“Is everybody ready ” the teacher asked, I certainly wasn’t. It was the early 1980s and 1 was in my high school typing class. I took it as an elective (选修的) course because learning French or Spanish seemed too difficult, After some time, I wished I hadn’t picked it, I had thought we would just be learning to touch type (自打), but not be tested on speed and accuracy (准确率), In addition to this, l was the only freshman in the class, Most of the other students were juniors or seniors.
“Hands on home keys. Eyes on the book, Ready Type,” said the teacher, Suddenly the room was alive with 30 electric typewriters’ keys being pounded (猛击) on, I tried my best to keep up, but it was clear being a clerk wasn’t in my future. Though I didn’t make many errors, my typing speed was very slow and I knew I wasn’t going to get a good grade on this test. I really regretted taking this class and wished I could be learning phrases in French instead.
Now 43 years later I am so happy that I took that class and learned how to type It has helped me write countless stories with inspiration (灵感) flowing through my heart and mind and into the keys on my computer keyboard. It has helped me to write letters and e-mails full of kindness to share with friends and family. It has helped me to do what I was meant to do and share what I was meant to share in this life. I am thankful to take that class.
We may meet difficulties in life. There are people we need to meet, skills we need to learn, talents we need to have and love we need to share. We’d better accept them all with a grateful heart, even when we don’t know why sometimes

During the five day International Labor Day holiday that began on April 30, tourist attractions that offered ancient Chinese or guofeng experiences attracted a lot of people, some of whom wore traditional clothing and makeup to enhance the pleasure of their experiences.
Qujiang New District in Xi’ an, Shaanxi Province, attracted tourists with a new attraction on the theme (主题) of the TV show The Longest Day in Chang’ an. It offered visitors a chance to “travel back in time” and experience a day in the life of people living in the Tang Dynasty (朝代). Xi’ an, known as Chang’ an back then, was the capital.
The World Rural Tourism Town in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, held a cultural festival with a silk and Song Dynasty theme. During the first three days of the holiday, the place received nearly 30,000 visits, which put it into an online list of the 10 most popular Huzhou attractions.
The Jizhouyao scenic area in Jiangxi Province held a tourism festival with a Song Dynasty theme. Tourists, wearing period costumes and makeup, tried their hand at Touhu — throwing arrows into wine pitchers — and tasted Yonghe Tofu, one of the top 10 Jiangxi dishes.
The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated (加快) changes in the needs of tourists, who are increasingly looking for comfortable and safe tourism products that benefit both the environment and people’s health. For tourism businesses, it’s important to highlight the cultural elements of their products by drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese culture.
Hotels also took advantage of the guofeng craze to feed the growing love for traditional Chinese culture. A guofeng hotel provided replica (仿制品) costumes from online games based on the Chinese classic Journey to the West, which the guests could try on for photos.
8. What does the underlined word “enhance” in Paragraph I mean
A. Recognise. B. Increase. C. Design. D. Request.
9. Qujiang New District attracted tourists because of ________.
A. its delicious food B. its geographical location
C. its beautiful scenery D. its themed tourist attraction
10. What did the World Rural Tourism Town and the Jizhouyao scenic area have in common
A. They were popular online.
B. They offered traditional costumes.
C. They were famous for local snacks.
D. They shared the Song Dynasty theme.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. Guofeng Differs from Place to Place
B. The Traditional Culture Brings Changes
C. The Ancient Culture Adds to Holiday Attraction
D. The Covid-19 Pandemic Changes China’s Tourism
D
Children are more creative when they learn in natural surroundings, according to new research from Curtin University. Primary school students in Australia and England were put to the test to see whether writing poetry in a natural outdoor setting produced more creative outcomes than writing in a classroom, and the answer was yes.
Dr Paul Gardner and Sonja Kuzich from Curtin’s School of Education ran comparative trials with 10-year-old students in both countries and the results, recently published in the Cambridge Journal of Education, gave a big thumbs-up to the positive influence of natural settings. “We found that students who had direct contact with nature by immersing (沉浸) themselves in a bush or forest setting were much more descriptive and vivid in the language they used than the classroom-based writers who ‘imagined’ being in nature through photos,” Dr Gardner said.
In total, 97 students took part in the study, split across four classrooms, including two based at an English primary school and two from a primary school in Western Australia. In each country one class visited a natural bush or forest before writing a poem based on what they saw, smelt and felt. The other class viewed a pile of images of the same bush or forest setting.
Ms Kuzich said the difference in creative language used between the classes was obvious with twice as many UK forest students using figurative (比喻的) language compared with their class-based counterparts. In Australia that figure rose to more than four times when comparing the poetry of the bush-based students with those who remained at school.
The researchers say further studies of larger groups are now recommended to gain greater understanding of the influence of natural spaces and “green learning” in schools. Future research may also be needed to examine if the green learning can be translated into other learning themes or context to see if there is a flow on effect in different environments.
12. Why were the students placed outdoors in nature
A. To get more outdoor exercise.
B. To experience nature in depth.
C. To understand poems about nature better.
D. To prove nature’s effect on creativity.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The specific steps of the experiment.
B. New findings about students’ writing.
C. The steps of training the children.
D. The purpose of performing the test.
14. What can we infer about the result of the study
A. Students in Australia prefer to study poems.
B. Students in classrooms are not good at poems.
C. Students in forests are more creative in writing poems
D. Students in the UK and Australia have different writing skill preferences.
15. What does the last paragraph imply
A. Green learning is becoming a trend.
B. Further studies are to be carried out.
C. Green learning has been applied in school.
D. Future research is of little significance.

