Here are four less well-known sites in Britain.
The Giant’s Causeway
Located on the northern coast of Ireland, the Giant’s Causeway is a natural phenomenon that consists of thousands of interlocking basalt (玄武岩) columns. The columns were formed by an ancient volcanic eruption and now create an unforgettable landscape that looks like a path built by giants. Visitors can walk along the Causeway and take in the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Avebury Circle

When Yuan Qiu received his admission letter from Southwestern University, he smiled broadly from the wheelchair he’s used for five years. Then he turned to his mother, Xie Xianlian, and saw she quickly wiped tears away, pretending her eyes were blurred by sand.
The 18-year-old young man is from a poor, rural family in Chongqing. His father died of lung cancer when he was a child. Yuan was diagnosed with progressive muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症) when he was three years old. His older brother, who was paralyzed (瘫痪), died of the same disease at the age of 22. After long-term medication, Yuan decided to stop taking the medicine due to its high cost and there was no sign his health was getting better. The condition worsened as Yuan grew older. He could only walk slowly on flat ground and relied on others to carry him up and down stairs. When he was 14 years old, he could no longer stand up and had to use a wheelchair.
At first, his mother hesitated between continuing Yuan’s education and saving money for treatment. But Yuan was determined. “I must go to school or I will be absolutely useless,” he said. So Xie made a promise to herself: “I will never let my son drop out.” To her relief, Yuan was always willing to help her with farm work as much as he could. Yuan and his mother’s perseverance moved many people and also won the support of his teachers and classmates. “He never asked for more because of his disability,” one of Yuan’s teachers said, “His strong characteristics unconsciously encouraged me and the students.” Yuan’s stepfather also changed his attitude after seeing Yuan’s persistence and aspiration to study and gain knowledge. “I never complain to him, it is a loss that they didn’t get the chance to read,” Yuan said.
Through his own efforts, Yuan scored 670 in the college entrance exam. The Southwestern University said they will arrange a job for Xie, so she can better take care of her son while he is at university.

C
Overlooking the Biblioteca degli Alberi is Milan’s “Vertical (垂直的) Forest”: two residential tower blocks built in 2014 that are covered in 800 trees,4,500 shrubs and 15,000 plants. If this forest was planted on the ground, it would cover 20,000 m2— the size of three and a half football fields.
Each year the trees will absorb 10,000 tons of CO2 and 57 tons of pollutants. They should also produce about 900 tons of oxygen. Boeri’s team of architects says the plants will also decrease the average air temperature, create noise barriers and boost biodiversity by creating a habitat for birds, insects and small animals.
It is not just physical wellbeing that is aided by large green structures in our cities. The team behind Sydney’s 100mhigh “vertical garden” claims it is a new form of “living architecture” that reminds us of “the restorative impact that nature has on our souls”. Just how restorative living near trees and plants is for our souls is open to debate; but studies in Germany have suggested that it can be extremely beneficial for our brains.
Scientists examined brain image sequences (顺序) of 341 elderly residents of Berlin, focusing particularly on the amygdala —the part of the brain that controls our fear responses and is responsible for stress and anxiety disorders. They found that there was strong connection between residents living within 1km of the forests on the edge of the city and those with the healthiest amygdala. A health y amygdala means being less likely to suffer from the stress and anxiety disorders controlled by this part of the brain. Mood and anxiety disorders are up to 56%higher in urban environments when compared to rural locations.
With two-thirds of the world’s population predicted to be living in cities by 2050, Milan’s Vertical Forest might show the world a way to create healthier, happier urban spaces.
8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The area of the city forest.
B. The way of building city forest.
C. The positive influence on the city forest.
D. The expected effect of the city forest.
9. What is the author’s attitude towards the Vertical Forest
A. Favorable. B. Suspicious. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
10. Studies in Germany show that ______.
A. amygdala controls our fear responses
B. living near forests is beneficial for our souls
C. people near the forests are less likely to feel anxious
D. more residents will live in Vertical Forest in the future
11. Which of the following may the author agree with
A. Cities are turning suitable for people to live in.
B. There is a worldwide focus on how to improve biodiversity.
C. Milan’s Vertical Forest becomes an example of urban biodiversity.
D. The Vertical Forest covers the size of three and a half football fields.
D
Food shopping has become a dangerous pursuit. Ready-meals are packed with salt and preservatives (防腐剂), breakfast cereals are sweeter than chocolate bars, and processed meats are packed with nitrite-preservatives, which can form harmful compounds when cooked. A new term is catching on to describe these nutritional bad guys: ultra-processed foods (UPFs). Just how bad are UPFs, and what do they do to us
In his new book, “Ultra-Processed People”, Chris van Tulleken, a doctor and television presenter, argues that UPFs dominate the food supply in rich countries, and are also creeping into diets in low-and middle-income countries.
The concept of UPFs was put forward by Carlos Monteiro, a Brazilian scientist, in 2009.His team observed that although people in Brazil were buying less sugar and oil, rates of obesity and type-2 diabetes (糖尿病) were rising. That was because they were instead eating more sugar, fats and additives in packaged snacks and pre-made meals.
UPFs often go through many complicated industrial processes. That does not make them all unhealthy —a soya-based meat substitute can be part of a balanced meal —but the frequent consumption of UPFs causes a series of issues. Arguably, some UPFs are more alike to industrial products than food. There is plenty of evidence linking many ingredients in UPFs, such as sugar, salt, and saturated fats (反式脂肪), to negative health outcomes.
Yet UPFs are cheap, tasty and abundant, and for those on a tight budget or on specific diets, such as vegan (严格素食主义者), there are often few available alternatives. It is possible to eat well by selecting the right UPFs, such as whole-grain cereals. Government scientists at the American government’s Agricultural Research Service showed it was possible to build a health y diet with 91% of calories from selected UPFs. But Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, criticised the study, saying the researchers had a conflict of interest through their links to the food industry. Better stay cautious in those tricky supermarket walkways.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in Paragraph 1
A. By analyzing certain reasons. B. By comparing different views.
C. By explaining the term of UPFs. D. By providing background information.
13. What makes UPFs so bad for our health
A. People are addicted to them.
B. UPFs contain no nutrition.
C. They are packed with artificial flavors.
D. They are calorie-rich, and nutrient-poor.
14. What does the author want to say about UPFs
A. All UPFs are not healthy. B. UPFs are good for nothing.
C. UPFs are not economical. D. UPFs are part of ready-meals.
15. What’s the opinion of Marion Nestle
A. A healthy diet can certainly be built from UPFs.
B. Think twice before choosing UPFs when shopping.
C. There’s an association between intake of UPFs and cancer.
D. Government scientists represent the interests of consumers.

