Thailand’s four train journeys
If you’ re not in a rush, you can take trains to travel around Thailand. Here are the four best train journeys in the country.
Ha Line
Start: Tho; End: Sat Sam
Start at Tho Wong Y train station, just across the Co P River from Bangkok. From the window, you can see homes, shops, palm trees and rice fields. The farmland disappears as you enter Sam San. After getting off and walking through a busy fresh market, you’ ll reach a harbor(港口).
Death Railway
Start: Tho; End: Nam T
Built in the 1940s, the Death Railway is Thailand’s most famous and historic train line. A total of 688 bridges were built along the route(路线). The trains that run on the Death Railway are 3rd- class, meaning they have no air- conditioners and mostly wooden benches. It’s a tourist line, so there’ re stops for short visits to historical sites and a eave.
Beach Train
Start: Bangkok; End:Ha H
This route skirts around the Gulf of Thailand. Your destination, Ha H, is Thailand’s original beach resort(旅游胜地). The central attraction of the route is Ha H red- and- white train station, which was built in 1926. The train is largely responsible for Ha H wealth; therefore, the station is a major source of pride.
Train to Laos
Start: Bangkok; End: Thang
Starting from Bangkok in the afternoon, this route crosses the Mekong River into Laos. In the morning, with warm sunlight streaming into your bed, you’ ll pass by the charming tiny villages and seemingly endless use fields. After a stop in Nong K, you’ ll cross the so- called Friendship Bridge to Laos.
1. What can’ be learned about the Death Railway
A. It is the most famous and modern line in Thailand.
B. Its trains are 3rd- class with all wooden benches.
C It provides you with good natural views along the line
D. It stops for a few moments at historical sites.

B. They can give you a sense of history.
C. They offer a lot of good views along the way.
D. They make you experience the local life.

A few years ago, it seemed like Taylor Swift never went anywhere without a large group of friends. No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队) — which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did — would be right by her side.
But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren’t as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity (不安全) of feeling “uncool” and “unpopular”. Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn’t have many friends when she was younger — a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.
When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends,” Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood.” But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “I didn’t realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone,” she says.
As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn’t mean how “cool” she is. To her, it’s much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather” friends.
While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how I viewed things. But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”
4. What made Swift know old list squad
A. The popularity of her friends.
B. Her childhood experience.
C. The support of her fans.
D. Her strong social influence.
5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us
A. We should make real friends.
B. It is important to trust our friends.
C. Our friends can affect our behavior.
D. There are many ways of making friends.
6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph
A. Request. B. Advice. C. Method. D. Purpose.
7. From which is the text probably taken
A. A scientific report. B. A social newspaper.
C. A travel magazine. D. A movie poster.
C
We can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.
The team behind the University of Bristol’s Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course — such as gratitude, exercise, or run — are kept up over the long term.
Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It’s like going to the gym — we can’t expect to do one class and be fit forever. Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health; otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.”
Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol’s Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the UK. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.
Professor Hood said “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start. You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others, being with friends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current ‘self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.”
8. What does the study find about happiness
A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.
B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.
C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.
D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.
9. What can we learn from Professor Hood’s words
A. Learning has got to be active and experiential.
B. Mental health is as important as physical health.
C. Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.
D. Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.
10. What words can best describe the course
A. Long and complex. B. Pioneering and useful.
C. Cheap and professional. D. Interesting and educational.
11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph
A. By interacting with others. B. By focusing on ourselves.
C. By learning a new course. D. By avoiding negative friends.
D
A number of new houses across California are selling unusually fast. In the past two months, 82 have been sold out, and the waiting list is 1,000 long. That demand should, though, soon be satisfied — for, while it can take weeks to put up a conventional bricks-and-mortar dwelling (砖混住宅), the constructors behind these houses are able to build one in less than 24 hours. They can do it so rapidly because their products are collected from prefabricated (预制的) components printed in a factory.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been around since the early 1980s, but is now developing fast. It is already employed to make things ranging from orthopedic (整形外科的) implants to components for aircraft. The details vary according to the products and processes involved, but the underlying principle (原理) is the same. A layer of material is laid down and somehow fixed in place. Then another is put on top of it. Then another. By varying the shape and the composition, objects can be crafted that would be difficult or impossible to produce with conventional techniques.
Not only does 3D printing allow greater versatility (用途广泛) and faster construction, it also promises a more environmentally friendly approach. That may make it a useful answer to two challenges now facing the world: a shortage of housing and climate change. More than 20% of Earth’s population lack adequate accommodation. And the construction industry is responsible for 11% of the world’s man-made carbon-dioxide emissions. An important benefit is that there is less need to move lots of heavy stuff. Palari Homes, for instance, estimates that prefabricating its products reduces the number of lorry journeys sufficiently to cut two tonnes off the amount of carbon dioxide released per home. If successful, building by 3D printing is likely to spread beyond housing. Opportunities also exist in warehousing, offices and other commercial buildings.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Houses are selling faster in California than other places.
B. The demands of houses can be well met in California.
C. Traditional house sale in California has been increasing recently.
D. Conventional dwellings need more time to complete than 3D printed houses.
13. What’s paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The development and explanation of 3D printing.
B. The application and work principles of 3D printing.
C. The advantages of 3D printing.
D. The functions and future of 3D printing.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards 3D printing
A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Favorable. D. Worried.
15. What’s the suitable title for the passage
A. 3D printing — application to the construction field
B. 3D printing — an environmentally friendly tech
C. The promising future of the 3D printing industry
D. New practice of the familiar 3D printing

