A
Fall Is the Best Time to Visit These National Parks
Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee)
Wandering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, the Natchez Trace is impressive for more than 10,000 years of American history and some of the prettiest scenery in the South. Its autumn is splendid with fall leaves, as well as migratory birds making their way south. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20).
Big Bend National Park (Texas)
The huge park often flies under the radar because it’s so far off the beaten path. But it’s worth the drive for those who enjoy wild rivers, surprising desert landscapes, and special history. By the end of September, 80-degree temperatures are the norm, especially in the high-altitude, forested Chisos Basin, located in the heart of the park. Because the rainy season lasts till September, water is still high on the Rio Grande, which means almost ideal conditions for canoe camping.
White Sands National Park (New Mexico)
Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall, especially for those backpack-camping the park’s wilderness trail. Another reason to visit in the fall are awesome full moons that lighten the mysterious landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons — when the celestial body appears larger than normal because it’s closer to the Earth — with Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17.
Capitol Reef National Park (Utah)
As one of the largest national parks in the lower 48 states, Capitol Reef is never overcrowded, not even during the summer vacation season. But there’s a special reason to visit in the fall-harvest season in the fruit gardens of historic Fruita. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears, and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby camp and picnic area.
1. What does the underlined part “flies under the radar” probably mean
A. Stands out. B. Goes unnoticed.
C. Faces bad comments. D. Plays an important role.
2. What do Natchez Trace Parkway and White Sands National Park have in common
A. They both have open areas for camping.
B. They both have special events in October.
C. They both have amazing desert landscapes.
D. They both have a history of more than 10,000 years.
3. What is special about Capitol Reef National Park
A. It is crowded in autumn.
B. It is famous for fruit-planting.
C. It is convenient for visitors to pick fresh fruits.
D. It is the largest national park around the world.
B
Yang Li, a native Miao woman passionate about embroidery, owns a folk culture products shop that sells Miao embroidery, batik cloth, and silver jewelry. At first, the small shop struggled as there were many similar products on the market. Yang realized the need for a unique brand to stand out from the competition. During a hike in Fanjing Mountain in July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand on a thorny leaf. This gave her an idea; “There are leaf-vein bookmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nobody created leaf-vein embroidery yet ”
Obviously, the reason behind this is that embroidering on leaves requires delicate skills that few possess. Yang Li collected thousands of leaves from Fanjing Mountain and processed them by steaming, boiling, and tanning them to expose their veins. While the leaves become soft, they are also extremely fragile. The biggest challenge was improving the flexibility of the leaves. After consulting local expert Shen Min, she learned that soaking them in acidic water could make them tough enough for embroidery.
Through continuous learning and practice, she succeeded in creating her first piece of leaf-vein embroidery, which perfectly combines traditional embroidery patterns with the natural textures of the leaves. By adding traditional designs from the Miao, Tujia, and Dong ethnic groups, she produced art that exhibits a unique aesthetic appeal of traditional embroidery with contemporary craftsmanship. Yang notes that typically, only those with decades of embroidery experience can independently complete the entire leaf-embroidery process, which is fewer than 20 people in Tongren from 2011 to now.
Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women, and people with disabilities. “Guizhou is a province with a large number of ethnic groups and has a long history of ethnic embroidery skills,” she says. “I will keep doing the leaf-vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful.”
4. What inspired Yang Li to create leaf-vein embroidery
A. Her love for Miao embroidery. B. The discovery of a special leaf.
C. An accidental injury to her hand. D. A decrease in her shop’s earnings.
5. What is the biggest challenge for Yang Li
A. Softening the leaves. B. Exposing veins of leaves.
C. Collecting suitable leaves. D. Making leaves more flexible.
6. What do we know about Yang Li’s leaf-vein embroidery
A. It is costly to complete a single piece.
B. It is well-received by international consumers.
C. It is demanding for cooperation between craftsmen.
D. It is a unique combination of artistic elements.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Yang Li
A. Creative and dedicated. B. Ambitious and cautious.
C. Passionate and humorous. D. Optimistic and considerate.
C
Paris embraces the Olympic spirit with a burst of creativity, as nearly 30 colorful street art pieces have transformed the city into an open- air gallery. These artworks, capturing scenes such as the dynamic French fencer Ysaora Thibus and the calm boaters on the Seine River, have made a lasting impression on people.
Street artists come from different countries. Their pieces not only capture the essence of Parisian life, from the busy coffee shops to the charming bookstores, but also extend to airports in Lille, Lyon, and Marseille. These cities are co- hosting some of the Olympic events. Street art bridges the gap between high culture and everyday life, making art accessible to everyone. It promotes shared appreciation, inspiring conversations in public spaces like subway stations and airports and encouraging interaction among people of different backgrounds.
