Learning Cantnese psed challenges, such as unfamiliar characters, cmplex tnes, and different grammar structures, yet I persevered.

Within a few mnths, my Cantnese prficiency flurished, fueling a surge f cnfidence.
My explratins extended beynd the streets. I enrlled in frmal language classes that ffered prfessinal guidance. Thrugh hard wrk, I successfully cmpleted all the curses in Cantnese Linguistics.

The Netherlands is the nly cuntry in the wrld with mre bicycles than residents. By 2023, the Netherlands has a ttal f abut 25 millin bicycles, with an wnership rate f 1.35 bikes per persn. One study published by the Natinal Institutes f Health (NIH) reprts that in the Netherlands cycling prevents abut 6,500 early deaths each year, and that Dutch peple have 1.5 years lnger life expectancy (预期寿命) due t cycling.
“The time spent cycling was abut 74 minutes per week fr Dutch adults aged 20 t 90 years. The time was fairly stable ver adulthd and reached its apex in the early days f retirement, in ne’s 60s. The death rate reductin, which was a direct result f the average time spent cycling fr a certain age grup, was therefre als the highest amng the senirs wh just retire,” said Jeremy Smith, an expert frm NIH.
What is it that makes cycling s beneficial? Obviusly, cycling is a frm f exercise. It is a great frm f cardi (有氧的) exercise , which gets yur heart pumping and helps strengthen the heart muscle. Ding cardi may als help lwer yur bld pressure.
Furthermre, slid evidence prves the link between cycling and better thinking skills. Even yunger adults claim that a bike ride helps shift their thinking t a higher level — and research backs them up. In ne small study, healthy, yung men are required t cycle fr 30 minutes everyday fr 3 weeks. They als cmpleted a series f cgnitive (认知的) tests befre and afterward. After cycling, they scred higher n memry, reasning and planning, and they were able t finish the tests mre rapidly than befre.
Besides all the benefits mentined abve, cycling, as many Dutch put it, is a way f life. In their simplest frm, bikes are tls fr travelling. But they’re s much mre. They are cgnitive imprvement, envirnmental prtectin, satisfactin and an expressin f freedm. They bring peple f same passin tgether and cnnect them t a greater jurney f life.
18. Why des the authr list figures in paragraph 1?

20. What d we knw abut the study in paragraph 4?
A. It justifies mental benefits f cycling.
B. It teaches practical skills abut cycling.
C. It imprves critical thinking f yung men.
D. It cmpares cgnitive levels amng different peple.
21. What is the main idea f the text?
A. The Netherlands is a cuntry with better thinking skills.

Intelligence is traditinally viewed as the ability t think and learn. Yet in a cmplex wrld, there’s anther set f cgnitive skills that might matter mre: the ability t rethink. Therefre, my aim in this bk is t explre hw rethinking happens by seeking ut the mst cnvincing evidence and sme f the wrld’s mst skilled rethinkers.
The first sectin fcuses n pening ur wn minds. Yu’ll find ut why a frward-thinking businessman gt trapped in the past, hw a Nbel Prize–winning scientist welcmes the jy f being wrng, hw the wrld’s best frecasters update their views, and hw an Oscar-winning filmmaker has prductive fights.
The secnd sectin examines hw we can encurage ther peple t think again. Yu’ll learn hw an internatinal debate champin wins arguments and a Black musician persuades peple t abandn discriminatin. Yu’ll discver hw a special kind f listening helped an fficer cnvince the ppsing side t jin in peace talks. And if yu’re a Yankees fan, I’m ging t see if I can cnvince yu t rt fr the Red Sx.
The third sectin is abut hw we can create cmmunities f lifelng learners. In scial life, a lab that specializes in difficult cnversatins will cast light n hw we can cmmunicate better abut debated issues like climate change. In schls, yu’ll find ut hw educatrs teach kids t think again by treating classrms like museums, appraching prjects like rewriting time-hnred textbks. I clse by examining the imprtance f recnsidering ur best-laid plans.
This bk is an invitatin t let g f knwledge and pinins that are n lnger serving yu well, and t establish yur sense f self in flexibility rather than cnsistency. If yu can master the art f rethinking, I believe yu’ll be better psitined fr success at wrk and happiness in life. Thinking again can help yu generate new slutins t ld prblems and revisit ld slutins t new prblems. It’s a path t learning mre frm the peple arund yu and living with fewer regrets.
22. Hw des the authr explain his ideas in the bk?
A. By quting famus sayings. B. By reviewing traditinal theries.
C. By presenting research results. D. By prviding varius examples.
23. Which f the fllwing is prbably cvered in the secnd sectin?
A. Helping a student with a cmplex math prblem.
B. Walking an athlete thrugh a detailed training plan.
C. Talking a friend int trying a different dressing style.
D. Guiding an emplyee t build a successful career path.
24. What des the authr suggest readers d in the third sectin?
A. Find faults in textbks. B. Reflect n existing ideas.
C. Engage in climate debates. D. Change classrm decratins.
25. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Rethinking: Find New Ways t Success B. Intelligence: the Ability t Think and Learn
C. Hw Can We Adapt t a Cmplex Wrld? D. Why Des Rethinking Imprve Intelligence?

