What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous(紧张的) the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7: 00 a.m. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金黄色的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving(招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.
I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my mew friends feel the same way too.

If you thought running was just great for the body, then think again. Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brainpower(脑力) .
The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking. They also found that unfit people tended to have smaller brains and reduced cognitive skills. The findings add to a growing body of evidence which links exercise with helping protect the brain against ageing(老化) and also helping it replace dying cells(死细胞). This might reduce the risk of many illnesses and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
One research paper within its latest issue sees scientists at Kentucky University putting 30 adults aged 59—69ona treadmill(跑步机). Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60—77. As they went through a three-month fitness program，they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus(海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic(有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”
28. Who tend to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking
A. People who are healthy. B. People who are thin.
C. People who are unhealthy. D. People who are fat.
29. What do we learn from the experiment in paragraph 3
A. Those who were less fit had larger brains.
B. Those who were fitter had smaller brains.
C. Exercise helps people improve their memory.
D. Old people doing exercise improve memory better than young people.
30. According to Linda Clare, what kind of activity can NOT produce changes in brain structure and function
A. Walking. B. Singing. C. Cycling. D. Running.
31. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell you sport improves your brainpower.
B. To introduce some good ways to keep healthy.
C. To teach you how to best spend time in doing sports.
D. To introduces ever always to improve your memory.

Travel allows us to experience the world. But as we travel, we are also leaving our footprint on everyplace we visit. This is why culturally immersive(沉浸) travel is so important. Because the wrong kind of travel badly influences the world. One of the reasons we started this blog was to help others travel better and feel comfortable getting off the beaten path, communicating with locals, and take you “Beyond the traditional Bucketful”, if you will.
People who only get 2-weeks off per year are often just looking for an easy destination with a beach to relax on. This isn’t travel. This is a vacation. But “Immersive Travel” or “Cultural Travel” is an entirely new type of trip. It is about experiencing and protecting the various traditions around the world. It’s about being open to new experiences and willing to step into another’s shoes. Cultural travel is jumping in with both feet and leaving your idea about what your trip should be behind you. It’s eating local dishes and sleeping in. guesthouses. It’s building genuine connections with locals. It’s learning about the history of a country and leaving your trip with a greater understanding of the place you came to see and the people who live there.
Oftentimes in today’s age, “travelers will visit a country just to snap some photos of the famous sights to post on Instagram or to drink the night away, or even just to relax on a tropical beach. But that kind of vacation can be harmful to the very communities you’re traveling to.
Beyond supporting the local communities and the protection of local customs and traditions, you’ll also experience some personal benefits trough cultural travels. There’s simply no way to travel this way with a closed mind. You’ll get to know different cultures intimately and understand them a lot better. You’ll also become less judgmental(评头论足的) of others the more you travel.
32. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph
A. To stress the harmful influence of travel.
B. To describe the importance of cultural travel.
C. To recommend a totally different type of travel.
D. To express his unique feelings about cultural travel.
33. According to the author, today’s travelers tend to .
A. build close connections with the locals during the travel.
B. choose a tourist attraction for adventure and exploration.
C. show more interest in the history of a travel destination.
D. post the photos taken in the journey on the social media.
34. What can be inferred about the culturally immersive travel
A. It is concentrated on studying local people’s lifestyle.
B. Its travelers should be open-minded and understanding.
C. It is a specific way to make comments on other cultures.
D. Its major focus is protecting local traditions and customs.
35. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A travel brochure. B. A blog post.
C. A historic magazine. D. An encyclopedia website.

Learn how to improve spoken English with our five quick tips.
Repeat the language!
Repeat words and sentences over and over again until you can say them really fluently. 36 The more you say it, the more it becomes fixed in your brain, and then later when you’re speaking, it’ll come out naturally.
37
First, write out in note form the story you want to tell, and then using those notes, practice telling the story. Now this story could be something that happened to you or from a magazine. Just choose whatever you want, and practise telling it.
Memorise language!
38 You can do this by writing them out, or by speaking them out loud so that you’ll be speaking normally.
And the more you do this, the more they’ll stick in your mind.
Simultaneous(同步的) speaking!
Simultaneous speaking—it sounds difficult but it’s quite easy. And it’s something as easy as, you take an audio file (音频文件), and you listen along to it, and as you listen to it, you read it at the same time. 39 So, you’re trying to copy the intonation(语调), the pronunciation, the word stress(重音), and the sentence stress.
Practise forming questions!
Look at a sentence and see if you can change that into a question. 40 So, for example, when seeing the sentence, “She’s seen the film,” you need to change it into the question, “Has she seen the film ” And the more you do this, the more fluent and quicker you’ll get at making questions.
A. Listen to English!
B. Practise telling stories!
C. But you can read your course book or a magazine.
D. Try and remember as many phrases and expressions as you can.
E. Making questions is quite difficult if you haven’t been practising it.
F. For example, say “I went to the shops, I went to the shops”repeatedly.
G. And as you read it, you try to say it at the same time as the other person speaking.
