When it comes to our favorite adventures, there’s nothing like a trip centered around wildlife.

Witness East Africa’s Great Migration

One of the most popular trips is undoubtedly witnessing East Africa’s Great Migration. This is an incredible opportunity to see almost two million wildebeest（牛羚）, along with zebras and gazelles, begin their journey north from the Serengeti, where they choose to give birth to their young, to the Masai Mara in search of water and better grasslands. The journey is also filled with predators, such as crocodiles and lions, making for dramatic and emotional encounter.

Go whale watching in Alaska

Alaska has a lot going for it; shocking glaciers, thick forests and ample wildlife. Alaska has more than three thousand rivers and three billion lakes, and is also home to multiple whale species during the summer months. Visitors can choose to see them on small whale-watching boat tours and on personal sea kayaks.

Dive with marine life in the Great Barrier Reef

For scuba divers, nothing can quite compare to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, which is home to more than 1,600 species of fish, 133 species of sharks and 30 species of whales and dolphins. Unfortunately, the reef has been extremely affected by coral bleaching（漂白）, resulting in the loss of reportedly half of its coral. Still, the Great Barrier Reef remains breathtaking, and eco-friendly tours are available.

Spot polar bears in Svalbard

Polar bears are a striking symbol of wildlife in the Arctic. To see them in the wild, head to Svalbard, Norway. Tours around the area usually run between June and July, when polar bears spend more time on land. All tours are undertaken by trained guides and carried out under tight rules. For the sake of the tourists’ safety, they are required to watch polar bears from a distance.

A. To reproduce their young.      B. To seek for water and food.

C. To avoid meeting with lions.     D. To fight against the predators.

2. Which trip best suits people enjoying underwater tour?

A. Witness East Africa’s Great Migration.

B. Go whale watching in Alaska.

C. Dive with marine life in the Great Barrier Reef.

D. Spot polar bears in Svalbard.

After working seven years in finance in Chile, I started questioning my career choice. In the man-dominated finance world, it was hard for me to climb the ladder. I decided to make a change. So I left my job, wondering what would be my next step. The following year witnessed me taking various classes to find what I was passionate about until the science of making bread appealed to me, which brought me waves of excitement.

In 2017, my husband and I moved to Lansdale, where I got a certificate from a 12- week general baking program. I had intended to open a bakery, but the high rent and the slight chance of gaining money soon discouraged me from taking a risk. When seeing that baking bread was a locally lost art, I figured that teaching baking classes could be my choice. Yet, my accent and my born shyness put me at disadvantage in public speaking. At the critical moment, my husband was the one who told me, “You can do this. ”

In 2018, I rented space in Lansdale and created Vituperio Artisan Breads &. Studio. I started small by offering free classes, not knowing whether I could make it. To deal with my initial nervousness, I approached teaching like I were an actor until I got myself comfortable in the class. In this way I not only tested myself but also learnt about what those attendants were interested in and capable of, thus attracting more people to my baking classes. All the classes were in person until March 2020, when I had to switch to teaching online. People told me it was a blessing and a joy to be able to make tasty bread during the pandemic.

As an immigrant, I took the initial leap of faith down a new path to start a business from scratch, hard as it might be. Looking forward, I’d like to bring more teens into the studio to give them the skills to consider a career in this field.

4. Why did the author choose to leave her job in finance?

A. She hoped to do what she liked best.

B. Her professional skills were questioned.

C. She had little chance of getting promoted.

D. Finance failed to bring her any excitement.

5. What made it possible for the author to start her own baking class?

B. The declining house rent in the area.

C. The local people’s desire for baking skills.

D. Her husband’s support at the crucial moment.

6. How did the author try to get over her early nervousness?

A. Behaving like a performer in class.

B. Pretending to be comfortable in public.

C. Transferring to teaching baking online.

D. Offering small classes to the attendants.

If you face two similar valued options for where to attend college, you have weighed the pros and cons, but you still have difficulty deciding. You decide to give it more time, and think about it a bit more.

The findings of a fascinating paper titled Irrational Time Allocation in Decision-Making suggests you might be making a mistake. Participants in the research viewed images that contained pairs of different foods and they had to choose which item they preferred to eat.

The researchers found that participants spent more time choosing between options that were roughly equal in value than between options in which there was a large value disparity. In other words, people took longer than they should have when deciding between two equally appealing choices. When shown an unpleasant food alongside a favored food, participants chose quickly. When shown a favored food alongside another favored food, people took a while.

Relatedly, there is research suggesting that people take longer to distinguish between two numbers when there is a small difference than when there is a large one. For example, people take longer to determine which number is larger between 47 vs 49 than for 12 vs 35. Perhaps this tendency explains why people take so long to choose between two options with roughly equal payoffs. In the same way that we have difficulty distinguishing numbers that are nearly equal in value, we also have difficulty choosing between options that are roughly equally pleasant.

However, there are doubts among people. Some think this seems not reasonable. If two choices are equally appealing, then the decision shouldn’t take so long. Some wonder whether this works in the opposite direction—whether duration of decision-making implies that options are equal. When options are roughly equal, people tend to take a long time to decide. Does this suggest that if people take a long time to decide, then options are roughly equal? Maybe in some instances, the longer we take to make a decision, the less it matters what we actually choose.

8. What’s people’s common practice in decision making?

A. They often rush a decision without much thinking.

B. They seldom balance advantages and disadvantages.

C. They only concentrate on their personal preferences.

D. They tend to spend too much time on their options.

9. What does the underlined word “disparity” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Difference.    B. Preference.    C. Growth.    D. Potential.

