Best Cities for Solo Travel in Asia
Asia is increasingly popular for solo travelers seeking a mind-blowing cultural experience. With more than
forty countries, choosing the right destination can be tough. Here are four safe, beautiful cities worth exploring.
Best budget stop: Chiang Mai, Thailand
Thailand is known for its excellent tourist facilities. In Chiang Mai, prices are low and local people are
friendly and patient. You can visit many beautiful temples, wildlife sanctuaries, or even get a traditional sak yant
tattoo. The city also offers delicious street food and lively night markets.
Splurge-worthy destination: Singapore
Singapore is clean, walkable, and very safe. You can see tree sculptures that produce oxygen and canals where
otters swim. The famous Sands building boasts the world’s highest rooftop infinity pool. As a cultural mix of
Malay, Chinese, and Indian traditions, it offers diverse delicious food. However, experiencing the best here can be
expensive, making it ideal for travelers with a larger budget.
Most unexpected culture: Varanasi, India
Varanasi is one of the holiest cities for Hindus. You can visit the Ganges River and the Durga Temple. The city
is densely populated and has a unique spiritual atmosphere that differs greatly from modern metropolises. If you
want to learn about a different faith and way of life, Varanasi offers profound cultural insights. Be prepared for a
busy and lively environment.
Big-city wonders: Chongqing, China
Chongqing is a huge city of over 22 million, known as a “3D city” where buildings have multiple ground
floors — sometimes the ninth floor is ground level. Many skyscrapers have shops up to the 7th floor and homes
above. Basic Mandarin is needed as English is not widely spoken. It is perfect for adventurous solo travelers who
enjoy modern urban landscapes.
21. In what way is Singapore different from the other three cities in the text
A. Its crowded and spiritual atmosphere.
B. Its mix of cultures and futuristic attractions.
C. Its budget-friendly tourist facilities.
D. Its multiple ground-floor buildings.
22. What challenge might a solo traveler face when visiting Chongqing
A. Communicating without speaking Chinese.
B. Finding budget-friendly accommodations.
C. Getting used to the spiritual atmosphere.
D. Visiting modern skyscrapers.
23. What is the main purpose of this text

Even after suffering a serious leg injury that once made her miss important competitions and nearly end her
career, U. S. skiing star Lindsey Vonn is still determined to prepare for her fifth Olympic Games at the age of 41.
Her injury was so severe that she had to undergo a knee replacement surgery. Facing scathing criticism from
some retired skiers who doubted her decision to come back, she insisted on persistent daily training, from basic
recovery exercises to high-intensity skiing drills, and trained at Copper Mountain in Colorado to regain her
competitive strength.
Despite failing to complete three of her last six events, she never gave up trying. Her strong will and
unremitting efforts have helped her get back to competitive racing — she even achieved fourth and sixth places in
two World Cup races in Austria shortly after her comeback. This inspiring journey has become one of the most
popular stories before the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Games.
In an episode of the program I Never Knew That, editor Tyler Piccotti deeply talks about Vonn’s long-lasting
friendship with her skiing idol Picabo Street. They first met at a skiing training camp when Vonn was only 9 years
old, and Picabo’s excellent skills and never-give-up spirit left a deep impression on the little girl — this spirit has
supported Vonn through every difficult moment of her comeback. Recently, the two skiing stars have worked
together on a documentary film, sharing their stories and experiences in skiing, including Vonn’s arduous recovery
process and her unwavering determination to return to the Olympic stage. Together, they are regarded as one of the
most successful pairs in skiing history, winning numerous honors and encouraging many young skiers. Vonn once
said her return comes from her love for the sport and desire for speed, and she treats the 2026 Olympics as her
potential final goal.
People who want to know more about Vonn’s life and skiing career can visit Biography. com, where they can
also learn about other famous skier Mikaela Shiffrin and many other outstanding U. S. Olympic athletes. Let’s
enjoy the exciting Winter Games and look forward to Vonn’s wonderful performance in her fifth Olympic journey.
24. What did Lindsey Vonn do to regain her competitive strength after the injury
A. She made a documentary to record her recovery process.
B. She received special training from Picabo Street every day.
C. She gave up some difficult races to focus on the Olympic Games.
D. She trained hard daily from basic recovery to high-intensity drills.
25. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Lindsey Vonn gave up racing because of her leg injury.