Your family may have special traditions. Whether making cookies, walking around to enjoy colorful lights, or watching a favorite holiday movie, these traditions can help you feel closer to the people you love. 16 Here’s how to get started.
Think about the traditions your family already has, then write them down. Ask older adults in your family what traditions they remember participating in as children. 17
Next, gather the thoughts you and your family may have for brand-new traditions. 18 For instance, you could discuss making a special once-a-year outing, like going to a nice restaurant or seeing a show.
19 Think about who those people are in your family. They can help you with creating the “guest list” for any special family gathering, picking a date and time, and choosing the setting. They can also help you plan a video call with loved ones who may live far away but still want to share in the fun.
Celebrating traditions is a great way to create family memories that last forever. Consider taking photos while you’re spending time together. If you try a new tradition, take time afterward to reflect on it. Did your family enjoy it Is there anything you would do differently next time The point of a tradition is to like it so much that you want to do it again. 20

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Professional explorer Leo Houlding is no stranger to climbing. He’s been doing it since he was 10 years old and has made many expeditions across the globe including to the very top of Mt. Qomolangma, remote Arctic and Antarctic peaks, Yosemite Valley, and jungles of South America.
In 2020, Leo decided to celebrate his 40th birthday by showing his two children, Jackson and Freya, and wife Jessica, what he loves most: climbing cool mountains and exploring new lands. The family would spend four days together climbing the north ridge (山脊) of Piz Badile (巴迪莱峰), part of the picturesque Alps on the border of Switzerland and Italy. Their destination was the top of Piz Badile, with nearly 11,000 feet tall.
The family have previously climbed a few other mountains in Europe but the Piz Badile climb was harder than the ones they climbed. In 2019, Leo and Jessica, together with their kids Freya and Jackson who were only six and two separately at the time, skied down Les Grandes Platiers in Flaine unassisted and unsupported. Leo reported this was one of his family life goals.
However, Freya wasn’t that confident as expected this time. So Jessica decided to encourage her by telling their dad’s story.
Their dad Leo grew up in the Lakes, a mountainous region in North West England, and started rock climbing at the age of 10. By the time Leo was 16 he had become the British Junior Indoor Climbing Champion. When he was only 18, Leo landed in Yosemite Valley with the similarly youthful Patch Hammond and made a landmark ascent (攀登). Leo is brave and never gives up in the face of difficulty.
