4 of the Best Cycling Holiday Destinations in Europe

European cycling holidays provide some of the best experiences you can have on two wheels. Come and join us!

Girona, Spain

Girona is surrounded by wonderful and easily accessible cycle routes that pretty much offer any riding you would ever need or want. The traffic-free roads mean that there is little trouble in getting out of the town and into the hills. Girona`s old town itself is a beauty and with plenty of places serving great food and great coffee, there`s a certain magic to the place.

Algarve, Portugal

Portugal is a cycling destination that has grown very popular thanks to the large variety of roads in the country. Not only are there plenty of climbs but also a lot of rolling roads to test yourself on. The terrain is similar to what you`ll find in the most popular cycling regions, but Portugal just feels little bit less mainstream. Away from the bike, there is also plenty of tasty food and local wines to try.

Northern Scotland, UK

One of the best places to tour in all of Europe is in fact Scotland. Particularly adventurous cyclists can take advantage of Scotland`s rules on wild camping— Scottish law allows members of the public the right to roam, while English law does not. It`s a totally free way to explore a place and Scotland might just be one of the best ones to do it because of the beautiful scenery.

Julian Alps, Slovenia

Slovenia is quite new when it comes to comparing with other European cycling destinations. A great destination for mountain bikers and road cyclists as well, the country has plenty of off-road routes and roads that take you high up into the Julian Alps. It`s no surprise once you`ve come here you`ll find that the country does very well in producing world class bike racers.

21. What do Girona, Spain and Algarve, Portugal have in common?

A. They are fit for travelling with families.           B. They are suitable for cycling and climbing.

C. They both have wonderful off-road routes.         D. They both serve delicious food to tourists.

22. Which cycling holiday destination is your best choice if you love adventure?

A. Girona, Spain.                 B. Algarve, Portugal.

C. Northern Scotland, UK.         D. Julian Alps, Slovenia.

23. What is special about Julian Alps, Slovenia?

A. It`s completely traffic-free.         B. It has many world class cyclists.

C. It has a very long history.           D. It has plenty of rural landscapes.

B

Rinzin Phunjok Lama was 16 when he first saw a Himalayan snow leopard（雪豹）wandering in the mountains near his home in northeastern Nepal—an experience that changed his life. In the folklore（传说）of Lama`s community, snow leopards reveal themselves only when humans disturb the natural order. At that moment Lama says he recognized that his homeland was in danger.

Lama, now 30, has since devoted his life to wildlife conservation. Unlike thousands of young Nepalese who leave rural areas in search of work, Lama returned to his home in Humla after graduating from college with a forestry degree. Even in this remote corner of Nepal, the effects of climate change are clear, with ancient water sources drying up and once snow-capped mountains left bare.

Lama leads a team of trained conservationists who work to engage the community. They document and track threatened and endangered wildlife, facilitate workshops where local people share their knowledge of the landscape and run clubs for children to learn about conservation from an early age.

What makes Lamas project unique is that it`s driven entirely by the people it serves. Outsiders have previously brought sustainability efforts to the region and failed to make a lasting impact because they often did not understand the local culture, Lama says. “Gaining community trust should be the first step,” he says.

One challenge to that has been high levels of food insecurity and poverty（贫困）in the area, which makes it harder to convince people that conservation should be a priority. To show that it`s possible to obtain benefits from the land without harming it, Lama`s team has launched programs teaching beekeeping or helping locals to sell handmade artworks. “The people leading this project are from here,” he says. “There can be no prouder moment than this for us.”

