Amazing Cities around the World to Experience a Winter Christmas
You may love staying home and having a quiet day in on Christmas, but there’s a strong case for travelling, too. In these 4 cities around the world, Christmas time is a magical experience like no other.
Tallinn, Estonia
For an up-and-coming travel destination with one of the best preserved medieval towns in the world, head to this Baltic capital. It also just so happens to be gorgeous at Christmas time, with an authentic Christmas market, Christmas festival, concerts, and Christmas tree—thought to be the oldest public display of a Christmas tree in the world.
Bruges, Belgium
This pedestrian-friendly city is breathtaking to walk around at Christmas time—or take a boat ride along the canals. The medieval buildings look like gingerbread houses, and the lights decorating them give a truly magical glow. The city’s holiday events include a midwinter festival, carolling and music, and an ice sculpture exhibit.
Rome, Italy
There isn’t a more spiritual place than Rome with its many beautiful churches and cathedrals. Visitors can attend Christmas Eve midnight mass in St. Peter’s square; tickets for inside the basilica usually sell out months in advance. In addition, the Pope will appear on the basilica’s balcony to give his blessing on Christmas Day.
Rovaniemi, Finland
You can’t get any Christmas-ier than a sleigh ride—and that’s one of the highlights here. “The official hometown of Santa Claus” features Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle, where visitors can take reindeer and husky rides. Rovaniemi also offers other seasonal activities like viewing the Northern Lights, winter swimming, and enjoying a warm sauna.
1. What do the first two destinations have in common
A. Visitors can enjoy music in both places. B. Both cities offer a visit to a Christmas tree.
C. You can take a boat ride in these two cities. D. Both exhibit ice sculptures.

A. Tallinn B. Bruges C. Rome D. Rovaniemi
B
Suzanne Heywood was just seven years old when her parents pulled her out of school. The British family went on a voyage around the world. While her parents thought it was the trip of a lifetime and often described the opportunity as a “privilege”, Suzanne has since compared it to being locked up in prison.
Now 55 years old, Suzanne has recalled her 10 years at sea in her memoir Wavewalker. “My father said we would be back in three years and everything would go back to normal, but in fact, it was almost 10 years before we came back, and I spent that time trapped on a boat, unable to go to school or have normal friendships,” she wrote in the book.
Despite her father assuring her the trip would be safe, Suzanne claimed it was “incredibly dangerous”, sharing details of a journey where the boat hit an enormous storm. She was thrown against the ceiling of the cabin and the wall, breaking her skull and nose. Three days later, they found a tiny island in the middle of the Indian Ocean where she had multiple head operations without anaesthetic.
In order to get through her “very strange” childhood, Suzanne was determined to get an education to live a normal life. She began studying in the small cabin of the boat, which she found challenging both practically and academically. Then, when she was 16,her parents enrolled the teenager into a school in New Zealand while they continued sailing. Finally, despite the gaps in her education, Suzanne landed a spot at Oxford University, and after saving up money she’d earned working on a farm, Suzanne bought a one-way plane ticket back to the UK.
Since going public with her story, Suzanne’s book instantly became a bestseller, and she continues to work through the trauma caused by her unstable childhood. Suzanne’s extraordinary tale has captured the hearts of millions, with thousands of online fans praising her bravery.
4. Why did Suzanne Heywood leave school at the age of seven
A. Her parents were locked up in prison.
B. Her parents decided to take her on a voyage.
C. She wanted to escape the pressure of school life.
D. Her family had to immigrate to another country.
5. What can we learn about Suzanne’s voyage at sea
A. It lasted exactly three years as her father promised.
B. She received professional medical care on the boat.
C She suffered serious injuries in a terrible storm.
D. She was admitted to Oxford University.
6. The underlined word “trauma” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by_________
A. annoyance B. anxiety C. frustration D. suffering
7. What mainly leads to Suzanne’s success in later life
A. Her parents’ constant encouragement. B. Her strong desire for a normal life.
C. The popularity of her memoir. D. The help from online fans.
C
The Can of Ham cannot find a buyer. It may be hard to see the Gherkin because the Walkie-Talkie and the Cheesegrater get in the way. London’s iconic skyline is constructed not just from glass and steel, but also from imaginative nicknames. This phenomenon of informal naming extends far beyond architecture, offering insights into consumer behavior and workplace dynamics(动态).
