From the last of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing to a presidential gaffe (失态) that inspired a huge new project, these are only a few of the incredible historical places worth exploring in Egypt.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu
The Great Pyramid of Khufu in Cairo is the largest and most northerly of the three famous pyramids at Giza, and the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing today. As the largest pyramid ever built, it is a wonder mainly because of its grand scale (规模) and the incredible precision with which the building work was conducted. Designed by Khufu’s cousin Hemon, the pyramid originally stood 482 feet high with four equal sides each measuring 755 feet.
The Luxor Temple
The Luxor Temple is an ancient Egyptian temple that lies on the east bank of the Nile. It was dedicated to the gods — Amun, his wife Mut and their son Chons. The earliest parts of the temple existing today date from 1408 B．C． Access to the temple is via the Avenue of Sphinxes, which once stretched 1.86 miles from the Luxor Temple to the Temple of Karnak in the north.
The New Gourna
The New Gourna is an uncompleted housing project in Luxor from the 1940s that was created to move away the villagers of Old Gourna, who economically sustained their community by stealing local Pharoanic tombs — much to the displeasure of the Egyptian Department of Antiquities, who wanted to move the 7,000 locals away from the area. Hassan Fathy, an architect known for his rural housing and traditional methods, was hired to design the new village on a site 50 miles away.

The Life Impossible By Matt Haig
Filled with wonder and wild adventure, this book is a story of hope and the life-changing power of a new beginning. When retired math teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on an island by a long-lost friend, curiosity gets the better of her.

Night Magic By Leigh Ann Henion
In this book, New York Times bestselling nature writer Leigh Ann Henion invites us to leave our well-lit homes, step outside and embrace the dark as an extremely beautiful part of the world.

Blood Test: A Comedy By Charles Baxter
Blood Test: A Comedy is a humorous play that digs into the chaos and absurdity(荒诞) surrounding a routine medical check-up.

Best books chosen by Pagan Kennedy
Pagan Kennedy is an all-round individual widely known for her work as an author, journalist, and speaker. Below are the books she recommends offering hope and companionship in dark times.
Tunnel 29 by Helena Merriman (2021). In 1961, a wall went up around East Berlin in the middle of the night, preventing almost everyone from fleeing. That step into fascism (法西斯主义) inspired a group of students to engineer an escape route, digging a tunnel that snaked from a basement in East Berlin to freedom. Merriman has reconstructed a lost history that unfolds like a heist movie (盗匪电影).
Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin (1956). Baldwin tends to be remembered as an essayist and author of The Fire Next Time. But if you’re exploring his work, consider starting with this novel, a page-turner about people trying to live their truth in the 1950s.
Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe (2021). I was sucked into this book because I couldn’t look away from its characters’ evil. In a lightning war of brilliant reporting, Keefe reveals how the most sinful members of the Sackler family built a Big Pharma empire and pushed opiates (鸦片) into doctors’ offices and eventually the streets.
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood (1985). Years ago, Atwood asked herself a question, “If you wanted to seize power in the United States and set up a dictatorship, how would you go about it ” The 2017 TV adaptation of this novel was excellent, but you should really hold the story in your hand and read it. After all, it portrays a terrible society in which women have lost the right to even touch a book.
1．What is special about Tunnel 29 according to the text
A．It was created by James Baldwin. B．It is based on a true-life story of escape.
C．It was written to oppose fascism directly. D．It has been adapted into a popular movie.
2．What attracted Pagan Kennedy to Empire of Pain
A．The evil figures within the narrative.
B．The author’s brilliant writing style.
C．The book’s focus on scientific innovation.
D．The exposure of the Sackler family’s business model,
3．Why does Pagan Kennedy suggest reading The Handmaid’s Tale
A．Because its TV adaptation is not as good as the book.
B．Because it describes a unique power-seizing process in the US.
C．Because it helps people understand the current social situation better.
D．Because it shows a terrifying society where women’s rights are severely restricted.