The Olympics follow strict guidelines and show national spirit, while street art is freer and shows many different cultures from the community. Despite their differences, both the Olympic spirit and the world of art share a common platform of values that celebrate the pursuit of excellence, encouraging individuals to reach their highest potential. Creativity and innovation are central to both, driving artists to create with every brushstroke and athletes to excel in every performance as they both explore new heights of achievement.
Art competitions first appeared at the Olympics in 1912 in Stockholm, with medals awarded in five categories: architecture, literature, music, painting and sculpture. However, the International Olympic Committee ended the competitions in the 1948 Games. Now, the spirit of the Olympics is reflected in the street art that brightens every corner of Paris. “Artists are like athletes. They also require a lot of effort and determination,” said JonOne, who is a pioneer of street art. “I respect athletes in basketball and runners. Art is not really a sport, but it should be included in the Olympics. Just surviving as an artist is an Olympic sport.”
8. What do we know about street art according to paragraph 2
A. It centers around Olympic events. B. It helps strengthen social connections.
C. It encourages cooperation between artists. D. It is displayed in open- air galleries in Paris.
9. What do the Olympics and street art have in common
A. They have strict standards to follow.
B. They reflect the creativity of communities.
C. They emphasize the importance of competition.
D. They inspire individuals to pursue their full potential.
10. Which of the following statements will JonOne probably agree with
A. Art should be integrated with the Olympic Games.
B. Artists deserve respect from people from all walks of life.
C. Street artists should make use of the Olympics to gain popularity.
D. The Olympics motivates many artists to create pioneering works.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Street Art Honors Olympic Athletes B. Street Art Adds Colors to the Olympics
C. The Olympics Draw Global Attention to Artists D. The Olympics Make Art Walk into People’s Life
D
Going against the tendency of flooding to well-known yet crowded tourist attractions on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China are spending their holidays at lesser-known places to look for special and relaxed holiday experiences. “Reverse tourism” has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
During the public holidays, large numbers of vacationers, especially youth who long to escape their busy city lives, avoid popular holiday tourist attractions in order to get off the beaten track and enjoy some peace and quietness.
According to data from online travel agency Qunar, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four and five-star hotels in less-traveled places, including Linxia in Gansu province and Shizuishan in the Ningxia, all increased at least 10 times from the same period of the past year. Even 12.5 percent of youth who normally have little time for themselves simply had a time in a hotel to make the much-awaited holiday more relaxing.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular attractions, which often include expensive tickets, meals and hotel stays. What’ more, lesser-known attractions are able to offer more natural experiences, according to social media posts. And unlike popular attractions, some undeveloped places with little online attention can offer more surprises.
Jiang Han a senior researcher at the Beijing-based public policy think tank Pangoal, said that reverse (反向) tourism will become one of the future directions for the market and is an opportunity for growth which can match the camping economy.
12. Which of the following will you probably choose if you support “reverse tourism”
A. A famous place of interest on holidays.
B. A unique and impressive vacation.
C. A developed attraction to enjoy yourself.
D. A lesser-known place for leisure.
13. How does the author develop paragraph 3
A. By giving numbers. B. By listing reasons.
C. By comparing opinions. D. By following time order.
14. What’s Jiang Han’s attitude towards the future of reverse tourism
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Uncaring.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Lesser-known attractions become a hit.
B. The future of reverse tourism is uncertain.
C. Popular tourist spots are facing challenges.
D. Reverse tourism is money-saving.

Living a joyful life does not mean saying no to painful emotions. Instead, it means developing a state of mind that prefers an positive view of the world. Meanwhile, it means developing healthy ways to deal with difficult emotions. Here are five reasons why joy is a powerful life choice.
Joy improves physical health. In recent years, science continues to prove the connection between emotional well being and physical health. According to a study in BMC Cancer, researchers found that being happy and positive may protect against breast cancer. ____16____

____18____ If you want to improve the connections with others in your life, become a happier person.

When you have a positive outlook, you tend to reach out to people in your life from a place of gratitude and love. This helps the other feel more valued.
Joy furthers creativity. Perhaps the typical sad image of artists has led some to feel that pains may inspire art, yet this is not the secret for creativity. ____19____ According to Scientific American, happy people are open to all sorts of ideas, and people are most creative when they are in a good mood.
Joy creates more Joy! ____20____ Well, it is also true with joy. When you surround yourself with positive people, you experience more happiness in your own life. By spending more time with happy people, you may feel happier, which inspires even more joy in those you meet!