Consumers frequently create nicknames for brands, which typically signal a genuine connection. Research by Zhe Zhang and Vanessa Patrick examined how people react to nicknames used by other consumers. In one experiment, participants read an online review of a McDonald’s item. Some saw the chain referred to as “Mickey D’s,” while others saw the formal name. The results showed that when consumers use nicknames like “Mickey D’s” in product reviews, those reviews appear more truthful and are more likely to influence purchasing decisions. However, this positive effect is fragile. When the researchers tested scenarios where a firm used its own nickname in communications — such as Walmart referring to itself as “Wally World” — the benefits disappeared. A nickname that feels natural when used by consumers comes across as untruthful when used by the firm itself.
Workplace is another place filled with nicknames, with one study finding 87% of employees encounter them. However, even if a nickname is meant as a mark of affection, it matters who coins it. In an experiment, researchers looked into the differences between “upward nicknaming” (employees naming bosses) and “downward nicknaming” (bosses naming employees). The result reveals that downward nicknaming is associated with lower perceived concern for employee welfare, while upward nicknaming is associated with greater staff well-being.
The lessons for managers and brands are clear. Nicknaming is a natural social habit that can foster connection and positivity. However, the most effective and truthful nicknames are those that arise naturally from the bottom up. Therefore, brands should avoid overusing their own, and bosses should only intervene if nicknames cause discomfort.
8. What effect does using brand nicknames in consumer reviews have
A. It increases the willingness of purchase. B. It helps consumers make wiser decisions.
C. It makes the reviews more likely to be ignored. D. It causes the brand to ban the use of nicknames.
9. Why do the positive effects of nicknames disappear when companies use them
A. The nicknames are not popular among the public. B. Consumers think the nicknames are too casual.
C. The nicknames have lost the truthfulness. D. Brand values are not well reflected.
10. What can be inferred about “downward nicknaming” in the workplace
A. It helps improve staff productivity. B. It makes employees feel less valued.
C. It leads to lower work engagement. D. It is encouraged by most management teams.
11. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Brands and Bosses: Should They Embrace or Reject Nicknames
B. Rise of Informal Naming: A Trend Impacting Brands and Workplaces
C. Nicknames: Bridging Cultural Gaps and Strengthening Workplace Teams
D. Magic of Informal Names: Shaping Consumer Choices and Workplace Bonds
D
A recent study published in Nature established an alarming link: for every hour its elderly participants delayed breakfast, their risk of death seemed to rise by 10%. It followed a 2019 study, which found that participants who never consumed breakfast had a 75% higher risk of death.
Some researchers think this is because those who skip breakfast might end up consuming more food later, leading to issues in insulin(胰岛素) sensitivity. Others suggest that those who eat breakfast later might be staying up later at night, which could carry its own health risks. But both of these studies are observational, meaning they can’t definitely prove skipping or delaying breakfast is a cause of increased death risk.
Dr Suzanne Wylie, GP and medical advisor for IQdoctor, thought we should interpret these findings with caution. “Association does not mean causation, and there are many possible explanations for this link,” Dr Wylie said, “for example, people who are unwell might naturally eat later, so it may be that poor health leads to delayed breakfasts, rather than the other way around. For healthy adults, particularly those who practise some form of intermittent fasting, it’s unlikely to cause significant harm in itself”
However this doesn’t mean meal times are irrelevant for all people. For older people, skipping breakfast in these groups could contribute to reduced energy intake, weight loss, or low blood sugar levels, especially if they’re taking certain medications.
“The sum of a person’s habits is much more important than one factor taken in isolation. What someone eats, how active they are, and how well they sleep are all far more influential on long-term health than the precise time they have breakfast,” she stated, “while I wouldn’t describe skipping or delaying breakfast as ‘bad’ in a blanket sense, I would encourage common people, particularly older ones, to maintain a regular eating pattern and not to ignore early hunger cues.”
