Four of the best British foodie gatherings
Scottish Wild Food Festival
If you’ve wondered if anything in there would make a tasty soup, then the Scottish Wild Food
Festival (adult £16, child 5-13 £2, family £30) should be in your calendar. The festival focuses on
the local, in-season and kind to the planet. Hosted at Tír Na Nóg, six miles east of the West
Highland Way, the weekend makes a great start (or end) to a hike.
Ludlow Castle Food Festival
The lovely setting of Ludlow Castle is a great place for a food festival (adult £10, child 5-13
£4, family £26). It is a real treat in many ways. There are over 100 stalls (摊位) selling samples of
country fare such as Hereford beef pie to all comers. A cheese-rolling game down the castle
mound (堤) was great fun. Plus there are bands and poetry readings with food themes, too.
Sheffield Food Festival
Sheffield Food Festival (free) is held each June in the city centre. Local vendors (摊主) have
everything on offer from Caribbean fusion dishes to speciality focaccia. Heeley City Farm, a
charitable city centre farm, is my favourite producer with its organic produce and focus on
sustainability. There is, of course, plenty of craft beer, too.
Bolton Food & Drink Festival

At Christmas last year, Cathy Wood’s family home in Manchester was disturbingly quiet. Her
daughters, 19 and 21, were revising for exams. She says she and her husband “hardly saw
anything of them … I was a bit fed up.” Bored and frustrated, she bought a 45kg bunch of
secondhand clothes, without knowing what she was going to do with it.
Wood, a former teacher of English, has always loved clothes. At university, Wood hung out
with the fashion students and sewed her own new romantic outfits. Wood, now 62, enjoyed
shopping for vintage (老款) clothing and had even discussed getting a shop with a friend, but the
rents put them off. A week or so after the bunch arrived, she booked a stall (货摊 ) at West
Didsbury Makers Market.
Standing at her first market stall was a wholly new experience though. “It was very different
from teaching. You need just the right amount of contact with people.” Wood sold four pieces at
her first market, which paid for the stall and left a small surplus (盈余). Now, she sometimes
returns home with 30 empty coat hangers. But it was the contact with customers and fellow traders
that she found most rewarding. “It’s a lovely environment. You chat and get to know each other. I
really enjoyed it.” she says.
Sometimes, in quiet moments on the stall, she takes out her mending and thinks of her mother
and grandmother. “My grandmother taught art and crafts, and both she and my mother spent a lot
of time with the sewing machine, teaching me to sew,” “What these clothes do is transport me
back to different times when things were easier for me. They give me a pleasurable feeling.
Nostalgia (怀旧) can be a good thing in that way.”
After she stopped teaching, she “started to feel like a non person”, she says. The market stall
“has given me status in my own mind to be part of the community, contributing something, to be
somebody people talk to, somebody people smile at.”

D. It has made her community much richer.

The arrival of spring has seemingly unchangeable results–lengthening days, blossoming plants
and a great increase in bees’ activity. But new research finds that many species of birds are nesting
and laying eggs nearly a month earlier than they did a century ago.
These species, including bluejays, yellow warblers and field sparrows, are now laying their
first eggs 25 days earlier, on average, than they were 100 years ago, the research has found. The
heating of the atmosphere, due to the burning of fossil fuels, is seemingly changing a process that
long appeared unshakeable.
The study, published in the Journal of Animal Ecology, drew upon records of birds’ eggs
gathered during a period, from about 1880 to 1920, when people could rampantly (猖獗的) collect
them from nests without punishment. These records, largely consisting of boxes of eggs with
hand-written labels describing the type of bird and when the eggs were collected, were compared
with modern nesting data checked by researchers who used mirrors mounted on long poles to
observe high-up nests.
A model built by the researchers revealed that birds moving their nesting dates forward has
been closely correlated with rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, a leading driver of
rising global temperatures.
Birds choose when to nest in line with other developments in spring, such as the budding (发
芽) of plants and the increase in insect numbers. These interactions of nature are being unpicked
by climate change – in the US bears are emerging from hibernation earlier and cherry, peach, pear,
apple and plum trees are blossoming weeks earlier than they once did. In the UK, plants flowered
a full month earlier between 1987 and 2019 than they did before 1986, recent research found.
“If you’re a bird and you nest earlier, you put yourself at risk of these cold snaps (寒流) that
can still arrive in spring, which then affects the plants and insects,” said Bates. “That then impacts
the reproductive success of the birds. Springs are becoming more volatile (反复无常 ) and that is
taking its toll.”

28. What might be responsible for the birds’earlier nest and laying eggs?
A. Lengthening spring days.
B. Global warming.
C. Blossoming plants.
D. The increase in bees’ activity.
29. How did the researchers get their finding?
A. By referring to previous researches.
B. By monitoring birds’behaviour.
C. By investigating birds’habitats.
D. By comparing data from different periods.
30. Why are bears and plants mentioned in Para.6?
A. To explain a rule.
B. To clarify a concept.
D. To make a prediction.
C. To prove a statement.
31. What does the underlined phrase “taking its toll” in the last paragraph mean?