24. What does the appearance of snow leopards show traditionally?

A. Their increasing number.                    B. People acting against nature.

C. Their natural enemies becoming more.         D. People`s lives being disturbed by wildlife.

25. Why do Lama`s team members start the clubs?

A. To find jobs for young Nepalese.                   B. To know more about the local landscape.

C. To equip kids with conservation knowledge.          D. To track threatened and endangered wildlife.

26. What distinguishes Lama`s project from others?

A. Its initial intention.                 B. Its funding sources.

C. The commitment of its team.         D. The support from the community.

27. How does Lama`s team respond to the challenge?

A. By selling their handmade artworks.

B. By bringing back beekeeping traditions.

C. By choosing project leaders from among the locals.

D. By providing locals with various money-making methods.

C

Studies have been done on the connection between humor and genes. The most common ones involved researchers observing the same twins and looking at how genes affect their sense of humor. There was a study with 390 adult twins who were asked to rate 48 cartoons of different humor varieties based on how funny they found them. The conclusion was that environmental influences played a more important role in what the twins found funny than genetics.

However, there is more to be said about this topic. A recent study proved a clear connection between genetics and emotions like laughter. This study tested 336 adults by showing them funny clips from movies and humorous comics. Researchers then examined the gene and positive emotional expressions, which they referred to as laughing and smiling. And even though the research has collected evidence on how there can be a connection between laughing and smiling behaviors and genes, we still need more similar studies before considering the results as a fact.

While genetics play an important role in the formation of many character traits, our sense of humor is too complex to be attributed to one factor. Moreover, your sense of humor can change throughout your whole life, which is why simplifying humor and basing it only on genetics isn`t reliable.

When we`re young, we learn to talk and do regular activities by observing people and things around us. While growing up, you are exposed to jokes that people around you make and find funny. You will pick up behavioral signs and develop your sense of humor based on all of that. It`s not a surprise that your sense of humor is based on the sense of humor of the people you grew up with, rather than on the genes of your ancestors.

Our sense of humor is a subjective field that depends on social factors, such as the influence of your family and friends, social circle, upbringing in a particular country and culture, etc. For that reason, it doesn`t mean that you will be humorous just because your parents or grandparents are funny.

28. What was found in the study about twins?

A. Humor wasn`t related to genes.

B. Environment mattered more than genes in humor.

C. The twins` humor was mainly affected by genes.

D. The twins rated similarly about cartoons.

29. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. More research is needed to confirm the recent study result.

B. There is no connection between genes and positive emotions.

C. The recent study tested 336 adult twins by showing them funny clips.

D. The research proved the connection between laughing behaviors and smiling behaviors.

30. Which of the following may the author probably agree with?

A. The sense of humor is just decided by one factor.

B. The sense of humor can`t change once developed.

C. The sense of humor can be obtained by observing and following others.

D. The sense of humor is a relatively simple one of people`s all character traits.

31. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Can you be born humorous?           B. Is humor a necessity?

C. Can you develop your humor?         D. Is being humorous beneficial?

D

The scholars at Yale University have been carrying out a study of more than 10,000 cadets（学员）at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to determine the relative success of those who were motivated by internal rewards versus（与…相对）those driven by “instrumental”, or external rewards.

They assumed that some combination of internal and external motives would lead to the most success, as measured by the officers` willingness to stay beyond the five-year commitment to the Army and to graduate and become commissioned officers. In fact, they found that cadets who expressed the most internal motivation were more successful than those who showed mixed motives to serve.

The same subtle（微妙的）interplay between motivation and rewards is also at work when it comes to education and learning. Rewarding students for getting their schoolwork done with prizes, snacks and even grades, as most schools do, can have the unintended effect of dismantling a child`s drive to learn for its own good.

“When you hold a burger in front of kids` noses, you are telling them what kind of consequence matters, and what motive to pay attention to, “says psychology professor Barry Schwartz.” And education will suffer.”

Randy Wallock, a seventh-grade language arts teacher in New Jersey, encourages learning for its own good among his students: They`re given choice and autonomy and the freedom to work at their own pace. He also tries to build what he calls “little cultures within the classroom to encourage learning”; teenagers are responsive to social expectations, and creating environments where curiosity is cool invites more self-directed learning.

