Europe is the perfect place for a holiday. Every corner of the continent is bursting with history, culture and sights. The countries are so very close to one another, and yet so completely different.
Sweden
Sweden is a brilliant destination for a campervan (露营车) holiday, with hundreds of well-appointed camping sites suitable for vehicles. Head north to Lapland in the Arctic Circle and you’ll find true wildernesses where you can truly get close to nature. Head here between June and mid-July and you’ll be able to take in the midnight sunshine. If you’re looking for great nightlife, head to Gothenburg, Stockholm or Malmo.
Germany
There are massive industrial cities, rolling plains, towering mountains, deep forests and long, sparkling rivers. It’s not just what’s to see that makes Germany so great, but the ease of seeing everything. All these wonderful locations are all linked by one of the world’s best road systems.
Scotland
Scotland has something for everyone: cities with rich nightlife, incredible scenery, wonderful lochs and medieval (中世纪的) castles. If you want to get away from it all, then the Highlands are one of the least populated areas in the whole of Europe. Hikers will love the Cairngorms – the largest national park in the UK.
Spain
Spain’s famous for its beach holidays, but it offers so much more than that. With a lovely climate, rich history, excellent architecture, delicious cuisine and friendly locals, Spain has long been a favoured destination for holiday.
25. What is the purpose of this text
A. To explain why the attractions in Europe are world-famous.
B. To show the rich history and culture of the European countries.
C. To tell about the differences between the European countries.

B
While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to complete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.
But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.
No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.
A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he was recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.
Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to Sydney.
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog.
28. From the passage we can learn that the young man ________
A. made his turn to start back pitifully.
B. was skillful in freestyle in the game.
C. swam faster than the average swimmer.
D. was not capable enough to win the medal.
29. The crowd changed their attitudes because ________
A. they felt sorry for the young man.
B. they were moved by the young man.
C. they wanted to show their sympathy.
D. they meant to please the young man.
30. According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means _______.
A. it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills
B. it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself
C. it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors
D. it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals
31. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Compete for Gold!
B. Try again!
C. Break a Record!
D. Go for it!
C
Running on Empty
For almost a century scientists have assumed, tiredness—or exhaustion—in athletes originates(起源于) in the muscles. Precise explanations have varied, but all have been based on the “Limitations Theory”. In other words, muscles tire because they hit a physical limit: they either run out of fuel or oxygen or they drown in harmful by-products(副产品).
In the past few years, however, Timothy Noakes from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, has examined this standard theory. Tiredness, he argues, is caused not by signals springing from overtaxed muscles, but is an emotional response which begins in the brain. The fundamental nature of his new theory is that the brain paces the muscles to keep them well back from the edge of exhaustion. When the brain decides it’s time to quit, it creates unbearable muscle tiredness. This “Central Governor” theory remains controversial, but it does explain many puzzling aspects of athletic performance.
A recent discovery that Noakes calls the “lactic acid paradox” made him start researching this area seriously. Lactic acid is a by-product of exercise, and the increase of it is often mentioned as a cause of tiredness. But when research subjects exercise in certain conditions created artificially, they become tired even though lactic acid levels remain low. Nor has the oxygen content of their blood fallen too low for them to keep going. Obviously, something else was making them tire before they hit either of these physiological limits.
Noakes conducted an experiment with seven cyclists. It has long been known that during exercise, the body never uses 100% of the available muscle fibres(纤维). The amount used varies, but in some tasks such as this cycling test the body calls on about 30%. His team found that as tiredness set in, the electrical activity in cyclist’s legs declined—even when they were making a great effort to cycle as fast as they could.
To Noakes, this was strong evidence that the old theory was wrong. “The cyclists may have felt completely exhausted,” he says, “but their bodies actually had considerable reserves that they could theoretically tap by using a greater amount of the resting fibres.” This, he believes, is the proof that the brain is regulating the pace of the workout to hold the cyclists well back from the point of extreme tiredness.
32. Which of the following is supported by “the Limitations Theory”
A. Tiredness is caused by signals from brain.
B. Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy.
