Four Travel Destinations for Nature Lovers
Oulanka National Park, Finland
In Lapland, in northern Finland, there are hotel rooms, and other accommodation options that were specially designed for enjoying the spectacular colorful natural light show known as the Aurora (极光) Borealis. Oulanka National Park is just one great spot in this region for viewing the dancing lights during the aurora sighting season, which falls in October and November as well as March and April.
Batibou Beach, Dominica
Known as “The Nature Island of the Caribbean”, Dominica is an obvious choice for those who want to get back to nature.

On Black Sand Beach, you can even visit a leatherback, hawksbill, and green turtle reserve.

With a long list of outdoor adventures, Gros Morne offers striking natural beauty in western Newfoundland. This national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site stretches across nearly 700 square miles as part of the Long Range Mountains.

When I was in my second year in senior high school, I found a four-dollar-an-hour part-time job at Villa-nova Pizza. Like many of my friends, I longed to earn some pocket money from the job as well as gaining social experience. Just one week after I worked there, Stubby, the manager, called me into his office. As the saying goes, “Life isn’t a bed of roses.” My first job ended in failure. His reason was that I showed up late twice and took more breaks than others. “Oh, I’m a loser,” I thought to myself. I believed that thought was shared by my brothers, neither of whom had ever been fired, and my mother, though she would never express it in those terms.
“I am too sad to do anything,” I complained to my father. After listening to my words, he laughed. “It’s not funny; I’m a loser,” I said.
“No, you’re not. This is a part of growing up. You will be all right, my dear daughter,” he said, patting my shoulder. “Trust me. You are good enough.”
I looked into my father’s eyes and I could see he really trusted me. And I believed him. Since then, “Trust me. You are good enough!” are the only words I have repeated to myself. I have worked hard to be a better person and cherished every chance I have got.
Finally, I succeeded in entering a good university. After graduation I found my dream job. I couldn’t wait to call my father and show my gratitude.
Look ahead when you experience something unpleasant and there is always someone around believing in you. When they believe in us we begin to believe in ourselves, too. They tell us we are good enough over and over until we can hear it.

It’s always exciting to receive a letter in the mail. Even today, when the world is digitally connected, receiving an actual letter in your mailbox from a distant land is a great way for children to make new friends.
The Peaceful Pen Pals Project is a beautiful project that blends together global connection and self-expression. The project is part of the nonprofit Kids for Peace, founded by Jill McManigal and Danielle Gram in California in 2006. It is open to all children, ages two through seventeen. To date, there are 1,500 children from 17 countries participating in the program according to the organization. Currently, all letters are written in English. When children sign up, they can select if they would rather be matched with a USA Peaceful Pen Pal or an international one.
Each child is then matched to a pen pal of similar age. This establishes a point of connection quickly for the children and facilitates (促进) a stronger bond. If the letter writers are in the same grade, they can chat about school, their teachers, and what they are studying. They can also compare what different states or countries learn about and how the atmosphere of the classroom are, whether socially or academically. Children may also be more likely to write about problems they are having if they feel like they are speaking to a peer in a similar situation. Although pen pals may live in different countries, they may find common ground. The writer lists their favorite activities to do outside, plus what they like best and least about school. This gives the writer an opportunity to express and receive advice or feedback (反馈) from the pen pal.
“Hearing first-hand stories from an international pen pal can encourage teens to take someone else’s viewpoint and to think outside of themselves,” writes Rebecca Fraser-Thill on Very Well Family. “Having a foreign pen pal can also encourage interest in geography, history and culture.”
8. What can we know about the Peaceful Pen Pals Project
A. It helps strengthen links between kids.
B. It is aimed at improving children’s English.
C. It encourages children to help people in need.
D. It is created for teenagers to take online lessons.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly talking about
A. The necessity of discussion in study.
B. The approaches to making new friends.
C. The purpose of the Peaceful Pen Pals Project.
D The benefits of having friends of similar ages.
10. What is Rebecca Fraser-Thill’s attitude towards the project
A. Careful. B. Supportive. C. Uninterested. D. Disappointed.
11. What is the best title of this text
A. Writing Enriches Kids’ Life B. Friendship Teaches Kids a Lesson
C. The Pen Pal Project Connects Kids D. Communication Skills Better the World
D
Spearmint the seal has an addiction. Being too overly friendly to humans around Plymouth, England, she’s been sent to kick her human habits.
Spearmint was first seen in Caws and Bay, Cornwall, almost seven months ago, and was found hanging out with tourists and swimmers, as well as paddlers. She was even known to have visited a local outdoor pub.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) put the North Atlantic gray seal into a treatment program, where rescuers were “working around the clock to get her fit and healthy” enough to be released.
After rehab, the organization hopes to release her into a remote area of Scotland where she won’t be so tempted by people. The Rame Wildlife Rescue Network has also provided assistance, raising more than $6,500 for the seal’s relocation.
Jessica Collins, a medical worker at British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), initiated the rescue. She says Spearmint is an endangered seal that has become used to human contact. “Despite receiving treatment at a young age, to change her human-related behavior is far from easy. Spearmint’s interest in humans grew once released as she was fed regularly by tourists,” Collin s explained. “After multiple relocations we found Cawsand Bay, where we were able to control the situation better and keep people away.”
The RSPCA plans to either reintroduce Spearmint to the wild or place her in permanent care in a shelter intended for seals. “Give wild animals space and avoid feeding them. We hope the message carries through beyond Spearmint’s story,” the RSPCA said in a statement.
12. What is Spearmint’s addiction according to the passage
A. Visiting local pubs. B. Swimming in Cawsand Bay.
C. Hanging out with swimmers. D. Enjoying being with humans.
13. What does “rehab” in paragraph 4 probably refer to
A. Relocating the seal. B. Changing the seal’s personality.
C. Treating the seal’s human habits. D. Helping the seal grow stronger.
14. What does Jessica Collins think is a major challenge to BDLMR’s work
A. Tourists’ constant feeding.
B. The seal’s need for medical attention.
C. Absence of early treatment for the seal.
D. Spearmint’s constant moving when released.
15. What does RSPCA encourage people to do according to the last paragraph
A. Build shelters for seals. B. Leave wild animals on their own.
C. Keep seals in permanent care. D. Avoid taking wild animals’ land.

