The United Kingdom has long been a favorite European tourist destination for many because of its beautiful countryside, historic cities, top museums and outstanding theaters. Here are some of the best places to visit in the UK.

Cambridge is a charming English city located on the River Cam just north of London. As the home to one of the world’s top universities, the Universities of Cambridge, it has all of the cultural and entertainment options you might expect from a college town.

Stonehenge
One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge consists of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones in southwest England.

Jamil Jan Kochai, the author of 99 Nights in Logar, searched for more than ten years for Susan
Lung — the second-grade teacher who had changed his life over 20 years earlier. On Saturday night, the two were finally reunited at one of his book-reading events.
The writer was born in a refugee camp （难民营） for Afghans in Peshawar, Pakistan, and his family moved to California when he was just a year old. At home, they spoke mostly Pashto and some Farsi, so by the time he reached first grade, he was at a total loss because he could hardly speak English. Then came Mrs. Lung, who quickly realized that Kochai was deeply struggling at Alyce Norman Elementary School.
The two got to work, meeting for one-on-one lessons nearly every day after school. At the end of the school year, Kochai won reading-comprehension competitions.
Lung and Kochai lost contact when Kochai’s father got a job in another city and the boy moved on, with a new love of reading and writing. When he grew older, Kochai’s parents encouraged him to find his former teacher to thank her. But despite his efforts, he failed to track her down.
“I didn’t know her first name. She was always just Mrs. Lung to me, so when I called places to ask about her, they couldn’t find any records of her,” Kochai said.
Then, while promoting his first novel, he wrote an essay for Literary Hub magazine touching on the transformative impact that Lung had on his life. Lung’s doctor happened to read it, and told the now-retired educator about that.
Lung’s husband saw a Facebook post about Kochai’s reading event on Saturday in Davis, California and suggested he drive his wife there.
“I had no idea they were going to be there,” Kochai said. “It was just like a sweet dream. Mrs. Lung was sitting in the front row. She was just the same Mrs. Lung. Just as sweet, kind and warm as ever.”
Kochai and Lung hugged, and Kochai finally got the chance to express to her how much he still thought of her and how much she meant to him.
4 How did Mrs. Lung help Kochai
A. By dropping by his house regularly. B. By asking him to read more in class.
C. By spending extra time teaching him. D. By saving him out of a refugee camp.
5. Why did Kochai have difficulty finding Mrs. Lung
A. There were few records about her. B. His parents provided little support.
C. He was too young to remember her. D. He had few information about her.
6. How did Kochai feel when seeing Mrs. Lung at his reading event
A. Surprised B. Disappointed C. Curious D. Uneasy
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A Distinguished Guest Showed Up at a Reading Event
B. A Writer Was Finally Reunited With His Former Teacher
C. A Famous Teacher Saved a Poor Student’s Whole Life
D. A Book Changed a Celebrity and a Retired Teacher
C
In the rush of day-to-day life, we don’t always have the time to slow down and move at our own speed. Even on vacation, we always try to visit, do and taste as many things as possible in a new place or many places.
“I’ve heard countless times how tired people are when they come back from their vacation and feel like they ‘need a vacation from their vacation,’ and that’s because many times we pack so much
into a very short time,” said travel blogger Esther Susag. “We want to see everything, do everything, and not waste a minute.
There is, however, another method that many experienced travelers suggest: slow travel. But what exactly is slow travel, and how do you take full advantage of this kind of trip Below ,travel experts break it down.
As the name suggests, slow travel generally needs travelers to slow down and enjoy each moment, rather than rushing to check off the list items. “Slow travel may mean different things to different travelers, but I define (定义) it as staying in one place for longer and going deeper into the local culture,” said Paul Jacobs, general manager and vice president of Kayak North America. “It’s taking the time to make real connections with locals instead of packing a schedule full of tours.”
For travel expert and author La Carmina, slow travel allows people to stop and smell the roses- quite directly. “It’s about being fully present in the moment and experiencing the sights, sounds and sensations ( 感 觉 ) around you completely “letting the experience develop at its own speed and without expectations,” she said. “To me, slow travel doesn’t have a strict definition or certain things to do, but rather focuses on the feeling of being a visitor to a place.”
Slow travel is becoming more and more popular now, because it can do good to us in many ways.
8. Why are people tired when they return from their vacation
A. They have no place to rest.
B. They are on a busy schedule when traveling.
C. They travel to some places far away.
D. They feel quite excited and enjoy their trip fully.
9. What does La Carmina think of slow travel
A. It can let travelers experience the place deeply.
B. It can make travelers connect with locals.
C. It can allow travelers to explore more places.
D. It can save travelers much more time.
10. What might the author continue talking about
A. Other ways of travel.
B. The definition of slow travel.
C. The proper places for slow travel.
D. The advantages of slow travel.
11. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the text
A．Life. B．Society. C．Sports. D．Education.
D
In an ideal world, we would be able to devote as much time to sports as we feel we need. But in reality, with growing demands in both work and family, we can only jump at the chance for our physical exercise when we can. Making the most of that time to practice Yin Yang yoga, which mixes the dynamic and slow-paced elements of yoga, helps keep you active and relaxed.
Yin and Yang are the Taoist concepts representing a balance of opposite forces which are also interconnected. Yin is inactive, cooling, and negative, associated with the female force. Yang is
active, warming, and positive, associated with action and movement. They are complementary to one another, as one cannot exist without the other.
Yin Yang yoga is a combination （结合体) of high-energy movement which builds energy, increases strength and promotes stamina (耐力), followed by the more restful practice of Yin to give us a deeper stretch (拉伸) and calm the nervous system.
If you have a busy and active life you may feel more in Yang, so taking some cooler, slower Yin yoga practice into your routine may help you feel calmer and more balanced.
If you are practicing for an hour, divide the time in half. Warm up with sun salutations (拜日式瑜伽), continue into a dynamic flow and then move on to some standing postures. After half an hour your heart will be pumping, muscles tighten up and you are hopefully feeling energetic, but ready for a rest. Then pick five Yin postures to hold for 3-5 minutes, or even longer if you are enjoying them!
As ever with yoga, if you are a beginner or have health issues, always attend a class with a trained instructor first to guide you safely through the yoga practice and avoid injury.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Most of our sports time should be spent on Yin Yang yoga.
B. We’d better devote as much time to physical exercise as we can.
C. Busy schedule makes it impossible for us to do any form of sports.
D. Yin Yang yoga can be a choice of physical exercise when we are busy.
13. What does the underlined word “complementary” probably mean in the second paragraph
A. Independent from one another.
B. Competitive against one another.
C. Similar to each other but unable to work together as a whole.
D. Different from each other but together making a good combination.
14. Which of the following might be the advantage of Yin postures
A. Relaxing muscles. B. Building stamina.
C. Strengthening the body. D. Quickening the heartbeat.
15. What suggestion does the writer give in the last two paragraphs
A. Hold each Yin posture for longer than 5 minutes.
B. Do not practice yoga when you are not in good health.
C. Start your yoga practice with an expert trainer.
D. Spare half an hour for five Yin postures in every yoga practice.

