Most Beautiful National Parks in Poland
Poland's national parks are a hidden treasure for nature lovers. Take a walk on the wild side with us and experience four of the best open air spaces.
Bleszczady National Park
This park is in the remote south-eastern corner of the country bordering with Ukraine and Slovakia. It's a great choice for people looking for a quiet and lonely trip. Facilities are also quite limited. Don't miss the Solina Dam and other artificial lakes.
Karkonosze National Park
Over in the south-west of Poland by the frontier with the Czech Republic, this park is particularly interesting for its strangely shaped rocks and flat bare mountain tops. Near the border of the park is the highest waterfall in the Sudety region of Poland, the Kamienczyk Waterfall, which is 27 meters high.
Wolin National Park
Covering a large part of the Wolin Island on the western side of the Polish coast, this park's best parts include an amazing 15 km long stretch of steep sea cliffs（悬崖）, lakes and rivers surrounded by pine trees, many bird species and a small bison（野牛） reserve.
Pieniny Natlonal Park
This park is on the border of Poland and Pieniny—one of the Pieniny's most beautiful mountain ranges. By far the most popular activity is taking a raft（筏） down the winding Dunajec River, but there is a lot more to discover.

When. I was two years old, my parents were still getting used to the lifestyle of raising a kid, but what they had noticed was what they considered “out of the ordinary” behavior. Whatever toys I played with, I placed them in a straight line. When others were unfriendly to me, I became changeable. My diagnosis （诊断） was in 1999, a time when a type of autism（孤独症）called PDD-NOS was still not commonly understood and was still being observed. My parents were initially shocked at this result.
As I got older, I began to develop from keeping to myself to interacting with other kids once I entered a public school in first grade. I noticed how the other kids were able to answer questions in class a lot faster than I could understand. Since fourth grade, I joined my school's marching band, something I never had any interest in, but my mom made me believe that it was a great way to not only make friends, but to help gain more confidence in myself.
At the same time during fourth grade, I discovered my talent for creative writing. I realized, on the day I wrote my first story about superheroes, my processed thinking and my imagination provided a basic feature for my character; a hidden talent. As the years passed, I helped my fellow classmates with articles, and I even shared the original pieces I wrote with my classmates occasionally, although I was still unaware about my diagnosis.
However, one day when I was fifteen years old, I learned the real truth about myself. My parents kept it from me because they thought it would affect my self-respect. I understood why they'd hide this from me because they really love me, and ever since then, I've accepted who I am, and I use my talents to help others who need a friend.

A new study, published in the journal Sleep Health, has suggested that taking a short nap（小睡）during the day may help to protect the brain's health as it ages, after finding the practice appears to be related to larger brain volume（容量）.
While previous research has suggested long naps could be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease, other research has showed that a brief nap can improve people's ability to learn. Now researchers say they have found evidence to suggest that napping may help to protect against brain's dwindling, a process that occurs with age and is faster in people with cognitive（认知的）issues and neurodegenerative（神经变性的）diseases.
Researchers at University College London （UCL） and the University of the Republic in Uruguay drew on data from the UK Biobank study that had collected lifestyle and health information from 500, 000 people aged 40 to 69. “Overall, we found a connection between habitual daytime napping and larger total brain volume equal in 2. 6 to 6. 5 fewer years of ageing, which could suggest that napping regularly provides some protection against neurodegeneration through making up for poor sleep,” said Dr Victoria Garfield, a co-author of the study from UCL. “A short daytime nap could help preserve brain volume and that's a positive thing, potentially for dementia prevention,” said Garfield, adding that previous research suggested a period of up to 30 minutes may be beneficial.
But the study is based on data only from European, and the exact period of naps connected with the benefits are unclear. Tara Spires-Jones, the president of the British Neuroscience Association welcomed the study, although she said it had limitations including that the self-reported napping habits of the UK Biobank people who took part may not be entirely accurate. “This study is important because it adds to the data indicating sleep is important for brain health,” she said.
28. What is the new study mainly about
A. The benefits of daytime naps. B. Cognitive issues.
C. Alzheimer's disease. D. Brain volume.
29. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Disappearing. B. Improving. C. Continuing. D. Reducing.
30. How did the researchers conduct their research
A. By comparing. B. By studying collected data.
C. By referring to history books. D. By introducing an idea.
31. What is Tara's attitude towards the research
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Disappointed.
D

