The Five Best Countries TO Move To For Retirement
Retiring in a different country is gaining popularity. Below are five of the best countries to seek retirement.
Costa Rica
Mild climate, breathtaking landscapes and beaches draw retirees(退休人员)to Costa Rica. The country readily welcomes immigrants and offers a simple residency process. With a monthly income of at least $ 1,000 per month from Social Security or a similar source, people enjoy a high standard of living at a much lower cost than the U．S.
Malaysia
Retirees who choose to make Malaysia home will appreciate its rich culture and attractive scenery. Moreover, the country offers modern facilities at modest prices. Immigrants enjoy convenience and comfort in their daily life. You will find lowcost rental units, delicious street food, and various shopping malls.
Mexico
Because it’s close to the U．S. , Mexico draws more than a million American retirees to its borders. Increasing immigrant communities enjoy seaside living and conversations with friendly English speaking locals. Plus, legal residents over the age of 60 receive airline, grocery, and restaurant discounts.
Panama
Gentle ocean wind takes the heat out of hot yearround temperatures, which has been the chief attraction to foreign retirees. Beautiful beaches and a booming economy also attract retirees to Panama. An income of $2,000 per month covers modest living costs. Furthermore, the country offers discounts to retirees with a special visa.
Ecuador
Lazy coastal towns, sunshining hot spots, and naturefilled views wait for immigrants seeking a carefree lifestyle. Public transportation costs in Ecuador make owning a vehicle unnecessary. A bus ride only costs 25 cents and taxi rides will run about $3.
21．What do Costa Rica and Malaysia have in common?
A．Convenient shopping. B．Relatively low living cost.
C．Various cultural activities. D．Simple immigration procedures.
22．Which country’s location specially attracts retirees from the U．S. ?
A．Malaysia’s. B．Mexico’s. C．Panama’s. D．Ecuador’s.
23．What is the main reason for retirees to choose Panama?
A．Beautiful beaches. B． A booming economy.
C．A pleasant climate. D. Discounts for retirees.

I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.
The woman looked down, shook her head and said,“Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, l don't know how I’m going to get through the holidays.”
Then she gave the cashier food stamps(食品券).
My heart ached.
I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries, ask for her husband’s resume?
As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn't a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better. My heart pounded (狂跳) as I approached the woman.
“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit, “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”
I handed her the small card from my purse.
When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said, “You have no idea how much this means to me.”
I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was, “Oh my. Would it be OK to give you a hug?”
After we embraced, I walked back to my car-and began to cry too.
The words on the card?
“You Matter.”
A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them.
24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first three paragraphs?
A. The woman and her family were having a tough time.
B. The cashier helped the woman by giving her some food for free.
C. The woman’s family mainly depends on her son.
D. The author wondered why the cashier was familiar with the woman.
25. The woman cried when she got the card, probably because .
A. it could solve her present problem B. she could use it to buy food
C. it greatly encouraged her D. it could land her husband a job
26. The underlined word “startled” in Paragraph 10 probably means .
A. interested B. grateful C. ashamed D. astonished
27. From the article, we can tell that the author is .
A. a knowledgeable person B. a kind-hearted person
C. a horrible person D. a confident person
C
For many adolescents, “screen time” is almost a full-time job that could lead to obesity, diabetes and other health issues, a Canadian researcher says.
Adolescents now spend an average of six hours a day in front of some type of screen, whether it’s a television or computer screen or one of the many portable devices now popular with young people, studies done by Dr. Ian Michael Janssen show. “They spend more hours daily in front of a screen than they do in a classroom in a given year,” said Janssen, a researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada. The result is a rise in obesity rates among adolescents. Unfortunately, fixing the problem isn’t as easy as simply cutting down screen time, Janssen cautions. “Decreasing screen time will not automatically increase physical activity levels,” said Janssen, Some active kids also spend a lot of time in front of television and computer screens, and some kids who have low screen times also have low levels of physical activity, he points out.
As well, screen time is not necessarily bad, Janssen said. “The tricky part is that children today need to be using computers,” he said. Computers are required for schoolwork, and technological skills are important for future job prospects. The quality of screen time matters too, along with the quantity---consider the negative health messages found in food advertising during children’s shows, he said. Ideally, children should aim for no more than two hours of recreational screen time a day.
Janssen’s real worry about the rise in childhood obesity rates is not that there are now rare cases of type diabetes in kids, where once there were none, but the health problems these children are likely to face in the future as adults, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.
28. Which one doesn’t belong to “screen time” according to the passage?
A. Watching TV. B. Surfing the Internet.
C. Seeing a film on an MP4. D. Making a telephone call.
29. In Janssen’s opinion, kids had better to keep healthy.
A. lose weight. B. decrease screen time
C. take physical activities D. go on a diet
30. What’s the researcher’s attitude towards “screen time of adolescents" ?
A. Concerned. B. Passive. C. Positive. D. Frightened.
31. We can learn from the passage that .
A. many of the people having full-time jobs suffer from obesity and diabetes.
B. decreasing screen time can’t really solve the problem
C. children today most use computers to finish their school work
D. a new type of obesity in kids becomes Janssen’s real worry
D
Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals.The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so-called disease “spillover(蔓延,溢出)” from animals to humans.
“As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly," said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting (转移) animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent. “Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change," Fair said.
Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair's team at Los Alamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It's early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards (果园) in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.
“We' re going by the past data to really predict what's going to happen in the future," Fair said, “And so, anytime you increase that wildlife -human interface (界面), that's sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so, that's just increasing as we go forward."
Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University's public health school, argues we don't yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year. As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.
32. How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair?
A. By breaking animals' habits. B. By increasing animals' varieties.
C. By promoting animals' breeding. D. By changing animals' living environment.
33. What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3?
A. Explaining the influence of Nipah virus.
B. Proving the harm of bats to human beings.
C. Showing the effects of climate change on disease.
D. Presenting scientists' early study about the cause of disease.
34. What can we infer from Fair's words in paragraph 4?
A. Humans should give up studying animals.
B. Past data can solve the problems in the future.
C. Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out.
D. Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks.
35. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Climate Change and Disease Spillover B. Animals' Interaction with Humans
C. Early Studies about Extreme Weather D. Scientists" Prediction for Disease Outbreaks

