London is a city always under construction and its architecture varies greatly between old and new. Whether you’re an architecture lover or a casual visitor London has lots of cool buildings to offer. Here are some of the best examples:
Houses of Parliament
Located on the bank of the Thames, the building was designed by architect Sir Charles Barry and completed in 1834. It’s connected to the Elizabeth Tower, which houses Big Ben. Guided tours are available, with options for families with young kids. Tours are available on selected dates, so check online in advance before visiting.
National Theatre
Designed by Sir Denys Lasdun and Peter Softley, National Theatre is one of London’s best places to enjoy concerts and plays. It contains three different theaters and has become a must-go destination especially for visitors who enjoy watching performances since its completion in 1963. The concerts and plays can be extremely popular, with tickets selling out far in advance, so be sure to book seats ahead of your visit.
The Shard
The Shard stands 95 stories over London. It was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano and completed in 2012. It contains offices, restaurants and bars, the Shangri-La Hotel and a public viewing gallery. The viewing platform, which offers 360-degree views, can be found on floors 68, 69 and 72, and is London’s highest viewing gallery. Be sure to book a timed ticket in advance when visiting.
Royal Albert Hall
Completed in 1871, the concert hall is also home to the annual BAFTA Awards. It has a long history of famous performances, from hosting the Titanic Band Memorial Concert in 1912 to being the site of Adele’s performance in 2011. Many concerts take place here every week, so there is no need to book tickets online in advance.

B
I heard some good news recently. My 91-year-old grandfather called me to test his new hearing aid. For the first time in a long time, he could hear my voice. It thrilled us both.
I soon found out there was another reason why my grandparents were so happy — their new audiologist (听觉病矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the previous providers they’d been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandparents’ apartment to show them how to use it.
Such kindness might sound rare, but I’ve since started wondering: What if it’s more common than we think?
It started with some research that showed people often underestimate the willingness of strangers to communicate with, or even befriend them. Then I came across a study that suggested news coverage of current affairs tends to be more negative than positive because humans tend to give negative events more attention.
Negative stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment. But if we don’t engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive and less hopeful than we need to be.
So I think sometimes what we hear, see or even know might not be the whole picture. The truth might be hidden from us, requiring us to notice and discover it. We could start by asking ourselves whether we are focusing more on negative or positive stories and whether we are letting negative news surround us. Maybe even paying more attention to good news or making a point of sharing good news will help.
Anna’s attitude was remarkable. She went beyond the call of duty and, upon leaving, refused to accept anything but words as thanks.
Why not remind ourselves that, for all of the bad that’s in the world and in the news, behind the scenes, in people’s ordinary lives, lie untold stories of extraordinary good.
4. How was Anna different from previous audiologists?
A. She spent extra time caring for patients.
B. She paid little attention to her patients’ needs.
C. She displayed more patience and professionalism.
D. She refused to accept payment for the hearing aid.
5. Why are news reports on current events usually more negative than positive?
A. To show the difficulty of reality.
B. To warn people of potential risks.
C. To attract audiences more effectively.
D. To encourage people to seek out the truth.
6. What is a potential consequence of focusing only on negative stories?
A. A reduced sense of safety.
B. Increased optimism and hope.
C. Improved ability to deal with stress.
D. A more objective attitude to the world.
7. What does the author suggest?
A. Accepting all the world offers us.
B. Sharing only positive news stories.
C. Taking advantage of strangers’ kindness.
D. Holding a positive outlook on the world.
C
Garbage is unavoidable in the restaurant business. Kitchen employees throw onion skins and meat fat into the wastebasket almost by instinct. The garbage then finds its way into black bags for trash-day pickup. Countless plastic bags are ordered and then often thrown away.
At the Brooklyn restaurant Rhodora, however, taking out the trash works a little differently. The new restaurant is one of a small number of places that have begun to operate under a zero-waste idea. It means they do not send any trash or food waste to a landfill. There is not even a traditional trash can in the restaurant. They have brought in tools to help cut down on waste. A paper cutter turns wine boxes into fertilizer. A dish washing setup changes salt into soap. Beeswax (蜂蜡) wrap takes the place of plastic wrap.
The aim is to lessen the restaurant’s environmental impact while running a profitable business. There’s a possible added benefit in lifting the eco-awareness of its customers.
“It’s not a secret knowledge,” said Henry Rich, a co-owner of Rhodora. “It’s just a couple of things that are very specific. You need to be kind of creative about operating a restaurant.”
