefits of living simply.

More free time. The more things you own, the more time you’ll spend cleaning and organizing them.  38  You’ll be surprised at how much time you’ll have to do what you

actually want to do.

More money. As you stop buying things you don’t need, your finances will improve. You can save the extra money and take a special trip or an interesting class instead. Learn to reward

yourself with rich experiences, not things.

  39  Once you break the accumulation habit, your values shift. You come to realize that things don’t bring lasting happiness. True joy comes from making memories with loved ones.

Living simply lowers your stress level, improves your health and allows you to focus on what’s important.  40  Start living with less today, and discover the peace and happiness this

lifestyle can bring.

A．Changed values.

B．Ever lasting happiness.

C．So it’s not easy to earn more free time.

D．Keep only the items you need, use or enjoy.

E．We do this in order to make a clean, fresh start in the new year.

F．These days it seems that many people are trying to live with less.

G．The good news is you don’t have to wait for a holiday to start living simply.
