Recently, the “city walk” has been gaining steam amng residents and turists arund China. Onscial platfrm Xiahngshu, data shws that the number f city walk-related tpic psts has increasedby 700 percent ver the past three mnths, and the ttal number f interactins has increased by mrethan 600 percent.
A city walk is a frm f urban turism riginating in the UK. Unlike traditinal sightseeing, whichaims t hit famus attractins and cmmercial center, usually by vehicles with tense schedules, city walkis abut “raming” arund a city n ft, saking up the atmsphere and finding unusual things that evena resident f the city might nt have nticed befre. Such walks generally avid famus scenic spts andshpping centers, and take yu t places where yu can have real interactins with the lcal peple, eatat small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding f the histry and culture f the city.
City walkers are a cast f peple wh pssess intense curisity. They are eager t engage with thecity they are visiting r reside in their wn way. By “raming” n ft, city walkers can better feel thetexture and listen t the breath f a place. They seek pleasure mre thrugh cnnectin than cnsumptin,which indicates a deep cultural curisity. Fr example, in Chngqing, if yu dn’t take a walk, yu canhardly experience the unique gegraphical charm f the muntainus city. Be it the hutng in Beijing rthe Chinese parasl tree district in Shanghai; city walks allw peple t see the scenery apart frm thescene and uncver hidden knwledge.
The appeal f a city walk lies in the yung generatin’s changing attitude tward life — pursuingquality leisure time while being ccupied with demanding wrklads and limited time fr explratin.While raming alng the rad, yu can entirely fcus n yurself and listen t yur inner vice and carefr what yu feel, which is a way t lve yurself and benefit yur mental health. Just like Oscar Wildence said, “T lve neself is the beginning f a lifelng rmance.”

In recent years, labels have increasingly been used by the fd industry. Whether “nn-GMO” r“zer trans fat”, “n added hrmnes” r “sugar-free”, cnsumers are demanding mre infrmatinabut what’s in their fd.
A reprt by Nielsen fund that 39 percent f cnsumers wuld switch frm the brands theycurrently buy t thers that prvide clearer, mre accurate prduct infrmatin. Fd manufacturers areusing the new labels t meet cnsumers’ demand, with an eye twards giving their prducts a leg up verthe cmpetitin, and their bttm lines a bst as well.
On its face, the new marketing strategy makes sense. But these s-called “absence claims” labelsare harmful bth t the cnsumers wh purchase the prducts and the industry that supplies them. Frexample, Hunt’s put a “nn-GMO” label n its tmates a few years ag — despite the fact that, at thetime, there was n such thing as a GMO tmat n the market. Over the lng term, this strategy willhave the ppsite effect: by creating fear, we run the risk f damaging cnsumers’ trust.
Eventually, it becmes a questin in cnsumers’ minds: Shuld I have ever been eating these fdsin the first place? By purchasing and cnsuming these types f prducts, have I already dne sme kindf harm t me?
Fr fd manufacturers, it will damage cnsumers’ trust, which in turn wuld lwer sales fr thewhle fd industry. And this isn’t just suppsitin. A recent study by a grup f academics at theUniversity f Delaware fund that “absence claims” labels can stigmatize(污名化) fd prduced withcnventinal prcesses even when there is n scientific evidence that they cause harm.
In additin t the likely negative lng-term impact n sales, it sends a message that innvatins in farming and fd prcessing are unwelcme, eventually leading t less efficiency, fewer chices fr cnsumers, and, ultimately, mre cstly fd prducts. Therefre, it’s clear that fd manufacturers mustbe careful when using “absence claims” as a marketing strategy. If we allw this kind f labelfear-mngering t cntinue, the lsers will be all f us.
28. What is fd manufacturers’ new marketing strategy?
A. Handing ut free samples fr cnsumers t taste.
B. Using creative wrappers t each custmers’ eyes.
C. Attracting cnsumers by labelling “absence claims”.
D. Offering mre detailed gds infrmatin t custmers.
29. What des the authr intend t indicate by mentining Hunt’s?
A. The Hunt’s takes a lead in the fd-marketing strategy.
B. Prducts withut “nn-GMO” labels are usually unhealthy.
C. Cnsumers tend t purchase prducts with “absence claims” labels.
D. The “absence claims” labels will have negative effects n cnsumers.
30. What impact des the new marketing strategy have n fd manufacturers?
A. It will cut dwn the sales f their fd prducts.
B. It will help remve the stigma f their brand histry.
C. It will damage the trust f their cperative partners.
D. It might increase the cnsumptin f fd prcessing.
31. What des the authr advise fd manufacturers t d?
A. Increase fd chices fr cnsumers.
B. Use “absence claims” labels cautiusly.
C. Imprve the efficiency f fd prductin.
D. Innvate the prcessing methds f fd prducts.

