专题05 七选五阅读 主题01 人与自然——环境保护与生态平衡 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·重庆·期末） Trees Provide Many Additional Benefits 1 Planting trees near your home can reduce the need to run your air conditioner by 30% and lower your heating bill by 20% to 50%, says the U. S. Forest Service. Shade from trees keeps your house cooler, so you don’t have to run your air conditioner as much on hot summer days. Trees can also block winter winds that creep into your home through windows and doors. Trees can improve your mental health. A study from The Nature Conservancy found that time in nature around trees correlated with a drop in anxiety and depression. 2 The solution for the city blues? Nature, specifically trees. Just looking at trees lowers blood pressure and muscle tension within five minutes, according to a Texas A&M study. Trees increase health. Neighborhoods with a high tree density (密度) rate report 25% lower childhood asthma (哮喘) rates, Lambe says. “Trees filter air pollution particles (颗粒) out of the air we breathe, so they give us cleaner air.” 3 Trees make city areas cooler and safer. “Trees provide shade, and they cool cities as much as 10°F,” Lambe says. “ 4 ” And get this: a Baltimore study found that crime decreased in neighborhoods where there were more trees. One might conclude that people obeyed the law better because wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more trees. The study controlled for that consideration and adjusted their models for a range of socioeconomic factors. 5 A．Trees make your house greener. B．Trees can lower your power bill. C．That can prevent heat-related deaths. D．Every tree helps, and the benefits add up. E．Trees still came out as being crime fighters. F．Studies find people living in the city have higher levels of stress. G．One study found trees prevented 850 deaths from asthma in a single year. 【答案】1．B 2．F 3．G 4．C 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了树木多所带来的一些好处。 1．根据本段内容“Planting trees near your home can reduce the need to run your air conditioner by 30% and lower your heating bill by 20% to 50%, says the U. S. Forest Service. Shade from trees keeps your house cooler, so you don’t have to run your air conditioner as much on hot summer days. Trees can also block winter winds that creep into your home through windows and doors.(美国林务局说，在你家附近种树可以减少30%的空调需求，减少20%到50%的取暖费。树荫让你的房子更凉爽，所以你不必在炎热的夏天开那么多空调。树木还可以阻挡冬天的风从窗户和门爬进你的家)”可知，第一段主要讲夏天因为树荫室内凉爽少开空调，冬天因为树可挡风，室内少风也可少开空调，所以就节约钱。故B选项“树木可以降低你的电费”符合语境，故选B。 2．根据标题“Trees can improve your mental health.(树木可以改善你的心理健康)”以及后文“The solution for the city blues?(如何解决城市忧郁？)”可知，本段讲树能够增进精神健康，城里的人压力更大，解决的方案就是多种树。故F选项“研究发现生活在城市里的人压力更大”符合语境，故选F。 3．根据上文“Neighborhoods with a high tree density rate report 25% lower childhood asthma rates, Lambe says. “Trees filter air pollution particles out of the air we breathe, so they give us cleaner air.”(兰贝说，树木密度高的社区儿童哮喘发病率要低25%。“树木过滤了我们呼吸的空气中的空气污染颗粒，所以它们给了我们更清洁的空气。”)”可知，上文提到树可以增进身体健康，G选项中asthma对应上文asthma。故G选项“一项研究发现树木在一年内防止850人死于哮喘”符合语境，故选G。 4．根据上文““Trees provide shade, and they cool cities as much as 10°F,” Lambe says.(兰贝说：“树木提供阴凉，使城市降温10华氏度。”)”可知，上文讲树荫会使城市凉爽，这样就会减少因热导致的人口死亡。故C选项“这可以防止与热有关的死亡”符合语境，故选C。 5．根据上文“And get this: a Baltimore study found that crime decreased in neighborhoods where there were more trees. One might conclude that people obeyed the law better because wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more trees. The study controlled for that consideration and adjusted their models for a range of socioeconomic factors.(巴尔的摩的一项研究发现，树木越多的社区，犯罪率就越低。有人可能会得出这样的结论：人们更遵守法律，因为富裕的社区往往有更多的树木。该研究控制了这一因素，并根据一系列社会经济因素调整了他们的模型)”可知，上文提到树多的社区犯罪率就低。故E选项“树木仍然是犯罪斗士”符合语境，故选E。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·广东汕尾·期末）How to Reduce Your Waste During the Holiday Season From groceries to decorative items and presents, people buy many things during the holidays. 6 It can also create extra cleaning time and increase environmental concerns.