B. Picabo Street’s spirit was a key support for Vonn’s comeback.
C. Vonn’s documentary with Picabo Street has won many honors.
D. Lindsey Vonn’s knee replacement surgery made her lose confidence at first.
26. Where is the passage most probably taken from
A. A sports magazine.
B. A documentary film.
C. The website Biography. com.
D. An episode of the program I Never Knew That.
27. What is the best title for the passage
A. The Friendship Between Two Skiing Stars
B. Lindsey Vonn’s Hard Recovery from Leg Injury
C. A Documentary about Lindsey Vonn and Her Idol
D. Lindsey Vonn: Fighting for Her Fifth Olympic Dream
C
Nowadays, machines can not only defeat humans in chess but also surpass them in debate. An article
published on December 19, 2024, reported that the latest AI system from IBM Research, Project Debater, won a
debate held at IBM’s office in San Francisco, where it defeated two top human debaters: Dan Zafrir, chairman of
the Israel International Debate Association, and Noa Ovadia, the 2016 Israeli National Debate Champion. This
demonstrates that since its first public debut in 2019, Project Debater has continued to evolve and hold public
demonstrations, marking steady progress in its capabilities.
Despite this remarkable performance, Project Debater still has notable shortcomings. It extracts sentences
from its document database and pre-prepared arguments, then strings them together. This approach can lead to
mistakes that no human would make. Although such flaws are likely to be addressed in the future, they reveal a
core issue. As noted by Kristian Hammond, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at
Northwestern University, “The system never reaches a point where it truly understands what it is discussing.”
What Hammond highlights is the problem of meaning — a crucial factor that distinguishes even the least
intelligent humans from the most advanced machines. A computer operates on symbols; its program sets rules to
transform one sequence of symbols into another, but it does not assign meaning to those symbols. In fact, meaning
is irrelevant to a computer. Humans also use symbols when thinking, speaking, reading, and writing, but for
humans, meaning is paramount. When we communicate, we convey meaning. What matters is not merely the
surface arrangement of symbols, but their inner essence — not just how they are structured, but what they
represent.
Meaning arises from social interaction, not computation. This kind of interaction shapes the content of
symbols in our minds. The rules that give meaning to symbols exist not only in our brains but also within society
— in social memory, norms, and relationships. It is this factor that sets humans apart from machines. Therefore, no
matter how impressive Project Debater may seem, the tradition of thinking and debate pioneered by Socrates and
Confucius will never come to an end with the advancement of artificial intelligence.
28. Why does the author mention Dan Zafrir and Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph
A. To explain the primary function of the software.
B. To emphasize the fairness of the human-machine contest.
C. To demonstrate the high level of Project Debater’s ability.
D. To illustrate the high level of the human opponents in the debate.
29. What does the underlined word “flaws” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. brilliant performances B. hidden disadvantages
C. minor imperfections D. fundamental breakthroughs
30. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond
A. Establish its own rules for debate.
B. Generate human-like speech fluently.
C. Recognize and use complex vocabulary.
D. Comprehend the meaning behind symbols.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards AI replacing human thinking
A. Skeptical B. Optimistic C. Ambiguous D. Neutral
D
In the contemporary interconnected world, the concept of national security has fundamentally evolved,
extending well beyond its traditional focus on military defense and territorial integrity. It now involves a broad
range of critical domains, including economic stability, cybersecurity, data protection, and environmental
conservation. This comprehensive and integrated perspective, widely recognized as the holistic view of national
security, emphasizes that effectively safeguarding a nation’s core interests demands well-coordinated and constant
efforts from all sectors of society — political, technological, and social.
While foundational elements like border protection remain indispensable, the landscape of threats has
diversified significantly. Non-traditional challenges, such as advanced cyberattacks, large-scale data breaches, and
accelerating environmental degradation, become much more important. A clear and serious example occurred in
2020 when a major financial institution suffered a severe data breach, resulting in the theft of vast amounts of
sensitive customer information. This incident clearly exposed systemic weaknesses within digital infrastructures,
underscoring their potential as a major national security risk. To address these challenges, countries like China have
implemented a series of legal measures and technological innovation.
