Last mnth, I mved abrad fr tw years t study, taking just a single suitcase with me.I culdn’t affrd t keep my frmer flat, s when it came t my pssessins , extreme measures were called fr. Sme f my stuff, like bks, I culd give them away. But there was a list f things like precius paintings and my childhd teddy bear that I culdn’t bring myself t let g. S I decided t ffer these things up fr lng-term lan. It’s nt recycling. I’m calling it “share-cycling”. I made the decisin as I imagined smene I lved putting my tent nt their back and setting ff int the cuntryside in the summer sunshine. This made it feel as thugh I wuld still, in sme way, be with my friends. And nce I’d cme up with the idea, it just grew and grew. I decided t give away everything I wned!
T get rid f all, I invited everyne I knew t take my belngings. When the peple first came rund, they all sat arund drinking tea and glancing at the cupbards. I was beginning t wnder why I had asked them t g thrugh my stuff and take what they wanted. But sn I became like a sales assistant. I recmmended nvels, waved tys at babies, and brught ut clthes fr peple t try n.
Nw I am sitting in a flat n the ther side f the wrld. I feel very far frm my hme, and frm my stuff. That list I made f the things I want back? I’m nt sure hw much I’ll need it. S far, I haven’t missed any f my pictures, r thse memrable things. Instead, I’ve missed my family, my friends, and my city.
My “share-cycling” plan ties me back t them. A friend tk my tent t a music festival. And my favurite picture ended up n the wall f my best friend’s flat. This is what gives me a-real-buzz:the thught f all my bits and pieces in my friends’ lives, a physical reminder f ur ties. It’s like I’ve pressed “pause” n my city life rather than “stp”, making the mve easier.

As we all knw, trees are always statinary: they stay mre r less where yu plant them, and n ne wrries abut finding a tree wandering arund a park r back yard.
Hwever, there is ne special exceptin, sme say: the s-called walking palm tree (棕桐树) was fund in the rainfrests f Central and Suth America. Many peple believe it can really walk arund. This is because f its unusual rt system: while mst trees have ne trunk, the palm breaks int many smaller rts a few feet ff the grund, giving it the appearance f many little legs.
The amazing walking ability f the palm tree has always been tld by rainfrest guides t turists fr years, and appears in many surces f dcuments as an amazing plant adaptatin. As jurnalist Sherry Seethaler writes in her bk Curius Flks Ask 2: “Screen writers searching fr the perfect B-mvie (小成本电影) plant her culd take inspiratin frm the walking palm. The tree slwly walks frm shade t sunlight by grwing new rts tward the light.”
A tree that walks in search f the sun is a fascinating, strange stry. And it’s nt true either; the tree is real enugh, but it desn’t walk. It sits where it began t grw, nt mving except under the frce f wind r an axe.
Bilgist Gerard Avals is ne f the wrld’s tp experts n the palm tree. His analysis f the plant and its rts shws that the walking tree can’t walk because its rts dn’t mve. A few rts n ne side r anther may die ff, but the trunk itself remains, well, rted t the spt.
“My paper prves that the belief f the walking palm is just a myth,” Avals said. “Thinking that a palm tree culd actually track the sunlight changes by mving slwly ver the frest flr… is a myth that turist guides find amusing t tell visitrs t the rainfrest.”
33. What is the reasn fr n ne wrries abut wandering trees?
A. Trees are nt always standing.B. Trees are nt always mving.
C. Trees are nt always grwing.D. Trees are nt always dying.
34. Why d peple think the palm tree can walk arund?
A. It has n rts undergrund.B. It appears t have several trunks.
C. It grws a few feet ff the grund.D. It appears t have many little legs.
35. What can we learn abut the palm tree frm the passage?
A. It wanders arund the rainfrest at night.
B. It grws in Central and Nrth America.
C. It is a ppular attractin amng visitrs.
D. It grws well in the shade f the rainfrests.
36. What des bilgist Gerard Avals believe?
A. The palm tree cannt actually walk at all.B. The palm tree can mve its rts.
C. The palm tree can track the sunlight.D. The palm tree cannt keep its trunk grwing.