How to Encourage Your High School Students to Do Their Best
Encouraging your high school students to do their best isn’t as hard as you may think. It should become part of a daily routine that both you and your teen can enjoy more than fear. The following tips may help you:
◆ 16 Know what classes he/she is taking, what does your teen think of the teacher or ask if your teen feels he/she is learning anything. This is an excellent dinner table conversation if you can keep it light and relaxing.
◆ Set the expectations. 17 You would not do your teen any favors by not telling him/her what grades you will be expecting. Send a clear message to your teen about the grades you expect to see in each class. Keep your expectations in line with what your teen feels he/she can do.
◆ 18 While your teen will need to keep his/her goals in line with your expectations, he/she may have a goal that he/she feels important too. Learning to establish goals teaches independence, one of the things your teen needs to learn to become a successful adult.
◆ Have what they need at home, or a way to get it. Resources（资源） are important for high school students. Your family should have library cards or a way to access the Internet for homework.
19 It is also a good idea to set up a mobile homework center.
◆ Stay involved. Show support for your teen’s school by attending parents’ meetings and other activities. 20 Always respect your teen’s teachers but do not be afraid to ask them tough questions. Please be your teen’s advocate (拥护者) when necessary.
A. Help him/her establish goals.
B. Talk to your teen about school.
C. Set up a good dinner table conversation. D．Sign up for the school’s online grade reports.
E．Teens need a clear map of what you want them to do. F．Without these things, your teen could be at a disadvantage. G．Parents should care about teen’s outdoor activities.