Increasing immigrant communities enjoy seaside living and conversations with friendly English speaking locals. Plus, legal residents over the age of 60 receive airline, grocery, and restaurant discounts.
Panama
Gentle ocean wind takes the heat out of hot yearround temperatures, which has been the chief attraction to foreign retirees. Beautiful beaches and a booming economy also attract retirees to Panama. An income of $2,000 per month covers modest living costs. Furthermore, the country offers discounts to retirees with a special visa.

I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.
The woman looked down, shook her head and said,“Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, l don't know how I’m going to get through the holidays.”
Then she gave the cashier food stamps(食品券).
My heart ached.
I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries, ask for her husband’s resume?
As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn't a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better. My heart pounded (狂跳) as I approached the woman.
“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit, “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”
I handed her the small card from my purse.
When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said, “You have no idea how much this means to me.”
I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was, “Oh my. Would it be OK to give you a hug?”
After we embraced, I walked back to my car-and began to cry too.
The words on the card?
“You Matter.”
A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them.
24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first three paragraphs?
A. The woman and her family were having a tough time.
B. The cashier helped the woman by giving her some food for free.
C. The woman’s family mainly depends on her son.
D. The author wondered why the cashier was familiar with the woman.
25. The woman cried when she got the card, probably because .
A. it could solve her present problem B. she could use it to buy food
C. it greatly encouraged her D. it could land her husband a job
26. The underlined word “startled” in Paragraph 10 probably means .
A. interested B. grateful C. ashamed D. astonished

For many adolescents, “screen time” is almost a full-time job that could lead to obesity, diabetes and other health issues, a Canadian researcher says.
Adolescents now spend an average of six hours a day in front of some type of screen, whether it’s a television or computer screen or one of the many portable devices now popular with young people, studies done by Dr. Ian Michael Janssen show. “They spend more hours daily in front of a screen than they do in a classroom in a given year,” said Janssen, a researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada. The result is a rise in obesity rates among adolescents. Unfortunately, fixing the problem isn’t as easy as simply cutting down screen time, Janssen cautions. “Decreasing screen time will not automatically increase physical activity levels,” said Janssen, Some active kids also spend a lot of time in front of television and computer screens, and some kids who have low screen times also have low levels of physical activity, he points out.
As well, screen time is not necessarily bad, Janssen said. “The tricky part is that children today need to be using computers,” he said. Computers are required for schoolwork, and technological skills are important for future job prospects. The quality of screen time matters too, along with the quantity---consider the negative health messages found in food advertising during children’s shows, he said. Ideally, children should aim for no more than two hours of recreational screen time a day.
Janssen’s real worry about the rise in childhood obesity rates is not that there are now rare cases of type diabetes in kids, where once there were none, but the health problems these children are likely to face in the future as adults, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.
28. Which one doesn’t belong to “screen time” according to the passage?
A. Watching TV. B. Surfing the Internet.
C. Seeing a film on an MP4. D. Making a telephone call.
29. In Janssen’s opinion, kids had better to keep healthy.
A. lose weight. B. decrease screen time
C. take physical activities D. go on a diet
30. What’s the researcher’s attitude towards “screen time of adolescents" ?
A. Concerned. B. Passive. C. Positive. D. Frightened.
31. We can learn from the passage that .
A. many of the people having full-time jobs suffer from obesity and diabetes.
B. decreasing screen time can’t really solve the problem
C. children today most use computers to finish their school work
D. a new type of obesity in kids becomes Janssen’s real worry
D
Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals.The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so-called disease “spillover(蔓延,溢出)” from animals to humans.
“As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly," said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting (转移) animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent. “Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change," Fair said.
Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair's team at Los Alamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It's early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards (果园) in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.
“We' re going by the past data to really predict what's going to happen in the future," Fair said, “And so, anytime you increase that wildlife -human interface (界面), that's sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so, that's just increasing as we go forward."
Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University's public health school, argues we don't yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year. As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.
32. How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair?
A. By breaking animals' habits. B. By increasing animals' varieties.
C. By promoting animals' breeding. D. By changing animals' living environment.
33. What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3?
A. Explaining the influence of Nipah virus.
B. Proving the harm of bats to human beings.
C. Showing the effects of climate change on disease.
D. Presenting scientists' early study about the cause of disease.
34. What can we infer from Fair's words in paragraph 4?
A. Humans should give up studying animals.
B. Past data can solve the problems in the future.
C. Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out.
D. Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks.
35. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Climate Change and Disease Spillover B. Animals' Interaction with Humans
C. Early Studies about Extreme Weather D. Scientists" Prediction for Disease Outbreaks
