Brilliant for families with a great cafe, too. windsorgreatpark.co.uk/en WALES Bodnant Garden Near Colwyn Bay, Clwyd. Open daily.

Open daily from 12 April. Set in a valley between Harrogate and Ripon, this garden features hundreds of native Himalayan plants in a setting that is perhaps as close as you can get to being in an actual Himalayan valley — especially on a misty morning.

In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market.
Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
“My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”
There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families.
24. Why did Handler create Barbie
A. To make a hit in the retail market.
B. To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits.
C. To do a project on women’s career choices.
D. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.
25. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie
A. Sad yet comforted. B. Envious yet proud.
C. Sympathetic and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful.
26. What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family
A. A reliable emotional support. B. A glue for broken relationships.
C. An effective practical treatment. D. A secret medium of negotiation.
27. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A medical journal. B. A charity brochure.
C. A financial report. D. A story collection.
C
It is reported that about 14 percent of Americans aged over 12 have trouble in hearing. And hearing loss increases dramatically to 50 percent or more for those aged over 70. It often comes on so gradually that many ignore it. Only an estimated 15 to 25 percent of adults would use hearing aids, and the use is lowest among people who have less access to health care.
However, recent research has revealed that even mild or moderate hearing loss in older adults is associated with cognitive decline. Older adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop dementia (痴呆), and the likelihood increases with the severity of the loss.
In July, Frank R. Lin, a professor from Johns Hopkins University, presented results from a first-of-its-kind randomized clinical trial. Participants are 977 adults aged between 70 and 84, including those who have more risk factors for developing dementia and those who are relatively healthy. They received best-practice hearing care, including hearing aids. Three years later, hearing aids did make a difference to the participants in cognitive decline. Especially for those who were at the higher risk for dementia, a 48 percent cut in risk of cognitive decline could be made if they got hearing aids.
When hearing loss is untreated, the brain’s organization changes, says Anu Sharma, an auditory neuroscientist of the University of Colorado Boulder. In adults with mild hearing loss, studies show a decrease in gray matter (灰质) in brain. Sharma found early signs that vision and touch areas of the brain cover and change underused hearing areas. Adults with hearing loss also show more activity in working memory areas. They need to make extra efforts just to listen, Sharma says, which may exhaust cognitive reserves.
Hearing loss is also associated with more falls, higher health-care costs, and increased loneliness and social isolation. “Hearing is fundamental to healthy aging,” says Nicholas Reed, who worked with Frank R.Lin on the cognitive-decline study.
28. What can we learn from the figures in the first paragraph
A. Americans pay special attention to their hearing.
B. Americans are unaware of danger of hearing loss.
C. Many Americans with hearing loss stay untreated.
D. Most Americans are suffering serious hearing loss.
29. What did Frank R. Lin’s clinical trial reveal
A. Hearing aids helped reduce cognitive decline.
B. Hearing aids worked on healthy people.
C. Cognitive decline could result in hearing loss.
D. Cognitive decline was unrelated to age.
30. What is paragraph 4 centred on
A. What sign will appear before losing hearing.
B. How hearing loss impacts cognitive decline.
C. Why hearing loss is left untreated by people.
D. How our brain discourages cognitive decline.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Hearing loss-a new factor connected with dementia
B. Cognitive decline, caused by more than hearing loss
C. Dementia-an incurable but preventable disease
D. Hearing loss, having limited access to healthcare
D
Do you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us but the doubters insisted that we didn’t know for sure That the evidence was not enough, the science uncertain They even thought that the anti-smoking group was out to destroy our way of life and the government should stay out of the way. Lots of Americans believed that nonsense, and over three decades, some 10 million smokers went to early graves.
There are upsetting similarities today, as scientists try to awaken us to the growing threat of global warming. The latest was an expert group from the National Academy of Sciences, telling us that the Earth’s atmosphere is definitely warming and that the problem is largely man-made. The president of the National Academy, Bruce Alberts, added that “Science never has all the answers. But science does provide us with the best available guide to the future, and it is critical that our nation and the world base important policies on the best judgments that science can provide concerning the future consequences of present actions.”
Just as on smoking, voices now come from many quarters insisting that the science about global warming is incomplete, that it’s OK to keep pouring smoke into the air until we know for sure. This is a dangerous game: by the time 100 percent of the evidence is in, it may be too late. With the risks obvious and growing, a careful people would take out an insurance policy now.
Fortunately, the government is starting to pay attention. But it’s obvious that a majority of the president’s advisers still don’t take global warming seriously. Instead of a plan of action, they continue to ask for more research — a classic case of “paralysis by analysis”.
To serve as responsible keepers of the planet, we must press forward on deeper atmospheric and oceanic research. But research alone is inadequate. The legislative (立法的) action should be taken to protect the planet, and to protect ourselves.
32. What statement did lots of Americans agree with
A. Smoking was closely connected with death.
B. People had the freedom to choose their own way of life.
C. The number of early deaths of smokers was small.
D. Anti-smoking people were usually talking nonsense.
33. According to Bruce Alberts, what can science serve as
A. A guide. B. A judge. C. A critic. D. A protector.
34. What does the underlined phrase “paralysis by analysis” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Endless studies kill action. B. Careful investigation reveals truth.
C. Adequate planning ensures success. D. Extensive research helps decision-making.
35. Why does the author associate the issue of global warming with that of smoking
A. Both of them are ignored by the government.
B. A lesson from the latter can be applied to the former.
C. The outcome of the latter worsens the former.
D. Both of them have turned from bad to worse.

Dear Albert,
I hope this letter finds you well. Learning that you wonder whether a career planning course is needed for Chinese high school students, I’m writing to share with you my opinion on it.
I believe that introducing career planning courses in Chinese high schools is crucial. The society, as you know, is increasingly competitive now. It can’t be better for our high school study and college major selection if we have a general plan and a top-level design for our future career in high school. It is highly recommended to invite university professors or career planners to guide students in career planning. Organizing students to participate in various social practice is also preferable, which helps to expose the students to the characteristics of all walks of life, and locate their employment directions.
Thank you for considering my opinion. I’m confident that the course will benefit students in their future endeavors.
Yours,
Li Hua

W: Dorothy Pitman Hughes, the co-founder of Ms. Magazine, died at the age of 84 on December 1st, 2022 in Tampa, Florida, according to her longtime colleague and friend Gloria Steinem.
Hughes was born in Lumpkin, Georgia in 1938, and eventually moved to New York at the age of 19, where she began doing several jobs including as a house cleaner and a nightclub singer. By the late 1960s, Hughes organized a daycare center, which got the attention of Gloria Steinem, the future co-founder of Ms. Magazine, who wrote an article about the business in New York Magazine. Ms. Magazine, initially created in the 1970s as a “sample insert in New York Magazine”, soon became “a landmark institution in both women’s rights and American journalism”.
“I have been lucky to call Hughes a friend and lifelong colleague,” Steinem said. “She encouraged me to speak in public, and we spent years traveling across the country. Her devotion to children’s welfare, racial justice and economic liberation means that she left the world in a better place than she found it,” she added.