I befriended cycling lovers and we often went cycling together. 6 I decided to go on a solo (独自的) cycling journey from Singapore to Indonesia. My late grandfather was born in Bagansiapiapi, Indonesia. Growing up, I’d hear all kinds of stories about his childhood before he moved to Singapore. I was anxious to visit his birthplace but I never acted on it until the idea of cycling there came to mind. 7 And I decided to go big — make the whole journey across the island and head to the northernmost tip of Indonesia. I made sure I planned my first solo ride around Indonesia well. My whole trip would cover more than 1,600 km. I aimed to cycle around 100 km to 140 km a day, which would take about four to six hours. I had to leave room for flexibility. Possible bicycle breakdowns and accidents needed to be taken into account. 8 During the first leg of the journey, I hardly felt tired because I was so driven by my excitement. Reaching Bagansiapiapi, I immediately asked about the history relating to the large Chinese community there. I learned that a Chinese family surnamed Tan did live there for years. In the 1940s, they moved to another part of Southeast Asia. The locals couldn’t remember the names so I wasn’t sure whether it was my grandfather’s family. 9 All the small pieces of the history reminded me of the hard work of my forefathers to find a better life for their later generations. 10 Once, I got lost while cycling towards Lake Toba. Luckily, a family of three showed me the right directions. The whole journey was unforgettable. I was thankful that I could witness the land where my grandparents had ever lived and that I had completed such a challenging cycling journey myself. A．I knew I had to make it happen. B．At age 49, I developed a thirst for adventure. C．My cycling journey was not without challenges. D．Or I was just feeling extra tired on a certain day. E．However, the possibility left me feeling excited and satisfied. F．I took note of a few potential hostels and other accommodations.

I was anxious to visit his birthplace but I never acted on it until the idea of cycling there came to mind.(在他移居新加坡之前，我听过他各种各样的童年故事。我很想去他的出生地看看，但一直没有付诸行动，直到我想到骑车去那里)”提到作者一直想去祖父的出生地印度尼西亚，但从未付诸行动，直到想到骑自行车去那里。A选项“I knew I had to make it happen.

When you live in a place where your culture is the main culture, you likely don’t have to put much effort into preserving it — it’s all around you! But what happens if you move to another country or when younger generations lose contact with older generations? 11 Follow and share cultural content on social media. 12 Following those accounts and sharing posts allows you to express your love for your culture and pass it to others. Social media allows you to connect with people from all over the world. This is especially helpful if you’ve moved to a different country or are studying abroad because you can connect with people from your home country. Introduce your culture at schools. Teachers are often looking for ways to teach their students about different cultures. 13 Talking to young people is a great way to share your culture with others and preserve it for future generations. 14 Your skills as a translator are really valuable — especially if you speak an uncommon or endangered language. You can also help researchers understand more about your cultural traditions by translating documents or recordings in your language into a more common language, such as English. Join or set up a cultural club. Larger schools often have a lot of clubs focused on cultural identity. These clubs build a cultural community among their members while also hosting events and celebrations that honor cultural traditions. If your school has one for your culture, join it. 15 A．Volunteer as a translator. B．Record your own language. C．If not, try to get one started. D．Just call some schools and ask. E．You can use the following tips to keep your culture alive. F．However, you can save your culture through social media.

But what happens if you move to another country or when younger generations lose contact with older generations? (当你生活在一个以你的文化为主要文化的地方，你可能不需要花太多精力去保护它——它就在你身边！但是，如果你搬到另一个国家，或者年轻一代与老一辈失去联系，会发生什么呢？)”可知，这里提出了一个问题，即如何在文化环境变化时保持自己的文化。设空处需要一个能够引出下文具体保护措施的句子。E选项“You can use the following tips to keep your culture alive.(你可以用以下方法来保持你的文化的活力)”回答了这个问题，提出了下文将要展开的具体方法，起到了承上启下的作用。故选E。 12．本段主题句“Follow and share cultural content on social media.(在社交媒体上关注和分享文化内容)”指出在社交媒体上关注和分享文化内容。G选项“有不同的社交媒体账户庆祝你的文化”与主题句相呼应，说明了在社交媒体上有专门庆祝各种文化的账户，这与下文的“Following those accounts(关注这些账户)”形成了逻辑上的连贯。故选G。 13．根据前文“Teachers are often looking for ways to teach their students about different cultures.(老师们经常寻找方法来教学生了解不同的文化)”可知，此处强调老师们经常寻找方法来教学生了解不同的文化。D选项“Just call some schools and ask.(只需给一些学校打电话询问)”提供了一个具体的行动建议，即如果老师们想了解某种文化，可以直接与学校联系询问。故选D。 14．本段的主题句缺失，根据下文“Your skills as a translator are really valuable — especially if you speak an uncommon or endangered language.

