Passage 1
Slow Down to Enjoy Real Vacations
Many travelers return from vacations more worn out than refreshed. Packed itineraries, long transit time and endless decision-making make modern travel feel exhausting rather than relaxing. 1._______________ Countless netizens complain that their tightly arranged trips are more like tiring military training than restorative getaways.
The root of travel tiredness mainly falls into three aspects. 2._______________ Most people have limited vacation days, so they tend to squeeze as many scenic spots and local snacks as possible into their short holidays, hoping to “get value” from every trip. This greedy mindset turns relaxation into a rushed task.
Besides physical tiredness, mental exhaustion also ruins travel experience. 3._______________ When traveling with friends or family, people constantly need to balance different preferences and reach agreements on routes, meals and accommodation. The repeated choices and coordination lead to serious decision fatigue.
Fortunately, we can change the situation with simple and practical methods. 4._______________ Instead of following popular online checklists blindly, travelers are advised to cut down their plans, leave enough buffer time and focus on experiencing a small number of places deeply.
Moreover, stop regarding travel as a task that must be perfectly completed. 5._______________ Allowing temporary schedule changes or even quiet “wasted time” helps people free themselves from pressure and truly enjoy the pleasure of vacation.
选项：
A. First, the anxiety of limited holidays causes over-packed travel plans.
B. In fact, slow travel brings far more joy than rushed sightseeing.
C. Recently, tiring travel has become a heated online topic nationwide.
D. Group travel often brings unavoidable mental internal consumption.
E. The key is to simplify travel plans and travel at a relaxed pace.
F. Many young people refuse to take tight and exhausting travel schedules.

Passage 2
Early Morning Awakening and Your Mood
Many people wake up repeatedly between 2 and 4 a.m. and struggle to fall asleep again. This condition, called early morning awakening, is far more common than people realize. 1._______________ It is not just a small sleep trouble, but a possible warning sign of mental or physical health problems.
Experts divide early morning awakening into two different types. 2._______________ If you feel energetic and stay in a good mood all day after waking up early, you do not need to worry. However, if you feel tired and low-spirited every day, your sleep cycle has been broken. Long-term mental pressure is the leading cause of this uncomfortable situation.
3._______________ The chemical serotonin in our brain controls sleep quality and mood. Stress and depression will cut down its production. Without enough serotonin, people cannot stay in deep sleep and tend to wake up hours ahead of their usual time. Medical experts also point out that early waking is a typical sign of depression.
It is necessary to tell daily low spirits apart from clinical depression. Temporary unhappiness won’t stop you from finishing daily work or social activities. 4._______________ They lose concentration, refuse to meet others, and even consider simple tasks tiring.
Luckily, several practical ways can improve your sleep and lift your mood effectively. Take proper outdoor exercise regularly, get more sunlight in the afternoon, and keep a fixed sleep timetable. 5._______________ These small changes can greatly reduce negative feelings and help you sleep through the whole night.
选项：
A. Why does bad mood lead to early morning awakening
B. Most teenagers suffer from serious sleeping problems.
C. Not all cases of early waking are harmful to our health.
D. However, depression makes daily life hard for its sufferers.
E. Lots of people ignore the hidden risk behind this sleep problem.
F. Besides, balanced diets and regular communication also work well.
G. Doctors advise people to take sleeping pills to solve sleep loss.
Passage 3
Green Tea Beats Black Tea in Health Benefits
After water, tea ranks as the world’s second most popular drink. People love it for warmth and caffeine’s refreshing effect. 1._______________ It contains L-theanine to lift mood and abundant antioxidants to lower risks of heart disease and dementia.
Black tea takes up over two-thirds of global tea sales. Yet green tea sales keep rising year by year, as people believe it brings greater health advantages. 2._______________ A 2019 research in Molecules surveyed over 3,000 people aged 50+. After controlling other factors, green tea drinkers scored higher on the healthy aging index.
3._______________ A 2016 study found green tea has 28 percent more L-theanine per cup. This special element boosts calming brain chemicals and strengthens alpha waves, sharpening focus without nervousness. Taken daily, it reduces stress and improves sleep.
Two scientific trials prove its positive influences. In one four-week test, adults taking 200mg L-theanine slept better and felt less anxiety. 4._______________ Even half the dose helped the elderly improve memory and reaction speed in another experiment.
Besides L-theanine, green tea owns more antioxidants too. Both teas come from Camellia sinensis, but black tea goes through full oxidation. 5 ._______________ Therefore, green tea keeps more anti-inflammatory antioxidants that clear damaged cells in our bodies.
选项：
A. So what scientific evidence supports this opinion
B. However, tea also provides many valuable health advantages.
C. Another study offered further proof of L-theanine’s power.
D. This chemical change turns most antioxidants into other substances.
E. The biggest gap between the two teas lies in their L-theanine levels.
F. Most people prefer black tea for its richer taste and wide market supply.
G. Drinking too much tea with high caffeine will cause sleep disorders.
Passage 4
HIIT: Time-saving Fitness for Busy People
If you ask people why they seldom work out, lack of time is the top excuse. WHO suggests weekly exercise standards, which are hard for people with work, commute and family duties. 1._______________ High-intensity interval training (HIIT) promises great fitness results within only a few minutes each week. It sounds unbelievable, yet scientific studies prove its effects.
HIIT became famous thanks to Japanese sports scientist Tabata Izumi. In his 1996 experiment, two groups took different bike workouts for six weeks. 2._______________ The group doing four-minute daily maximal HIIT gained better aerobic fitness than those with one hour of low-intensity cardio every day.
3._______________ Its biggest advantage — short time cost — comes with a high price: extreme training intensity. The original Tabata plan requires 20 seconds full effort plus 10 seconds rest, repeated 8 times. Many trainees feel sick or even vomit because of the heavy load.
Ordinary steady cardio mainly activates our oxygen-reliant aerobic energy system. 4._______________ It fires three energy systems at the same time, including two powerful anaerobic systems that supply explosive strength. During short rest periods, the body recovers energy fuels for the next round of sprint.
Apart from improving aerobic ability as common jogging does, HIIT also strengthens anaerobic function. 5._______________ For beginners, milder HIIT plans with moderate intensity also work well, so people can enjoy its benefits without unbearable discomfort.
选项：
A. So what special power makes HIIT more effective
B. However, there exists a time-efficient fitness choice called HIIT.
C. The scientist divided volunteers into two separate training groups.
D. However, HIIT works in a totally different way from traditional cardio.
E. In short, HIIT brings double fitness gains that regular exercise cannot offer.
F. Most office workers refuse high-intensity sports due to fear of physical pain.
G. Long-hour aerobic exercise is widely recommended by sports experts worldwide.
