Chinese students explained t us the imprtance f the day and shared the flk tales abut the Festival with us happily, while freign students like me listening t them with jy. At lunchtime, mncakes were unexpectedly 18 . Then came the night, The full mn appeared: huge ball high abve the campus, and eyes lked at it with 19 . Unlike the nights befre, a cl breeze swept thrugh the campus. With Serbian music playing n my headphnes, I danced my way,
20 in the wind, and frgetting myself fr a mment.
As I went back int my rm, I was interested in the festival’s idea. My 21 mind pushed me nline where I came acrss the pem Prelude ( 前奏) t Water Meldy ( 水调歌头), by the well-knwn Chinese writer Su Dngp.

Cnsidering the time differences between China and Serbia, I was cntinuusly trying t find ut what time it was back at hme.
In the end, Su asked his family t jin him in 24 the perfectin f a full mn n a 25 night. What a way t finish! I, t, was hping that all was well with my family. Despite the distance and anxiety that cmes with nt seeing r hearing frm a lved ne, we were all flurishing (繁盛的) under the watch f the 26 mn.
And while we may g away frm hme, as happens frm time t time; the family remains the mst imprtant 27 t ur life. As the Chinese used the hliday t 28 with the lved nes, the Serbian cmmunity als gt tgether, shared a meal and walked n the streets under the nen (霓虹灯) lights.

whales heads suth tward the Bering Sea, a bdy f water separating the United States and Russia.
Halfway thrugh their jurney, the white whales find themselves swimming between tw ice fles (浮冰). Suddenly, they hear a large splash ( 溅泼声). A white whale's main enemy---an rca ( 虎鲸)---has appeared and is swimming tward the white whales. Luckily, rcas aren’t as gd at swimming thrugh ice fles as white whales are, giving the white whales time t speed up and swim away.
The white whales are safe, fr nw. “But befre getting t their destinatin, they must pass thrugh the Bering Strait cnnecting the Arctic Ocean with the Bering Sea---befre the narrw waterway freezes ver,” Hauser says. “Otherwise, their path suth culd be blcked (阻挡).”

Hw d yu feel abut nature? After spending hurs indrs, d yu feel better when yu visit yur lcal park? Mst peple think that nature is gd fr ur bdies and brains. Hwever, humans are spending mre time inside and less time utside. Fr example, the number f visitrs t Canada’s natinal parks is getting lwer every year. And in cuntries such as the USA, nly 10% f teenagers spend time utside every day. Many dctrs feel that this is a prblem in the twenty-first century.
As a result, sme dctrs are studying the cnnectin between nature and health: ne example f this is the wrk f Dr Matilda in Sweden. The dctr gave peple a maths test. During the test, their heart rates (心率) were fast. After the test, ne grup f peple sat in a 3D-virtual-reality (虚拟现实) rm fr fifteen minutes with pictures and sunds f nature. Their heart rates were slwer than peple's in the ther grup.
The virtual tuch with nature helped them feel mre relaxed. Anther gd example f hw nature is gd fr health cmes frm Canada. In Trnt, researchers studied 31,000 peple living in the city. In general, they fund that healthier peple lived near parks.
Because f studies like these, sme cuntries and cities want nature t be part f peple’s everyday
life. In Dubai (迪拜), fr example, there are plans fr a new shpping mall with a large garden s shppers can relax utside with trees, plants and water. In Switzerland, “frest schls” are ppular. Schlchildren study their subjects in the frests and d lts f exercise utside. And Suth Krea is anther gd example: it has new frests near its cities and arund 13 millin peple visit these frests every year. S after building cities fr s lng, perhaps it’s nw time t start rebuilding nature.
What des Paragraph 1 mainly talk abut?
A. Teenagers’ prblem in the 21st century.B. Hw much time we spend utdrs.
C. Visiting yur lcal park.D. Feeling abut nature.
Match the cuntries r cities with the infrmatin and chse the right answer.
① the USAa. Children study in the frests and d lts f activities utside.
② Dubaib. Abut 13 millin peple visit new frests near its cities every year.
③ Switzerlandc. A new shpping mall with a large garden will be built.
④ Suth Kread. 10% f teenagers spend time utside every day. A. ①-a ②-d ③-b ④-cB. ①-d ②-c ③-a ④-b
C. ①-a ②-c ③-d ④-bD. ①-d ②-c ③-b ④-a
What d the results f the studies shw?
Mre and mre Canadians will live near parks.
The maths test is difficult and makes peple nervus.
Nature can help peple feel mre relaxed and be healthier.
Peple's heart rates get slwer in a 3D—virtual—reality rm.
What can we infer frm the last sentence f the passage?
Nature is mre imprtant than cities.
Cuntry life is healthier than city life.
Peple have lived in the cities fr s lng.
Nature shuld be part f peple’s daily life.

It was the secnd time that the rcket had successfully taken turists int space. Bezs believes that in the future, millins f peple will live and wrk in space. This will reduce the amunt f pllutin being caused n Earth.
Hwever, Prince William says peple shuld fix prblems n Earth befre ging t space. “We need t put the wrld’s greatest brains tgether t try t repair this planet, instead f trying t find the next place t g and live.” he says. What d yu think? Is space turism a gd idea?