10. What does the research convey in paragraph 4?

A. It is difficult for people to value their options.

B. The value of numbers is difficult to distinguish.

C. People hesitate when facing two similar choices.

D. People prefer to take those high-valued options.

11. What is the best title for the text?

A. Never too late to make a decision    B. Be patient with appealing choices

C. How to handle various choices?    D. The more time, the better decision?

D

Imagine a world where everything has their own virtual, real-time computerized replica（替身）—a digital double. That concept is known as the digital twin and it could provide a way to improve our lives in the real world. More than just imitation, digital twins take information from Internet-connected objects through Internet of Things （IoT） devices, use data almost instantly to see the effects of changing conditions and then make adjustments rapidly.

In construction, the digital twin means buildings become safer and cheaper to build because digital twins have access to real weather, structural and stress point data. Bridges like the Queensferry Crossing in Scotland, for example, use measurements of water level and wind speed to improve safety and manage traffic flow. Connected buildings then make smart cities, where buildings talk to one another and future function can be predicted. In Australia’s state of Victoria, local government is building a digital twin of the entire state.

Manufacturing is another sector being affected by digital twin technology. Placing thousands of sensors throughout the production line allows companies to see how work is performed at each step of the process, system efficiency and any bottlenecks.

Likewise, in healthcare, the digital twin concept means creating computer models of disease or even a virtual human body. Personalized medicines or treatments could then be developed using a medical twin of each patient. And even health problems could be cut out before they begin.

“I think maintaining a persistent set of computerized models that are constantly being updated and evolved alongside physical equivalents is really the essence of digital twins,” said Michael Kapteyn, a leading researcher studying digital twin computer models. In the foreseeable future, digital twins may eventually become an essential part of our everyday lives by enabling individuals without previous technical knowledge to finally get simple answers to complex questions.

12. In what way do digital twins benefit people?

A. They create a colorful virtual world.

B. They provide a way to better people’s lives.

C. They improve the data through IoT devices instantly.

D. They promote the copies of Internet-connected objects.

13. Why does the author mention the Queensferry Crossing in paragraph 2?

A. To clarify a detail.      B. To make a comparison.

C. To explain a rule.      D. To present an application.

14. What can we expect of the digital twin technology?

A. It will popularize the application of sensors.

B. It may replace the traditional production line.

C. It might offer patients personalized treatments.

D. It could manage to avoid all health problems.

15. What is vital for digital twins according to Michael Kapteyn?

A. Updating physical equivalents constantly.

B. Adding more sets of computerized models.

C. Enabling people to figure out tough questions.

D. Keeping a digital double renewed continually.

It’s clear that COVID-19 conditions have affected people’s stress levels, sleep, and mental health. This, in turn, has led to our poorer performance on tasks that require attention, memory, or decision making.    16    Here are some steps you can take to clear the fog away.

Be more intentional about consuming news.

Exercise regularly—outside, if you can.

    18    When we exercise, we encourage blood flow through our bodies. If you have a park or open space nearby, try spending some time moving in green spaces. Research confirms that being out in more natural settings is helpful for our well-being and cognition.

    19    

The lack of socializing during COVID lockdowns may have been particularly hard on people’s cognition. A recent review of many studies confirms that socializing is important for keeping yourself cognitively fit. So, it’s a good idea to try to be with others to keep your brain functioning well.

Try new challenges.

While many of us have been tough during the pandemic years, we can do something good for our brains at any time: learn new things.    20    Whether there’s a pandemic on or not, using your brain in new, challenging ways is good for neural health. Including new things into your everyday routines could give your brain a fun workout.

A. Stay connected with others.

B. Look through the social websites.

C. But repeated exposure to crises does harm to our well-being.

D. Getting exercise, on the other hand, is often tied to better cognition.

E. Many of us are paying the cost of the pandemic in the form of “brain fog”.

F. One of the best tools for fighting depression and thinking more clearly is exercise.

G. Some people have learned to play a new instrument, write poems, or build furniture.

It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown Portland. We were a bunch of campers on our day off, just out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic, so when lunch time came, we set our sights on a small park in the town. Since we all had different appetites, we decided to split up, get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.

When my friend Robby headed for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her company. We watched the stand owner put together the perfect hot dog, just the way Robby wanted it. But when she took out her money to pay him, the man surprised us.

“It looks a little cool on the side,” he said, “so never mind paying me. This will be my free gift of the day. ”

We said our thanks, joined our friends in the park, and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate, I was distracted by a man sitting alone nearby, looking at us. I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another homeless person, I thought, like all the others you see in cities. I didn’t pay much more attention than that.

We finished eating and decided to head off for more sightseeing. But when Robby and I went to the garbage can to throw away my lunch bag, I heard a weak voice ask, “There isn’t any food in that bag, is there? ”

It was the man who had been watching us. I didn’t know what to say. “No, I ate it already. ”

“Oh!” was his only answer. He was obviously hungry, couldn’t bear to see anything thrown away, and was used to asking this question.

I felt bad for the man, but I didn’t know what I could do. That’s when Robby said, “I’ll be right back. Please wait a minute, ” and ran off.

I watched curiously as she went forward. She went across the grass, heading to the hot dog stand. Then I realized what she was doing. Chatting with the stand owner for a moment, she bought another hot dog, crossed back to the trash can, and gave the hungry man the food with a smile. Face lighting up, the homeless man was so grateful, thanked Robby and ate heartily in the sunshine. When she came back to us, Robby said simply, “I was just passing on the kindness that someone gave to me. ”

That day I learned how generosity can go farther than the person you give to. We appreciated it so much that we got a free gift from the kind hot dog stand owner. What’s most impressive is that Robby passed on the kindness to a homeless man too. We never know what happiness a simple act of kindness will bring about. By giving, we also teach others how to give. Remember: “The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose”.