On the legal front, strong and effective legislation has been established, notably the Cybersecurity Law
enacted in 2017 and the Data Security Law implemented in 2021. These laws are designed to strengthen the
protection of critical information systems and ensure the privacy and security of personal and national data.
Technologically, the integration of advanced tools has transformed security operations. The government has
put into use artificial intelligence and real-time monitoring systems to significantly enhance monitoring capabilities.
In remote and geographically demanding regions, such as parts of Inner Mongolia, authorities now utilize aerial
drones and satellite imagery to overcome the limitations of traditional methods, thereby greatly improving the
efficiency and coverage of border control.
Beyond government efforts, public participation is vital. Citizens are encouraged to develop a strong sense of
security awareness and to recognize that their vigilance contributes to national stability. Educational campaigns,
such as National Security Education Day (observed annually on April 15), help raise awareness of potential risks
and legal responsibilities. Schools organize lectures and drills to teach students how to identify online fraud and
report suspicious activities online.
Looking ahead, experts predict that emerging technologies like quantum computing and artificial intelligence
will present both opportunities and new security challenges. Therefore, maintaining national security will require
not only strong institutional frameworks but also continuous innovation and active societal engagement. Ultimately,
national security is a shared responsibility that demands collaboration between the government, enterprises, and
every citizen.
32. What is the characteristic of the holistic view of national security
A. It prioritizes military strength above the other security concerns.
B. It mainly centers on military protection and territorial completeness.
C. It recognizes that security threats are limited to traditional military domain.
D. It calls for sustained, cross-sector collaboration to protect national interests.
33. What did the 2020 data breach incident reveal
A. The Cybersecurity Law was already in place.
B. Digital systems still have security weaknesses.
C. Traditional monitoring methods are still effective.
D. The financial institution was well-prepared for cyberattacks.
34. What measures has China taken to enhance national security
A. Relying solely on traditional methods for border monitoring.
B. Enacting the Cybersecurity Law in 2021 to ensure data privacy.
C. Implementing the Data Security Law in 2017 to protect digital systems.
D. Using drones and satellite imagery for border monitoring in remote regions.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To provide a detailed history of national security laws.
B. To describe the technological advancements in security.
C. To argue for an all-in-one approach to national security.
D. To criticize the current state of cybersecurity measures.

How to Develop a Strong Work Ethic
A strong work ethic is the foundation of all meaningful labor and achievement. It is not merely about hard
work, but about purpose, commitment, and excellence. Cultivating work ethic requires conscious effort and a shift
in mindset. 36
37 Many people view work as a burden, which often leads to procrastination and half-hearted effort.
However, those with a strong work ethic see labor as an opportunity for self-improvement and contribution,
knowing that every task builds character and reliability. By reframing your perspective, you can find inner
motivation beyond external rewards.
Discipline is the basis of a solid work ethic. It means placing emphasis on responsibilities over immediate
pleasure and staying focused even when motivation declines. 38 This might involve creating a structured
schedule, eliminating distractions, or setting clear boundaries between work and leisure. True discipline is about
consistency — showing up and giving your best effort, even on difficult days.
Taking ownership of your work is another crucial element. This means not only completing assigned tasks but
also going the extra mile to ensure quality. 39 It involves anticipating problems, taking initiative, and
holding yourself responsible for the outcome. Taking pride in your labor may lead to better results and personal
growth.
Finally, embrace challenges and learn from failure. Labor is rarely smooth sailing; obstacles and mistakes are
inevitable. 40 Instead of being discouraged by setbacks, view them as valuable learning experiences. This
resilience not only strengthens your work ethic but also equips you with the mental strength to tackle greater
challenges in life.
In essence, a strong work ethic is the conscious choice to honor labor, respect effort, and strive for continuous
improvement in all that you do.
