For foreign visitors, Morocco in Africa holds an immediate and enduring fascination. Here are some picks to visit.

In the mountain playground of the Anti-Atlas, travelers can exercise by trying new hiking routes and connect with locals who share their timeless valleys with generosity and warmth. Take some time to connect with the local people living in the region. A glimpse into their simple life and down-to-earth way of being is good for your heart.
Marrakesh
The “pink city” is one of Morocco’s must-sees — all your senses come to life here. Feel the city’s charm with the rosy colors of the media wall at sunset and the sweet smell of trees in season. For a touch of desert romance the Agafay Desert and its luxury camping options are within easy reach of Marrakesh, perfect for a night under the stars.
The Sahara Desert
The drive to the Sahara Desert is long, but the emptiness of the Sahara Desert can bring a sense of remoteness that is rare to find these days. Visiting the Moroccan Sahara Desert is an opportunity to disconnect, empty your mind and enjoy being in the middle of nowhere. The wild environment comes to life with a good guide, especially at might when the night sky free of light pollution is filled with stars.
Fez
As the oldest city and study center in Morocco Fez proudly keeps one foot firmly planted in the past where you will get lost making your way through workshops and market stalls. The fantastically preserved ancient ruins and the Kairaouine Library that is among the world’s oldest libraries are worth a visit.
1. What does the trip to the Anti-Atlas feature?
A. The foreign too a and drink.
B. The enjoyment of the urban life.
C. The physical and spiritual experience.
D. The gift-sharing events in the mountain playground.

