The Angel Hotel review: A heavenly place to stay in Abergavenny
One of Wales’s loveliest small towns has one of its loveliest small hotels and they even have an option for you to stay within the grounds of Abergavenny Castle. However, the Walnut Inn’s owners have another place you need to know about the award-winning Angel Hotel, a delightful place in the very heart of the town center. Its location makes it the perfect place to stay.
We absolutely love it: it is an ideal mix of a lovely self-catering (自助式) place with the stress-free ease of a hotel stay. And speaking of easing the stress, they’ll even lend you a car if you arrive by train: the hotel has a little electric vehicle called a “Twizy”, which guests can use during their stay.
● Food and drink
The beautifully decorated Oak Room Restaurant provides a varied menu from breakfast in the morning to dinner in the evening. On the menu, guests will find dishes made with quality local produce. More informal dinner surroundings are available in the Foxhunter bar — full of comfortable leather sofas. It offers a range of beers and wines.
● What to do
For walking, cycling and climbing, Abergavenny is a perfect base on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, where there are many things to do. Three towering mountains surround the town, all of which — including the dramatic Sugar Loaf — can be reached on foot. If you want to do all of them in a day, it’s easily done in the Angel’s “Twizy” electric car.
● Don’t miss
Abergavenny has plenty of interesting little shops and cafés, including a large Italian-Welsh deli (熟食店), but the highlight is the covered market. It’s an interesting place to visit for a couple of hours.
The Angel Hotel, Abergavenny, has rooms from 95 — you can enquire via www.angelabergavenny.com, or call 01873857121.
P. S. vehicle: a thing that is used for transporting people or goods from one place to another, such as a car or lorry/ truck.

Elon Musk is a symbol of passion, hard work and success. A person may work hard in his life, but when hard work goes along with passion and a new idea, then something is created that astonishes the world. As the founder of big companies like PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla Motors, Elon Musk is a guide and inspiration for the youth around the world.
Elon Musk was born on June 28 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa. He was the eldest of three children. His father Errol Musk, a British-born South African, was an engineer. Musk spent his childhood in South Africa and at the age of 9, he got his first personal computer. This got Elon interested in programming and he started to learn on his own. At the age of 12, he made his first computer game, Blaster, which earned him $500 when he sold the source code to a magazine.
When he was 17, he decided to leave home and had wanted to move to the United States after graduating from a secondary school in Pretoria. However, he was unable to move to the United States. In 1989, Elon Musk moved to Canada, where his mother’s relatives lived. After obtaining Canadian citizenship, Musk went to Montreal. Due to a lack of money, he found a low-paying job. At the age of 19, he entered Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, studying there for two years. Finally, in 1992, his dream came true—he moved to the United States.
As a teenager, Musk struggled with depression. But then he realized that the most important thing was presenting himself with the right questions. The day he started doing this, everything started to get easier.
Musk thought that a human being had to expand the limits of his consciousness—to ask the right questions and get answers to them; thus he asked the best question of all: what will have the greatest impact on the future of humans Musk found that these things were the Internet and space exploration.
The life of Elon Musk is inspiring. He found success on the Internet, without much formal learning. By reading books and using his willpower and dedication, he reached a level of knowledge that is difficult to imagine. He did not give up until he achieved his dreams. Elon Musk truly stands out among other billionaires because of his leadership abilities, positive attitude, ability to know when to take risks, and belief in futuristic technologies.
19. According to the passage, Elon Musk gained knowledge of computer by ________.
A. teaching himself B. learning from his father
C. taking online courses D. studying in Queens University
20. What made things easier for Elon Musk when he suffered from depression
A. Expanding knowledge by reading books. B. Asking himself the right questions.
C. Achieving success on the Internet. D. Designing computer games.
21. What can we learn from the passage
A. It’s never too late to learn. B. Youth means limitless possibilities.
C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. He who doesn’t advance falls backward.
22. Which words can best describe Elon Musk according to the passage
A. Optimistic and generous. B. Ambitious and determined.
C. Independent and helpful. D. Adventurous and realistic.

A new report from the World Wildlife Fund(WWF) and the Zoological Society of London found Earth’s biodiversity (生物多样性) is decreasing through years of data on thousands of wildlife population s across the world. According to the data, animal population s across the world decreased by an average of 69% between 1970 and 2018.
Experts say the rapid loss of biodiversity is a serious and worrying sign of what’s to come for the natural world. “The message is clear and the lights are flashing red,” said WWF International Director General Marco Lambertini.
Many scientists believe that the main reason of biodiversity drop may be land-use changes driven by human activities such as the development of basic facilities, energy production and deforestation. But the report suggests that climate change, which has had a wide impact on plant and animal species globally, could become the leading cause of biodiversity loss if rising temperatures aren’t limited to 1.5℃.
Lambertini said biodiversity loss and climate change are already responsible for a series of problems for humans, including death and homelessness from extreme weather, a lack of food and water and an increase in the spread of specific diseases. But the terrible news comes with signs of hope: Experts say there are possible solutions to the loss of biodiversity. Solutions range from protecting forests to establishing a cross-border trade system in Africa, the report said.
WWF chief scientist Rebecca Shaw said that humans have the opportunity to change how they do things to benefit nature. “Little things that we can do every day can change the direction of these population declines,” said Shaw.
What little things can be done For instance, we can start from reducing waste in our daily lives. Simple actions like recycling paper, plastic, and glass can have a profound impact on the environment. By minimizing waste, we lessen the demand for raw materials which in turn reduces the pressure on natural habitats that are often destroyed by the industrial development.
23. How do the experts feel about the rapid loss of biodiversity
A. Anxious. B. Confused.
C. Confident. D. Depressed.
24. According to the report, what would contribute to biodiversity loss most
A. Less production of food.
B. Developing basic facilities.
C. Uncontrolled rising temperatures.
D. Declining plant and animal species.
25. What is the main purpose of the 4th paragraph
A. To explore the causes for a range of humans’ problems.
B. To introduce some potential methods to promote biodiversity.
C. To discuss the importance of the cross-border trade system in Africa.
D. To present the problems caused by biodiversity loss and climate change.
26. What is the best title for the passage
A. Pave the Way for a Simple Lifestyle
B. Take a Step to Push Energy Production
C. Raise the Voice to Ban Land-use Changes
D Lend a Hand to Slower Biodiversity Loss
D

In the beginning，I dared myself to make a difference in the life of another person．Now that our project is over，I realize that I have affected not only one life，but ten．With our efforts，ten young boys and girls will now be able to further their education．
