Incredibly Beautiful Villages in China
Likeng Village
Built in the year 1010, Likeng Village in Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province preserves the area’s unique Hui architecture. Though the village charges tourists an entrance fee, it is a worthwhile point from which they can view the blossoming canola flowers (油菜花) in the spring and admire the local calligraphy under camphor trees (樟樹) as old as the village itself.
Danba Villages
With few tourists aware of Sichuan Province’s Garz? Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, those who do make the trip are rewarded with views unlike those anywhere else. And within the heart of the area, far away from polluted cities, lie the Danba Villages, considered by some as the most beautiful villages in China. Each village is made up of unique Tibetan-style folk houses.
Hongcun Ancient Village
Though Hongcun is one of China’s most well-known ancient villages, its popularity has not ruined its uniqueness. After a climb through the great Yellow Mountains in Anhui Province, rest for a while in this foothill village, which was the filming site for select scenes from Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Centered around a moon-shaped pond, the village was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 for its well-preserved Ming- and Qing-era architecture.
Shuangfeng Forest Farm
Nicknamed “China Snow Town” for its annual seven-month-long snowfall, Shuangfeng Forest Farm in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province is where you want to go if you wish to experience China’s deepest snows. Over the years, the village has transformed into a charming tourist destination.

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (創(chuàng)業(yè)者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria (口腔細菌).
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product—CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilieCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
24. How did Moore react to her dad’s warning?
A. She argued with him. B. She tried to find a way out.
C. She paid no attention. D. She chose to talk to dentists.
25. What is special about CanCandy?
A. It is beneficial to dental health. B. It is free of sweeteners.
C. It is sweeter than other candies. D. It is produced to a dentists’ recipe.
26. What does Moore expect from her business?
A. To earn more money. B. To help others find smiles.
C. To make herself stand out. D. To beat other candy companies.
27. What can we learn from Moore’s story?
A. Fame is a great thirst of the young. B. A youth is to be regarded with respect.
C. Positive thinking and action result in success. D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied.

The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism (極簡主義), including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培養(yǎng)) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (獨處) and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spend on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
28. What is the book aimed at?
A. Teachingk5tiTmEhfUcVKMg5piLprRX8Uv4iDzFC6u5M8kAUtyw= critical thinking skills. B. Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.
C. Solving philosophical problems. D. Promoting the use of a digital device.
29. What does the underlined word “declutter” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Clear-up. B. Add-on. C. Check-in. D. Take-over.
30. What is presented in the final chapter of part one?
A. Theoretical models. B. Statistical methods. C. Practical examples. D. Historical analyses.
31. What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?
A. Use them as needed. B. Recommend them to friends.
C. Evaluate their effects. D. Identify the ideas behind them.

The Neurosurgical Simulation (神經(jīng)外科模擬) and Artificial Intelligence Learning Center hired 70 medical students to perform virtual brain tumor removals.
Researchers randomly assigned students to receive instruction and feedback (反饋) by either an AI tutor or a remote expert instructor, with a third control group receiving no instruction. An AI-powered tutor called the Virtual Operative Assistant (VOA) used a machine learning algorithm (算法) to teach safe and efficient surgical technique and provided personalized feedback, while a deep learning system and a team of experts assessed student performance. In the other group, remote instructors watched a live feed of the surgical simulations and provided feedback based on the student’s performance.
The researchers found that students who received VOA instruction and feedback learned surgical skills 2.6 times faster and achieved 36% better performance compared to those who received instruction and feedback from remote instructors. Surgical skill plays an important role in patient outcomes both during and after brain surgery. VOA may be an effective way to increase neurosurgeon performance, improving patient safety while reducing the burden on human instructors. “Artificially intelligent tutors like the VOA may become a valuable tool in the training of the next generation of neurosurgeons,” says Rolando Del Maestro, senior author of the study in JAMA Network Open. “The VOA significantly improved expertise while creating an excellent learning environment. Ongoing studies are assessing how in-perI20GIamST4QuWgSGf+2Vig==son instructors and AI-powered intelligent tutors can most effectively be used together to improve the mastery of neurosurgical skills.”
“Intelligent tutoring systems can use a variety of simulation platforms to provide almost unlimited chances for repetitive practice,” says Ali Fazlollahi, the study’s first author. “With continued research, increased development, and dissemination (宣傳) of intelligent tutoring systems, we can be better prepared for ever-evolving future challenges.”
32. What can we learn about VOA?
A. It is a kind of AI-powered tutor. B. It definitely improves patient safety.
C. It has successfully helped some patients. D. It will gradually replace in-person instructors.
33. What is the author’s attitude toward VOA?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
34. What can we infer about intelligent tutoring systems?
A. They are easier to use. B. They can be used in various fields.
C. They still need more time to develop. D. They put pressure on human instructors.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AI Helps Medical Education B. AI Performs Well in Medicine
C. AI Replaces Human Instructors D. A New Study Improves People’s Life

Are you happy with your appearance? 36
“Some girls with single-fold eyelid in our class have had double-fold eyelid operations,” said Zeng, a Senior 2 student. Zeng had the same surgery done this summer. 37 From popular photo-editing apps to plastic surgery, it seems that large eyes, fair (白皙的) skin and a slim figure are the only standard of beauty these days. But can following this standard really make us feel good about ourselves?
38 According to a report, over six in ten girls choose not to take part in certain daily activities because they feel bad about their look. As much as 31 percent of teenagers avoid speaking up in class because they worry that others will notice their look.
“Many teenagers are upset about their appearance because they believe in unrealistic standards of beauty,” experts say. 39 Seeing all these things can make anyone believe that they’re too dark, too fat, too short, or too tall.
However, trying to live up to strict standards can make us feel anxious. What troubles us is not just our “imperfect” look, but the fact that we criticize ourselves too much. 40 Plus-size models are being featured in some fashion shows. All of us should be just as confident as they are.
A. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
B. Body image anxiety is common among teenagers.
C. Boys care just as much as girls do about their body image.
D. Some teenagers might feel negative about their appearance.
E. It’s important for teenagers to feel confident about their appearance.
F. She and many of her classmates believe bigger eyes look more beautiful.
G. Perfect faces and bodies are everywhere in advertising, TV shows and on social media.

The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics (遺跡). But Masters in the Forbidden City is not just about the stories of the past. Instead, the documentary, which premiered (首次公演) on China Central Television at the beginning, 61 (focus) on ordinary people—the restorers.
The stories 62 (tell) at a slow and relaxed pace reflect the restorers’ work. 63 (restore) of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ 64 (patient) and peace of mind are especially precious in a society 65 everything is changing so fast.
A 66 (touch) part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship of the restorers. Years of tedious (枯燥的) work requires not only skill, 67 faith and spirit. 68 (spend) almost a lifetime restoring relics, some restorers become experts who command great respect.
Unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary has proved people’s common idea about antique restorers wrong, allowing them 69 (realize) that they are not old, dull professors, but active and creative people 70 their forties, thirties and even twenties.
