A cuple in their 60s has travelled 12,000 miles acrss 16 cuntries frm Britain t China - riding their bikes all the way. Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped n the lng jurney after deciding t “d smething a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, muntains and everything in between acrss Eurpe, the Middle East and the East Asia.
Peter, 66, said the mment they finally had a lk at the famus Great Wall after a year and a half f cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end f their jurney, the special pair didn’t fly hme but instead chse t bk a cabin inside a 400m-lng ship.
“Yu never knw what the day is ging t bring. All yu knw is that yu are ging t get n yur bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is unbelievable,” Peter said.
At first Peter and Chris set ut t cycle frm Britain in January 2017 but were frced hme. They had cycled all the way t Hungary when Peter slipped and brke his leg. After seven mnths f recvery, the cuple set ut again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in Nvember 2018.
Bth Peter and Chris agreed that the best part f the entire trip was cming acrss the kindness f strangers alng the way, many f whm invited the cuple fr fd and drink. Chris, 64, said, “It was a wnderful experience, particularly wnderful because f the amazing peple we met alng the way.”
4. What’s the cuple’s purpse f taking the lng jurney?
A. T try smething new.
B. T break the wrld recrd.
C. T g acrss 16 cuntries by bike.
D. T celebrate their 37-year marriage.
5. Hw did the cuple g back t their hme after the trip t China?
A. By cycling.B. By train.
C. By plane.D. By sea.
6. Why did the cuple put ff their trip in 2017?

We all knw that it’s gd t be kind t thers. But what des that mean fr us? What acts f kindness will make us happiest and wh will benefit the mst? A new review f kindness research prvides sme answers.
Researchers analyzed the results frm 126 research articles lking at almst 200, 000 participants frm arund the wrld. The studies they chse all had t meet certain criteria, such as including nly adults and reprting gd statistical data. Sme were experiments while thers just surveyed peple abut hw kind and happy they were. The studies measured well-being in many ways, including bth mental and physical health.
As expected, peple wh were kind tended t have higher well-being. Althugh the relatinship was nt, strnger than it was, lead researcher Bryant Hui was still encuraged by the result. “Althugh the relatinship is weaker, the effect still has a significant impact,” he says.
He and his clleagues cnsidered when kindness might have a bigger impact n ur well-being. One thing they fund was that peple wh perfrmed randm, infrmal acts f kindness tended t be happier than peple wh perfrmed mre frmal acts f kindness. It’s pssible that infrmal helping may fill ur mre basic psychlgical needs fr clse relatinships, which is why it culd lead t greater happiness.
The researchers als fund that peple wh were kind tended t have a higher sense f meaning and purpse in life. Perhaps this makes sense, given that being kind invlves effrt which makes peple feel cnfident abut themselves and their abilities. And that prvides a sense f meaning.
8. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Act f kindness makes us happiest.B. Being kind makes us healthy and happy.
C. Randm acts f kindness are better than frmal nes.D. Ding act f kindness t thers imprves ur abilities.
9. Hw did the researchers get the finding?
A. By ding surveys.B. By carrying ut experiments.
C. By cmparing research data.D. By analyzing results f articles.
10. Why des being kind give peple a sense f meaning and purpse in life?
A Because it makes peple healthier.B. Because it bsts clse relatinships.
C. Because it imprves peple’s cnfidence.D. Because it prmtes awareness f respnsibility.
11. Where is the text mst likely frm?
A. A diary.B. A guide bk.C. A nvel.D. A magazine.
D
Sme peple, regardless f what they lack—mney, lks, r scial cnnectins—always shw with energy and cnfidence. Even the mst dubting individuals find themselves attracted with these lvely persnalities. These peple are the nes yu turn t fr help, advice, and cmpaninship. Yu just can’t get enugh f them, and they leave yu asking yurself, “What d they have that I dn’t? What makes them s attractive?”
The difference? Their sense f self-wrth cmes frm within. Attractive peple aren’t cnstantly searching fr value, because they’re cnfident enugh t find it in themselves. There are certain habits they pursue every day t keep this healthy view. Since being attractive isn’t the result f dumb luck, it’s time t study the habits f attractive peple s that yu can use them t yur benefit.
Get ready t say “hell” t a new, mre attractive yu. Attractive peple treat everyne with respect. Whether interacting with their biggest shppers r a server taking their drink rder, attractive peple are unfailingly plite and respectful. They treat every ne with respect because they believe they’re n belief than anyne else.
They fllw the glden rule. One persn lves public recgnitin, while anther hates being the center f attentin. The glden rule is t treat thers as they want t be treated. Attractive peple are great at reading ther peple, and they adjust their behavirs and styles t make thers fell cmfrtable.
Bringing it all tgether, attractive peple have simply perfected certain appealing qualities and habits that anyne can adpt as their wn. They think abut ther peple mre than they think abut themselves, and they make ther peple feel liked, respected, understd and seen. Just remember: the mre yu fcus n thers, the mre attractive yu’ll be.
12. Why are the peple with lvely persnalities different frm yu?
A. Because they shw cnfidence and energy.
B. Because they maintain their healthy view.
C. Because they get alng well with dubting individuals.
D. Bemuse they dn’t lack mney, lks, r scial cnnectins.
13. What des the underlined phrase “dumb luck” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?

C Valuable belief.D. Gd frtune.

We all knw that it’s gd t be kind t thers. But what des that mean fr us? What acts f kindness will make us happiest and wh will benefit the mst? A new review f kindness research prvides sme answers.
Researchers analyzed the results frm 126 research articles lking at almst 200, 000 participants frm arund the wrld. The studies they chse all had t meet certain criteria, such as including nly adults and reprting gd statistical data. Sme were experiments while thers just surveyed peple abut hw kind and happy they were. The studies measured well-being in many ways, including bth mental and physical health.
As expected, peple wh were kind tended t have higher well-being. Althugh the relatinship was nt, strnger than it was, lead researcher Bryant Hui was still encuraged by the result. “Althugh the relatinship is weaker, the effect still has a significant impact,” he says.
He and his clleagues cnsidered when kindness might have a bigger impact n ur well-being. One thing they fund was that peple wh perfrmed randm, infrmal acts f kindness tended t be happier than peple wh perfrmed mre frmal acts f kindness. It’s pssible that infrmal helping may fill ur mre basic psychlgical needs fr clse relatinships, which is why it culd lead t greater happiness.
The researchers als fund that peple wh were kind tended t have a higher sense f meaning and purpse in life. Perhaps this makes sense, given that being kind invlves effrt which makes peple feel cnfident abut themselves and their abilities. And that prvides a sense f meaning.

A Because it makes peple healthier.B. Because it bsts clse relatinships.
C. Because it imprves peple’s cnfidence.D. Because it prmtes awareness f respnsibility.
11. Where is the text mst likely frm?
A. A diary.B. A guide bk.C. A nvel.D. A magazine.
D