____18____ According to Dr. Austin, there’s another smelly reason why your pup may be rolling around in that patch of grass. “Dogs may roll in grass to hide their own scent, as more of an inherited predatory (捕食性的) instinct,” Dr. Austin said.

A few years ago, it seemed like Taylor Swift never went anywhere without a large group of friends. No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队) — which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did — would be right by her side.
But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren’t as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity (不安全) of feeling “uncool” and “unpopular”. Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn’t have many friends when she was younger — a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.
When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends,” Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood.” But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “I didn’t realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone,” she says.
As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn’t mean how “cool” she is. To her, it’s much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather” friends.
While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how I viewed things. But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”

Thailand’s four train journeys
If you’ re not in a rush, you can take trains to travel around Thailand. Here are the four best train journeys in the country.
Ha Line
Start: Tho; End: Sat Sam
Start at Tho Wong Y train station, just across the Co P River from Bangkok. From the window, you can see homes, shops, palm trees and rice fields. The farmland disappears as you enter Sam San. After getting off and walking through a busy fresh market, you’ ll reach a harbor(港口).
Death Railway
Start: Tho; End: Nam T
Built in the 1940s, the Death Railway is Thailand’s most famous and historic train line. A total of 688 bridges were built along the route(路线). The trains that run on the Death Railway are 3rd- class, meaning they have no air- conditioners and mostly wooden benches. It’s a tourist line, so there’ re stops for short visits to historical sites and a eave.
Beach Train
Start: Bangkok; End:Ha H
This route skirts around the Gulf of Thailand. Your destination, Ha H, is Thailand’s original beach resort(旅游胜地). The central attraction of the route is Ha H red- and- white train station, which was built in 1926. The train is largely responsible for Ha H wealth; therefore, the station is a major source of pride.
Train to Laos
Start: Bangkok; End: Thang
Starting from Bangkok in the afternoon, this route crosses the Mekong River into Laos.

