English market towns to visit in the UK

English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop.

Hereford， Herefordshire

Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square， you’ll find lovely shops， eateries， and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.

Ludlow， Shropshire

Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops， greengrocers， bakeries， and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square， the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.

Shrewsbury， Shropshire

Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town， almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere—hanging baskets， window boxes， and planters—just what you imagine in an attractive English market town.

Mevagissey， Cornwall

Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey， you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor（港口） took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious.

Music filled the silence of the practice room. Our teacher made the dance look so easy when she was demonstrating it herself. Her movements flowed naturally with the rhythm of the music. She looked at herself in the mirror， her eyes filled with confidence. Her dancing appealed to me.

Finishing the demonstration， she told us， “It’s your time to shine！” Over the course of four months， we practiced week after week as we prepared for our final performance： a real performance with an actual audience. That thought of standing onstage in front of a cheering crowd gave me instant stage fright.

In the beginning， we felt motivated and energetic even after hours of dancing. We’d even grab drinks together after rehearsal（排练） and evaluate our own mistakes from the sessions. However， after a couple of weeks， our movements weren’t the same as usual. Some of my classmates no longer cared about the performance； others no longer felt motivated to improve their dancing abilities. So why did we continue practicing if we didn’t even plan to finish it？

Matching the teacher’s dancing was an impossible goal. But I still used the course as a chance to start improving， even if it meant that I started at the very bottom. I didn’t pressure myself to perfect the choreography（编舞）. I let that pressure move through my body instead， until I no longer saw myself in the mirror memorizing steps but actually dancing to the music.

On the day of the performance， recalling the way my teacher danced that first day， I entered the stage. I couldn’t see the audience through the bright spotlights. It was all dark around us， which made me less nervous. I only focused on my body， my mind， and the music. My mind was empty； I lost myself in the dance. I succeeded. And I knew at that moment， I engaged others， too.

（　　）4. What do we know about the author’s teacher？

A. She proved dance learning was easy.

B. She enjoyed dancing with others.

C. She showed a positive self-identity.

D. She was strict with students.

（　　）5. What occurred to some classmates after weeks of rehearsal？

A. They stopped practicing completely.

B. They lost enthusiasm for practicing.

C. They focused on other things instead.

D. They avoided social interaction.

（　　）6. How did the author practice dancing？

A. By observing every small step.

B. By arranging the movements.

C. By prolonging practice hours.

D. By co-existing with pressure.

（　　）7. What is the suitable title for the text？

A. Dancing my way to success

B. A rewarding dance rehearsal

C. Forgetting fright in dance

D. The power of dance practice

It’s a late summer afternoon at Lon-Men’s Noodle House. With the lunchtime rush over， the waiting staff are sitting down to eat while the chefs（主厨） are preparing the stew. The restaurant’s owner， Hsien-Kuo Ting， is joking with staff. This place is always busy， with both locals and tourists， and even famous people have visited it.

It is one of the most popular Chinese restaurants on Kantstrasse， a lively street in Berlin. “Kantstrasse is an attractive place where everyone wants to go，” says researcher Kimiko Suda. “It’s not what some people of mainstream German society call a culturally independent area where its people try to keep their culture different from that surrounding them. However， Kantstrasse is a really popular area within mainstream German society.”

While there are records of the Chinese coming to Germany in the 1820s， it was in the late 19th century that

Chinese students started to arrive. Many of them studied at TU Berlin. With the Chinese Embassy（大使馆）， a major railway station and the university all close to Kantstrasse， writer Frank Hoffmann says it became a small Chinatown specifically for Chinese students. “It was very convenient for them to live in and around Kantstrasse to go to their lessons，” historian Erich Gütinger says.

However， today’s Chinese restaurateurs do not have a similar promising future. K. Wong manages Aroma， another well-known Chinese restaurant. Despite being one of the second generation of restaurateurs within the family， Wong doesn’t see a third coming out. Her children work in offices and it’s not easy to find excellent new chefs in Berlin. “The rents are also rising，” she says.

Ting was preparing to retire at the end of 2023， with the eldest of his three sons managing the restaurant. So Ting would see a third generation of restaurateurs in the family. He is also finding it difficult to hire new professionals who are skilled at Chinese cooking. “But I want to see dining culture from China expand（发展） from here across Berlin，” he says.

（　　）8. Which of the following can best describe Lon-Men’s Noodle House？

A. It is badly short of hands.

B. It gets many new opportunities.

C. It is a very successful business.

D. It has fewer and fewer customers.

（　　）9. What does Kimiko Suda say about Kantstrasse？

A. It is mostly visited by Chinese people.

B. It has been changed greatly by German culture.

C. It has become part of mainstream German culture.

D. It tries to keep its culture different from other cultures.

（　　）10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss？

A. Why Kantstrasse attracted many Chinese students.

B. Why Chinese people came to Germany in the 1820s.

C. How Kantstrasse was influenced by Chinese restaurants.

D. How Chinese people began to open restaurants in Berlin.

（　　）11. Which of the following concerns both Wong and Ting？

A. The running costs are rising rapidly.

B. It is difficult to hire excellent cooks.

C. Their children don’t like Chinese cooking.

D. People show less interest in Chinese dishes.

In the lively borough（行政区） of Queens， New York City， there is a street called Roosevelt Avenue that runs through some of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods on Earth. Spanish， Bengali， Punjabi， Mixtec， Seke， and Kuranko are among the hundreds of languages spoken here. Nepalese dumplings， Korean noodles， Mexican tortas， Colombian empanadas， Thai curries， and spicy South Indian vindaloos are just some of the many food choices. Passing from one block to the next can feel like crossing different countries.

Walk around the 74th Street subway station， and you will find the neighborhood is heavily South Asian—mostly people of Bangladeshi， Indian， and Nepalese origin. Seemingly everywhere in Roosevelt’s path， there is a sense of the “old country”—of memories that haven’t faded over long stretches of distance and time. You feel it in some stores along Diversity Plaza， where people line up to send money and packages to relatives back home， relatives they haven’t seen in years and might not ever see again.

And you certainly feel it when you step into the United Sherpa Association， a community center now serving more than 12，000 Himalayan Sherpas， the largest population living outside Nepal. “Our seniors set up
