Suzhou Classical Gardens
Suzhou classical gardens are very pretty and special. They are not just regular gardens, they are like beautiful pictures made from nature.
A long, long time ago, over 2,000 years back in the Spring and Autumn Period, people started making these gardens. By the time of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, lots of rich people and retired officials loved to build their own gardens. These gardens were places for fun and also showed how much they loved beautiful things.
Suzhou gardens are built in a cool way. They use mountains, buildings, and plants to make a place where everything looks nice together. Some mountains in the gardens are real, but many are made from stones stacked up; the water areas are made with ponds and little rivers that go well with the pavilions and curvy bridges around them.
Every bridge and path in the gardens means something special, and every part is made to make people feel happy and calm.
Some of the most famous gardens in Suzhou are the Humble Administrator’s Garden (拙政园), Lingering Garden(留园), Lion Grove Garden(狮子林), and the Master of Nets Garden(网师园). The Humble Administrator’s Garden is the biggest and has lovely water scenes and twisty paths. The Lingering Garden is known for its pretty buildings and big water areas. The Lion Grove is famous for its cool rocky hills and mysterious paths, and the Master of Nets Garden is known for being very pretty and fancy.
Suzhou gardens also have lots of special windows that look nice and are useful for seeing different parts of the garden, like pictures in a painting.
Whether it’s hot in summer, cold in winter, or during the pretty spring and fall, Suzhou gardens are perfect places to enjoy nature. This design shows how good ancient Chinese people were at making gardens, and it shows how they liked to live peacefully with nature.
In 1997, these gardens in Suzhou were named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This was to show how important and special Suzhou gardens are and to celebrate the old Chinese garden culture.

Depending on the topic, people's opinions can change from moment to moment or last a lifetime. The factors that make one opinion long-lasting and another short-lived, however, are not always clear.
Past studies have shown that opinions based on hard facts and data can remain constant over time, but new research published in the journal Psychological Science finds that opinions based on feelings and emotions can also stand the test of time.
As part of their study, the researchers asked more than 1,000 people to what degree they believed opinions based on feelings or emotional reactions were more stable over time than those based on thinking and reasoned analysis. Only 15% expressed any belief that opinions based on emotion would be more stable over time.
To test the role that emotion plays in forming long-lasting opinions, the researchers conducted seven independent studies involving more than 20,000 participants in various real-world situations.
The first survey, which was conducted the day after Christmas, measured feelings about recently received gifts. The participants were given a list of adjectives(形容词) to describe their opinions toward their gifts. Adjectives like "worthwhile" were associated with a practical reaction to the gift, while words like “delightful” were more strongly associated with an emotional reaction. One month later, the participants completed a follow-up survey to test the endurance(持久性) of their opinions. The results showed that the stronger the positive emotional reaction, the more likely that opinion remained fixed one month later.
In the final test, participants read one of two messages about an imaginary sea animal. One message contained broad-ranging facts about the animal (low-emotion condition). The other message was about a swimmer’s underwater interaction with the animal (high-emotion condition). The participants in the high-emotion condition showed significantly less change in their opinions across time.
“Emotionality is an unrecognized predictor (预测因子) of long-lasting opinions,” said Andrew Luttrell, a researcher at Ball State University. “These findings are important for understanding why some opinions are so difficult to change as well as how to create opinions that stick.”
4. What did the survey of 1,000 people show?
A. Creating long-lasting opinions was a long process.
B. Opinions based on hard facts could stand the test of time.
C. The role of emotion was not recognized by most of the people.
D. Only a small percentage of people dared to express their opinions.
5. Which statement will lead to a long-lasting opinion according to the research?
A. The car is safe. B. The movie is boring.
C. The book is valuable. D. The speech is exciting.
6. Which is true about the findings of the research?
A. They have been concluded from hard facts.
B. They have been used to prove other predictors.
C. They help understand the endurance of opinions.
D. They have something to do with creative opinions.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Emotion Varies Based on Different Facts
B. Emotion Can Help Clarify the Opinions
C. Opinions Can Last When Based on Emotion
D. Opinions Once Formed are Hard to Change
二、七选五阅读
Your preschooler is painting with fingers. Trying to be encouraging, you ask her, “What are you making with this mix of colors?” and she shrugs(耸肩). Until you mentioned it, she hadn’t given it any thought. 1 They love the way it feels when they pour paint on paper, how it looks when they wildly drop glitter, and even the soft sound a brush makes as it crosses the page.
Most preschoolers aren’t self-conscious about what they’re doing or focused on creating a finished product. 2 But letting go—and allowing kids to enjoy the process of creation—can harvest big rewards. Children will be better off in the long run if they’re allowed just to be in the moment and express themselves.
Fostering (培养) creativity won’t just increase your child’s chances of becoming the next Picasso. 3 As kids use a paintbrush, their fine motor skills improve. By counting pieces and colors, they learn the basics of math. When children experiment with materials, they dive in science. Most important perhaps, when kids feel good while they are creating, art helps boost self-confidence.
4 Set up an art space where your kid can be free to experiment. Throw a drop cloth or a newspaper on top of your kitchen table or in the garage. If weather permits, let kids paint outside. Avoid giving directions. Don’t tell your kid what to make or how to make it. Instead of saying “Paint a rainbow”, encourage her to “experiment with mixing colors using different types of brushes and paper”. When a child finishes a piece, don’t suggest additions or changes. 5
A. So just prepare for a mess.
B. Preschoolers like to be alone.
C. Little kids are masters of the moment.
D. That can be hard for parents to accept.
E. Remember to warn them against their careless mistakes.
F. You’re also helping him develop mentally, socially, and emotionally.
G. Let your child feel her creation is enough—even if it’s just a dot on the page.