B. Enjoy the mountainous lifestyle.
C. Sec the scenery of plentiful valleys and runs.

Tokyo restaurant Sushiya no Nohachi reportedly serves great sushi, but it is most famous for its gimmick — making the world’s smallest sushi with a single grain of rice.
Located in Asakusa, a slightly quieter part of Tokyo, Sushiya no Nohach is the place to go if you want to enjoy the tiniest and most adorable sushi in the world. Each piece is made with only a grain of rice and a tiny slice of topping wrapped in the thinnest piece of nori (海苔). Every served piece is actually perfect, which hints at the amount of work and patience that goes into making them. They are the work of Hironori Ikeno, the chef of Sushiya no Nohachi, who came up with the idea in 2002 when a client asked him how small he could make his sushi. He answered, “It is as small as a grain of rice”, and proceeded to demonstrate that he wasn’t kidding. Years later, the restaurant became internationally famous for making the world’s smallest sushi.
Despite its size, miniature sushi actually takes a bit longer to make than regular-sized Ones, because of the precision and concentration required to put the tiny ingredients together. That is part of the reason why the restaurant only prepares tiny sushi for customers a few times a week and no more than five times a day, although they do sometimes make exceptions for foreign visitors who travel to the restaurant just to experience the world’s smallest sushi.
“I had a client from Sweden who came just to see my tiny sushi and the moment she saw it, she literally cried with joy,” Hironori Mheno said.
Interestingly, one cannot simply order the tiny sushi at the restaurant. It is served for free upon request with a regular-sized sushi course. Considering the sushi served at this place is reportedly delicious, you should probably be more excited about that. Plus, it also justifies the gimmick that the restaurant is so famous for.
4. What does the underlined word “gimmick” in paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. A plan to promote the sushi. B. A trick to attract customers.
C. A dish to win over opponents. D. A class to teach cooking skills.
5. What made Hironori Ixeno start to make the smallest sushi?
A. His pursuit for perfection. B. A bet he made with others.
C. The requirement from his boss. D. The curiosity of a customer.
6. Compared with the regular sushi, the world’s smallest sushi .
A. takes more time to make B. costs more money to buy
C. sells worse among customers D. needs more expensive materials
7. What do Hironor Ikeno’s words about the Swedish customer show?
A. His lack of experience. B. His sense of achievement
C. Diversity of the customers. D. Special treatment to foreigners.
C
Scientists looking to uncover the mysteries of the underwater world have more valuable information thanks to an international team that has produced a list of species confirmed or expected to produce sounds underwater.
Led by Audrey Looby from the University of Florida, the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds working group collaborated with the World Register of Marine Species to document 729 mammals (哺乳动物), fishes, and invertebrates (无脊椎动物) that produce active or passive sounds. In addition, the list includes another 21,911 species that are considered to likely produce sounds.
“With more than 70% of the Earth’s surface covered by water, most of the planet’s habitats are aquatic, and there is a misconception that most aquatic organisms are silent. The newly published comprehensive digital database on what animals are known to make sounds is the first of its kind and can revolutionize marine and aquatic science,” the researchers said.
“Listening to underwater sounds can reveal a lot of information about the species that produce them and is useful for a variety of applications, ranging from fisheries management, invasive species detection to assessing human environmental impacts,” said Looby, who also co-created FishSounds, which offers a collection of fish sound production research records.
The team’s research was published in Scientific Data and involved 19 authors from six countries. “Understanding how marine species interact with their environments is of global importance, and this data being freely available is a major step toward that goal,” said Kieran Cox, a member of the research team.
“Most people are familiar with whale or dolphin sounds but are often surprised to learn that many fishes and invertebrates use sounds to communicate, too,” Looby said. “Our database helps demonstrate how widespread underwater sound production really is across a variety of animals, but we still have a lot to learn.”
8. Why is the data listed in paragraph 2?
A. To show the types of biological sounds.
B. To show the sum of documents on animals.
C. To show the species of underwater animals.
D. To show the number of the sound-producing species.
9. What is people’s misunderstanding according to the text?
A. Many mammals can live in water. B. Most fishes cannot make sounds.
C. Different species can communicate. D. Ocean animals can’t get onto the land.
10. What is the goal mentioned by Kieran Cox?
A. To document ocean animals’ sounds.
B. To set up a free database for scientists.
C. To learn how ocean animals communicate.
D. To publish the team’s research in Scientific Data.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To call on people to protect ocean animals.
B. To introduce the finding of a research team.
C. To list the animals that can produce sounds.
D. To describe the mysterious underwater world.
D
A humanoid robot can relay video and touch sensations to a person wearing a haptic (触觉内) feedback suit and a virtual reality (VR) headset hundreds of kilometres away, offering away for people to attend events without travelling.
The iCub 3 robot is a 52-kilogram, 125-centimetre-tall robot with 54 joints across its body. Its head contains two cameras where a human’s eyes would be, and an Internet-connected computer where the brain would go. Along with the cameras, sensors covering its body send data to the robot’s “brain”. These sensations are then reproduced on a suit and VR headset worn by a remote human operator.
When the operators react to what they see and feel, the suit’s sensors pick up the movements and the robot matches them. “The key is to translate every signal and bit of digital data that can be sent through the network.” says Stefano Dafarra, who was part of the iCub3 team. There can be a small delay of up to 100 milliseconds to capture and transmit the visual shots, but the operator can case this by moving slightly slower than normal.
The team demonstrated the robot at the Venice Biennale, where it wandered through an exhibition while its operator stood 290 kilometres away in Genoa. Dafarra hopes people will use the iCub3 to attend events remotely, reducing the need to travel. “But at present, a fall could be hugely damaging to the robot, and it’s uncertain whether it could stand up again on its own," he says.
“iCub3 is an interesting robot and offers clear advantages from the previous versions.” says Jonathan Aitken, whose laboratory owns a prior version of the robot. However, he is disappointed that the team wasn’t clear in its research about the data transmission requirements of the new version of the robot. “It would be good to know just how much data was required, and what the upper and lower bounds were.” he says.
12. What’s the principle behind the humanoid robot?
A. It conveys sensations to the wearer and acts accordingly.
B. It receives commands from an operator through the Internet.
C. The cameras take pictures and then interact with the sensors.
D. The computer in the robot processes the data and gives orders.
13. Which aspect of life may the technology be applied to?
A. Medical consultation. B. Sports events.
C. Outdoor workouts. D. Virtual tourism.
14. What can we infer about iCub 3 from the text?
A. It fails to appeal to potential investors.
B. Its performance hasn’t been evaluated clearly.
C. Its present version still requires to be updated.
D. Its transmission of data came across technical problems.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Humanoid robots with sense of touch catch on
B. iCub 3 robot combines with VR to benefit more people
C. Humanoid robots let people see and feel things remotely
D New advances in technology enable people to travel at work

The holidays can be a divisive season. Because the holidays are full of merriness, some love them.