C. The body uses 100% of the muscle fibres in exercise.
D. Athletes become tired though lactic acid levels remain low.
33. Noakes has found out that ___________.
A. muscle fibres control athletes’ movements
B. Lactic acid levels remain high in cycling test
C. mental processes control the symptoms of tiredness
D. different exercises use different amount of muscle fibres
34. It is likely that both theories accept that ___________.
A. lactic acid is produced in muscles during exercise
B. the oxygen content in blood may rise after sports
C. tiredness is a harmful by-product of exercise
D. the energy in human bodies can be balanced
35. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The description of a new test.
B. The explanation of the theory.
C. The puzzling evidence of a study.
D. The whole process of the research.
D
Students meet at the university campus for classes during their 20s. This classical model of time, action and place has traditionally produced famous universities, but it is now challenged by the digitalization of society—which allows everybody who is connected to the Internet to access learning—and by the need to acquire skills in step with fast development of technology. Universities must realize that learning in the 20s won’t be enough.
By teaching foundational knowledge and up-to-date skills, universities need to provide students with the future-proof skills of lifelong learning, not just get them ‘job-ready’. Some universities already play an important role in lifelong learning as they want to keep the value of their diplomas (文凭). This new role comes with a huge set of challenges and needs largely to be invented. One way to start this transformation process could be to go beyond the ‘diploma model’ to adapt university education to lifelong learning. We call this model the lifelong learning passport.
The Bachelor’s degree could be students’ passport to lifelong learning. For the first few years, students would ‘learn to learn’ and get endowed with reasoning skills that remain with them for the rest of their lives. For instance, physics allows students to observe and integrate (融合) observations into models and, sometimes, models into theories or laws that can be used to make predictions. Mathematics is the language used to develop the laws of physics or economy. These two subjects naturally form the basic pillars (支柱) of education in technical universities.
Recent advances in computational methods and data science push us into rethinking science and puters increasingly become the most important actors in processing data and formulating questions, which requires completely new ways of reasoning. Therefore, a new subject integrating computer science, programming, statistics and machine learning should be added to the traditional foundational topics of mathematics and physics. These three pillars would allow you to keep learning technical subjects all your life.
According to this new model, the Master of Science (MSc) would become the first stamp in the lifelong learning journey. The new MSc diploma becomes a set of accomplished projects and a list of technical skills. It is open-ended and must be updated throughout life, as technologies and their applications change faster than ever.
Universities have a fundamental role to play in this journey, and higher education is in for a change. The old university model produced talent and value for society. We are not supporting its abolition (废除) but rather calling for the adaptation of its characteristics to meet the needs of today.
36. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. Technological development challenges the university model.
B. The classical model serves famous universities well.
C. Students don’t meet at campus due to digitalization.
D. Universities continue to improve worker skills.
37. What can be learnt from the passage
A. The students get a lifelong passport with a Bachelor’s degree.
B. The three pillars help with continuous learning in technology.
C. Physics and mathematics are enough for learning technology.
D. MSc programmes are the most important for lifelong learning.
38. What does the underlined phrase “get endowed with” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Be concerned with. B. Make room for.
C. Be equipped with. D. Make preparations for.
39. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Changes to university projects
B. Importance of Lifelong Learning
C. Development of Further Education
D. Necessity to Adapt University Model

What Is a Boy
Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called an “boy”. ____40____.

A
Europe is the perfect place for a holiday. Every corner of the continent is bursting with history, culture and sights. The countries are so very close to one another, and yet so completely different.
Sweden
Sweden is a brilliant destination for a campervan (露营车) holiday, with hundreds of well-appointed camping sites suitable for vehicles. Head north to Lapland in the Arctic Circle and you’ll find true wildernesses where you can truly get close to nature. Head here between June and mid-July and you’ll be able to take in the midnight sunshine. If you’re looking for great nightlife, head to Gothenburg, Stockholm or Malmo.
Germany
There are massive industrial cities, rolling plains, towering mountains, deep forests and long, sparkling rivers. It’s not just what’s to see that makes Germany so great, but the ease of seeing everything. All these wonderful locations are all linked by one of the world’s best road systems.
Scotland
Scotland has something for everyone: cities with rich nightlife, incredible scenery, wonderful lochs and medieval (中世纪的) castles. If you want to get away from it all, then the Highlands are one of the least populated areas in the whole of Europe. Hikers will love the Cairngorms – the largest national park in the UK.