As an art graduate, I have always cnsidered myself an artist.Hwever, my jurney as a jewelry maker began with an earring-making experience during the pandemic when businesses were shutting dwn.

Surprisingly, my creatins were bught and wrn by mre and mre peple, shipped acrss the cuntry, and carried in luggage as gifts r suvenirs.
Nw I am lucky enugh t have a full-time jb where I have less time t create. But I’ll never give it up since it is creating jewelry that reminds me f my passin as an artist.

I was beginning t wnder why I had asked them t g thrugh my stuff and take what they wanted. But sn I became like a sales assistant. I recmmended nvels, waved tys at babies, and brught ut clthes fr peple t try n.
Nw I am sitting in a flat n the ther side f the wrld. I feel very far frm my hme, and frm my stuff. That list I made f the things I want back? I’m nt sure hw much I’ll need it. S far, I haven’t missed any f my pictures, r thse memrable things. Instead, I’ve missed my family, my friends, and my city.
My “share-cycling” plan ties me back t them. A friend tk my tent t a music festival. And my favurite picture ended up n the wall f my best friend’s flat. This is what gives me a-real-buzz:the thught f all my bits and pieces in my friends’ lives, a physical reminder f ur ties. It’s like I’ve pressed “pause” n my city life rather than “stp”, making the mve easier.

As we all knw, trees are always statinary: they stay mre r less where yu plant them, and n ne wrries abut finding a tree wandering arund a park r back yard.
Hwever, there is ne special exceptin, sme say: the s-called walking palm tree (棕桐树) was fund in the rainfrests f Central and Suth America. Many peple believe it can really walk arund. This is because f its unusual rt system: while mst trees have ne trunk, the palm breaks int many smaller rts a few feet ff the grund, giving it the appearance f many little legs.
The amazing walking ability f the palm tree has always been tld by rainfrest guides t turists fr years, and appears in many surces f dcuments as an amazing plant adaptatin. As jurnalist Sherry Seethaler writes in her bk Curius Flks Ask 2: “Screen writers searching fr the perfect B-mvie (小成本电影) plant her culd take inspiratin frm the walking palm. The tree slwly walks frm shade t sunlight by grwing new rts tward the light.”
A tree that walks in search f the sun is a fascinating, strange stry. And it’s nt true either; the tree is real enugh, but it desn’t walk. It sits where it began t grw, nt mving except under the frce f wind r an axe.
Bilgist Gerard Avals is ne f the wrld’s tp experts n the palm tree. His analysis f the plant and its rts shws that the walking tree can’t walk because its rts dn’t mve. A few rts n ne side r anther may die ff, but the trunk itself remains, well, rted t the spt.
“My paper prves that the belief f the walking palm is just a myth,” Avals said. “Thinking that a palm tree culd actually track the sunlight changes by mving slwly ver the frest flr… is a myth that turist guides find amusing t tell visitrs t the rainfrest.”
33. What is the reasn fr n ne wrries abut wandering trees?
A. Trees are nt always standing.B. Trees are nt always mving.
C. Trees are nt always grwing.D. Trees are nt always dying.
34. Why d peple think the palm tree can walk arund?
A. It has n rts undergrund.B. It appears t have several trunks.
C. It grws a few feet ff the grund.D. It appears t have many little legs.
35. What can we learn abut the palm tree frm the passage?
A. It wanders arund the rainfrest at night.
B. It grws in Central and Nrth America.
C. It is a ppular attractin amng visitrs.
D. It grws well in the shade f the rainfrests.
36. What des bilgist Gerard Avals believe?
A. The palm tree cannt actually walk at all.B. The palm tree can mve its rts.
C. The palm tree can track the sunlight.D. The palm tree cannt keep its trunk grwing.

As an art graduate, I have always cnsidered myself an artist.Hwever, my jurney as a jewelry maker began with an earring-making experience during the pandemic when businesses were shutting dwn.

Nw I am lucky enugh t have a full-time jb where I have less time t create. But I’ll never give it up since it is creating jewelry that reminds me f my passin as an artist.
