Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

I love travelling，but it hasn't always been my passion (酷爱)．In my first year of university，I started to travel during the holidays.During the holidays I went to Pairs and during the spring vacation，I visited Athens and various cities in Italy.I was very excited because this was the first time I had travelled abroad with just my friends.This desire to travel started off simply as a way to have something to look forward to after exams，but I soon discovered how important it is to travel.

On my travels，I have had the opportunity to not only experience new and exciting cultures through the art，history，language and food，but also communicate with people who have different views on life.Travelling is a learning experience for both yourself and the people you meet.Some people I met during my travels had never heard of Gambia and it was very delightful to share my African roots with them.When you travel you will meet people who have different cultural backgrounds，and as a result，sometimes your own ideas and opinions might be challenged.It's important to learn to see things from other people's perspectives(角度) and to challenge your own.

This is how I realize that travelling is the realization of home.When you travel you're exposed to a different setting(背景)，a different language and a different way of living.All these factors，mixed with a new and exciting adventure，make you realize your own home.Not just the physical location of home，but also your way of life and your outlook.

Travelling is truly an enriching experience and I am always excited about the discoveries that await me in my next adventure!

I start my workday early，parking myself in front of my home computer and often forgetting to get up for hours.Sometimes，my dog makes sounds to tell me that he wants to go outside.But one thing I try to do every day is take a walk around midday.Even if it's just 10 minutes，the dog and I go for a quick walk to burn off some of his energy and clear my head.

Walking at lunchtime is a smart thing to do，a new study finds.This doesn't seem like news.After all，we've known forever that doing exercise is good for us.But as The New York Times points out，those fitness studies typically looked at the effects of exercise plans in the long run.This new study looks at changes that happen more quickly，from one day to the next or even from this hour to the next hour.

For the study，researchers gathered a group of mostly sedentary (久坐的) office workers in the UK.All were out of shape，but otherwise emotionally and physically healthy.Researchers asked them to take 30­minute lunchtime walks，three days a week for 10 weeks.The volunteers were also asked to install (安装) apps on their phones，so that the researchers could send the volunteers questions after they walked.Then the researchers used those answers to judge how the volunteers were feeling about life and work，and to measure their feelings about everything from stress and tension to motivation.

When the researchers compared the volunteers'answers on the afternoons when they walked