Correct First Aid Misbeliefs
As for parenting, first aid knowledge is important. Yet there exist several commonly held beliefs that, unfortunately, are incorrect. These mistaken beliefs can stop us effectively responding to emergencies involving our children. Here are the current recommendations from the Red Cross for each misunderstanding.
NosebleedsIncorrect: Put cotton wool balls into the nose to stop the bleeding. Why: In reality, putting them into your kids’ nose can prevent blood clotting (凝结) and likely make the bleeding worse. Correct: ●Sit forward and squeeze the nostrils below the bridge to close the nose for 10-15 minutes. Breathe through the mouth during this time. ●After the bleeding stops, don’t blow, rub or pick the nose.
BurnsIncorrect: Immediately apply ice or butter for heat burns to relieve the pain. Why: Ice applied directly to burned skin can increase skin damage. It slows healing and makes it harder for a doctor to treat the burned area. Correct: ●Cool the burned area with cool water for 10 minutes. ●Cover the burn loosely with a clean bandage. If the burn gets worse or infected, see a doctor.
FeverIncorrect: Use rubbing alcohol to lower a fever. Why: Wiping rubbing alcohol on the skin doesn’t cool the body or reduce fever. And it can be absorbed through skin, especially for your kids and babies, causing alcohol poisoning. Correct: ●Give fever-reducing medicine. ●Call a doctor if you’re unsure or the fever doesn’t go away.
1．What is the correct practice for a nose bleeding according to the text
A．Blocking the nose with cotton.
B．Holding the nose closed for a moment.
C．Blowing the nose to clear blood.
D．Raising arms to a certain height.
2．What is the mistaken belief about the treatment of burns
A．Butter can worsen the burned area.
B．Cool water cannot touch the burns.
C．Ice can relieve the pain immediately.
D．The burned area can’t be covered by a bandage.
3．Which of the following is the side effect of using the alcohol to lower a fever
A．Alcohol poisoning. B．Skin damage.
C．Higher temperature. D．Pain and discomfort.

Almost every day, we learn of disasters of one form or another through the media. These include not just major disasters that affect large areas for a long time. A severe storm, an electric power breakdown, or a house fire can bring a personal disaster to an individual. This brochure aims to help you develop your personal preparedness plan.
Stockpiling food and drink
●Drinking is more important than eating. Keep about 14 liters of liquid per person in stock for each week.
●No experiments. Your supplies should mainly consist of food and drink that you normally have.
●Ensure that your supplies can be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration and that most of them can be eaten cold.
Electric power breakdown
●Keep a supply of torches and candles, as well as spare batteries, matches or lighters in the house. Remember that batteries do not last indefinitely. Regularly use the batteries up and replace them.
●You can prepare smaller meals on a camping stove, one that can be operated through the use of charcoal or gas.
Emergency pack
●The aim of a disaster supplies kit should be to help you to cope with the possibility of having to exist for a few days outside of your house. Don’t take more for each family member than could be conveniently contained within the confines of a rucksack. A rucksack is more practical than a suitcase, as it allows you to have both hands free.
●The emergency rucksack should contain these items
—First aid materials, personal medication
—Food for two days in dust-proof packaging
—Water bottle, cutlery and crockery
—Sleeping bag or blanket
—Hygiene products for a couple of days
●The correct clothing
—Waterproof clothing and shoes
—Masks or damp cloths that you can hold in front of your mouth in the event of danger from chemical substances.
Keep up-to-date in an emergency
Floods or heavy snowfalls may lead to parts of the population getting cut off from the outside world. Information and warnings are important for survival. Those who are trapped can often only be reached by radio, television or the Internet. However, television and the Internet only work when there is electric power, which could fail. This leaves just the radio as the main warning device. Therefore, always keep a battery-powered radio or a wind-up (用手柄操作的) radio in the house.
About us
The Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) was established in 2004 as a central organizational unit for civil security in Germany. The BBK is your reliable partner for emergency preparedness and self-help. You can find further information on our website www.bbk.bund.de.
1．What is the purpose of this brochure

B．It is to ask people to store food and drink in daily life.
C．It is to provide some suggestions on how to survive in a disaster.
D．It is to advertise the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance.
2．Why is it advised to use a rucksack rather than a suitcase for an emergency pack
A．A rucksack frees you from both hands. B．A rucksack is more durable than a suitcase.
C．A rucksack has more functions than a suitcase. D．A rucksack can contain more stuff than a suitcase.
3．What is the main device to get warnings in a disaster

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) offers prospective university students, university graduates and young people, in general, a perfect opportunity. TEFL-certified teachers see new corners of the world and gain priceless, international work experience.
Qualifications and certificates to teach English abroad
Generally, you don’t need to have a bachelor’s degree or, indeed, any university degree to get started. All you need is the finances to start a course and the ability to speak English. What you will need is TEFL certification. Employers want to know you have the skills to successfully navigate (驾驭) a course.
The start-up costs of teaching English abroad
For a start, you need to invest in a suitable TEFL course. If you’re heading to a country that requires a visa, there will be fees involved. It’s also worth remembering that you’ll also need money to cover costs after you arrive until your first month’s pay arrives in your account. This could include rent, groceries, leisure activities and more.

2．细节理解题。根据Garmin Forerunner 55中第一句“If you’re new to running watches, starting with one that doubles as both a GPS tracker for running and a general smartwatch is a great way to get a versatile (多功能的) tool you can use every day even if you aren’t running every day.

