Have yu wndered hw lng wuld the trip frm Amsterdam t Shanghai take by bike? Ole Buman, a Dutch-German histrian, writer and phtgrapher and nw a prfessr at Tngji University in Shanghai, has the answer—156 days.
This jurney wasn’t a whim. It was a lng-held idea that became increasingly clear and defined as Buman started making physical, mental, and financial preparatins, “I’ve had the strng curisity t learn mre abut the East since the 1990s. As a cultural histrian, I wuld like t knw mre abut the relatinship and intercnnectin between the East and the West,” said Burman.
Setting ff frm Amsterdam, Buman faced unexpected challenges and deep thinking. Every day, he rde tward different destinatins. A 45-kilgram bag and an 18-kilgram bike were all that carried him n the 10,756-kilmeter jurney thrugh 18 cuntries and regins with 16 different languages, as well as mre than 500 histrical sites. Alng the way, he crssed abut 300 rivers, climbed ver 100 muntains, and tried t find a rad that was nt s smth t gain new experiences, mapping an adventure filled with discveries abut peple, cultures, stries, understanding, and cnnectin.
Cycling frm the West t the East and recrding thusands f memrable mments, Buman became mre certain that his jurney was mre abut the cmmn grund we shared—the peace—rather than the differences. “Frm the West t the East, there are big changes in cultures, landscapes, literature, etc. But while pursuing (追求) changes and interacting with rdinary peple, I becme aware that peple are pursuing a similar kind f nrmal life and persnal happiness.”
Buman has lived in China fr arund 10 years since he cycled t Shanghai and has been attracted by the whle histry behind the new wrld. Nw he is the funding directr f the Design Sciety, a cultural exchange platfrm, whse gal is t push the yung generatin t kick ff their wn jurney and encurage them t get clse t the truth and reality by making physical effrts.

As the new year appraches, crwds arund the wrld may expect clrful firewrks t light up the sky with bright flashes and lud bms. Hwever, the attractin f firewrks culd fade away with the grwing use f drnes (无人机) fr light shws.
Ollie Hwitt, a leader f ne f the wrld’s leading drne light shw cmpanies, which used a team f 300 drnes t put n a display fr Lndn’s new year celebratin last year, said that demand fr drne shws had increased greatly. “We d believe these shws will gain wider ppularity, instead f just being a shrt-lived kind f fashin. Drnes are reusable and leave n harmful waste after use. In that sense, they becme a gd and ec-friendly chice,” she explained.
But nt everyne agrees. A spkespersn frm the British Firewrks Assciatin warned that drnes culd als cause envirnmental prblems. “Suggestins are that drnes have less impact n the envirnment, but we have serius cncerns abut electrical demand and use f lithium batteries (锂电池) which are knwn nt t be all that green,” they said.
An RSPCA spkespersn als mentined that while drnes were a pssible idea t try t reduce the impact f displays n animals, there were prblems. Drnes are nt withut their wn negative issues such as scaring hrses r crashing int birds, and may bther animals and members f the public. Therefre, it’s imprtant t carefully cnsider their pssible effects and take prper measures t reduce the chance f accidents.
Sme express the pinin that firewrks and drnes dn’t exclude each ther. The sight, sund and gunpwder smell f firewrks will always prvide its wn unique thrill.
“We find firewrks wrk really well when teamed up with drnes. But we dn’t really see it as a ne-replacing-the-ther at all. We feel as if it’s just anther tl fr hw yu enliven the sky and what yu want t d with the shw yu’re putting n,” said Hwitt, nting that while firewrks give a lud, emtive and big perfrmance, drnes ffer the chance t tell stries in the sky by using a series f images.
28. What des Hwitt think a drne display in paragraph 2?
A. It’s definitely an upward trend.B. It’ll get us t reflect n energy crisis.
C. It’s a shrt-term fashin.D. It’ll excite the public curisity abut science.
29. Which f the fllwing is nt the prblem f using drnes fr light shws cmpared with firewrks?
A. Using high electricity.B. Causing truble t the public.
C. Wrseningenvirnmental prblems.D. Bthering animals like hrses and birds.
30. Which f the fllwing may Hwitt suggest accrding t the last paragraph?
A. Prmting the prductin f drnes.B. Diversifying the functins f drnes.
C. Limiting the displays f firewrks.D. Staging drne shws as anther chice.
31. In which part f a website can we read this text?
A. Health.B. Business.C. Envirnment.D. Advertisement.

We are what we eat. Frm high-calrie meals t lw-fat lunches, much f ur health depends n what we eat. We knw abut the benefits f eating prperly fr ur physical well-being, but cking fd is turning ut t be gd fr ur mental well-being as well.

It is a prcess that really increase yur level f life satisfactin.
Certainly, creating sme delicius fd has helped sme f us get thrugh the recent lckdwn (禁闭); it’s helped take ur mind ff things and given us smething t d. Peple have said that kneading dugh (面团) t make bread, fr example, has given them a sense f calm and cntrl. Research has shwn that ding creative tasks, like cking, makes us feel happier.
Nicle Farmer, wh studies hw fd influences ur bilgy, behavir and mental health, said that baking is an imprtant tl fr ur scializatin and mental health. She thinks that cking gives yu the pprtunity t ck fr thers,in turn, prviding the pprtunity t imprve and build relatinships. It is a rewarding experience.
Hpefully, as we start t mix with friends and family again, we can enjy the benefits nce mre and put us all in the right state f mind.
32. Why des the authr mentin Salter’s wrds in the secnd paragraph?
A. T supprt his idea.B. T explain a medical term.
C. T warn us abut mental illness.D. T shw his admiratin fr Salter.
33. Why did peple feel calm and in cntrl when kneading dugh?