This marked the beginning f a thrilling linguistic jurney.
Learning Cantnese psed challenges, such as unfamiliar characters, cmplex tnes, and different grammar structures, yet I persevered.

The Netherlands is the nly cuntry in the wrld with mre bicycles than residents. By 2023, the Netherlands has a ttal f abut 25 millin bicycles, with an wnership rate f 1.35 bikes per persn. One study published by the Natinal Institutes f Health (NIH) reprts that in the Netherlands cycling prevents abut 6,500 early deaths each year, and that Dutch peple have 1.5 years lnger life expectancy (预期寿命) due t cycling.
“The time spent cycling was abut 74 minutes per week fr Dutch adults aged 20 t 90 years. The time was fairly stable ver adulthd and reached its apex in the early days f retirement, in ne’s 60s. The death rate reductin, which was a direct result f the average time spent cycling fr a certain age grup, was therefre als the highest amng the senirs wh just retire,” said Jeremy Smith, an expert frm NIH.

Intelligence is traditinally viewed as the ability t think and learn. Yet in a cmplex wrld, there’s anther set f cgnitive skills that might matter mre: the ability t rethink. Therefre, my aim in this bk is t explre hw rethinking happens by seeking ut the mst cnvincing evidence and sme f the wrld’s mst skilled rethinkers.
The first sectin fcuses n pening ur wn minds. Yu’ll find ut why a frward-thinking businessman gt trapped in the past, hw a Nbel Prize–winning scientist welcmes the jy f being wrng, hw the wrld’s best frecasters update their views, and hw an Oscar-winning filmmaker has prductive fights.
The secnd sectin examines hw we can encurage ther peple t think again. Yu’ll learn hw an internatinal debate champin wins arguments and a Black musician persuades peple t abandn discriminatin. Yu’ll discver hw a special kind f listening helped an fficer cnvince the ppsing side t jin in peace talks. And if yu’re a Yankees fan, I’m ging t see if I can cnvince yu t rt fr the Red Sx.
The third sectin is abut hw we can create cmmunities f lifelng learners.

In schls, yu’ll find ut hw educatrs teach kids t think again by treating classrms like museums, appraching prjects like rewriting time-hnred textbks. I clse by examining the imprtance f recnsidering ur best-laid plans.
This bk is an invitatin t let g f knwledge and pinins that are n lnger serving yu well, and t establish yur sense f self in flexibility rather than cnsistency. If yu can master the art f rethinking, I believe yu’ll be better psitined fr success at wrk and happiness in life. Thinking again can help yu generate new slutins t ld prblems and revisit ld slutins t new prblems. It’s a path t learning mre frm the peple arund yu and living with fewer regrets.
22. Hw des the authr explain his ideas in the bk?
A. By quting famus sayings. B. By reviewing traditinal theries.
C. By presenting research results. D. By prviding varius examples.

24. What des the authr suggest readers d in the third sectin?
