Day 1: Get Close to Primates(灵长类)of Ninh Binh
After breakfast, take the electric car to the Endangered Primates Rescue Centre, which focuses on the conservation of primates.

Bradley McConachie, a 33-year-old Australian, is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Beijing University two years ago. Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, “I’m in China”.
Bradley was lucky to win the most “likes” for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer. All the winners’ experiences were filmed to produce a reality show, My Chinese Working Day, which will be broadcast by mid-September.
Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding. The film crew took them to many “amazing sites” and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs.
“I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China,” he said. That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the “stunning” view of the coastline.
“I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series. It was nice to experience these little touches. I was happy to be a part of that experience !”Bradley said.
24. What made Bradley's life more colorful
A. Obtaining his PhD. B. The interest in international relations.
C. The research about Beijing University. D. The cultural exchanges project.
25. Why was Bradley given the chance
A. He was one of the top 20 winners. B. His life in China was interesting.
C. He produced the reality show. D. He liked photo stories most.
26. Which of the following best explains “stunning” in Paragraph 4
A. Agreeable B. Confusing C. Fantastic D. Extreme
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. It's difficult to produce moving TV series.
B. Many Australians know little about China.
C. Sanya is worth visiting for foreigners.
D. Beijing and Shanghai are historical sites.
C
“There's no place like home.” This English saying has much truth in it: the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it's the only affordable place to stay; somewhere where they can receive first class service from Mum and Dad. But this comes at a price!
In some countries, it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there's been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live—or not to leave home at all.
A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.
The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. But for the “hoteliers”, that's Mum and Dad; the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their “big kids”. Emma Craig from Money Supermarket says, “They're trying to look after their children more. If your children come home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute. It tugs on your heartstrings more.”
With parents splashing out around ￡1,886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi Fi for the benefit of their offspring, it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That's before they learn a home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of Mum and Dad!
28. Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions
A. A lazy youth, an awful age. B. East or west, home is best.
C. Two heads are better than one. D. Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.
29. Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds
A. The popularity of living independently. B. Looking after their old parents.
C. The increase of unemployment rate. D. Their parents' financial offer.
30. What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds
A. Doubtful.　 B. Uncertain. C. Objective. D. Understandable.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
B. Parents are willing to receive their returning children.
C. Flying the nest is becoming popular at present.
D. Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.
D
Last year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 55 million people in the
U. S. are “gig workers” which is more than 35 percent of the U. S. workforce. That number is projected to jump to 43 percent by 2020.
People are drawn to gig work(零工) because it brings in a little extra income without a major time commitment. And recent technologies like SkypeSlack, and Dropbox have made the gig life a reality, giving you maximum freedom, an ideal work-life balance, and the chance to pursue your passions.
If you’re thinking of joining the gig economy, it’s never been easier. One of the great things about the gig economy is that you don't have a boss breathing down your neck. As a freelancer, you no longer have to cater to a company culture or work schedule that might cause physical or emotional stress. Instead you get to choose the type of work you do and who you work with. But this degree of freedom requires a corresponding amount of discipline. With no boss to make sure you’re on task, it’s all on you.
A lot of gig workers start their careers by hopping on a project because the employer is desperate and in need of help. On the employer’s end, it’s tough to take on people for higher management positions when the pool of talent is full of gig workers who haven't been given an opportunity to improve their skills. Businesses have to evolve to learn how to account for an influx（涌入）of temporary workers. It is harder for gig workers to become skilled and get promoted.
The workforce is becoming more advanced and educated by the day. You have to keep learning and keep up with industry trends to maintain a competitive edge. This is true even for people in traditional office settings, but it’s critical if you’re your own boss.
32. What made the gig life a reality
A. Greater work-life balance B. Maximum freedom.
C. A little extra money. D. New technologies.
33. What does the underlined phrase “breathing down your neck” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Making you unable to breathe freely. B. Monitoring you closely.
C. Threatening you by saying something. D. Standing very close behind you.
34. What can we infer from the last but one paragraph
A. It’s hard for employers to employ people for higher positions.
B. Gig workers start their jobs out of passion.
C. Employers should invest in training the temporary workers.
D. It’s hard for gig workers to develop skills.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Increase of the Gig Economy
B. The Challenges of the Gig Economy
C. The Strengths and Weaknesses of the Gig Economy
D. The Reason for the Gig Economy

A new study suggests whoever stays up late on school nights-whether it be due to homework, chatting online with friends or late sports practices-may experience more academic and emotional problems than their peers who are earlier to bed. 36 The university researchers of the new study showed that teens who were night owls(夜猫子)had lower exam scores and were also more likely to suffer from anxiety than those who go to bed earlier.
Study researcher Allison Harvey, a psychologists at UC Berkeley, said, "This very important study adds to the already clear evidence that teens who went to bed later than 11:30 pm on school nights are at greater health risk." He added in a statement, " 37 "
The Journal of Adolescent Health study included 2, 700 teens in grades 7 to 12 who were part of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. 38 About 30 percent of the teens responded that they went to bed later than 11:30 pm on school nights and 1:30 am in the summer.
39 An association between going to bed late during the school year and having worse educational outcomes, as well as higher emotional stress is also found.
The findings add to past research also suggesting an association between late nights and poorer academic performance among teens. 40 The researchers of the study, from Brown University, noted that this may be due to the fact that their body clocks are unable to properly readjust to a new routine on weekend, when they have to wake up so early during weekdays for school.
A. These results need to be confirmed.
B. Many adults are suffering from lack of sleep.
C. Researchers inquired about their sleep habits.
D. Researchers from the University of California conducted it.
E. Helping teens go to bed earlier may be a key way to reduce risk.
F. A connection was found between going to bed later and getting less sleep.
G. One previous study showed teens who stayed up late during a week did worse at school.

Daisy, together with her father, mother and elder brother, happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. Stepping outside the house, they saw flowers smiling in the sunshine and butterflies dancing in the garden. The family survived on growing seasonal plants.
While they lived a very happy life, Daisy did not love the wonderful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move to the city and enjoy the urban life. She had a fantasy to go shopping, try on fashionable dresses, watch movies, and eat in fancy restaurants and cafes.
However, there was hardly any chance that Daisy’s family would move to the city as they had everything in the village. One day, Daisy felt asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her deceased (已故的) grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her grandmother granted (同意给予) her a wish. Daisy requested her that she would love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Daisy, but still wanted to convince her that peaceful village life was better than city life. She told Daisy, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city ”
Daisy, without hearing the concerns, asked her grandmother to grant the wish. The grandmother granted her the wish but with a condition. Daisy was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to village. Daisy agreed.

1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

Daisy then found herself in the city with her friends. They went to see a movie and shopped in a mall. For a moment Daisy was thrilled at the brand-new world, seeing people in stylish clothes and skyscrapers everywhere. Yet the excitement didn’t last long, because she noticed the city was filled with noise-making cars which gave off smelly gases. She even heard some people yelling at each other. “There was no peace, no silence; city life was fast and rushing,” Daisy thought.
Suddenly, she woke up as her brother was calling her for lunch. Recalling what happened in the dream, Daisy realized that her peaceful village life was so wonderful that she didn’t need to envy those who lived in the crowded city. At lunch, Daisy shared the dream. “City life can be appealing to people, for they have easy access to entertainment facilities and better infrastructure(基础设施). But here I have the chance to appreciate the sounds the world makes without being bothered by noisy vehicles and people,” she told her family.