“As a teacher, you have a choice of what you respond to,” says Amy Wrzesniewski, an associate professor at Yale University. “Do you pay attention to students who have their laptops out, or do you pay attention to students who are asking intelligent questions?” she asks. Making those kids who ask intelligent questions feel “valued, responded to and celebrated,” she says, brings more of that out in others.

Schwartz agrees, but warns that sending out these kinds of signals must be done slowly and subtly. He adds, “You have to be careful you`re not making this another instrumental reward.”

32. Who turned out to be the most successful?

A. Those driven by external rewards.         B. Those motivated by internal forces.

C. Those expressing mixed motives.          D. Those providing more external motivation.

33. What does the underlined word “dismantling” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Understanding.         B. Wasting.         C. Including.         D. Ruining

34. What does Randy Wallock stress in paragraph 5?

A. Approaches to motivating students to learn.               B. How to adapt to classroom environments.

C. The importance of awakening teenagers` curiosity.         D. How to make lessons attractive to students.

35. How does Schwartz react to Wrzesniewski`s words?

A. He regards them as abstract.              B. He thinks they lack evidence.

C. He voices some concern for them.          D. He considers them unfair to some kids.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

“Good morning, everybody,” Mrs. Harris greeted the students as she entered the music room. The 65-year-old music teacher had a reputation for being strict in class, despite music seeming like a light subject. But Mrs. Harris took her job seriously, and teaching music was a massive passion for her.

She walked to the piano and started leading the students into a song to get them warmed up. This semester, she was going to teach them about composition and songwriting. Suddenly, one student raised her hand.

“Mrs. Harris, what do you like to listen to in your leisure time?” she asked curiously.

“I bet she listens to Beethoven and Tchaikovsky at home,” another student said.

“But I actually like a lot of pop music, and even some of the things you, young people, listen to nowadays. But I must admit that I listen to a lot of old songs, especially Paul McCartney,” Mrs. Harris answered, smiling at the kids.

Soon enough, the students got used to her, and some started taking her lessons more seriously. Others still liked to be playful, but she wasn`t truly mad at them.

However, the worst was yet to happen. Her husband suddenly died in the middle of the school year, and she didn`t have the heart to go to work. Fortunately, the school was accommodating. They gave her some well-deserved time off.

At first, she was like a zombie（迟钝无生气的人）at home, lying in bed all day. She didn`t even listen to music anymore. But when her daughter encouraged her to start playing tunes once again, she began to play again until she decided to return to school.

She called the headmaster, letting him know she was ready to get back to normal, even if the love of her life was gone.

“Good morning, everyone,” she began upon entering the classroom for the first time since her husband`s death. She placed her things on her desk and started to speak again. “Before we begin, I want to apologize…”

Dear Anne,

I`m writing to show my gratefulness for your help last weekend.

Although the event happened several days ago, it`s still fresh in my mind. While taking photos on a round rock, I suddenly slipped down from the rock and broke my left leg. You rushed to me before others realized what had happened. You performed first aid on my leg and accompanied me until the emergency medical personnel came. Without your help, I couldn`t have recovered so fast.

Thanks again for your kindness. I`m looking forward to getting a chance to thank you in person.

Yours,

Li Hua

One possible version:

But before she could go on, the sound of notes being played cut her off. She watched the students as they held up their instruments and played a beautiful tune for her. Wonderful notes filled the classroom, and she recognized the song immediately. It was one of Paul McCartney`s most famous songs, also her favorite. Mrs. Harris understood immediately that her students knew what had happened to her. They were giving her a gift she would never forget. Tears filled her eyes as they finished the song, and she had to take a seat to take it all in.（84 words）

Her students approached her one by one. They offered their comfort, and the girls hugged her tightly. She could only thank them for their kindness as tears flowed down her face. After a few minutes, she wiped her tears. “OK. Let`s get back to work!” she said, her voice still emotional. But her words made everyone laugh. They knew their strict teacher was back, and it made them happy. As for Mrs. Harris, she further realized that music was also the other love of her life, and teaching was her life`s purpose.（85 words）