How to Survive Overthinking
●Focus on the big picture.
___16___ While you might be able to learn something new by giving these things some quick consideration, it’s better to step back and look at the whole picture. If you’re crushing on (迷恋) someone, for example, you might think about their every comment or facial expression after you see them- but examining every interaction for telling details can keep you from seeing what’s really going on.
●Distract (分心) yourself when you’re overthinking.
Do something that you find fun and engaging. When your thoughts are running away from you, sometimes you just need to do something else for a while. ___17___ Some people enjoy coloring or doing puzzles, while others may enjoy going for a walk.
●Get your thoughts down on paper.
Try spending 10 minutes a day writing down your thoughts. ___18___ When you write, it helps you organize your thoughts, so they don’t feel so confused and overwhelming (压垮的) in your mind.
Writing can also help you get to the root of what’s going on.
●Talk out your thoughts with a friend.
Saying your thoughts out loud can help you process them. If you just can’t seem to move past your thoughts try opening up to someone you really trust, like a close family member or a friend. Tell them what you’re dealing with and why you think you keep coming back to these thoughts. ___19___ They might just have some good advice that might put your mind at ease.
●Try to see problems as challenges.
Look for solutions instead of just replaying the obstacle. If you notice that you’re just thinking about every little detail of a decision you’re facing, try to reframe your thoughts. Focus on how you can solve the problem, or what you can learn from it. ___20___
A. Big problems seem less terrible when you break them down.
B. Journaling can be a really powerful way to calm overthinking.
C. When you're overthinking, you tend to get caught up in details.
D. When you’re finished, give them some space to share their opinions.
E. This simple shift can help you feel empowered instead of overwhelmed.

The project is part of the nonprofit Kids for Peace, founded by Jill McManigal and Danielle Gram in California in 2006. It is open to all children, ages two through seventeen. To date, there are 1,500 children from 17 countries participating in the program according to the organization. Currently, all letters are written in English. When children sign up, they can select if they would rather be matched with a USA Peaceful Pen Pal or an international one.
Each child is then matched to a pen pal of similar age. This establishes a point of connection quickly for the children and facilitates (促进) a stronger bond. If the letter writers are in the same grade, they can chat about school, their teachers, and what they are studying. They can also compare what different states or countries learn about and how the atmosphere of the classroom are, whether socially or academically. Children may also be more likely to write about problems they are having if they feel like they are speaking to a peer in a similar situation. Although pen pals may live in different countries, they may find common ground. The writer lists their favorite activities to do outside, plus what they like best and least about school. This gives the writer an opportunity to express and receive advice or feedback (反馈) from the pen pal.
“Hearing first-hand stories from an international pen pal can encourage teens to take someone else’s viewpoint and to think outside of themselves,” writes Rebecca Fraser-Thill on Very Well Family. “Having a foreign pen pal can also encourage interest in geography, history and culture.”