I know that it’s wrong to abandon them. But please don’t think poorly of me. I really don t have any other choice. Sincerely, a homeless man, George.”

Tokyo restaurant Sushiya no Nohachi reportedly serves great sushi, but it is most famous for its gimmick — making the world’s smallest sushi with a single grain of rice.
Located in Asakusa, a slightly quieter part of Tokyo, Sushiya no Nohach is the place to go if you want to enjoy the tiniest and most adorable sushi in the world. Each piece is made with only a grain of rice and a tiny slice of topping wrapped in the thinnest piece of nori (海苔). Every served piece is actually perfect, which hints at the amount of work and patience that goes into making them. They are the work of Hironori Ikeno, the chef of Sushiya no Nohachi, who came up with the idea in 2002 when a client asked him how small he could make his sushi. He answered, “It is as small as a grain of rice”, and proceeded to demonstrate that he wasn’t kidding. Years later, the restaurant became internationally famous for making the world’s smallest sushi.
Despite its size, miniature sushi actually takes a bit longer to make than regular-sized Ones, because of the precision and concentration required to put the tiny ingredients together. That is part of the reason why the restaurant only prepares tiny sushi for customers a few times a week and no more than five times a day, although they do sometimes make exceptions for foreign visitors who travel to the restaurant just to experience the world’s smallest sushi.
“I had a client from Sweden who came just to see my tiny sushi and the moment she saw it, she literally cried with joy,” Hironori Mheno said.
Interestingly, one cannot simply order the tiny sushi at the restaurant. It is served for free upon request with a regular-sized sushi course. Considering the sushi served at this place is reportedly delicious, you should probably be more excited about that. Plus, it also justifies the gimmick that the restaurant is so famous for.
4. What does the underlined word “gimmick” in paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. A plan to promote the sushi. B. A trick to attract customers.
C. A dish to win over opponents. D. A class to teach cooking skills.
5. What made Hironori Ixeno start to make the smallest sushi?
A. His pursuit for perfection. B. A bet he made with others.
C. The requirement from his boss. D. The curiosity of a customer.
6. Compared with the regular sushi, the world’s smallest sushi .
A. takes more time to make B. costs more money to buy
C. sells worse among customers D. needs more expensive materials
7. What do Hironor Ikeno’s words about the Swedish customer show?
A. His lack of experience. B. His sense of achievement
C. Diversity of the customers. D. Special treatment to foreigners.
【答案】4 B 5. D 6. A 7. B

