Lcated in the middle f Turkey, the Cappadcia regin is visited by millins f turists each year wh g fr its vlcanic rck frmatins, clrful cliffs and valleys, and ancient buildings carved int the rck. Here are sme f the best things t d if yu are visiting Cappadcia.
Ht air balln ride
Perhaps ne f the best ways t see Cappadcia’s landscape is frm the sky.

Explring undergrund cities
Cappadcia is als knwn fr the 200 r mre undergrund cities carved int its sft vlcanic rck. The largest f these cities, Derinkuyu, has 18 levels f tunnels and culd be ver 3,000 years ld. Rediscvered in the 1960s, it is ne f several undergrund cities in the area that are nw pen t the public.

I have never understd why we keep a garden and why years ag when I bught my first huse, I started digging up a small land fr vegetables befre ding anything else. It is s easy and cheap t buy carrts; why raise them? When April cmes, I always find myself lking at that miserable land, reslving nt t plant it again. But unavidably a mrning arrives when, just as I am awakening, a refreshing scent, as if frm the very center f this planet, cmes thrugh the windw. And the sun suddenly, seems t have a different, deeper yellw in its light n the carpet.
It is nt nly pleasure sending me back t stare at that plt f sil, it is real cnflict. The questin is the same each year—what methd shuld we use? The last few years we put black plastic between the rws, and it wrked perfectly. But plastic lks s industrial, s unrmantic, that I have gradually mved ver t hay. We cut a lt f hay and it des imprve the sil. Besides, it lks lvely and cmes t us free.
The attractins f gardening, I think, at least fr sme gardeners, are mral. Whenever life seems pintless and difficult t grasp, yu can always get ut in the garden and get smething dne. Als, yur parental instinct cmes int play because helpless living things are depending n yu, requiring training and prtectin frm enemies. In sme cases, as with beans and cucumbers, yur children—as it were, begin t turn upn n yu in great numbers, grwing mre and mre each mrning and threatening t fllw yu int the huse.
24. What can we infer abut the authr frm the first paragraph?

B. He always makes decisins in April.

26. Why des the authr say the attractins f gardening are mral?
A. Gardening requires wisdm.
B. Gardening ffers mral advice.
C. Gardening imprves parenting.
D. Gardening brings spiritual cntent.
27. What is the best title fr the text?
A. T Garden r NtB. What I Garden fr

In 1950, less than 1 percent f the UK ppulatin was t fat. Tday, that figure stands at 28 percent. Hw did this happen? Did the British public suffer an extremely large breakdwn f willpwer? Of curse nt. Humans haven’t changed. The fd system has.
Many peple find it hard t imagine that a fd “system” really exists, nt t mentin that it culd be shaping their wn eating habits. Let’s start with ne imprtant element: the human appetite (食欲). Bilgically, we are still hunter-gatherers. If yu have t search fr yur fd, it makes sense t priritize things that will give yu mre calries (卡路里) than yu use. When we eat sweet, fatty fds, ur bdies respnd with great pleasure t reward us fr finding such a surce f energy.
It used t be hard wrk t find this kind f fd. But in the secnd half f the 20th century, new methds f farming and prducing greatly increased glbal fd prductin. Since this “green revlutin” in agriculture, fd with high calries has becme s cheap and it is hard t avid eating it. Cmpanies put much mney int develping and prmting fd made frm these ingredients (成分). They trap us in fd like biscuits and cakes, knwing we find it attractive. This kind f fd cntains little water r fibre, s it takes lnger fr us t feel full. As a result, we eat mre f it and, because each muthful is full f calries, it makes us fat and ill.
There are, hwever, tw ways t escape this trap. The first is t rebalance the financial encuragement in the system. The secnd is t target human bilgy. A new kind f weight-lss drug is prving effective at cntrlling ur increased appetite. Such drugs can be a gdsend fr the extremely fat. Hwever, it is the fd system that is making us ill, and it is the fd system that needs curing.
28. What can yu learn frm Paragraph 1?
A. The British are lsing their willpwer.
B. Humans have never changed since 1950.
C. Britain’s ppulatin has been changing.
D. A grwing number f British are verweight.
29. What des the underlined wrd “priritize” prbably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Prefer.B. Remember.C. Plant.D. Avid.
30. What has made fd with high calries cheaply available?
A. The effrt f fd cmpanies.
B. The gd taste f sweet and fatty fds.
C. The applicatin f new means f farming and prducing.
D. The drive t change the supply and demand f green agriculture.
31. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Less fatty fds have been prduced.
B. The fd system needs t be changed.
C. Peple’s increased appetite has been cured.
D. The weight-lss drug has changed human bilgy.

D
Lately, there has been a lt f discussin amng parents, educatrs, and within the cmmunity that reading is a lst art. We hear peple crying that bks are dead r that technlgy is changing hw we get ur infrmatin. Thankfully, hwever, bk sales are rebunding(回升) and literature is far frm dead. That’s great news, because science has prven that there are many ways that reading is beneficial t ur lives and brain develpment.
The benefits f reading range anywhere frm reducing stress, t develping ur brains, t imprving memry, and helping increase emtinal intelligence. Fr parents, this is especially imprtant t nte, because empathy (共情) is amng the five mst imprtant skills fr success fr peple living in a digital and glbal ecnmy. Our kids, wh are digital natives, are ging t be required t explre a wrld that requires them t have emtinal intelligence t succeed.
In additin t helping children develp critical thinking and writing skills, research has lng been telling us that reading fictin can develp empathy and emtinal intelligence. Surprisingly, the actual art f reading isn’t capable f prducing this surprising reactin. Children dn’t develp emtinal understanding by fcusing n mechanics. Instead, there is hard evidence that reading literary fictin imprves emtinal intelligence.
Stries allw readers t bury themselves in the life f anther persn and see the wrld thrugh their eyes. This has always been a gd way t braden a child’s utlk, but nw we actually have the research and science t say it makes us mre empathetic. Fr example, studies published befre uncvered that participants wh read literature with strng characters shwed higher levels f empathy and emtinal intelligence by being able t “feel” the characters. The subjects f these studies were better able t understand thers by empathizing with characters and viewing the wrld in their different ways.
32. What des the authr mainly want t tell us in Paragraph 1?
A. Reading is a lst art.
B. Reading has a great influence n us.
C. Bk sales are ging up again.
D. Technlgy leads t the death f bks.
33. What benefit d children get frm reading?
A. Succeeding in their career.
B. Bringing back their memries.
C. Gaining ppularity in the digital wrld.
D. Enabling them t be emtinally intelligent.
34. What evidence shws reading literary fictin imprves emtinal intelligence?
A. The change f the readers’ values.
B. The readers’ devtin t reading stries.
C. The develpment f the readers’ critical thinking skills.
D. The readers’ ability t understand the characters in stries.
35. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Why Reading Will Never Die
B. Hw Children Develp Gd Reading Habits
C. Hw Reading Imprves Emtinal Intelligence
D. What Parents Can D t Imprve Kids’ Emtinal Intelligence