It can reduce the quality of your work, lead you to miss deadlines, cause others to avoid working with you, and can even damage your reputation. 1 First, it’s important to recognize when you’re procrastinating. 2 Perhaps you sit down to work on a high-priority project, and then immediately take a coffee break. Or maybe you wait around to be in the right mood to get started on something. Everyone’ s different, so pay attention to when you put off a task or project. 3 Are you overwhelmed (被压倒的) by the task? Are you so disorganized that you just don’t want to get started? Or, are you a perfectionist who thinks you don’t have enough knowledge or skills to begin? Once you understand why you’re procrastinating, come up with some strategies to overcome it. 4 If you’re procrastinating because of disorganization, take time to prioritize your to-do list and then focus on one task at a time. Or if you’re procrastinating because of perfectionism, ask yourself how perfect the work actually has to be. And don’t forget to reward (奖励) yourself. For example, have a coffee once you’ve completed a task that you’ve been putting off. 5 Remember, it can take a while to overcome a bad habit and establish a new routine, so don’t give up.

This is a question that many students ask themselves when faced with a heavy workload or upcoming exams. 11 It’s important to assess your own capabilities and limitations. Not everyone can maintain focus for such long periods of time, so be realistic about what you can handle. Consider the quality of your study sessions rather than just the quantity of hours spent. It’s better to have shorter but more focused study sessions to absorb information effectively than longer sessions. 12 Our brains need time to rest and recharge in order to store information. So, make sure to schedule a short rest every hour or two. Moreover, creating a structured schedule and sticking to it can help maximize productivity. 13 One of the biggest challenges when it comes to studying for long hours is maintaining concentration. It’s easy to get distracted or lose focus when you’re spending extended periods of time studying. 14 Create a good study environment. Find a quiet and comfortable place where you won’t be easily disturbed. Remove any distractions such as your phone or social media notifications. 15 This could include reminder devices, mind maps, or even teaching the material to others. By actively engaging with the content, you’ll find it easier to concentrate for longer periods. Another helpful tip is to prioritize quality sleep and physical exercise alongside your studies to make your brain and body better equipped for extended periods of focused work. A．Furthermore, taking regular breaks is essential. B．Remember that you have your own pace of learning. C．The answer is both yes and no, as it depends on several factors. D．Generally speaking, the more hours you spend, the better you will learn. E．Set specific goals for each study session and track your progress along the way. F．Additionally, use various study techniques to keep yourself engaged in learning. G．However, with a few strategies, you can study for long hours with concentration. 【答案】11．C 12．A 13．E 14．G 15．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍能否长时间学习取决于很多因素，可通过创造良好学习环境、设定目标、使用学习技巧以及保证睡眠和锻炼等策略，来实现长时间专注学习。 11．上文“Is studying 12 hours a day possible?

