Shortly after I graduated from college, I moved to a new state to start a full-time job. One day at work, I found myself wanting to go traveling. Once I’d saved up enough money, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to travel by myself for the first time in my life. So I quickly started doing research on where I’d like to go.

I had never traveled alone before, so I decided to sign up for a guided group that was going to Thailand. This gave me a sense of security (安全). It felt like a great way not only to try being alone and meeting strangers but also doing something that sounded really fun for two weeks.

The Thailand trip forced me out of so many comfort zones (舒适区) that ended up being one of the big turning points of my life. The time I spent in Thailand finding my way around airports and taxis alone, meeting a group of strangers, and doing rock climbing with them in often remote parts of the country, ended up being one of the greatest experiences of my life. Up until this point I had always been shy and very careful to avoid danger and mistakes, but this travel experience inspired me to become different. It showed me a brave, strong, and independent side of myself that went on to influence my life greatly when I returned home.

When I got back, I pretty much dedicated my life to spending as much time as possible doing activities like climbing, hiking, or backpacking especially things that I once thought I wasn’t “capable of” or was “too scared of”. Today, about 6 years later, I’m an outdoor empowerment coach and backpacking educator.

My trip to Thailand was just what I needed to make that change. It showed me what was possible. It changed the path of my life.

24．Why was the author’s trip to Thailand special?

A．Because it was planned all by himself.           B．Because it was his first trip after college.

C．Because it was achieved by quitting his job.       D．Because it was the first time he had traveled alone.

25．What can we learn about the author’s trip?

A．It was a guided trip.         B．It was free of charge.

C．It was about 6 weeks long.                   D．It was designed for young travelers.

26．What did the author do during the trip?

A．He learned to drive.                        B．He practiced rock climbing.

C．He explored many remote areas alone.         D．He met his best friend for the first time.

27．How has the author changed after the trip?

A．He made friends more easily.                B．He fell in love with traveling.

C．He became a brave outdoor type.        D．He started staying away from danger.

C

     A recent study conducted by Gavin Sandercock at the University of Essex in the UK and his colleagues shows just one in 20 people aged 18 to 64 in England are meeting England’s strictest weekly strength training guidelines. Strength training is defined as any activities that strengthens muscles or bone, says Sandercock. This can include lifting weights, body weight exercises and fitness plans.

The teams looked at survey data from over 275,000 adults in this age group. Between 2015 and 2017, these people were asked to estimate how much time they spend doing physical activity each week. They wanted to find out what proportion of these adults in England met the UK’s weekly health guidelines, which recommend 150 minutes of moderate activity a week.

The researchers found that on average just 5 percent of these adults in England met the full recommendation, including strength training. They also found that men were more likely to meet all the guidelines as well as younger age groups. “But the strongest effect that we found when we looked at the variables was education,” Sandercock says.

“ There are two main reasons why this could be the case,” Sandercock says. “ People who are more educated may be more likely to know what the UK’s recommended health advice is. On the other hand, it could be that strength training——especially lifting weights——often requires access to a gym which costs money. Higher levels of education have been linked to greater wealth,” he says.

“ To encourage greater participation in strength training, I believe we need to raise awareness about its multiple benefits. And we need to stress that strength training is relevant to health and fitness across all age groups and not just for young males. Anyway, there’s still a long way to go.” says Anne Tidedmann at the University of Sydney.

28. What does the study show about the adults in England?

A.They lack strength training.                B. They attach importance to diet. 

C.They watch their weight.                  D. They have strict fitness plans.

29. What do we know about the UK’s weekly health guidelines?

A.They are aimed at male athletes.             B. They have a standard for exercise time.

C.They include some mental activities.          D. They only apply to healthy people.

30. Why does Sandercock talk about education?

A.It enriches knowledge on health.              B. It makes a person become wealthy.

C.It affects strength training greatly.             D. It contributes to one’s wisdom.

31. What can we infer about the work of popularizing strength training?

1. It takes less time.                      B. It needs great efforts.

C. It makes mo difference.                  D. It gets wide support.

D

Around two-thirds of the world’s population will face at least one month of water shortages by 2050, according to a new report on how climate change is affecting the world’s water resources.

     The report from WMO(世界气候组织）,released Tuesday, includes predictions about river flows, floods and droughts on every continent. It warned that some places, such as Brazil’s Rio Sao Francisco basin, face a challenging future because of the continuous droughts. However, others, including the Great Lakes region of the United States, are in better shape. There will be losers and winners, the authors wrote, though, “Overall, the negative trends are stronger than the positive ones.”

     Researchers also said rapid snow melt in high-altitude regions has “a great impact” on global water security. The heavy use of groundwater for irrigation, a problem worsened by droughts, also affects global water security

     “ The impacts of climate change are often felt through water---more severe and frequent droughts, and more extreme flooding. They have great effects on economy, ecosystem and all aspects of our daily lives,” WMO Secretary-General Taalas said.

     “ There isn’t enough understanding of changes in the distribution(分布），quantity, and quality of freshwater resources. The 36-page report will fill that knowledge gap and provide an outline of water availability in different parts of the world,” another official said. The findings will guide investments on climate adaptation. Besides, it will also give information to the United Nations’ campaign to provide access to early risk warning system for climate disasters.

     “Between 2001 and 2018, the United Nations reported that 74 percent of all natural disasters were water-related. This motivates participants at the recent U.N. climate conference to further add water into adaptation efforts. This report will be a great help,” added the official.

32. What is the main finding of the report?

1. Continuous floods have put Brazil at risk.
2. The use of groundwater has worsened droughts.
3. The world water security has become unbalanced.
4. Every continent is suffering from natural disasters.

33. What is Taalas’s attitude to global water security?

1. Concerned.        B. Optimistic.         C. Critical.          D.Tolerant.

34. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?

A.The content of the report.               B. The purpose of the report.

C.The background of the report.            D. The significance of the report.

35. Why did the author write this text?

    A. To call on people to save water.         

B. To explain reasons for climate disasters.

C. To present a report on global water security.

D. To compare water resources in different places.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I have the same 24 hours in a day as you do, but I have made specific choices that allow me to make the most of every day, and still feel happy and relaxed.   36 

· Pick the most important.

  37   Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive. I chose the life of an adviser because I like to work with companies, but don’t want the life of a big company CEO. My choices are based on the lifestyle I want.

· Combine your activities.

Many people go crazy trying to figure out how to spend time with friends, family, work, play, etc.   38   Find ways to enjoy them in a combined manner. Build your social life around people in your work environment. Find people in your company who share common interests and develop your career (职业) around the people and activities you love.

·   39 

You would think learning takes more time from you, but actually there are always new ways of doing things that can save you time on daily tasks, freeing you up for the most important. Always be looking for a new way to gain back an hour here or there.

· Lighten up.

The world won’t come to an end in most cases just because you left a few things undone. Celebrate progress and keep refining (改进) toward a happy productive existence.   40   Every completion is a small victory that adds up in a big way.
