1．Four Popular Places to Go This Winter Harbin，China
China Harbin's winter is for the brave ones—the average temperature is 1.8°F—but those who brave the cold will be rewarded with experiencing one of the world's largest winter festivals.2021 marks the 37th Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival （January-March），when massive frozen structures rise and are lit up，transforming the city into a winter wonderland.
Lyon，F(xiàn)rance
Paris may be called The City of Light，but every December，light takes center stage in Lyon，F(xiàn)rance's third-largest city.That's when the annual Festival of Lights（around December 8）takes over，with light installations（裝置） that transform the city's streetscapes into modern works of art.The city is also home to two Christmas markets（one in La Croix-Rousse；the other at the Place Carnot：through December 25）.
Lima，Peru
Peru's capital Lima is home to the world's highest number of cooking schools per person.Aside from its delicate dining，the city also has great cocktail bars where you can taste classic or contemporary takes on the Pisco Sour.Combine that with the oceanfront setting and temperatures in the 80s，and you'll understand why Lima should no longer be ignored this winter.
Vermont，US
Winter in Vermont means skiing and snowboarding.Many resorts（度假勝地）have greatly upgraded their snowmaking abilities as part of a ＄15 million statewide program that replaced many outdated snow guns with new，low-energy models.These new machines will also improve the quality of snow surfaces and lengthen the season，meaning this will be one of the best winters for skiing and riding in Vermont in recent memory.
（1）What do the first two places have in common？
A．They are decorated with lights.
B．They offer snow sculptures.
C．They have three-day festivals.
D．They are extremely cold.

2．When her five daughters were young，Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity （團(tuán)結(jié)）．To show this，she held up one chopstick，representing one person．Then she easily broke it into two pieces．Next，she tied several chopsticks together，representing a family．She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks．This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up．
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California．However，when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975，they didn't have much money．They moved their family to San Francisco．There they joined Danny's mother，Diana，who owned a small Italian sandwich shop．Soon afterwards，Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant．The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young．However，Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard．
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves，but one by one，the daughters returned to work in the family business．They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles．Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other，they worked together to make the business successful．Daughter Elisabeth explains， "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity，and to have unity we must have peace．Without the strength of the family，there is no business．"
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996，with three generations of Ans working together．Now the Ans' corporation makes more than ＄20 million each year．Although they began with a small restaurant，they had big dreams，and they worked together．Now they are a big success．

3．Transportation and communication networks bring people together.Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers to transportation and communication.In some countries，laws stop people from moving freely from place to place.Over the centuries，many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race，religion，or nationality.In the Middle Ages，for example，Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities.South Africa's government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country.Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials when they move.
Countries set up customs posts at their borders.Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country.Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas.Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year.Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country，or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.
Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication.When two governments have，conflicts with each other on important matters，they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely.Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.
Today，people have the ability to travel，to communicate，and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before.Natural barriers that ware difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily.The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to break down.But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers，people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.

B．Countries require their citizens to keep all the information secret.
C．Citizens of some countries aren't good at exchanging news or ideas.
D．The governments can't reach agreement each other on big issues.
（4）We may learn from the passage that.
A．people can not remove the obstacles made by nature and themselves
B．natural barriers have always been difficult and dangerous to cross for us
C．man-made barriers are sometimes harder to remove than natural ones
D．with so many barriers people can't travel and exchange goods and ideas組卷：11引用：2難度：0.5 -
4．Have you ever thought of getting in touch with your inner child from time to time？Obviously some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to do so in a proper environment.A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between ﹩333 and ﹩999 for the chance to act like a kid again.
At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show-and-tell，arts-and-crafts such as finger paint，games like musical chairs and even take naps.The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day.
30-year-old Michelle Joni Lapidos，the brain behind the adult preschool，studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher.She's always on the lookout for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood.A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead.
According to Candice，her blogger friend，Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children."I realized all the significance of what we had learned in preschool，"said founder Michelle Joni. "People come here and get in touch with their inner child.It's magical.We are bringing ourselves back to another place，another time with ourselves when we are more believing in ourselves，more confident and ready to take on the world."
"One person's here because they want to learn not to be so serious，" Michelle said."Another's here to learn to be more confident."She explained that most of the classes were planned.However，Joni added that while the planned activities were fun，it was often the spontaneous（自發(fā)的） moments that attracted students. "It's the things you don't plan for，the sharing between friends and learning from each other."

5．How do you decide on a hobby？Here are some ways to figure out what is best suited to you.
Look at your childhood.Think about what pursuits made you happy as a child.Did you take lessons in dance，music，ice skating or art？（1）

Jatin and his younger sister，Neha，lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood.Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job，and they had only a little money with which to buy food.As they had not paid the rent for several months，the landlord was breathing down their necks （盯著他們）.
One day，Jatin took Neha's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed，but he lost them on the way home.It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes.He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed，so he begged his sister to keep it secret.Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin's running shoes.Neha's school hours were in the morning，so she would wear them first.After school，she would rush back and give them to Jatin.He could then run to his school，which began in the afternoon.Although he ran as fast as he could，Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city.When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes，he decided to take part.He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived.Jatin had a strong start，but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache.Getting more and more exhausted，he thought only of Neha and his promise to her.Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength，and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners，determined to finish third.Suddenly，as the finish line drew near，another runner collided （碰撞）with Jatin from behind and Jatin crashed to the ground.