B
While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to complete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.
But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.
No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.
A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he was recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.
Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to Sydney.
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog.
28. From the passage we can learn that the young man ________
A. made his turn to start back pitifully.
B. was skillful in freestyle in the game.
C. swam faster than the average swimmer.
D. was not capable enough to win the medal.
29. The crowd changed their attitudes because ________
A. they felt sorry for the young man.
B. they were moved by the young man.
C. they wanted to show their sympathy.
D. they meant to please the young man.
30. According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means _______.
A. it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills
B. it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself
C. it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors
D. it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals
31. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Compete for Gold!
B. Try again!
C. Break a Record!
D. Go for it!
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文讲述了作者在一次看奥运会游泳比赛时,他看见了惊人的一幕,有个游泳运动员本身的游泳技能不行,但是他却尽自己的全力去拼命完成这次游泳比赛,得到了观众的喝彩。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold—his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor. (当他重新浮出水面时,很明显他并不是为了夺金——他的手臂在挥动,试图游自由泳。人群开始大笑起来。很明显,这个人不是奖牌竞争者)”可知,他的游姿势不对,并非擅长自由泳,导致大家都在笑话他,觉得他不是奖牌竞争者;文章第四段“I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out. (我听到人群开始嘲笑这个可怜的人,他显然正度过一个艰难的时光。最后轮到他往回游了。真可怜。他拼命地打了几下,你可以看出他已经筋疲力尽了)”可知这段游泳对他来说是很难的,已经筋疲力尽了,综上所述,推知他没有足够的能力去争夺奖牌;故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he was recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors. (整整超过了一般游泳运动员一分钟,这个年轻人终于完成了他的比赛。人群变得疯狂起来。你会认为他赢得了金牌,他也应该获得。尽管他是奥运会历史上速度最慢的运动员之一,但这个人比其他任何竞争者都更有勇气)”可知大家改变态度并不是因为他取得了好成绩,而是被他在能力相当不足的情况下能坚持完成比赛的勇气所感动;故选B项。
【30题详解】
句意猜测题。根据文章最后一段“In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog. (在一场比赛中,当运动员们觉得自己出于某种原因被骗走金牌而摘掉银牌时,或者当他们在竞争对手面前表现得如此骄傲时,观看一个处于劣势的人是很不错的)”可知某些运动员认为被骗取了金牌,因而在对手面前摘掉银牌(以示不满),或他们在竞争对手面前表现得很骄傲时,与这种现象相比,这个年轻人挑战自己的勇气是多么令人惊叹啊,尽管他的能力不足,故推知划线句子“it is nice to watch an underdog.”的意思是“看着一个普通人挑战自我是很令人惊叹的”故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文讲述了一个游泳运动员本身的游泳技能不行,但是他却尽自己的全力去拼命完成这次游泳比赛,得到了观众喝彩的故事。这个例子旨在说明人应该努力挑战自己,全力以赴,不仅仅是为取得金牌;故选项D“Go for it! (全力以赴)”符合本文的中心思想,适合作为本文标题;故选D项。
C
Running on Empty
For almost a century, scientists have assumed, tiredness—or exhaustion—in athletes originates(起源于) in the muscles. Precise explanations have varied, but all have been based on the “Limitations Theory”. In other words, muscles tire because they hit a physical limit: they either run out of fuel or oxygen or they drown in harmful by-products(副产品).
In the past few years, however, Timothy Noakes from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, has examined this standard theory. Tiredness, he argues, is caused not by signals springing from overtaxed muscles, but is an emotional response which begins in the brain. The fundamental nature of his new theory is that the brain paces the muscles to keep them well back from the edge of exhaustion. When the brain decides it’s time to quit, it creates unbearable muscle tiredness. This “Central Governor” theory remains controversial, but it does explain many puzzling aspects of athletic performance.
A recent discovery that Noakes calls the “lactic acid paradox” made him start researching this area seriously. Lactic acid is a by-product of exercise, and the increase of it is often mentioned as a cause of tiredness. But when research subjects exercise in certain conditions created artificially, they become tired even though lactic acid levels remain low. Nor has the oxygen content of their blood fallen too low for them to keep going. Obviously, something else was making them tire before they hit either of these physiological limits.