But the implied meaning of these common signals we use every day can mean something wildly different in another culture. 11 From them, you can know how to integrate and what to avoid. Greetings 12 Handshakes and hugs are common practices in Western societies in places like the US and UK, but in parts of Europe such as France and Italy, handshakes are a slightly more personal greeting. It’s common to linger for longer, which some visitors may find uncomfortable. Hand and arm gestures As standard, Italians use their arms and hands to gesture constantly while talking, whereas in Japan, this is considered bad manners. If you’re in Belgium or Northern Italy, be sure to avoid brushing your hand underneath your chin when speaking — it is a vivid way to tell someone to go away! 13 Well, hopefully you haven’t visited Greece or Sardinia yet, where it is considered to be as rude as a middle finger signal in the West. Head and movements In many parts of Eastern Europe, the standard nodding and shaking signifying yes and no respectively are switched, which can, of course, get very confusing. In Japan, staring too long is considered rude, invasive or even an act of aggression. Our special gesture, though, has to be this traditional signal from Tibet, China. If someone is sticking their tongue out at you in the street, all may not be as it seems! 14 But in Western cultures, it is considered playful, silly or even bad-mannered. All in all, body language plays a significant role in communicating with people from other cultures. 15 A．It can send signals stronger than words. B．My body utters when I try to hide something. C．In fact, it’s a way of demonstrating respect. D．In the UK and Australia, the sign means victory. E．Do you think the thumbs-up sign a universal gesture for “great”? F．Here is an introduction to the most unusual examples across the globe. G．In various parts of India, it’s common to greet one another by touching feet. 【答案】11．F 12．G 13．E 14．C 15．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界各地的肢体语言文化和差异。 11．根据上文“But the implied meaning of these common signals we use every day can mean something wildly different in another culture.( 但是，我们日常使用的这些常见信号的隐含意义在另一种文化中可能有着截然不同的含义。)”以及下文“From them, you can know how to integrate and what to avoid.( 从他们那里，你可以知道如何整合和避免什么。)”可知，前文提到日常身体语言信号在不同文化中有不同含义，后文介绍了世界各地不同身体语言的例子，F选项Here is an introduction to the most unusual examples across the globe.( 这里介绍一些全球最不寻常的例子。)可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，符合语境。故选F项。 12．此段主题是“Greetings(问候)”，G选项In various parts of India, it’s common to greet one another by touching feet. (在印度的不同地区，通过触摸脚来互相问候是很常见的。)可知，与问候方式相关，符合该段主题。故选G项。 13．根据下文“Well, hopefully you haven’t visited Greece or Sardinia yet, where it is considered to be as rude as a middle finger signal in the West.( 好吧，希望你还没有去过希腊或撒丁岛，在那里，这个手势在西方被认为和竖中指一样粗鲁。)”可知，后文提到在希腊或撒丁岛，某个手势被认为和西方竖中指一样粗鲁，且前文介绍了不同手势的含义，E选项Do you think the thumbs-up sign a universal gesture for “great”? (你认为竖起大拇指这个手势在全世界都表示“很棒”吗？)可知，引出下文关于竖起大拇指手势在不同文化中含义不同的内容，符合语境。故选E项。 14．根据上文“Our special gesture, though, has to be this traditional signal from Tibet, China. If someone is sticking their tongue out at you in the street, all may not be as it seems!( 我们的特殊身势语，必须是这个来自中国西藏的传统信号。如果有人在街上对你吐舌头，一切可能都不像看起来的那样！)”可知，前文提到在中国西藏，如果有人在街上向你吐舌头，情况可能并非看上去那样，C选项In fact, it’s a way of demonstrating respect.( 事实上，这是一种表示尊重的方式。)可知，解释了吐舌头这个动作在西藏文化中的真实含义，与后文在西方文化中的含义形成对比。故选C项。 15．根据上文“All in all, body language plays a significant role in communicating with people from other cultures.( 总之，肢体语言在与其他文化背景的人交流中起着重要的作用。)”可知，前文强调身体语言在与其他文化的人交流中起着重要作用，A选项It can send signals stronger than words. (它能发出比言语更强烈的信号。)可知，进一步强调身体语言的重要性，总结前文。故选A项。 主题02 人与自我——自我成长与自我认知 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·云南昭通·期末） If you’re ambitious, you’re bound to feel like a failure from time to time. Regardless of what you achieve, there’s always someone with more, and this can make you feel like you’re losing. But real success is about who you are and how far you’ve come. 1 No longer be the centre of the universe. We all know “successful” people who act like they’re the centre of the universe. It’s their world and the rest of us just live in it. That’s not success. 2 Other people’s feelings and dreams are just as important as ours, and we cannot succeed without them. Stay positive. Hope and optimism are essential components of a happy life. If you dwell on the things that go wrong, you become bitter and resentful. When that happens, you fail — no matter what you may have achieved. Real success means always seeing the bright side. 3 4 You’ve learned that the only people who never fail are those who don’t try. When you fail, you don’t automatically assume that you’re a failure. Instead, you embrace each failure as an opportunity to learn something — and then you move on. Ask for help when you need it. Refusing to ask for help, no matter how much you’re struggling, is a sign of emotional immaturity. Asking for help means that you no longer feel like you have something to prove by being perfect. 5 And you understand no one succeeds alone. A．Know that failure isn’t forever. B．Real success comes from the inside. C．Avoid embracing failure as a chance. D．True success requires the ability to feel empathy. E．The following indicators may help remind you of the success.

