Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia
A
Five of the most beautiful villages


This village seems to disappear into the sky. All the houses are painted white and the skies are clear. It's not surprising that the life here is very relaxing, and it is also home to plenty of cafes and art galleries.
Wengen in Switzerland
Do you ever wonder how the world was before cars were invented? The village called Wengen might just help you realize your dreams. Cars have been banned from this area for close to 100 years, and everything looks like it was taken right out of Heidi. The locals have kept their Swiss culture undamaged.
Shirakawa-go in Japan
This village is certainly known for its unusual houses with triangular roofs which seem
to resemble hands joined in prayer. It's designed to keep snow from piling up on top of houses. These houses are the symbol of the area but there aren't many of them left anymore.
Eze in France
France in itself is pretty, but its most attractive village is Eze. This community seems to be frozen in time. This village is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice. During the Middle Ages, it was desired by invaders(侵略者),and while this was a cause
of sadness for the local people in the past, today the village enjoys its rich heritage(遗产).The
architecture here is so diverse.
Bibury in England
Located on the River Coln in the West of England, Bibury was described as "the most beautiful village in England”. Honey-colored 17th-century stone cottages, the Church of St.Mary and a still-working 1902 farm are some of the ancient village’s must-sees. The most photographed spot is Arlington Row, which is a collection of 14th-century stone buildings. 21.Where can visitors enjoy paintings?

That youngsters were glued to online games on their smartphones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a schoolteacher in Nirjuli. The 30-year-old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre( 文 化 中 心 ), said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers.

there's an absence of any cohesive（连贯性的）expression. They lack guidance and reading
culture is almost zero." Meena said. When her school and the centre had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena setup a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th,2020, where passers-by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children. "I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read,but that is okay." she laughed.

Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town.
Now, generous contributions of book so me in from the public and she is even receiving requests to setup such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itanagar. Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.

"I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration," Meena said. "Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends. The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things. I don't want them to head on the wrong track," she added.
24. What's the aim of Meena's reading program？

C
While we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens（ 智人） somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved （ 进 化 ） is still unknown,and mainstream theories fall into two distinctly different camps.
One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation. That was where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specific physical features of a population made that population more likely to survive its environment, like the turtle（ 海龟） and its shell. On one hand,humans needed to communicate with each other in order to hunt, farm and defend themselves successfully from the surrounding severe

environment. Being able to communicate by using language gave the human species a distinct survival advantage. On the other hand, language was needed for social interaction,ace or ding to those who subscribed to the adaptation theory.
In their paper "Natural Language and Natural Selection," researchers Steven Pinker and Paul Bloom theorized that a series of calls or gestures evolved overtime into combinations, giving us complex communication, or language. As things became more complicated around them, humans needed a more complex system to convey information to one another. Early man saw a group of deer he wanted to hunt. He made a sound to his hunting partner that means "deer are nearby." One day, a storm came in and the hunter noticed that thunder scared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the storm passed. Overtime, the same hunter also learned to recognize the warning signs for bad weather-dark skies and increased wind.Early man real zed that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed to tell his hunting partner to speedup the pursuit of the deer. Therefore, he came up with a series of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather. That series of sounds was the beginning of an evolutionary adaptation that eventually bee a me language.
As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to convey these survival methods to their population. To be brief, that's the adaptation theory.
28. What is the text mainly about？
A. The evolution of language.
B. The paper on natural selection.
C. The differences between theories.
D. The introduction to human reproduction.
29. Why are the turtle and its shell mentioned in paragraph 2？
A. To show the mystery of nature.
B. To support the evolutionary adaptation.
C. To stress the advantage of the turtle's shell.
D. To encourage people to study natural selection.
30. How does the author explain the adaptation theory in paragraph 3？
A. By comparing. B. By listing data.
C. By carrying out a survey. D. By giving an example.

31. What will the author most probably tell us next？
A. The other theory of how language evolved.
B. The exact place where humans came from.
C. The reasons why animals can not form language.
D. The methods of humans' shaping nonverbal thinking.
D
There can be magic in the touch of a hand that loves you. It brings comfort and a silent promise that says,"I am here and you are not alone."
I memorized every detail about my children. As babies, they reached for me whenever they were hungry or tired or just needed to be held.Sometimes, if they woke in the night,just the touch of my hand would ease them back to sleep. They clung to me when they took their first steps and we held hands when crossing streets and walking from the car to their classroom on their first day of school.
As they grew older and more independent, I noticed that they didn't hold my hand much anymore. I told myself it was part of growing up, and I should just be glad they could do things on their own now.
But when you've been needed so much for such a long time, it's hard to step back and feel unnecessary.
Then one day, I was visiting my oldest son in New York, where he was working as an actor on a TV show.As we were about to cross a busy street that was filled with traffic, he grabbed my hand and shouted, "Hang on to me,Mom," then led me safely across.
At that moment, I realized two things. First, my boy had become a man.Second, it was clear that our roles had changed. We still needed each other,but in different ways than before.
That scene has replayed in various ways with each of my three children. They have all taught me to lean on them just as they once leaned on me, and that we can always lean on each other. We live miles apart, but stay in touch every day. There is magic and comfort and healing in the touch of a hand that loves you, even if it "touches" you from afar.