From the last of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing to a presidential gaffe (失态) that inspired a huge new project, these are only a few of the incredible historical places worth exploring in Egypt.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu
The Great Pyramid of Khufu in Cairo is the largest and most northerly of the three famous pyramids at Giza, and the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing today. As the largest pyramid ever built, it is a wonder mainly because of its grand scale (规模) and the incredible precision with which the building work was conducted. Designed by Khufu’s cousin Hemon, the pyramid originally stood 482 feet high with four equal sides each measuring 755 feet.
The Luxor Temple
The Luxor Temple is an ancient Egyptian temple that lies on the east bank of the Nile. It was dedicated to the gods — Amun, his wife Mut and their son Chons. The earliest parts of the temple existing today date from 1408 B．C． Access to the temple is via the Avenue of Sphinxes, which once stretched 1.86 miles from the Luxor Temple to the Temple of Karnak in the north.
The New Gourna
The New Gourna is an uncompleted housing project in Luxor from the 1940s that was created to move away the villagers of Old Gourna, who economically sustained their community by stealing local Pharoanic tombs — much to the displeasure of the Egyptian Department of Antiquities, who wanted to move the 7,000 locals away from the area. Hassan Fathy, an architect known for his rural housing and traditional methods, was hired to design the new village on a site 50 miles away.
1．What makes the Great Pyramid of Khufu a wonder
A．Its special location. B．Its design creativity.
C．Its size and accuracy. D．Its building difficulties.
2．What can be inferred about the Luxor Temple
A．It has a history of about 620 years. B．It attracts visitors to go there by boat.

3．What do the three places have in common

2．推理判断题。根据第三段“It was dedicated to the gods — Amun, his wife Mut and their son Chons.(它是献给众神阿蒙、他的妻子穆特和他们的儿子Chons的)”可知，建造卢克索神庙是为了表示对上帝的尊重。故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据第一段“From the last of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing to a presidential gaffe (失态) that inspired a huge new project, these are only a few of the incredible historical places worth exploring in Egypt.(从世界七大奇迹中的最后一个幸存下来，到总统的失态激发了一个巨大的新项目，这些只是埃及值得探索的令人难以置信的历史遗迹中的一小部分)”及全文内容可知，文章介绍了埃及的三个历史文化景点，并且这三个地方都有丰富的历史价值。故选B。

Best books chosen by Pagan Kennedy
Pagan Kennedy is an all-round individual widely known for her work as an author, journalist, and speaker. Below are the books she recommends offering hope and companionship in dark times.
Tunnel 29 by Helena Merriman (2021). In 1961, a wall went up around East Berlin in the middle of the night, preventing almost everyone from fleeing. That step into fascism (法西斯主义) inspired a group of students to engineer an escape route, digging a tunnel that snaked from a basement in East Berlin to freedom. Merriman has reconstructed a lost history that unfolds like a heist movie (盗匪电影).
Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin (1956). Baldwin tends to be remembered as an essayist and author of The Fire Next Time. But if you’re exploring his work, consider starting with this novel, a page-turner about people trying to live their truth in the 1950s.
Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe (2021). I was sucked into this book because I couldn’t look away from its characters’ evil. In a lightning war of brilliant reporting, Keefe reveals how the most sinful members of the Sackler family built a Big Pharma empire and pushed opiates (鸦片) into doctors’ offices and eventually the streets.
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood (1985).

After all, it portrays a terrible society in which women have lost the right to even touch a book.

1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 1961, a wall went up around East Berlin in the middle of the night, preventing almost everyone from fleeing. That step into fascism inspired a group of students to engineer an escape route, digging a tunnel that snaked from a basement in East Berlin to freedom. Merriman has reconstructed a lost history that unfolds like a heist movie.(1961年，一夜之间，东柏林周围竖起了一堵墙，几乎阻止了所有人的逃离。这走向法西斯主义的一步激发了一群学生设计一条逃生路线，他们挖掘了一条从东柏林地下室蜿蜒通向自由的隧道。梅里曼重构了一段被遗忘的历史，这段历史展开就像一部盗匪电影。)”可知，《隧道29号》的特别之处在于它是基于一个真实的逃生故事创作的。故选B项。
2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“I was sucked into this book because I couldn’t look away from its characters’ evil. In a lightning war of brilliant reporting, Keefe reveals how the most sinful members of the Sackler family built a Big Pharma empire and pushed opiates into doctors’ offices and eventually the streets.(我被这本书吸引住了，因为我无法从书中人物的邪恶上移开视线。在一场精彩报道的闪电战中，基夫揭示了萨克勒家族中最罪恶的成员是如何建立起一个大型制药帝国，并将鸦片剂推向医生的办公室，最终推向街头的。)”可知，吸引Pagan Kennedy读《痛苦帝国》的是书中叙述的邪恶人物。故选A项。

After all, it portrays a terrible society in which women have lost the right to even touch a book.(2017 年这部小说改编的电视剧非常精彩，但你真的应该亲自捧起这本书来读一读。毕竟，它描绘了一个可怕的社会，在这个社会中，女性甚至失去了触摸一本书的权利。)”可知，Pagan Kennedy建议读《使女的故事》是因为它展示了一个女性权利受到严重限制的可怕社会。故选D项。