Depending on the topic, people's opinions can change from moment to moment or last a lifetime. The factors that make one opinion long-lasting and another short-lived, however, are not always clear.
Past studies have shown that opinions based on hard facts and data can remain constant over time, but new research published in the journal Psychological Science finds that opinions based on feelings and emotions can also stand the test of time.
As part of their study, the researchers asked more than 1,000 people to what degree they believed opinions based on feelings or emotional reactions were more stable over time than those based on thinking and reasoned analysis. Only 15% expressed any belief that opinions based on emotion would be more stable over time.
To test the role that emotion plays in forming long-lasting opinions, the researchers conducted seven independent studies involving more than 20,000 participants in various real-world situations.
The first survey, which was conducted the day after Christmas, measured feelings about recently received gifts. The participants were given a list of adjectives(形容词) to describe their opinions toward their gifts. Adjectives like "worthwhile" were associated with a practical reaction to the gift, while words like “delightful” were more strongly associated with an emotional reaction. One month later, the participants completed a follow-up survey to test the endurance(持久性) of their opinions. The results showed that the stronger the positive emotional reaction, the more likely that opinion remained fixed one month later.
In the final test, participants read one of two messages about an imaginary sea animal. One message contained broad-ranging facts about the animal (low-emotion condition). The other message was about a swimmer’s underwater interaction with the animal (high-emotion condition). The participants in the high-emotion condition showed significantly less change in their opinions across time.
“Emotionality is an unrecognized predictor (预测因子) of long-lasting opinions,” said Andrew Luttrell, a researcher at Ball State University. “These findings are important for understanding why some opinions are so difficult to change as well as how to create opinions that stick.”
4. What did the survey of 1,000 people show?
A. Creating long-lasting opinions was a long process.
B. Opinions based on hard facts could stand the test of time.
C. The role of emotion was not recognized by most of the people.
D. Only a small percentage of people dared to express their opinions.
5. Which statement will lead to a long-lasting opinion according to the research?
A. The car is safe. B. The movie is boring.
C. The book is valuable. D. The speech is exciting.
6. Which is true about the findings of the research?
A. They have been concluded from hard facts.
B. They have been used to prove other predictors.
C. They help understand the endurance of opinions.
D. They have something to do with creative opinions.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Emotion Varies Based on Different Facts
B. Emotion Can Help Clarify the Opinions
C. Opinions Can Last When Based on Emotion
D. Opinions Once Formed are Hard to Change

Your preschooler is painting with fingers. Trying to be encouraging, you ask her, “What are you making with this mix of colors?” and she shrugs(耸肩). Until you mentioned it, she hadn’t given it any thought. 1 They love the way it feels when they pour paint on paper, how it looks when they wildly drop glitter, and even the soft sound a brush makes as it crosses the page.
Most preschoolers aren’t self-conscious about what they’re doing or focused on creating a finished product. 2 But letting go—and allowing kids to enjoy the process of creation—can harvest big rewards. Children will be better off in the long run if they’re allowed just to be in the moment and express themselves.
Fostering (培养) creativity won’t just increase your child’s chances of becoming the next Picasso. 3 As kids use a paintbrush, their fine motor skills improve. By counting pieces and colors, they learn the basics of math. When children experiment with materials, they dive in science. Most important perhaps, when kids feel good while they are creating, art helps boost self-confidence.
4 Set up an art space where your kid can be free to experiment. Throw a drop cloth or a newspaper on top of your kitchen table or in the garage. If weather permits, let kids paint outside. Avoid giving directions. Don’t tell your kid what to make or how to make it. Instead of saying “Paint a rainbow”, encourage her to “experiment with mixing colors using different types of brushes and paper”. When a child finishes a piece, don’t suggest additions or changes. 5
A. So just prepare for a mess.
B. Preschoolers like to be alone.
C. Little kids are masters of the moment.
D. That can be hard for parents to accept.
E. Remember to warn them against their careless mistakes.
F. You’re also helping him develop mentally, socially, and emotionally.
G. Let your child feel her creation is enough—even if it’s just a dot on the page.