Noakes conducted an experiment with seven cyclists. It has long been known that during exercise, the body never uses 100% of the available muscle fibres(纤维). The amount used varies, but in some tasks such as this cycling test the body calls on about 30%. His team found that as tiredness set in, the electrical activity in cyclist’s legs declined—even when they were making a great effort to cycle as fast as they could.
To Noakes, this was strong evidence that the old theory was wrong. “The cyclists may have felt completely exhausted,” he says, “but their bodies actually had considerable reserves that they could theoretically tap by using a greater amount of the resting fibres.” This, he believes, is the proof that the brain is regulating the pace of the workout to hold the cyclists well back from the point of extreme tiredness.
32. Which of the following is supported by “the Limitations Theory”
A. Tiredness is caused by signals from brain.
B. Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy.
C. The body uses 100% of the muscle fibres in exercise.
D. Athletes become tired though lactic acid levels remain low.
33. Noakes has found out that ___________.
A. muscle fibres control athletes’ movements
B. Lactic acid levels remain high in cycling test
C. mental processes control the symptoms of tiredness
D. different exercises use different amount of muscle fibres
34. It is likely that both theories accept that ___________.
A. lactic acid is produced in muscles during exercise
B. the oxygen content in blood may rise after sports
C. tiredness is a harmful by-product of exercise
D. the energy in human bodies can be balanced
35. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The description of a new test.
B. The explanation of the theory.
C. The puzzling evidence of a study.
D. The whole process of the research.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了关于运动的极限理论。该理论认为人们之所以感到疲惫是因为肌肉达到了极限,而疲劳是由大脑控制的。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段的In other words, muscles tire because they hit a physical limit: they either run out of fuel or oxygen or they drown in harmful by-products(副产品)可知极限理论认为人们会感到疲倦时因为到达了肌肉的极限。B. Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy.(运动员感到疲惫是因为他们用完了自己的能量)符合以上说法,故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的Tiredness, he argues, is caused not by signals springing from overtaxed muscles, but is an emotional response which begins in the brain.可知Timothy Noakes认为是人的大脑控制了肌肉是否感到疲倦。C. mental processes control the symptoms of tiredness(精神过程控制疲倦的症状)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段的The fundamental nature of his new theory is that the brain paces the muscles to keep them well back from the edge of exhaustion. When the brain decides it’s time to quit, it creates unbearable muscle tiredness.和第三段的Lactic acid is a by-product of exercise, and the increase of it is often mentioned as a cause of tiredness.可推测连个理论都认为lactic acid是运动时产生的。A. lactic acid is produced in muscles during exercise(运动时肌肉离会产生lactic acid)符合以上推测,故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据本段的Lactic acid is a by-product of exercise, and the increase of it is often mentioned as a cause of tiredness. But when research subjects exercise in certain conditions created artificially, they become tired even though lactic acid levels remain low.可知lactic acid paradox理论认为人们在运动的时候lactic的升高会使人疲倦,但令人费解的是当lactic还很低的时候人们也会感到疲劳。C. The puzzling evidence of a study.(一个研究令人费解的证据)可以作为本段主旨,故选C项。
D
Students meet at the university campus for classes during their 20s. This classical model of time, action and place has traditionally produced famous universities, but it is now challenged by the digitalization of society—which allows everybody who is connected to the Internet to access learning—and by the need to acquire skills in step with fast development of technology. Universities must realize that learning in the 20s won’t be enough.
By teaching foundational knowledge and up-to-date skills, universities need to provide students with the future-proof skills of lifelong learning, not just get them ‘job-ready’. Some universities already play an important role in lifelong learning as they want to keep the value of their diplomas (文凭). This new role comes with a huge set of challenges and needs largely to be invented. One way to start this transformation process could be to go beyond the ‘diploma model’ to adapt university education to lifelong learning. We call this model the lifelong learning passport.
The Bachelor’s degree could be students’ passport to lifelong learning. For the first few years, students would ‘learn to learn’ and get endowed with reasoning skills that remain with them for the rest of their lives. For instance, physics allows students to observe and integrate (融合) observations into models and, sometimes, models into theories or laws that can be used to make predictions. Mathematics is the language used to develop the laws of physics or economy. These two subjects naturally form the basic pillars (支柱) of education in technical universities.