B. Shaping landscape.
C. Receiving attention.
D. Causing loss.

It has happened to us all: sitting on the sofa, toying with the idea of sending an old friend an
unexpected text, but worrying that a message out of the blue may seem unusual or just
unwelcome.
However, research suggests such fears are unfounded, with those on the receiving end often
far more grateful than the sender may expect.
Dr Peggy Liu, the lead author of the research said the team began their research because they
felt a lot of people were losing touch with each other. “We wondered why that might be,” she said.
Liu and her colleagues conducted a series of experiments, based on hypothetical (虚构的 )
and real-life plots, involving more than 5,900 participants. In one experiment, 54 participants
wrote a note to a fellow college student they hadn’t been in touch for a while. This note was
emailed to the latter by the researchers, who asked both the writer and recipient to indicate how
much they felt the message was appreciated.
The results show that on average senders rated recipients’ (接收者) appreciation at 5.57 on a
seven-point scale, while the recipients themselves rated their appreciation at 6.17. The team said
this and other experiments revealed that people receiving messages appreciate them significantly
more than the sender tends to expect.
But Liu said questions remained. “While we show that people typically underestimate how
much others appreciate being reached out to, it remains an outstanding question how we can
actually motivate people to reach out to others more,” she said. “That’s what we’re going to do
next.”
Stephen Reicher, a professor of social psychology at the University of St Andrews, said the
results made sense. “If the pandemic (疫情爆发) has taught us anything, it is that we have a
pandemic of loneliness causing massive harm and we need to address it urgently as a matter of
public health,” “Feeling connected to others has consistently been shown to be good for our
physical and mental health. Such connections can be remarkably effective in everything from
protecting against depression to recovery from heart attacks,” he said, adding that simply feeling
part of a group was equally effective.

32. What does Liu’s research want to find out?
A. How people are overcoming fears of contacting friends.
B. Why people are getting disconnected with each other.
C. When people can send texts to rebuild an old friendship.
D. Whether people should send friends an unexpected text.
33. What aspect of the research does Para.4 mainly talk about?
A. Its design.
B. Its impact.
D. Its theory.
C. Its process.
34. What will the researchers do next?
A. Find ways to connect people.
B. Increase trust between people.
C. Shape people’s perception of friends.
D. Call on people to appreciate friendship.
35. What message does Stephen Reicher want to convey?
A. The pandemic is to blame for mental illness.
B. Reaching out to others is beneficial to health.
C. Joining a group is preferable to getting connected.
D. The authorities should address loneliness urgently.

When you look for a new role, don’t start by updating your CV.
36
Doing this will help
you provide valuable content for your CV and interviews. So how do you go about conducting a
careers self-assessment?
Assess your skills
Think about the skills that are required to do your job effectively.
37
What do you do
especially well and which skills do you enjoy using? Now think of two or three examples where
you demonstrated each skill in action. If you look closely, you will usually find that within each

Candidates often underestimate their knowledge and how it can be of use to an employer.
This could range from applied technical know-how, to knowledge about a particular product,
service, sector or type of customer. Are you up to date with the level of understanding required for
your next role? If not, make this an immediate goal.
Can you add value?
How have you helped your organization generate income, reduce costs, solve problems and
improve the quality of its service? Your contribution may have been as an individual or as part of a
team, but include it all. Do you have access to people, information and resources that could be of
benefit to a potential employer?
39
What do you want?
This will include the salary level, of course, but what else is important to you? How do you
want your next job to be different from your current one? 40 Write down your wish list and
prioritize it so that you have your decision criteria for considering future opportunities.
Once your assessment is completed, you should have a much more detailed idea about what it
is you have to offer prospective employers and you can now start writing your CV.

I was backpacking in Panama over Christmas in 2018, and planned to climb Volcán Barú. It
is one of the only places on earth from where you can see the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans at
the same time.
I set off before sunrise. It was a bit cold, so I had pulled on leggings under my trousers. I’ve
always felt safe travelling as a solo (单独) woman. I love the freedom. When I got to the base at
7am, the ranger (护林员) was unwilling to let me go alone, but relented (缓和) because an
American couple were behind me.
The first part of the climb was beautiful. I walked for an hour and had reached a fair height.
The views were impressive, so I stopped to take a photograph. Suddenly I heard violent barking
behind me.
I turned and saw two dogs running aggressively towards me. I could see their teeth looked
sharp, and they looked angry. There was nowhere for me to run. I tried to keep calm, but my heart
was racing. They stopped a dozen feet from where I stood and kept barking. I knew they could
move fast, so I didn’t want to try to outrun them.
I kept walking, saying, “Good dog, calm down,” as evenly as possible. But I was terrified.
Then one dashed up and sunk his teeth into my leg below the knee. I was shocked. He held on for
a few seconds. The pain took my breath away as I felt his fangs (犬牙) in my flesh. I considered
bending down to get a rock to fight him off, but was nervous in case he went for my neck or the
other one launched at me.
I tried to keep walking, and he finally let go. Then he was behind me, growling (嗥叫). I kept
going, my body shaking, until after about 15 minutes I was out of their sight.
.
When I thought it was safe, I stopped.
A pickup truck appeared, driven by the ranger.