The paper menus feature a mini-essay on the restaurant’s green mission. They are fed to the compost pile (肥堆) when they get old or worn out. Anything left on a customer’s plate gets fed into the fertilizer. Natural wine bottles and most other containers are removed for recycling.
The first set of fertilizer will be used to fertilize the restaurant’s mini-gardens on top of the storage boxes outside of the restaurant, and possibly a rooftop farm somewhere else.
Despite all these efforts to ensure its space is zero waste, the Rhodora system isn’t perfect. It hasn’t been determined, for example, what to do with a dishwasher beyond repair. “I don’t want to pretend we have everything figured out,” Mr. Rich said.
8. What does the “zero-waste idea” practiced by Rhodora mainly involve?
A. Avoiding sending waste to landfills.
B. Reusing all plastic products to reduce pollution.
C. Turning all food waste into fertilizer for rooftop farms.
D. Removing all types of garbage in restaurant operations.
9. What can we infer from Henry Rich’s words in paragraph 4?
A. The Zero-waste idea is very easy to carry out.
B. Running a zero-waste restaurant needs secret skills.
C. Zero-waste restaurant operation requires innovative thinking.
D. The zero-waste concept is too professional for most restaurants.
10. How does Rhodora deal with its paper menus?
A. They are changed into compost when damaged.
B. They are recycled into new paper products after use.
C. They are stored as records of the restaurant’s mission.
D. They are donated to environmental protection programs.
11. Why does the author mention the “dishwasher beyond repair” in the last paragraph?
A. Some waste disposal problems remain unsolved.
B. Rhodora’s zero-waste system is far from practical.
C. Zero-waste goals are impossible to achieve in reality.
D. Restaurant equipment should be regularly maintained.
D
The phrase “learn by heart” may have some science in it, with a new study showing our brain is not the only place where memories are formed and stored. Organs like the kidney and heart may have similar abilities.
New York University (NYU) scientists studied non-brain cells from nerves and kidneys. To better study the cells’ behaviors, the scientists got the cells to make a glowing protein to know when the cells turned on a “memory gene” — the same gene in brain cells. It becomes active when new information is memorized. Next, the scientists exposed these non-brain cells to different patterns of chemical signals, similar to how brain cells receive patterns of signals when we learn new things.
They discovered the cells could “remember” specific patterns. When the cells experienced a three-minute pulse (脉冲), their “memory gene” was turned on for a few hours. But when they experienced four such pulses together, the gene stayed on for days, reported Psychology Today.
This is not the first time that non-brain cells or organs have been found to store “memories”. For example, a paper published in 2000 described a 56-year-old man who, after a heart transplant, dreamed of seeing a strange man right before a flashing light. His description of the man turned out to match the shooter of his heart donor, reported Science Alert.
But the NYU study found something even more interesting. When receiving one pulse the same length as four shorter ones put together, the non-brain cells turned on the “memory gene” less strongly. This reflects the spacing effect, which shows that we can’t learn things well when study sessions are completed in a long and hard session, noted the scientists. That is why cramming for an exam doesn’t often work well.
The spacing effect used to be linked to brain cells only. However, the new study shows “the ability to learn from spaced repetition might be a fundamental property of all cells,” said Nikolay V. Kukushkin, the study’s lead scientist. This finding can help treat memory problems and prevent other diseases like diabetes (糖尿病). For example, we should consider what our pancreas (胰腺) remembers about our past meals to keep blood sugar levels healthy, suggested Kukushkin.
12. What did the NYU scientists do to study non-brain cells’ memory ability?
A. They compared them with brain cells from different people.
B. They tested the cells’ response to different lengths of pulses.
C. They exposed the cells to the same chemical signals as brain cells.
D. They made the cells produce a glowing protein to track a memory gene.
13. What does the example of the 56-year-old man show?
A. Heart transplants can affect patients’ dreams.
B. The heart may have the ability to store memories.
C. Donors’ memories can be passed on through organs.
D. Strange dreams are common after organ transplants.
14. What does the underlined word “cramming” in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Learning by heart.
B. Studying with regular breaks.
C. Understanding concepts deeply.
D. Memorizing things in a short time.
15 What is the significance of the NYU study?
A. It explains how memory genes work in different organs.
B. It provides a new way to treat diabetes and other diseases.
C. It shows that the spacing effect is a basic property of cells.
D It proves that all cells have the same memory ability as the brain.
