Dear David,
I’m sorry to hear that you have trouble learning Chinese. And I’m writing to offer you some advice.
Below are my suggestions for you. First of all, I advise that you should take a Chinese course, which is of great help to improve your Chinese ability. What’s more, it is a good idea for you to watch TV and read books in Chinese whenever possible. Besides, why not learn some Chinese songs Last but not least, make more Chinese friends, and you will have more chances to practice your oral Chinese.
I hope that my advice is of great help to you. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

My Ph. D．adviser called me into his office, saying I needn't bring my notebook. After 15 minutes of listing my positive things, he looked me in the eye and said,“You are fired from the lab.”
I had moved to Israel from my native India the year before, excited to experience a new culture and study for a Ph. D．At first things went well in my new lab. Then, 3 months before I was fired, I ran into some problems. I made a few mistakes in the lab that slowed my research, but I wasn't aware that my adviser noticed them, and he never spoke to me about any concerns. I’m still not sure why he fired me, but I guess it was because of those mistakes. He wasn't confident that I could complete my research in time as we'd planned.
The first few days after I was fired were especially difficult. I spent hours staring at my computer screen, unable to get anything done. One day all I could do was sit on a beach, crying. I tried to change his mind with promising results, but he stuck to his decision. I could not break the news to my family in India, as the fear of disappointing them overwhelmed （压垮）me. I soon got into a state of sadness and anxiety. Meanwhile, the date for me to leave the country was drawing near, as my visa required me to be registered as a student. I was lonely and
without hope.
Around that time, I watched Dasvidaniya, a Bollywood movie that's about a man who has 3 months to live. One line from the movie stuck out to me :“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade（柠檬水）” .What kind of lemonade could I make out of my present situation My desire to complete a Ph. D．was never in doubt. After much reflection, I told myself that one failed attempt was not the end of the world, and that I needed to give it another try. With renewed confidence, I emailed expected advisers and applied to other programs. Within 2 months, I landed an offer from a Ph. D．program in Italy. I accepted it and relocated to Europe, happy that my goal of completing a Ph. D．was alive once again.
I’m thankful that I didn't give up on my dream and that I found another professor willing
to take me on.
What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
The possible reason for the author's being fired.
The author's problems in study.
The personality of the adviser.
The author's difficulty in adapting to a new culture. 25．What did the author do after being fired
He applied for a new visa.
He got addicted to computer games.
He shared the news with his family in India.
He tried to change the adviser's mind.
26．What kind of "lemonade” did the author make out of the difficult situation A．Holding the belief to get a doctor's degree.
B．Getting accepted by another Ph. D．program C．Persuading the adviser to let him stay.
D．Being responsible for different programs.. 27．What lesson can we learn from the story A．Direction is more important than effort, B．Turn to movies for comfort when in trouble.
C．Difficulties in life can be turned into something positive.
D．A doctor’s degree is important for the future.
C
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent hard work won’t ensure you the level of success you may want, but it will ensure that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
Paragraph 1 mainly talks about .
the meaning of success B. importance of success
C. the standards of success D.the reasons for success the
In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “that” refers to .
A setting a practical goal B. being good at something
C putting in more time D. succeeding in life
Successful people suggest doing what one loves because .
one tends to enjoy his work
work makes one feel pain
one gives up his work easily
it takes a lot of time to succeed
What can we infer from Paragraph 4
Successful people like to show their great skills.
People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
D
A new study in the journal of Tourism Analysis shows frequent travelers are happier with their lives than people who don't travel at all.
Chun-Chu Chen, an assistant professor at Washington State University, conducted a survey to find out why some individuals travel more frequently than others and whether or not travel and tourism experiences have a lasting effect on happiness and wellness.
Additionally, participants in the survey who reported regularly traveling at least 75 miles away from home also reported being about 7% happier when asked about their overall
well-being than those who reported traveling very rarely or not at all. The results of his analysis show individuals who pay more attention to tourism-related information and frequently discuss their travel plans with friends are more likely to go on regular vacations than those who aren’t constantly thinking about their next trip.
“While things like work, family life and friends play a bigger role in overall reports of well-being. The accumulation (积累) of travel experiences’ does appear to have a small yet noticeable effect on self-reported life satisfaction,” Chen said.
Participants in the study were asked about the importance of travel in their lives, how much time they spent looking into 'and planning future vacations, and how many trips they went on over a year. They were also asked about their life satisfaction. Out of the 500 survey participants, a little over half reported going on more than four pleasure trips a year. Only 7% of respondents did not take any vacations.
As travel restrictions (限制) due to COVID-19 pandemic begin to relax in the future, the research could. have important effects on both tourists and the tourism industry. Based on the results of the study, Chen said travel companies, resorts and even airlines, could launch social media campaigns, such as creating signs about the scientific benefits of vacation, to spark people’s interest in discussing their opinions about travel.
What is the benefit of frequent travelling according to the study A．Getting more tourism information. B．Making more friends.
C．Bettering tourism industry. D．Improving one's well-being. 33．What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about
Why the professor carried out the study.
How the participants felt about the survey.
What the participants were interviewed about.
What the participants panned to do in the future. 34．What can we infer from the last paragraph
Tourism industry should improve their service.
The results of the study will benefit tourism industry. C．COVID-19 pandemic will be more serious in the future. D．People will live a happier life after COVID-19 pandemic. 35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text A．Travel more and be happier
Make good use of travelling
Prepare for the tourism development
Make travel plans with friends
