Visiting Rome Insiders share tips on hotels
To really discover the best of Rome, there’s a lot of walking to do, so choosing a hotel in the city center is wise.
Hotel Lunetta Rome
This four-star hotel near Campo de’ Fiori will surprise you with its modern black and- white marble（大理石）interiors （内部），but it’s an amazement in the basement that’ll have you posting on Facebook - the ancient Roman walls of the Theater of Pompey. Hotel Lunetta doesn’t have a restaurant, but there’s a health spa for guests.
Hotel Campo de’ Fiori
The best thing about this hotel is its private rooftop terrace（露台）, with a 360-degree city view so good that people sit up there even on cold winter evenings. Guests are positively encouraged by the hotel’s friendly staff to take a book, a bottle of wine or a pizza to the roof. This homey, four-star hotel has comfortable baroque rooms. The hotel is about 10 meters from historic Campo de’ Fiori.
Brunetti 28 Guest House
This pricey family - run guest house is a short walk from Piazza del Popolo but also a stone’s throw from the Museo dell’ Ara Pacis. Brunetti 28 has seven rooms on two floors. The double rooms aren’t huge, but they’re big enough and well appointed. Guests can breakfast on a small terrace（排屋）in summer, or return there after a long day of walking around the city.
Hotel Sunset Roma
This modest guesthouse is a good spot from which to see the best of Rome in the day and explore the narrow streets of Monti in the evening. With its small bars, this neighbourhood has an old Rome feel to it. Its airy rooms are a cheaper alternative to some of the city’s grand hotels. The hotel is on the street that runs between Via Nazionale and the Colosseum.
1. What can you do in Hotel Lunetta Rome
A. Have healthy food in the restaurant. B. Enjoy the night scene.
C. Watch a play on the rooftop. D. Appreciate the historic walls.
2. What is special about Hotel Campo de’ Fiori
A. It is a family -run hotel.
B. It has a personal rooftop terrace.
C. It is 10 meters from the Museo dell’ Ara Pacis.
D. It is within walking distance of Piazza del Popolo.
3. Which hotel would you choose if you have a tight budget

C. Brunetti 28 Guest House. D. Hotel Sunset Roma.

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
4. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A. She used to be a health worker.
B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant.
D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
5. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her.
B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work.
D. There was no space for school gardens.
6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Rescuing School Gardens
B. Experiencing Country Life
C. Growing Vegetable Lovers
D. Changing Local Landscape
C
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common eye condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. To see the farther clearly, you have the option of wearing eyeglasses, or undergoing the more invasive refractive surgery (屈光手术).
But Japan’s Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings claims to have developed smart glasses that, if worn just an hour per day, can cure myopia. It projects an image onto the wearers’ retina (视网膜) to correct the refractive error that causes nearsightedness. Obviously, wearing the device 60 to 90 minutes a day corrects myopia.
So how does the technology developed by Kubota work exactly Well, according to a company press release from December of last year, the special glasses rely on micro-LEDS to project virtual images on the visual field to make the retina active. Apparently, it can do that without affecting the wearer’s daily activities.
Founded by Dr. Ryo Kubota, Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings is still testing the device, known as Kubota Glasses, and trying to determine how long the effect lasts after the user wears the device. And how much the ugly-looking glasses have to be worn for the correction to be permanent.
Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings began testing the glasses in the summer of last year, and is currently conducting tests on about 25 people in the U.S to assess the effectiveness of its smart glasses. The company plans to begin selling the device in Asia in the second half of 2021, where there are more nearsighted people, but it has plans to enter other markets in the future.
What does the underlined word “blurry” mean in the first paragraph
A．Familiar B．Different C．Impressive D．Unclear
9. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A．The effect of wearing the smart glasses. B．The disadvantages of the smart glasses.
C．The working principle of the smart glasses. D．The correct way of wearing the smart glasses.
10. Why does the company decide to sell the glasses first in Asia
A．It wants to serve the Asians better. B．These glasses are more suitable for Asians.
C．Scientific development is slower in Asia. D．There is more market demand in Asia.
11. What is the purpose of writing the text
A．To solve a problem. B．To introduce a new product.
C．Too present a research result. D．To give practical advice.
D
Research has previously shown that years living alone can have harmful effects on a person’s health, and a new study published Monday shows that at least one of those impacts may be particularly bad for men.
The study looked at blood samples of 4, 835 participants from the Copenhagen Aging and Midlife Biobank to examine levels of inflammation (炎症)，”We have found a significant association between partnership breakups or years living alone and inflammation for men only, after adjustment for selected confounders (干扰因素)，” said Dr. Karolina Davidsen, research associate in the Department of Public Health at University of Copenhagen and publishing author of the study. “In women, we find no such effect.” The study, -published in the journal BMJ, looked at both years living alone and numbers of breakups because the end of significant relationships are often followed by years living alone, the researchers wrote.
“This study strengthens the link experts have seen between the nervous system and inflammation, which is a significant contributor to heart disease”, said Dr. Peter Libby, a cardiovascular (心血管的) medicine specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, who was not involved in the study, “There is increasing understanding of fundamental links between psychological stress and physical health related to inflammation, Libby said.
Dr. Davidsen said that while women didn’t report this finding, one reason for this could be the fact that there were fewer women in the study than men.
The levels of inflammation in the participants might also have looked different if they were measured at more advanced ages, Davidsen added. The average age of those studied was 54. 5years old, and it is possible that the impacts of the breakups and years living alone would have continued as the participants aged, she said.
12. What element is looked at in the study
A. Blood types. B. Social status.
C. Cultural background. D. Periods of living alone.
13. Why do women show no significant effects according to Davidsen
A. Women handle loneliness better.
B. Fewer women are surveyed.
C. Women differ from men physically.
D. Women care more about themselves.
14. What can we learn from the study
A. The researchers involved are male.
B. The result has caused lots of arguments.
C. The impacts will continue as people age.
D. The impacts decline when people grow old.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Living alone: a cause of inflammation
B. Living alone: a great threat to men’s health
C. Inflammation: a contributor to heart disease
D. Inflammation: a factor in health improvement

An association between individuals working together in the same organization is called interpersonal relationship.