Scientists looking to uncover the mysteries of the underwater world have more valuable information thanks to an international team that has produced a list of species confirmed or expected to produce sounds underwater.
Led by Audrey Looby from the University of Florida, the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds working group collaborated with the World Register of Marine Species to document 729 mammals (哺乳动物), fishes, and invertebrates (无脊椎动物) that produce active or passive sounds. In addition, the list includes another 21,911 species that are considered to likely produce sounds.
“With more than 70% of the Earth’s surface covered by water, most of the planet’s habitats are aquatic, and there is a misconception that most aquatic organisms are silent. The newly published comprehensive digital database on what animals are known to make sounds is the first of its kind and can revolutionize marine and aquatic science,” the researchers said.
“Listening to underwater sounds can reveal a lot of information about the species that produce them and is useful for a variety of applications, ranging from fisheries management, invasive species detection to assessing human environmental impacts,” said Looby, who also co-created FishSounds, which offers a collection of fish sound production research records.
The team’s research was published in Scientific Data and involved 19 authors from six countries. “Understanding how marine species interact with their environments is of global importance, and this data being freely available is a major step toward that goal,” said Kieran Cox, a member of the research team.
“Most people are familiar with whale or dolphin sounds but are often surprised to learn that many fishes and invertebrates use sounds to communicate, too,” Looby said. “Our database helps demonstrate how widespread underwater sound production really is across a variety of animals, but we still have a lot to learn.”
8. Why is the data listed in paragraph 2?
A. To show the types of biological sounds.
B To show the sum of documents on animals.
C. To show the species of underwater animals.
D. To show the number of the sound-producing species.
9. What is people’s misunderstanding according to the text?
A. Many mammals can live in water. B. Most fishes cannot make sounds.
C. Different species can communicate. D. Ocean animals can’t get onto the land.
10. What is the goal mentioned by Kieran Cox?
A. To document ocean animals’ sounds.
B. To set up a free database for scientists.
C. To learn how ocean animals communicate.
D. To publish the team’s research in Scientific Data.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To call on people to protect ocean animals.
B. To introduce the finding of a research team.
C. To list the animals that can produce sounds.
D. To describe the mysterious underwater world.

A humanoid robot can relay video and touch sensations to a person wearing a haptic (触觉内) feedback suit and a virtual reality (VR) headset hundreds of kilometres away, offering away for people to attend events without travelling.
The iCub 3 robot is a 52-kilogram, 125-centimetre-tall robot with 54 joints across its body. Its head contains two cameras where a human’s eyes would be, and an Internet-connected computer where the brain would go. Along with the cameras, sensors covering its body send data to the robot’s “brain”. These sensations are then reproduced on a suit and VR headset worn by a remote human operator.
When the operators react to what they see and feel, the suit’s sensors pick up the movements and the robot matches them. “The key is to translate every signal and bit of digital data that can be sent through the network.” says Stefano Dafarra, who was part of the iCub3 team. There can be a small delay of up to 100 milliseconds to capture and transmit the visual shots, but the operator can case this by moving slightly slower than normal.
The team demonstrated the robot at the Venice Biennale, where it wandered through an exhibition while its operator stood 290 kilometres away in Genoa. Dafarra hopes people will use the iCub3 to attend events remotely, reducing the need to travel. “But at present, a fall could be hugely damaging to the robot, and it’s uncertain whether it could stand up again on its own," he says.
“iCub3 is an interesting robot and offers clear advantages from the previous versions.” says Jonathan Aitken, whose laboratory owns a prior version of the robot. However, he is disappointed that the team wasn’t clear in its research about the data transmission requirements of the new version of the robot. “It would be good to know just how much data was required, and what the upper and lower bounds were.” he says.
12. What’s the principle behind the humanoid robot?
A. It conveys sensations to the wearer and acts accordingly.
B. It receives commands from an operator through the Internet.
C. The cameras take pictures and then interact with the sensors.
D. The computer in the robot processes the data and gives orders.
13. Which aspect of life may the technology be applied to?
A. Medical consultation. B. Sports events.
C. Outdoor workouts. D. Virtual tourism.
14. What can we infer about iCub 3 from the text?
A. It fails to appeal to potential investors.
B. Its performance hasn’t been evaluated clearly.
C. Its present version still requires to be updated.
D. Its transmission of data came across technical problems.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Humanoid robots with sense of touch catch on
B. iCub 3 robot combines with VR to benefit more people
C. Humanoid robots let people see and feel things remotely
D. New advances in technology enable people to travel at work

As far as I am concerned, self-confidence is the force that propels us towards our dreams, and the spark that arouses our passions. Without it, we would be like ships without sails.
But how can we cultivate self-confidence? Firstly, we must believe in ourselves. Recognize our strengths and accept our weaknesses. Secondly, we should set goals and strive to achieve them. Success breeds confidence, and each accomplishment brings us closer to being the best version of ourselves.