A few years ago, it seemed like Taylor Swift never went anywhere without a large group of friends. No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队) — which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did — would be right by her side.
But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren’t as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity (不安全) of feeling “uncool” and “unpopular”. Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn’t have many friends when she was younger — a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.
When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends,” Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood.” But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “I didn’t realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone,” she says.
As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn’t mean how “cool” she is. To her, it’s much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather” friends.
While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how I viewed things. But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”
4. What made Swift know old list squad
A. The popularity of her friends.
B. Her childhood experience.
C. The support of her fans.
D. Her strong social influence.
5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us
A. We should make real friends.
B. It is important to trust our friends.
C. Our friends can affect our behavior.
D. There are many ways of making friends.
6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph
A. Request. B. Advice. C. Method. D. Purpose.
7. From which is the text probably taken
A. A scientific report. B. A social newspaper.
C. A travel magazine. D. A movie poster.
C
We can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.
The team behind the University of Bristol’s Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course — such as gratitude, exercise, or run — are kept up over the long term.
Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It’s like going to the gym — we can’t expect to do one class and be fit forever. Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health; otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.”
Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol’s Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the UK. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.
Professor Hood said “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start. You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others, being with friends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current ‘self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.”
8. What does the study find about happiness
A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.
B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.
C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.
D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.
9. What can we learn from Professor Hood’s words
A. Learning has got to be active and experiential.
B. Mental health is as important as physical health.
C. Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.
D. Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.
10. What words can best describe the course
A. Long and complex. B. Pioneering and useful.
C. Cheap and professional. D. Interesting and educational.
11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph
A. By interacting with others. B. By focusing on ourselves.
C. By learning a new course. D. By avoiding negative friends.
D
A number of new houses across California are selling unusually fast. In the past two months, 82 have been sold out, and the waiting list is 1,000 long. That demand should, though, soon be satisfied — for, while it can take weeks to put up a conventional bricks-and-mortar dwelling (砖混住宅), the constructors behind these houses are able to build one in less than 24 hours. They can do it so rapidly because their products are collected from prefabricated (预制的) components printed in a factory.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been around since the early 1980s, but is now developing fast. It is already employed to make things ranging from orthopedic (整形外科的) implants to components for aircraft. The details vary according to the products and processes involved, but the underlying principle (原理) is the same. A layer of material is laid down and somehow fixed in place. Then another is put on top of it. Then another. By varying the shape and the composition, objects can be crafted that would be difficult or impossible to produce with conventional techniques.
Not only does 3D printing allow greater versatility (用途广泛) and faster construction, it also promises a more environmentally friendly approach. That may make it a useful answer to two challenges now facing the world: a shortage of housing and climate change. More than 20% of Earth’s population lack adequate accommodation. And the construction industry is responsible for 11% of the world’s man-made carbon-dioxide emissions. An important benefit is that there is less need to move lots of heavy stuff. Palari Homes, for instance, estimates that prefabricating its products reduces the number of lorry journeys sufficiently to cut two tonnes off the amount of carbon dioxide released per home. If successful, building by 3D printing is likely to spread beyond housing. Opportunities also exist in warehousing, offices and other commercial buildings.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Houses are selling faster in California than other places.
B. The demands of houses can be well met in California.
C. Traditional house sale in California has been increasing recently.
D. Conventional dwellings need more time to complete than 3D printed houses.
13. What’s paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The development and explanation of 3D printing.
B. The application and work principles of 3D printing.
C. The advantages of 3D printing.
D. The functions and future of 3D printing.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards 3D printing
A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Favorable. D. Worried.
15. What’s the suitable title for the passage
A. 3D printing — application to the construction field
B. 3D printing — an environmentally friendly tech
C. The promising future of the 3D printing industry
D. New practice of the familiar 3D printing

A few years ago, it seemed like Taylor Swift never went anywhere without a large group of friends. No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队) — which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did — would be right by her side.
But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren’t as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity (不安全) of feeling “uncool” and “unpopular”. Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn’t have many friends when she was younger — a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.
When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends,” Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood.” But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “I didn’t realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone,” she says.
As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn’t mean how “cool” she is. To her, it’s much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather” friends.
While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how I viewed things. But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”