A. It starts with changing your attitude toward work.
B. It is these very difficulties that build character and competence, though.
C. This means avoiding the temptation to cut corners or do the bare minimum.
D. Developing self-discipline requires setting realistic goals and tracking progress.
E. Putting this principle into practice, however, requires several concrete strategies.
F. To build this discipline, you must learn to manage your time and energy effectively.
G. However, understanding why it matters is just as important as knowing how to develop it.

Mr. Thompson looked to be in his early eighties. As a mother of a teenage girl, I had just moved into the small
apartment above his ground-floor unit with my husband, and my daughter Sophie. The first day, Mr. Thompson
shuffled out of his door, leaning on a wooden cane. He glanced up at Sophie, who was helping carry boxes, and
then at me, saying gruffly, “Make sure that girl doesn’t drop anything on my balcony!”
Our balconies faced each other across a narrow alley, separated by a low railing, so I didn’t see why he was
concerned. Still, I replied politely, “Don’t worry, we’ll be careful.”
The next morning, while Sophie was practicing singing in the living room, we heard a heavy knock on the
shared wall. “Too loud!” Mr. Thompson shouted from below.
That afternoon, Sophie and her cousin were playing hide and seek in the ground-floor garden. Within
moments, they came back inside. Sophie said Mr. Thompson had yelled at them to stop, claiming they might break
his flower pots. I was irritated and went down to tell him that if there was a problem, he should talk to me first, not
shout at Sophie. As I turned to leave, I bumped into Mrs. Parker, who lived next door.
“You’ve met Mr. Thompson,” she chuckled. “Don’t take it personally. His wife passed away last year. He
spends all day tending those potted plants, waiting for his son, who only calls when he wants him to sign papers.
He’s impatient and never stays long.”
I felt a pang of sympathy. Yet Mr. Thompson kept finding faults — complaining when our walking back and
forth shook the wall, or when we laughed too loudly during dinner.
One Saturday, we held a small housewarming lunch at home. While I was arranging plates of food, I noticed
movement near Mr. Thompson’s balcony. Looking up, I saw him standing still, watching the crowd of relatives
chatting and laughing. His usual stern face softened into something wistful and lonely. I suddenly realized how
much he was missing.

After a few seconds’ hesitation, I approached his house. I knocked, and the door creaked open. Mr. Thompson
stood there, gripping his wooden cane, his face guarded. “What is it ” he asked gruffly. “We’re having a
housewarming lunch,” I said with a warm smile, “and we’d love you to join us.” He blinked, taken aback, and
muttered something about not being good company. I smiled and told him that didn’t matter. He fell silent, then
gave a small nod, the faintest trace of surprise softening his wrinkled face.
Seeing Mr. Thompson step inside, Sophie hid her surprise. She pulled out a chair and placed a plate of cookies
before him, offering a welcoming smile. He hesitated, then took one, chewing slowly as his guarded expression
gave way to quiet contentment. Amid laughter and chatter, he gradually relaxed, his eyes following Sophie. For the
first time, he made no complaint. He paused at the door and looked back, his face no longer stern but touched with
gratitude. Our laughter echoed not only from our home but also from Mr. Thompson’s heart.

M: Well, I’m not sure. I think it’s a bit boring. I think a barbecue on the beach would be more fun.
W: Yes, I agree, but it’s quite a lot of work. Some one has to stand there and cook all night. I think we should go to
a restaurant.
M: That’s true, but it’s quite expensive to go to a restaurant.
W: Well, what about having a party at someone’s house We could order a pizza or just have some hamburgers. But
we could throw all the rubbish away afterward.
M: I suppose so. I think a fancy-dress party is a good idea. We could have a competition and decide who is wearing
the best clothes. And for food, everyone could bring a different dish. That way we can share the work
W: Yes, you’re right. I think that’s the best idea too.

M: Hello madam. Have you got a few minutes to tell me what you saw
W: Yes, no problem I was standing over here, near the bus stop. I was on my way to get something for lunch and
was about to walk as the light turned green. That’s when I saw the red car come out from the crossing over there.
M: You don’t happen to know what time it happened, do you
W: Well, I left work for my lunch break at one and it’s only about ten minutes’ walk away. So it might have been
about ten past one. However, I went into a shop for something, so it was probably closer to one fifteen.
M: Did you get a view of who was in the car
W: There were three of them, two in the front and one in the back They came speeding out of the side road and hit
that lady’s bicycle. Is she OK
M: She seems fine; the bike doesn’t look too good, though. OK, thanks for your time.