Work in types

Notice your “problem” areas

Allow some clutter
39 A number of books on the table, for example, is a sign that a reader lives here, not a mess to be tidied up. Be kind to yourself and notice what “clutter” really serves your life, and what would make you feel good.
Accept the physical activity
Maybe you've also been struggling lately to fit a regular physical exercise into your daily life. You will feel like you have achieved two goals at once, such as sending a few bags of clothes to the donation box. 40 Celebrate yourself for getting exercise while you clean up.
A. So what can you do to manage lots of things
B. Even washing the dishes is a physical activity.
C. How can you form a routine for the end of your day
D. You needn't be alone in your journey toward a calmer home.
E. None of us should set a goal that is in a completely free clutter.
F. It's a method where everything is matched with one of five types.

In a warm home, a young girl named Shireen was busily preparing for a special occasion. As she tiptoed（踮着脚走） to tie a balloon, hunger was evident in her eyes. How did her family do this every year It was so hard to go without food or drink from lunch until sunset. She found this period especially challenging, because today also turned out to be her grandfather Babajoon's birthday.
Suddenly the phone rang. Shireen answered to find her friend Amy on the other end, inviting her to the park. “Can I join Amy and Maya They want to show me their new toys,” Shireen begged her mom. Understanding the struggle of Shireen, her mother gently replied, “Sorry, sweetie. You'll get tired and thirsty running around in the sun, especially on an empty stomach.”
Disappointed, Shireen felt angry, thinking of her friends enjoying themselves. The burst of hunger and anger made Shireen question the significance of giving up meals of the period. Realizing Shireen's upset, her mom explained that the most important thing was to know how it felt to be hungry, allowing them to understand those less lucky people's feeling and experiences and developed compassion（同情）.
To cheer Shireen up, her mom suggested baking a birthday cake for her grandfather. Her dad was passing by and heard their conversation. He considered it a bad idea, fearing that it would be too hard for Shireen on an empty stomach. However, Shireen had made her mind.
She wanted to surprise Babajoon with a cake, not just any cake, but a beautiful chocolate one Shireen and her mom set out the materials; cocoa powder, sugar, flour（面粉）, eggs and butter. Her mom selected the cocoa and flour. Shireen measured sugar into the mixer and added the butter. She liked watching the mixer turn the separate materials into a soft yellow paste. She cracked the eggs one by one into the bowl. “Oops! There's some shell.” Shireen tried getting it out with a spoon.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

W: Hello, everyone. I'd like to make a brief introduction to the British Library, which is the national library of the United Kingdom. The British Library was founded in 1973 and is one of the world's greatest libraries. The library opens to the public from Monday to Saturday, except for public holidays. It has newspapers, popular publications as well as letters of historical value. The library's collection has maps, photographs, art prints, movies, sound recordings and musical instruments. All together, it has more than 150 million items in its collection. It includes around 14 million books, along with plenty of handwritten and historical items dating back as far as 2, 000 BC. It also has a wide collection of stamps of the world which are on show for visitors. The library also offers other events like music and discussion. The library is open to everyone who needs to use its collections. Anyone with an ID card who wishes to carry out research can apply for a reader pass; they are required to provide proof of address for security purposes.

A meaningful music summer camp
This summer holiday, I attended an amazing music summer camp. It was the first time that I had gone so far and met so many friends who love music as much as I do. When I first arrived, I was too nervous to communicate with other campers. But they were very kind and we soon became good friends. Together we shared our feelings about music and our favorite songs together. We enjoyed the diverse music. In addition, many interesting activities were organized at the camp. What was impressive for me was that I was given the opportunity to have face-to-face communication with some famous musicians. It was really a delightful and meaningful experience which opened my mind and let me make new friends.

The process of making the cake brought moments of joy. As the cake began to take shape, Shireen almost forgot about her hunger. She and her mom laughed heartily when Shireen got some flour on her nose, and her mom taught her the technique to perfect the cake. With every added decoration, the cake became more beautiful. They also discussed how Babajoon would react, and the excitement of the evening's celebration lightened Shireen's earlier feelings of sadness and tiredness.
Finally evening approached. The setting sun marked the end of the day's no food policy. As the family sat around the dining table, Babajoon was presented with Shireen's beautiful cake. The joy and pride in Shireen's eyes were obvious. Not only had she successfully overcame the challenge, but she also managed to make a beautiful gift from the heart for her beloved grandfather. The day taught her the value of compassion, patience and the importance of family ties.
