A

On today’s blog post, I’ll be talking about my favorite magazines. I love reading books & magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about healthy living, daily life, etc.

Women’s Health

Women’s Health has a unique content. You can find various interesting information about healthy living or exercises you can do at home. I also love their writers because they explain every topic so clearly that you can even understand biological articles.

Healthy Food Guide

I totally recommend it to everyone because it has lots of useful information about being healthy during your daily life. In this magazine, you can find articles about foods you often eat but don’t have much idea what it contains or if they’re healthy. If you are searching for new diets, this magazine gives you all the information.

Time Out

Time Out is a well-known magazine and it’s free in my city. Every time I see a Time Out magazine, I get it because it has lots of useful tips. I got Time Out London when I was in London, and I discovered new restaurants, galleries, museums, and events. This magazine has various information about the city life. For example, it gives you the events that are happening near you. It gives you tips for the railway stations and other transportation choices.

La Cucina Italiana

If you love cooking Italian food, this magazine is for you! It has lots of recipes and also restaurant reviews. You can also find popular restaurants near you in this magazine. I’ve also read articles by famous chefs from my city.

1. What can we find in Healthy Food Guide?

A. Tips on cooking. B. Ways to keep fit.

C. Different eating habits. D. Information of new restaurants.

2. What can we read to find comments on restaurants?

A. Women’s Health. B. Healthy Food Guide.

C. Time Out. D. La Cucina Italiana.

3. What can we learn about the author?

A. He lives in London. B. He loves and enjoys life.

C. He often goes travelling.  D. He likes collecting recipes. B

“I’ve done such a good job of pretending to be an outgoing person that friends and

family are shocked when I tell them I’m not.” Ever since she was a teen, Amanda would adopt the behaviours of the people around her to fit in, while hiding her true personality. And sometimes it was hard to tell who was actually the real Amanda.

This is Social Masking, the process of covering your natural way of interacting with others so you can feel accepted. Social Maskers aren’t trying to cheat anyone; rather, they are hoping to blend in with everybody else. “Social Masking is a learned set of pattern-matching behaviours, movements and actions where you follow other’s suit to fit in rather than stand out,” explains psychotherapist Dipti Tait.

In a world that often tells us to just be ourselves, you might wonder why many of us rely on these Social Masking behaviours. “Social Masking happens because we want to fit in,” says Tait. The mask is a protection against our self-doubt. However, according to psychologist Quinn-Cirillo, social media may have made it even harder to be ourselves. She notes that it gives us set images and videos that make us believe this is how we should be. It strengthens the belief that you are not good enough as you are and break down your confidence over time. The more Amanda masked, the more she would lose faith.

So how can you break the cycle? Getting rid of the mask involves working to improve your self-worth, self-belief and self-respect. Once you hear those damaging thoughts that tell you it’s not OK to be yourself, take action and stop it. Doing this repeatedly over a period gives those self-defeating thoughts less power and improves your self-belief.

4. Why does the author mention Amanda in Paragraph 1?
   1. To provide background information.

 

2. To give an example of a Social Masker.
3. To introduce the topic of Social Masking.
4. To tell the story of Amanda, who hides her true personality.

5. What can replace the underlined words “blend in” in Paragraph 2?

A. Get along. B. Come along. C. Put up. D. Break up.

6. What is Quinn-Cirillo’s attitude to Social Masking?

A. Unconcerned. B. Approving. C. Objective. D. Negative.

7. What is the author’s advice on removing social masks?

A. Regaining confidence. B. Doing exercise regularly.

C. Turning to a professional.  D. Engaging in social activities. C

When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly

replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/ Chinese/ etc.” But this kind of misses the point.

More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice ( 偏见). Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!

Every person speaks a dialect, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?

We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone.

Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct ( 明 显 的 ) part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.

8. What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1?

A. It reflects their language levels. B. It reflects their self confidence.

C. It misses the real meaning of accents. D. It misses the point of communication.

9. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?

A. To justify the use of dialects. B. To show the diversity of dialects.

C. To correct a grammatical mistake. D. To highlight a traditional approach.

10. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph?
    1. Learn to speak with your local dialect.
    2. Seek for an official definition of accents.
    3. Distinguish our local languages from others’.
    4. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.
11. What can be a suitable title for this passage?

A. Everyone Has an Accent B. Standard English Is at Risk

C. Accents Enhance Our Identities D. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding

In the office of remote sensing scientist Liu Shaochuang, there is a huge photograph of a camel he photographed a decade ago in Xinjiang. He waited for hours by a pool of water in the Gobi Desert to capture the image.

Since 2012, he has led a team in tracking and studying wild camels using satellite remote sensing technology.

Unlike zoologists who focus on species, Liu has studied the interrelationship between endangered animals and their environment, which he believes will help develop better protection strategies (策略) in the face of climate change.

His interest in wild camels began when his team tested a prototype (雏形) design of

the lunar rover Yutu in the desert. Living in the harsh deserts in northwestern China and southwestern   Mongolia,  camels   are   listed  as   critically  endangered   animals. Experts