S. Forest Service. Shade from trees keeps your house cooler, so you don’t have to run your air conditioner as much on hot summer days. Trees can also block winter winds that creep into your home through windows and doors. Trees can improve your mental health. A study from The Nature Conservancy found that time in nature around trees correlated with a drop in anxiety and depression. 2 The solution for the city blues? Nature, specifically trees. Just looking at trees lowers blood pressure and muscle tension within five minutes, according to a Texas A&M study. Trees increase health. Neighborhoods with a high tree density (密度) rate report 25% lower childhood asthma (哮喘) rates, Lambe says. “Trees filter air pollution particles (颗粒) out of the air we breathe, so they give us cleaner air.” 3 Trees make city areas cooler and safer. “Trees provide shade, and they cool cities as much as 10°F,” Lambe says. “ 4 ” And get this: a Baltimore study found that crime decreased in neighborhoods where there were more trees. One might conclude that people obeyed the law better because wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more trees. The study controlled for that consideration and adjusted their models for a range of socioeconomic factors. 5 A．Trees make your house greener. B．Trees can lower your power bill. C．That can prevent heat-related deaths. D．Every tree helps, and the benefits add up. E．Trees still came out as being crime fighters.

It helps them socialize, understand their bodies better and enjoy the outdoors. 1 While this is a lot of time to a daily schedule, the activities will contribute to the physical and emotional health of children. 2 There is scientific evidence that playing outside improves health, and children of all ages love it. The more time children spend in nature, the more likely they are to grow up to be good stewards (管理员) of our planet. Sunny days not only make outdoor play more enjoyable for children but also contribute to their overall physical and mental well-being. Nowadays, the amount of time children spend engaging with a device is a key reason why outdoor time should be a scheduled activity. Scheduling time to actively play outdoors sets a natural limit on the amount of time children can spend on a device. It can reduce the risks of a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle. 3 Knowing why outdoor activities are important to children’s development is the first step to prioritizing (优先考虑) them in children’s schedule. 4 To find ideas for places you might go, visit your local parks and entertainment websites or ask people who are fond of outdoor activities. If you can’t go far or travel isn’t an option, there are still many ways to get outside close to home. 5 Simple activities like riding a bike, jumping rope, or having a picnic can be lots of fun and get you moving. A．Playing outside and exploring nature is for all ages! B．Knowing where to go is another step in the right direction. C．Besides, it can promote active engagement with their friends. D．But we don’t necessarily need to travel too far to enjoy nature. E．School-aged children need about three hours of outdoor play each day. F．Sunny days provide perfect opportunities to enjoy the joys of outdoor play. G．You can play in your backyard, or just take a walk around your neighborhood. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·广东广州·期末） At 40, I fell in love with cycling and joined a local cycling club. I befriended cycling lovers and we often went cycling together. 6 I decided to go on a solo (独自的) cycling journey from Singapore to Indonesia. My late grandfather was born in Bagansiapiapi, Indonesia. Growing up, I’d hear all kinds of stories about his childhood before he moved to Singapore. I was anxious to visit his birthplace but I never acted on it until the idea of cycling there came to mind. 7 And I decided to go big — make the whole journey across the island and head to the northernmost tip of Indonesia. I made sure I planned my first solo ride around Indonesia well. My whole trip would cover more than 1,600 km. I aimed to cycle around 100 km to 140 km a day, which would take about four to six hours. I had to leave room for flexibility. Possible bicycle breakdowns and accidents needed to be taken into account. 8 During the first leg of the journey, I hardly felt tired because I was so driven by my excitement. Reaching Bagansiapiapi, I immediately asked about the history relating to the large Chinese community there. I learned that a Chinese family surnamed Tan did live there for years. In the 1940s, they moved to another part of Southeast Asia. The locals couldn’t remember the names so I wasn’t sure whether it was my grandfather’s family. 9 All the small pieces of the history reminded me of the hard work of my forefathers to find a better life for their later generations. 10 Once, I got lost while cycling towards Lake Toba. Luckily, a family of three showed me the right directions. The whole journey was unforgettable. I was thankful that I could witness the land where my grandparents had ever lived and that I had completed such a challenging cycling journey myself. A．I knew I had to make it happen. B．At age 49, I developed a thirst for adventure. C．My cycling journey was not without challenges. D．Or I was just feeling extra tired on a certain day.

