Florida is a wonderful place to retire because of the suitable cost of living and location close to the beach. In addition, it has provided different kinds of services to support the retirement(退休)community. Here are some best Florida cities for retirement.
Miami
Population: about 605,800
Share of population age 65+: 18.2%
Median monthly rent: about $1,500
Miami has higher housing and costly health care, so seniors retiring in Miami need to face the higher cost of living. However, it offers retirees plenty of activities. It's more expensive, but the rich cultural experience, dining, shopping, and health care services are top-tier.
Fort Myers
Population: about 752,200
Share of population age 65+: 28.4%
Median monthly rent(租金): about $1,300
Fort Myers scored(得分) well on the happiness metrics(指标). Many retirees are able to comfortably afford a home, which frees up retirement income for other important expenses. Seniors in Fort Myers can create a relaxing beach retirement lifestyle.
Tallahassee
Population: about 382,700
Share of population age 65+: 14.6%
Median monthly rent: about $1,000
Tallahassee has four clear seasons, and its short winters are colder than the state's coastal areas. Housing is more affordable here than in other Florida cities. Retirees can take classes at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida, or enjoy one of Tallahassee's many museums, historic sites and parks.
Ocala
Population: about 370,000
Share of population age 65+: 28.5%
Median monthly rent: about $990
This equestrian (马术) town is best known for award-winning horses. Retirees can attend horse shows and equestrian events and enjoy regular horseback rides. Ocala’ s inexpensive housing makes it easy to move to the area. The Ocala National Forest has hundreds of lakes, rivers and springs where you can swim and fish.

B
A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. A teacher read out numbers—74,470,70,809, 98,402—— and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly.
The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus(算盘). Stevenson used a practice called “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work out the problems.
From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads(珠子), so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt scared. My usual solution was escape, and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online.
Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less scary. I didn't become Euclid, the founder of geometry (几何学). But the practice brought my fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus. Confidence grows easily in the device(设备),and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and results appear to move in step.
My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those difficult math problems, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teacher. These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally believed in themselves.
9. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To prove the difficulty of math. B. To introduce the topic of the abacus.
C. To show the cleverness of Stevenson. D. To compare the author with Stevenson.
10. What do we know about the author from paragraph 3?
A. He was weak in math. B. He was good at computer.
C. He thought of math as useful. D. He had a close relationship with kids.
11. What does the author realize from his learning experience?
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. It's never too late to learn.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Faith can move mountains.
12. What did the author's kids both gain from abacus learning?
A. Interest in abacus B. Working skills.
C. Secrets to success D. Self-confidence.
C
Just being intelligent (聪明的) doesn't mean someone will be successful. And just because someone is less intelligent doesn't mean that person will fail. That's one take-home message from the work of people like Angela Duckworth, who works at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Like many other scientists, Duckworth wondered what could make one person more successful than another. When digging deeper, Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality (品质) independent of intelligence. They had the quality of grit (毅力).Duckworth developed a set of questions to test it. She called it her “grit scale(量表).”
In one study of people 25 and older, she found that as people aged, it was more possible that they stuck with a project. She also found that grit increased with education. People who finished college scored higher on the grit scale than people who gave up before graduation. People who went to graduate school after college scored much higher.
She then did another study with college students. Duckworth wanted to see how intelligence and grit made a difference to performance in school. So she compared scores on college-entrance exams, which measure IQ, to school grades and scores on the grit scale. Students with higher grades tended to have more grit. That's not surprising. Getting good grades takes both smarts and hard work.
But some people dissent from Duckworth who believes that this grit means success. Among those people is Marcus Crede, a professor at Iowa State University in Ames. He recently connected the results of 88 studies on grit. Together, those studies tested nearly 67, 000 people. And grit did not mean success, Crede found.
However, he thinks grit is very similar to someone's ability to set goals, work toward them and think things through before acting.
“Study habits and skills, test anxiety and class attendance are far more strongly connected to school grades than grit,” Crede says. “We can teach students how to study well. We can teach students how to solve their test anxiety,” he adds. “I’m not sure whether we can do that with grit.”
13. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. Intelligence leads to success.
B. Duckworth redesigned a grit scale.
C. Not all smart people will succeed.
D. Grit decides how intelligent one might be.
14. What might make a difference to a person's grit according to Angela Duckworth's findings?
A. Lifestyle. B. Family. C. Personality D. Education.
15. What does the underlined words “dissent from” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Disagree with. B. Benefit from. C. Look down upon. D. Take advantage of.
16. What do we know from the last paragraph?
A. Grit can be achieved easily.
B. It may not possible to teach grit.
C. Grit is strongly related to test anxiety.
D. Grit has nothing to do with school grades.
D
An Inuit-developed app, named SIKU after the Inuktitut for “sea ice”, allows local communities from Alaska to Greenland to connect traditional(传统的) knowledge with scientific data(数据) to track(追踪) changes in the environment, and make decisions about how to manage wildlife.
A group of Inuit elders and hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, thought up the idea for SIKU more than ten years ago to record and understand the changing sea ice in southeastern Hudson Bay. The group turned to the local non-profit Arctic Eider Society (AES) to develop a web-based platform(平台).
Over the years, SIKU has developed, and recently, the old saw that the platform could help solve a familiar problem: sharing knowledge with younger people who often have their noses in their phones. In 2019, SIKU was reintroduced as a full-fledged(全面发展的) social network—a platform where members can post photos and notes about wildlife sightings, hunts, sea ice conditions and more. The posts tell stories of hunting and traveling, the influence of climate change and industrial activity, and the traditions, diets and illnesses of local animals.
Inuit communities are already making full use of the app, SIKU to make important decisions. In 2021, for example, the old in Sanikiluaq were worried that the local reindeer(驯鹿) population had went down, so the Hunters and Trappers Association used SIKU to look closely at hunters and recent reported harvest rates. The information led the association to close the hunt for a short time to stop the population from going down and to reintroduce hunting slowly when the number of reindeer increased.
Traditionally, Inuit communities shared this information orally (口头上地).“We have lived in the environment for centuries and know about the wildlife. Now armed with SIKU, information is written in a way that other people will understand. The advantage of SIKU is that it's part science and part Inuit knowledge and it supports community-driven research,” says Lucassie Arragutainaq, a co-founder of AES.
17. Why was SIKU developed in the beginning?
A. To raise money for AES.
B. To pass on Inuit tradition.
C. To attract more visitors to Inuit communities.
D. To record and learn about the changing sea ice.
18. Why is reindeer mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To further explain the role of SIKU.
B. To advise people to pay more attention to SIKU.
C. To call on visitors and locals to protect reindeer.
D. To tell the advantages of the Hunters and Trappers Association.
19. What is the attitude of Lucassie Arragutainaq toward SIKU?
A. Puzzled. B. Worried. C. Agreeable D. Doubtful.
20. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. SIKU: Overcoming Environmental Challenges
B. SIKU: Informing Decisions Of Local Communities
C. SIKU: Advantages Over Other Local Social Media Platforms
D. SIKU: Putting Traditional Wisdom and Modern Technology Together