They can also compare what different states or countries learn about and how the atmosphere of the classroom are, whether socially or academically. Children may also be more likely to write about problems they are having if they feel like they are speaking to a peer in a similar situation. (然后，每个孩子都被配上一个年龄相仿的笔友。这为孩子们迅速建立了一个连接点，促进了更牢固的联系。如果写信人是同一年级的，他们可以聊聊学校，他们的老师，他们正在学习什么。他们还可以比较不同的州或国家学习的内容，以及课堂氛围，无论是社交还是学术。如果孩子们觉得自己是在和一个处境相似的同龄人交谈，他们也更有可能写下自己遇到的问题。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了拥有同龄朋友的好处。故选D。

D
Spearmint the seal has an addiction. Being too overly friendly to humans around Plymouth, England, she’s been sent to kick her human habits.
Spearmint was first seen in Caws and Bay, Cornwall, almost seven months ago, and was found hanging out with tourists and swimmers, as well as paddlers. She was even known to have visited a local outdoor pub.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) put the North Atlantic gray seal into a treatment program, where rescuers were “working around the clock to get her fit and healthy” enough to be released.
After rehab, the organization hopes to release her into a remote area of Scotland where she won’t be so tempted by people. The Rame Wildlife Rescue Network has also provided assistance, raising more than $6,500 for the seal’s relocation.
Jessica Collins, a medical worker at British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), initiated the rescue. She says Spearmint is an endangered seal that has become used to human contact. “Despite receiving treatment at a young age, to change her human-related behavior is far from easy. Spearmint’s interest in humans grew once released as she was fed regularly by tourists,” Collin s explained. “After multiple relocations we found Cawsand Bay, where we were able to control the situation better and keep people away.”
The RSPCA plans to either reintroduce Spearmint to the wild or place her in permanent care in a shelter intended for seals. “Give wild animals space and avoid feeding them. We hope the message carries through beyond Spearmint’s story,” the RSPCA said in a statement.
12. What is Spearmint’s addiction according to the passage
A. Visiting local pubs. B. Swimming in Cawsand Bay.
C. Hanging out with swimmers. D. Enjoying being with humans.
13. What does “rehab” in paragraph 4 probably refer to
A. Relocating the seal. B. Changing the seal’s personality.
C. Treating the seal’s human habits. D. Helping the seal grow stronger.
14. What does Jessica Collins think is a major challenge to BDLMR’s work
A. Tourists’ constant feeding.
B. The seal’s need for medical attention.
C. Absence of early treatment for the seal.
D. Spearmint’s constant moving when released.
15. What does RSPCA encourage people to do according to the last paragraph
A. Build shelters for seals. B. Leave wild animals on their own.
C. Keep seals in permanent care. D. Avoid taking wild animals’ land.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B

【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) put the North Atlantic gray seal into a treatment program, where rescuers were “working around the clock to get her fit and healthy” enough to be released.”（英国皇家防止虐待动物协会(RSPCA)将这只北大西洋灰海豹纳入了一个治疗项目，救援人员正在“昼夜不停地工作，让它恢复健康”，以便被释放。）以及第四段中“After rehab, the organization hopes to release her into a remote area of Scotland where she won’t be so tempted by people.”（康复后，该组织希望将她释放到苏格兰的一个偏远地区，在那里她不会受到人们的诱惑。）可知，rehab的意思是指“治疗海豹喜欢和人在一起的习性”。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Despite receiving treatment at a young age, to change her human-related behavior is far from easy. Spearmint’s interest in humans grew once released as she was fed regularly by tourists.”（尽管在很小的时候就接受了治疗，但要改变她与人类相关的行为绝非易事。“Spearmint一经释放就会对人类产生兴趣，因为它经常被游客喂食。）可知，Jessica Collins认为游客不断的喂食是对BDLMR工作的一个主要挑战。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Give wild animals space and avoid feeding them. We hope the message carries through beyond Spearmint’s story,” the RSPCA said in a statement.”（给野生动物空间，避免喂食。我们希望这一信息能超越Spearmint的故事，”英国防止虐待动物协会在一份声明中说。）可推知，RSPCA鼓励人们让野生动物独处。故选B项。

How to Survive Overthinking
●Focus on the big picture.

Tell them what you’re dealing with and why you think you keep coming back to these thoughts. ___19___ They might just have some good advice that might put your mind at ease.
●Try to see problems as challenges.
Look for solutions instead of just replaying the obstacle. If you notice that you’re just thinking about every little detail of a decision you’re facing, try to reframe your thoughts. Focus on how you can solve the problem, or what you can learn from it. ___20___