G．I felt a little regret for not exploring more of my family’s detailed history. Passage 3 （24-25高二上·贵州毕节·期末） Your culture is a huge part of who you are and the way you see the world. When you live in a place where your culture is the main culture, you likely don’t have to put much effort into preserving it — it’s all around you! But what happens if you move to another country or when younger generations lose contact with older generations? 11 Follow and share cultural content on social media. 12 Following those accounts and sharing posts allows you to express your love for your culture and pass it to others. Social media allows you to connect with people from all over the world.

It can reduce the quality of your work, lead you to miss deadlines, cause others to avoid working with you, and can even damage your reputation. 1 First, it’s important to recognize when you’re procrastinating. 2 Perhaps you sit down to work on a high-priority project, and then immediately take a coffee break. Or maybe you wait around to be in the right mood to get started on something. Everyone’ s different, so pay attention to when you put off a task or project. 3 Are you overwhelmed (被压倒的) by the task? Are you so disorganized that you just don’t want to get started? Or, are you a perfectionist who thinks you don’t have enough knowledge or skills to begin? Once you understand why you’re procrastinating, come up with some strategies to overcome it. 4 If you’re procrastinating because of disorganization, take time to prioritize your to-do list and then focus on one task at a time. Or if you’re procrastinating because of perfectionism, ask yourself how perfect the work actually has to be. And don’t forget to reward (奖励) yourself.

Here are some ways to boost your self-worth. Make a list of your talents or skills. Everyone has something good to offer. Humans possess and can learn mind-blowing(令人兴奋的) abilities. What can you offer? 7 List all of these. When you identify your abilities, you suppress(抑制) your weaknesses and give voice to your strengths. Pardon yourself. 8 Learn from all your past mistakes. If you keep feeling guilty or ashamed, you will never have a healthy sense of self-worth. Take risks. The only reason you haven’t done something great for yourself is that you are still wondering whether you should do it. 9 Stop doubting your abilities and just go. 10 Healthy habits can be as contagious(感染性的) as negative ones.

This is a question that many students ask themselves when faced with a heavy workload or upcoming exams. 11 It’s important to assess your own capabilities and limitations. Not everyone can maintain focus for such long periods of time, so be realistic about what you can handle. Consider the quality of your study sessions rather than just the quantity of hours spent. It’s better to have shorter but more focused study sessions to absorb information effectively than longer sessions. 12 Our brains need time to rest and recharge in order to store information. So, make sure to schedule a short rest every hour or two. Moreover, creating a structured schedule and sticking to it can help maximize productivity. 13 One of the biggest challenges when it comes to studying for long hours is maintaining concentration. It’s easy to get distracted or lose focus when you’re spending extended periods of time studying. 14 Create a good study environment. Find a quiet and comfortable place where you won’t be easily disturbed. Remove any distractions such as your phone or social media notifications. 15 This could include reminder devices, mind maps, or even teaching the material to others. By actively engaging with the content, you’ll find it easier to concentrate for longer periods. Another helpful tip is to prioritize quality sleep and physical exercise alongside your studies to make your brain and body better equipped for extended periods of focused work. A．Furthermore, taking regular breaks is essential. B．Remember that you have your own pace of learning. C．The answer is both yes and no, as it depends on several factors. D．Generally speaking, the more hours you spend, the better you will learn. E．Set specific goals for each study session and track your progress along the way.

The country’s history of tea is almost as long as the history of China itself. References to tea in Chinese works go back about 5,000 years. 6 It has been famous for a long time that tea is helpful in digestion. That is why many Chinese like drinking it during or after their meal. 7 It has become a part of the country’s daily life and of special reasons. Also, it is truly regarded as an overall part of Chinese culture. Among all the types of tea, green tea is usually produced before Tomb Sweeping Day in early April. 8 This is believed to be the best time for green tea, because insects have not yet appeared from the soil.