Recent advances in computational methods and data science push us into rethinking science and puters increasingly become the most important actors in processing data and formulating questions, which requires completely new ways of reasoning. Therefore, a new subject integrating computer science, programming, statistics and machine learning should be added to the traditional foundational topics of mathematics and physics. These three pillars would allow you to keep learning technical subjects all your life.
According to this new model, the Master of Science (MSc) would become the first stamp in the lifelong learning journey. The new MSc diploma becomes a set of accomplished projects and a list of technical skills. It is open-ended and must be updated throughout life, as technologies and their applications change faster than ever.
Universities have a fundamental role to play in this journey, and higher education is in for a change. The old university model produced talent and value for society. We are not supporting its abolition (废除) but rather calling for the adaptation of its characteristics to meet the needs of today.
36. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. Technological development challenges the university model.
B. The classical model serves famous universities well.
C. Students don’t meet at campus due to digitalization.
D. Universities continue to improve worker skills.
37. What can be learnt from the passage
A. The students get a lifelong passport with a Bachelor’s degree.
B. The three pillars help with continuous learning in technology.
C. Physics and mathematics are enough for learning technology.
D. MSc programmes are the most important for lifelong learning.
38. What does the underlined phrase “get endowed with” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Be concerned with. B. Make room for.
C. Be equipped with. D. Make preparations for.
39. What’s the best title of the passage
A Changes to university projects
B. Importance of Lifelong Learning
C. Development of Further Education
D. Necessity to Adapt University Model
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C 39. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为何大学应采用终身学习的新模式以适应时代需要。
【36题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“This classical model of time, action and place has traditionally produced famous universities, but it is now challenged by the digitalization of society—which allows everybody who is connected to the Internet to access learning—and by the need to acquire skills in step with fast development of technology. (这种时间、行为和地点的经典模式传统上造就了著名的大学,但现在它受到了社会数字化的挑战——它允许每个连接到互联网的人都能获得学习的机会——以及需要获得与技术快速发展同步的技能。)”可知,本段主要介绍技术发展对大学模式的挑战。故选A。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Therefore, a new subject integrating computer science, programming, statistics and machine learning should be added to the traditional foundational topics of mathematics and physics. These three pillars would allow you to keep learning technical subjects all your life. (因此,在传统的数学和物理基础学科之外,应该增加一门集计算机科学、编程、统计学和机器学习于一体的新学科。这三大支柱将使你一生都能不断学习技术科目。)”可知,三大支柱有助于技术的持续学习。故选B。
【38题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文举例“For instance, physics allows students to observe and integrate (融合) observations into models and, sometimes, models into theories or laws that can be used to make predictions. (例如,物理学允许学生观察并将观察结果整合到模型中,有时,将模型整合到可以用于预测的理论或定律中。)”可知,学生们将“学会学习”,并被赋予了推理技能。所以get endowed with为“赋予;具备”之意。故选C。
【39题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Universities have a fundamental role to play in this journey, and higher education is in for a change. The old university model produced talent and value for society. We are not supporting its abolition (废除) but rather calling for the adaptation of its characteristics to meet the needs of today.(在这一过程中,大学扮演着重要的角色,高等教育也将迎来变革。旧的大学模式为社会培养人才和价值。我们不支持废除它,而是呼吁调整它的特点以满足今天的需要。)”及全文可知,文章主要介绍为何大学应采用终身学习的新模式以适应时代需要。所以“Necessity to Adapt University Model(调整大学模式的必要性)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。

【答案】
Dear Patrice,
I’m sorry to hear that you have been in hospital for several days.
I’m writing this letter on behalf of the whole class, who deeply miss you and care you. We are grateful for everything you’ve done for us.
Actually, it is easy for a person like you to get sick, who hasn’t adapted to the new environment, suffers from great pressure and lacks exercise. Here are some tips for you.
First of all, it is a good idea to take part in some social activities, which will help you learn more about the local culture and custom. In addition, you should try to reduce the working pressure by listening to music and making more friends. Last but not least, you’d exercise more instead of sitting in the office all the time.
Hope our advice will help you lead a healthy lifestyle and hope you would recover soon.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
