72 Hours in Beijing
Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa-free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let抯 start with the capital of China, Beijing.

Mutianyu Great Wall

798 Art Zone
This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s.

You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.
Summer Palace
Located in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city抯 most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.
Sichuan Provincial Restaurant
While in Beijing, apart from trying the city抯 best-known Peking duck the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of the places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China抯 eight great cuisines, Sichuan, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.

Free Haircuts on a Red Chair
Last summer, Katie Steller was on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man, in his 60s,looking out of luck, was sitting alone. She rolled down her window.
揌ey! she shouted. I抦 driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?
The man, missing a few teeth, paused and laughed. 揂ctually, he said, 揑 have a funeral(葬礼)to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”
Then, Steller unloaded a red chair from the car. The man,named Edward, took a seat.As Steller was cutting his curly graying hair,he told her about growing up in Mississippi,about moving to Minnesota,and how he still talked to his mom over phone every day.
To date,Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city.They are all living on the margins,and she is aware of the power of her work.
揑t抯 more than a haircut,攕he says.揑 want it to be a gateway,to show value and respect,but also to get to know people.
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life.One changed hers:As a teen,she suffered from ulcerative colitis(溃疡性结肠炎)that was so serious,her hair thinned severely.Seeing this,her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness,it helped me feel cared about and less alone,”she says.
After that,Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day.Not long after finishing cosmetology school(美容学校)in 2016,she realized her dream.Two years later,she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project,reaching out to people on the streets.
Steller said,揑 can抰 fix their problems,but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.擲teller listens to people抯 stories of loss,addiction,and struggle to get back on their feet.
An off shoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project,in which people who commit acts of kindness are invited for a free makeover(美容)at Steller’s salon.In exchange,they tell their stories,which Steller shares on her website.Her hope is that by reading about kind acts,others will be inspired to do their own.
So far,it’s working.“You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give to them,攕ays Steller.

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable(不自在) when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children抯 trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young. They show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset(扰乱) by something unexpected.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it. Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture(文化) of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say 搚es to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents control.
If you plan to control your life, you抎 better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility(责任) , they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
28 .This article is particularly written for .
A. parents B. both parents and their children C. young people D. teachers
29.According to the text, young people tend to .
A.ask for advice before they really start to do anything
B.do things without thinking carefully ahead
C.be very strict with themselves D. think in the same way as their parents do
30 . According to the text, young people want to make a new culture of their own, because .
A.they want to show they have grown up
B.they do not want to get into trouble
C.they feel they are cleverer than the older people
D.they don抰 feel they belong to the world of the older people
31.If a young man plans to control his own life, it抯 better for him to .
A.do everything according to his own wish
B.do everything the way his parents do
C.do everything under his parents control
D.do everything with a high sense of responsibility
D
It happens from time to time that after a whole morning of studying, you are tired in the afternoon. It抯 then that you might want to eat something sweet, perhaps a Coke or a chocolate bar, to lift your mood. After all it抯 popularly believed that a 搒ugar rush gives us energy.
But a study published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews in April suggests that sugar can make us feel worse rather than boost our moods.
The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1,300 adults. They studied the effect of sugar on various aspects of mood, including anger, alertness, depression and tiredness.
They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour and that these feelings become more intense over time.
According to the researchers, when people take in sugar their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short 揻eel good period. However, as they begin to digest the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly leading to a bad feeling.
To remain on a 揾igh people are likely to eat more and more sugar until they become addicted to it. As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people feeling tired and less alert.
But the study findings needn抰 make us think we must give up sweet food altogether. According to the World Health Organization
it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk so long as these make up less than 5 percent of daily total energy intake.
So the next time you feel tired and can抰 concentrate, perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar. Maybe a spot of exercise at midday would be a better idea!
Tips for beating afternoon fatigue.
* Head outside and sit in the daylight for 10 minutes.
* Get into the routine of a mid-afternoon cup of tea.
* Plan group activities for midday.
* Add variety to your routine.
32. What does the underlined word boost in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. harm B. improve C. control D. change
33. How did the people feel after they had sugar in the study?
A. They felt more tired. B. They felt relaxed.
C. They were more alert. D. They felt energetic.
34. What do we learn from Paragraphs 5-6?
A. Our mood is connected to our blood sugar levels.
B. Taking in more sugar benefits mental health.
C. Getting caffeine is another way to relax.
D. Sugar and caffeine are all the same.
35. What would the author suggest people do when they are tired?
A. Give up sweet food. B. Have a bar of chocolate.
C. Do not some exercise. D. Eat foods with natural sugars.

Everyone sleeps. However, taking the time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can’t be forgotten. 36
Watching TV until you fall asleep
It has nothing to do with what you watch 桾V news isn抰 a better pre-sleep choice than TV series.
37 . The bright light keeps you awake all the night. So even if you nod off (in front of the TV, for example), you probably won抰 stay asleep for long.
Sleeping with pets
38 . They get comfortable, and then they move. This goes on all night, and whether you admit it or not, it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested.
Eating fatty, heavy foods too close to bedtime
Heartburn (烧心，胃痛) strikes anyone of any age, but it’s the most common GI disorder (胃肠失调) in older adults. If you’ve ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you’ve probably found the discomfort of stomach preventing you from falling asleep or staying asleep.
39
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever梩urning over and over again, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect梚t raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed until your body temperature drops to normal, which may take several hours.
Accepting snoring (打呼噜) as normal sleep behavior
Snoring may seem as common as breathing, but it’s considered the biggest sleep killer, and it’s linked to several causes: sleeping on your back, being overweight, having a cold, drinking, or taking drugs. 40 . For the snorer, it disturbs sleep by awakening him/her every so often in order to breathe normally. For the partner, the noise can be unbearable.
A.Exercising heavily too close to bedtime
B.Here are some suggestions you抣l need to follow
C.Reducing your body temperature before bedtime
D.Rather it抯 the TV抯 bright light that is the criminal
E.Here are some bad habits you need to get rid of
F.Most seriously, it抯 caused by a dangerous illness
G.Pets sleep most of the day, and they move a lot when sleeping

One possible version:
Dear fellow students，
The earth is faced with serious pollution and energy shortage. It is time for us to lead a low-carbon lifestyle in order to protect the earth. I think everyone should take an active part.
First of all, we should walk or ride our bikes instead of taking cars or buses to save fuel and reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. Second, when shopping, we should bring our own shopping bags instead of buying plastic bags, which cause white pollution. And it’ s important for us to save electricity whenever possible. Last but not least, we should turn off the tap after we use the running water. If we can make a small change in our way of life, we can make a big difference to the earth!
Dear fellow students, let’s take action right now!