“Is everybody ready ” the teacher asked, I certainly wasn’t. It was the early 1980s and 1 was in my high school typing class. I took it as an elective (选修的) course because learning French or Spanish seemed too difficult, After some time, I wished I hadn’t picked it, I had thought we would just be learning to touch type (自打), but not be tested on speed and accuracy (准确率), In addition to this, l was the only freshman in the class, Most of the other students were juniors or seniors.
“Hands on home keys. Eyes on the book, Ready Type,” said the teacher, Suddenly the room was alive with 30 electric typewriters’ keys being pounded (猛击) on, I tried my best to keep up, but it was clear being a clerk wasn’t in my future. Though I didn’t make many errors, my typing speed was very slow and I knew I wasn’t going to get a good grade on this test. I really regretted taking this class and wished I could be learning phrases in French instead.
Now 43 years later I am so happy that I took that class and learned how to type. It has helped me write countless stories with inspiration (灵感) flowing through my heart and mind and into the keys on my computer keyboard. It has helped me to write letters and e-mails full of kindness to share with friends and family. It has helped me to do what I was meant to do and share what I was meant to share in this life. I am thankful to take that class.
We may meet difficulties in life. There are people we need to meet, skills we need to learn, talents we need to have and love we need to share. We’d better accept them all with a grateful heart, even when we don’t know why sometimes

During the five day International Labor Day holiday that began on April 30, tourist attractions that offered ancient Chinese or guofeng experiences attracted a lot of people, some of whom wore traditional clothing and makeup to enhance the pleasure of their experiences.
Qujiang New District in Xi’ an, Shaanxi Province, attracted tourists with a new attraction on the theme (主题) of the TV show The Longest Day in Chang’ an. It offered visitors a chance to “travel back in time” and experience a day in the life of people living in the Tang Dynasty (朝代). Xi’ an, known as Chang’ an back then, was the capital.
The World Rural Tourism Town in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, held a cultural festival with a silk and Song Dynasty theme. During the first three days of the holiday, the place received nearly 30,000 visits, which put it into an online list of the 10 most popular Huzhou attractions.
The Jizhouyao scenic area in Jiangxi Province held a tourism festival with a Song Dynasty theme. Tourists, wearing period costumes and makeup, tried their hand at Touhu — throwing arrows into wine pitchers — and tasted Yonghe Tofu, one of the top 10 Jiangxi dishes.
The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated (加快) changes in the needs of tourists who are increasingly looking for comfortable and safe tourism products that benefit both the environment and people’s health. For tourism businesses, it’s important to highlight the cultural elements of their products by drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese culture.
Hotels also took advantage of the guofeng craze to feed the growing love for traditional Chinese culture. A guofeng hotel provided replica (仿制品) costumes from online games based on the Chinese classic Journey to the West, which the guests could try on for photos.

Children are more creative when they learn in natural surroundings, according to new research from Curtin University. Primary school students in Australia and England were put to the test to see whether writing poetry in a natural outdoor setting produced more creative outcomes than writing in a classroom, and the answer was yes.
Dr Paul Gardner and Sonja Kuzich from Curtin’s School of Education ran comparative trials with 10-year-old students in both countries and the results, recently published in the Cambridge Journal of Education, gave a big thumbs-up to the positive influence of natural settings. “We found that students who had direct contact with nature by immersing (沉浸) themselves in a bush or forest setting were much more descriptive and vivid in the language they used than the classroom-based writers who ‘imagined’ being in nature through photos,” Dr Gardner said.
In total, 97 students took part in the study, split across four classrooms, including two based at an English primary school and two from a primary school in Western Australia. In each country one class visited a natural bush or forest before writing a poem based on what they saw, smelt and felt. The other class viewed a pile of images of the same bush or forest setting.
Ms Kuzich said the difference in creative language used between the classes was obvious with twice as many UK forest students using figurative (比喻的) language compared with their class-based counterparts. In Australia that figure rose to more than four times when comparing the poetry of the bush-based students with those who remained at school.
The researchers say further studies of larger groups are now recommended to gain greater understanding of the influence of natural spaces and “green learning” in schools. Future research may also be needed to examine if the green learning can be translated into other learning themes or context to see if there is a flow on effect in different environments.
12. Why were the students placed outdoors in nature
A. To get more outdoor exercise.
B. To experience nature in depth.
C. To understand poems about nature better.
D. To prove nature’s effect on creativity.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The specific steps of the experiment.
B. New findings about students’ writing.
C. The steps of training the children.
D. The purpose of performing the test.
14. What can we infer about the result of the study
A. Students in Australia prefer to study poems.
B. Students in classrooms are not good at poems.
C. Students in forests are more creative in writing poems
D. Students in the UK and Australia have different writing skill preferences.
15. What does the last paragraph imply
A. Green learning is becoming a trend.
B. Further studies are to be carried out.
C. Green learning has been applied in school.
D. Future research is of little significance.