12. What can we infer from the two studies mentioned in the passage
A. Delaying breakfast by one hour increases the death risk by 75%.
B. Both studies lack solid proof to confirm a causal relationship.
C. Skipping breakfast is the main cause of high death risk.
D. Delayed breakfast leads to poorer insulin sensitivity.
13. Which of the following best describes Dr. Wylie’s attitude towards the studies
A. Fully supportive. B. Totally opposed. C. Cautiously skeptical. D. Basically indifferent.
14. What is Dr Wylie’s advice on breakfast
A. We need to stick to a consistent eating routine.
B. Older people should eat breakfast earlier than young adults.
C. We should prioritize the time of breakfast over what we eat.
D. Intermittent fasting should be publicized.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To stress the link between breakfast and death risk.
B. To warn the elderly against delaying or skipping breakfast.
C. To urge people to adopt a regular eating pattern for better health.
D. To present conflicting views on the health effects of breakfast habits.

If anyone had told me two years ago that I would rely on “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) for most of my major purchases, I would have shaken my head in disbelief. In my eyes, BNPL services were for people who couldn’t manage their budgets, ended up in endless debt, or spent money on things they couldn’t afford. They had nothing to do with a careful spender like me.____16____
The friend who first introduced me to BNPL insisted it was a smart way to balance cash flow.____17____I used it to buy a new laptop for work, splitting the payment into six monthly installments with zero interest. But halfway through, an unexpected bill popped up, and I missed a payment—suddenly facing late fees that made the total cost higher than the original price. I also unconsciously bought two extra accessories I didn’t really need, just because the “low monthly payment” tricked me into feeling financially flexible.____18____Later, I planned a weekend getaway with my family. This time, I chose a reputable platform with clear terms, set a strict budget beforehand, and the platform even sent automatic reminders for payment due dates, and there were no hidden fees at all. It turned out to be incredibly convenient, letting me spread the cost without straining my monthly budget.
After that successful trip, my family and I became BNPL fans.____19____Recently, when we needed to replace our old washing machine, BNPL allowed us to get a high-quality model right away instead of waiting months to save up.
____20____It must be true that every new consumption model has its pros and cons—what matters is how you use it. I recommend that you embrace BNPL wisely, and it might just change your approach to managing expenses for the better.
A. Things would soon change my mind, however.
B. Appealing as it sounded, I was still a little hesitant.
C. In fact, the first experience I had was a total disaster.
D. I must admit that I’ve truly grown to appreciate BNPL.
E. I was, nevertheless, persuaded to give BNPL another try.
F. We’ve used it for everything from home appliances to holiday gifts since then.
G. Even after using BNPL several times, I still can’t decide whether it’s good or not.

It was the first snow of winter, and the wind howled like a wolf outside the window I wrapped my thick scarf tightly around my neck, watching my little sister Lila hop from the sofa to the door, her face pressed against the glass. “Ella, can we go build a snowman Please!” she begged, her big eyes shining like stars.
I hesitated. Lila had caught a cold last week, and Mom warned us not to stay outside too long. But her pouty (嘴的) lips and eager gaze made it hard to say no. “Fine,” I sighed, “but we’ll wear extra clothes, and only for 30 minutes.”
Lila cheered and rushed to grab her coat. But when she pulled open the drawer, her shoulders slumped. “My scarf is gone,” she murmured, searching through the piles of clothes. I remembered seeing it on the clothesline yesterday-probably blown away by the wind. Lila’s eyes were filled with tears. That scarf was a gift from Grandma, woven with soft wool in her favorite pink color.
I took off my own scarf and wrapped it around her neck. “Here, use mine,” I said. Lila’s tears stopped, and she looked up at me in surprise. “But you’ll be cold,” she said. “I’m older, I can handle it,” I smiled, zipping up her coat.
We built a lopsided snowman with a button nose and twig arms, laughing as the snowflakes landed on our hair. When we got home, my nose was red and my cheeks were freezing, but Lila was talking happily about our snowman. That night, I woke up with a running nose and a sore throat — I’d caught a cold.