The cmmnly held belief that it takes 21 days t frm a new habit can be traced back t a 1960 bk by plastic surgen Maxwel Maltz called Psych-Cybernetics. In his wrk treating patients wh hadgne thrugh facial recnstructin surgery, Maltz nticed that it typically tk arund three weeks frthem t adjust t seeing their new faces in the mirrr. He als fund that individuals wh had lst a limbstill sensed “phantm(幻觉的)” pains in the missing arm r leg fr abut 21 days.
Based n these perceptins(认知) f recvery time after significant physical changes, Maltztherized in his bk that it likely takes a minimum f 21 days fr the neurlgical path ways in urbrains assciated with ld behavirs and habits t g away, and fr new mental images and rutines ttake firm rt. This idea f a standardized 21-day frmatin perid fr habits sn became widelyaccepted.
Hwever, Maltz was drawing causal inferences rather than cnducting strict scientific research. Itwasn’t until 2010 that health psychlgist Phillippa Lally at University Cllege Lndn decided tprperly study habit frmatin timelines. She designed a year-lng experiment that tracked 96participants as they each established a single new habit f their chsing. Every day, subjects reprted nwhether they successfully perfrmed their intended behavir that day as well as hw autmatic the actin felt.
Lally’ findings revealed that n average, it tk 66 days befre a habit became a nrmal part f arutine and felt autmatic. But results varied widely, with habits frming anywhere frm 18 days up t254 days between individuals. Cnsistency was the key factr in successfully making a behavir habitual,with smetimes missing days nt stpping verall prgress.
This landmark study disprved the assumed 21-day standard and shwed that a wide range ftimelines are nrmal. Ultimately, cmmitting t cnsistently practicing a new behavir fr mnths, nt weeks, is what allws real habit change and imprvement t ccur naturally in the brain. Understandinghabit frmatin as a gradual, individualized prcess helps peple develp psitive rutines withutunrealistic expectatins.
32. What is Maltz’s assumptin based n?
A. An intensive survey.B. Psychlgical wrk.
C. The strict scientific research.D. His persnal bservatins.
33. Why did Lally’s team cnduct the research?
A. T prve Maltz’s thery n habit frmatin.
B. T identify timelines fr establishing new habits.
C. T explre the factrs in affecting habit frmatin.
D. T present advantages f develping gd behavir.
34. What d we knw abut Lally’s findings?
A. There are large individual differences in frming habits.
B. Mst participants tk 66 days t make a behavir habitual.
C. It is harder t frm a new habit than t persist with an ld ne.
D. Occasinal stps have a big effect n the prgress f habit frmatin.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. What Is the Key t Frm a New Habit?
B. Hw D We Develp Psitive Rutines?
C. When Is the Best Time t Start a New Habit?
D. Des It Really Take 21 Days t Build a New Habit?

Dear Simn,
It is a great hnr fr me t recmmend my favrite “Stinky Tfu” t yu. I’ll give yu a detailed descriptin f it.
Of all the fds I have ever tried, stinky tfu is my favrite. It is blackish r glden brwn. As the name suggests, the smell is terrible but surprisingly, the taste is actually quite mild. It tastes like fried tfu with mre f a little sweetness and the sauce makes it taste even mre delicius. Deep-fried stinky tfu is firm n the utside but sft and juicy n the inside. Nw I can tell the differences between varius versins f it and like all f their unique flavrs as well as their distinctive smells.
T sum up, I believe yu will enjy stinky tfu t the fullest and nt miss it.
Yurs sincerely,