We can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.
The team behind the University of Bristol’s Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course — such as gratitude, exercise, or run — are kept up over the long term.
Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It’s like going to the gym — we can’t expect to do one class and be fit forever. Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health; otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.”
Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol’s Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the UK. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.
Professor Hood said, “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start. You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others, being with friends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current ‘self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.”
8. What does the study find about happiness
A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.
B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.
C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.
D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.
9. What can we learn from Professor Hood’s words
A. Learning has got to be active and experiential.
B. Mental health is as important as physical health.
C. Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.
D. Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.
10. What words can best describe the course
A. Long and complex. B. Pioneering and useful.
C. Cheap and professional. D. Interesting and educational.
11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph
A. By interacting with others. B. By focusing on ourselves.
C. By learning a new course. D. By avoiding negative friends.

A number of new houses across California are selling unusually fast. In the past two months, 82 have been sold out, and the waiting list is 1,000 long. That demand should, though, soon be satisfied — for, while it can take weeks to put up a conventional bricks-and-mortar dwelling (砖混住宅), the constructors behind these houses are able to build one in less than 24 hours. They can do it so rapidly because their products are collected from prefabricated (预制的) components printed in a factory.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been around since the early 1980s, but is now developing fast. It is already employed to make things ranging from orthopedic (整形外科的) implants to components for aircraft. The details vary according to the products and processes involved, but the underlying principle (原理) is the same. A layer of material is laid down and somehow fixed in place. Then another is put on top of it. Then another. By varying the shape and the composition, objects can be crafted that would be difficult or impossible to produce with conventional techniques.
Not only does 3D printing allow greater versatility (用途广泛) and faster construction, it also promises a more environmentally friendly approach. That may make it a useful answer to two challenges now facing the world: a shortage of housing and climate change. More than 20% of Earth’s population lack adequate accommodation. And the construction industry is responsible for 11% of the world’s man-made carbon-dioxide emissions. An important benefit is that there is less need to move lots of heavy stuff. Palari Homes, for instance, estimates that prefabricating its products reduces the number of lorry journeys sufficiently to cut two tonnes off the amount of carbon dioxide released per home. If successful, building by 3D printing is likely to spread beyond housing. Opportunities also exist in warehousing, offices and other commercial buildings.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Houses are selling faster in California than other places.
B. The demands of houses can be well met in California.
C. Traditional house sale in California has been increasing recently.
D. Conventional dwellings need more time to complete than 3D printed houses.
13. What’s paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The development and explanation of 3D printing.
B. The application and work principles of 3D printing.
C. The advantages of 3D printing.
D. The functions and future of 3D printing.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards 3D printing
A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Favorable. D. Worried.
15. What’s the suitable title for the passage
A. 3D printing — application to the construction field
B. 3D printing — an environmentally friendly tech
C. The promising future of the 3D printing industry
D. New practice of the familiar 3D printing

One afternoon after school, Mary and her brother Keith were eating at a cafe near their home. That afternoon, they had to share their table with a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her cellphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the cellphone on the table. She quickly told Keith,“ Keith, the lady left behind her cellphone.” Keith looked at the cellphone. It took his breath away because it was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a cellphone. But his parents had told him,“ You don’t need one. You can always use the house phone.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then, he said in a low voice,“I want to take the cellphone.” Mary could not believe her ears.“ You can’t! What if the owner comes back to look for it ” However, Keith quickly got the cellphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly.
Once back home, Keith locked his room door with trembling(颤抖的) hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. He liked it so much, polishing it happily. But Mary told him,“ Keith, you cannot keep the cellphone. That’s stealing! Do you forget that our father always teach us to be a kind and honest person How will you tell him about the cellphone ” Keith said quickly,“I will say a friend lent it to me.” Hearing this, Mary yelled,“ Now you are lying too. Oh dear! When did Keith turn so dishonest ” That night, Keith turned over in bed from time to time. He had difficulty sleeping, uncertain about what he should do. Of course, he liked the new cellphone. However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her cellphone, he was full of guilt and shame.