But the implied meaning of these common signals we use every day can mean something wildly different in another culture. 11 From them, you can know how to integrate and what to avoid. Greetings 12 Handshakes and hugs are common practices in Western societies in places like the US and UK, but in parts of Europe such as France and Italy, handshakes are a slightly more personal greeting. It’s common to linger for longer, which some visitors may find uncomfortable. Hand and arm gestures As standard, Italians use their arms and hands to gesture constantly while talking, whereas in Japan, this is considered bad manners. If you’re in Belgium or Northern Italy, be sure to avoid brushing your hand underneath your chin when speaking — it is a vivid way to tell someone to go away! 13 Well, hopefully you haven’t visited Greece or Sardinia yet, where it is considered to be as rude as a middle finger signal in the West. Head and movements In many parts of Eastern Europe, the standard nodding and shaking signifying yes and no respectively are switched, which can, of course, get very confusing. In Japan, staring too long is considered rude, invasive or even an act of aggression. Our special gesture, though, has to be this traditional signal from Tibet, China. If someone is sticking their tongue out at you in the street, all may not be as it seems! 14 But in Western cultures, it is considered playful, silly or even bad-mannered. All in all, body language plays a significant role in communicating with people from other cultures. 15 A．It can send signals stronger than words. B．My body utters when I try to hide something.

Regardless of what you achieve, there’s always someone with more, and this can make you feel like you’re losing. But real success is about who you are and how far you’ve come. 1 No longer be the centre of the universe. We all know “successful” people who act like they’re the centre of the universe. It’s their world and the rest of us just live in it. That’s not success. 2 Other people’s feelings and dreams are just as important as ours, and we cannot succeed without them. Stay positive. Hope and optimism are essential components of a happy life. If you dwell on the things that go wrong, you become bitter and resentful. When that happens, you fail — no matter what you may have achieved. Real success means always seeing the bright side. 3 4 You’ve learned that the only people who never fail are those who don’t try. When you fail, you don’t automatically assume that you’re a failure. Instead, you embrace each failure as an opportunity to learn something — and then you move on. Ask for help when you need it. Refusing to ask for help, no matter how much you’re struggling, is a sign of emotional immaturity. Asking for help means that you no longer feel like you have something to prove by being perfect. 5 And you understand no one succeeds alone. A．Know that failure isn’t forever. B．Real success comes from the inside. C．Avoid embracing failure as a chance. D．True success requires the ability to feel empathy. E．The following indicators may help remind you of the success.

Unless we act immediately to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we won’t be able to escape the worst consequences of climate change. This can seem depressing. 6 . Here are some ways you can be part of the climate solution: ●Transform your transport 7 . So many governments across the world are taking action to reduce carbon emissions in transport. You can get a head start. Leave your car at home and walk or cycle whenever possible. If the distances are too great, choose public transport, preferably electric options. If you must drive, offer to carpool with others so that fewer cars are on the road. ● 8 To reduce your food’s carbon footprint, buy local and seasonal foods. You’ll be helping small businesses and farms in your area and reducing fossil fuel emissions associated with transport and cold chain storage. Go one step further and try growing your own fruit, vegetables and herbs. 9 . ●Don’t waste food One-third of all food produced is either lost or wasted. People waste 1 billion tons of food each year, which accounts for around 8-10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Avoid waste by only buying what you need.

A recent project conducted has found over 900 different substances in our home are related to it. Many researchers have already examined the causes of indoor air pollution. 11 It has been proved that different kinds of chemicals can be released by building materials and new furniture. Everything from painting and decorating products, bathroom cleaners and beauty products can contain these chemicals. 12 For instance, cooking generates a lot of harmful emissions, like frying meat in oil. As a research from Denmark has highlighted, cooking, particularly roasting can damage our body. Roast dinners contain many potentially harmful pollutants. 13 When exposed to cooking emissions, people actually had DNA damage. It can be associated with cell repair processes that trigger cancer—causing genetic changes. 14 And what can we do with it? As far as cooking emissions are concerned, no one is suggesting switching to takeaways. 15 For example, cooking meat at high temperatures with lots of fat produces more harmful emissions than boiling pasta. Besides, opening windows and using cooker hoods are preferable so that we can enjoy the roasted meat without those undesirable effects. A．In the long run, these changes lead to cancer. B．They might also arise from cooking at home. C．A wide range of sources are under investigation. D．Therefore, what results from indoor air pollution? E．However, most of us have ignored their bad effects. F．So, what are the main contributors to poor air quality? G．But we can change how we cook to deal with the emissions. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
