SHORTLIST OF LONDON'S BEST If you have limited visiting time we recommend you follow this list. 1) Houses of Parliament. The guided tours of the Houses of Parliament are excellent, in any language you want, and get you to places that even normal Brits can't. However, when Parliament is sitting, they are not running, but you can still get in. 2) Hampton Court. We rate this as one of the best attractions in Europe. A whole succession of kings and queens have added to Henry VIII’s original palace. There lie a fantastic park (by Capability Brown) and gardens (including the famous maze), and Tudor kitchens and one of the last remaining Real Tennis courts. Lots of free (once you've paid the admission) guided tours, some in costume, by people who know and love the place. It's also surrounded by a series of parks and makes a great destination for a bike trip — train out (30 minutes from Waterloo), bike back (12 miles) along the river. We prefer it to the Tower of London — you'll probably want to visit both, it knocks the spots off Buckingham Palace. 3) The River. Walk along the South Bank from Tower Bridge to Lambeth. The best of London is spread out for you: The Tower of London & Tower Bridge, The Houses of Parliament, Lambeth Palace (residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury), Shakespeare's Globe theatre, Both Tate Galleries, St Paul's Cathedral, The South Bank Centre, The Temple, The London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Somerset House. (A 2 hour walk if you don't stop for long). Or you can take a boat out to Greenwich, the Thames Barrier or the Dome. 4) Westminster Abbey. Where they crown Kings. An unreasonable admission charge (should really be free or voluntary donation), but a masterpiece anyway. If you get bored of waiting in the queue, or packed down by the crowds, hurry yourself off to the City where there's more square space of historic church, and empty. 5) The Theatre. It'd be a crime to visit London and not take in a show. Londoners have been passionate about theatre for centuries. Not only is the quality high, but the price is low - one third the price of Broadway. Classical Music and Opera is of a similarly high standard and low price. 1.A foreign student studying the history of British Royal Family would most probably prefer the tour of _______. A.Westminster Abbey B.Tower Bridge C.Somerset House D.Hampton Court 2.The underlined statement “when Parliament is sitting” in paragraph 2 refers to the time _______. A.when the Parliament is not officially in session. B.when the members of Parliament are debating over a hot issue. C.when the Parliament is staying idle for repairs. D.when the members of Parliament are taking a break after some exercise 3.Where do you think one can probably meet with a man as a guide wearing the eighteenth century royal clothing? A.In Lambeth Palace. B.In Buckingham Palace. C.In Hampton Court. D.St Paul’s Cathedral. 4.Part of the reasons why Londoners are fond of theatre is that they enjoy _______. A.the criminal drama plots B.the inexpensive admission C.the Classical Music and Opera D.the scene of Shakespeare’s Globe theatre

Jennifer Udler was in the middle of a 50-minute session with a patient when it started to rain. Walking and talking about anxiety and stress, she and her teenage patient got wet. But when they made it back indoors, Jennifer said, “ Hey, look at us! We’re wet, but we got through it! Now you can use that next time you have anxiety before and during an event. ” This kind of insight is key to her practice. Jennifer, a social worker whose practice focuses on adolescents, has been a therapist （治疗师 ）for 20 years. For most of that time, she practiced in a traditional office, but she noticed how easy it was for her running partners to open up about their problems. After doing some research, in 2013, Jennifer founded Positive Strides Therapy, where she conducts sessions while walking outdoors. She conducts all of her sessions outdoors and in all kinds of weather. “When somebody asks me if I specialize in walking therapy, I say, ‘No, that’s how I practice,’ ” Udler said. “I specialize in family systems theory. Walking in the park is just where I practice. ” Despite the lack of formal research, Jennifer believes strongly in the benefits, saying that it can be helpful. “We’ll be talking about ‘moving forward’ as we are actually moving forward on the path, building muscle memory of how they can move forward and leave the anxiety behind. ” And outdoor walking therapy doesn’t just benefit teens. Jennifer says the adults in her practice welcome the humanizing effect of taking therapy outdoors. 1.What lesson did Jennifer teach her teenage patient through the rain? A.Rain and suffering are a part of life. B.She is ready to help the young man. C.We can beat our difficulty after all. D.Rain can help us deal with our trouble. 2.The underlined word “insight” in Paragraph 1 probably means . A.qualification B.foresight C.awareness D.prediction 3.How does Jennifer feel her therapy in her reply to people’s question? A.Doubtful. B.Confident. C.Unconcerned. D.Disappointed. 4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.The lack of formal research about the therapy. B.Building physical memory of past experience. C.Treating her teen patients in a traditional office. D.Conducting walk — and — talk therapy for teens. 5.Why does Jennifer think her therapy will help her patients? A.Walking outdoors is similar to managing worries. B.Moving in the rain is a bit too difficult to tolerate. C.The rain can make one excited and face the trouble. D.Running in the rain or storm will make one healthy.

Each country has its own secret to happiness, If "pyt", which closely means “don't worry about it and stuff happens", explains a relaxed attitude of Danish people, "niksen" will reveal how Dutch people combat （对抗）stress and burnout in a fast-paced lifestyle. The term "niksen" origins from the Dutch word "niks", which refers to "nothing'', Mindfulness, another welcome subject to help people have a peaceful mind. But unlike mindfulness, niksen is not about concentrating on the present moment. It's about letting yourself do nothing, and allowing your mind to run free without expectation. In practice, this means "hanging around, looking at your surroundings, or listening to music as long as it's without purpose” according to Time Magazine. Niksen sounds contrary to the advice we were all given as kids. Nowadays, we're constantly told to stay busy and work harder than everyone else. But niksen opposes that mentality( 心态). It offers the chance to "deliciously do nothing", as Carolien Hamming, a coach at CSR Centrum, an organization devoted to fighting stress and burnout in the Netherlands, told Time. She thinks that niksen is essential to staying healthy, since it’s a form of mental relaxation and healing. Just as a wild animal lies in wait for their prey, niksen seems to be a natural state of being. For some people, niksen can mean more than just stress reduction. It's also a means to imagine new ideas or plans. As an early adopter（尝试者）of niksen, Jenny Holden, a communications expert in the UK, adds it to her daily lunch breaks. “Within 10 minutes of doing nothing - just staring and listening to myself - my head began to clear and sort out my work and home to-do lists,” she told the MetroUK. Above all, niksen is a suggestion for balancing work and rest. As Dutch-bom writer Ogla Mecking wrote in US-based Whoolly Magazine, niksen is the "thorough enjoyment of life’s pauses". Everyone is encouraged to embrace your niksen moments. They revitalize （使恢复元气） you and give you the strength needed to face everyday challenges. 1.What does niksen means? A.Living in the moment. B.Leading a healthy lifestyle. C.Being free and doing nothing. D.Using your wildest imagination. 2.Holden’s example is to show ____. A.how niksen improves one's mental health B.niksen is closely related to stress reduction C.niksen can shorten the distance between people D.niksen helps people come up with new thoughts 3.The underlined word "thorough" is closest in meaning to _______. A.long B.full C.unexpected D.quiet 4.What is the text mainly about? A.The introduction to a special Dutch lifestyle. B.Suggestions on how to balance work and rest. C.The importance of allowing time to pause life. D.An explanation of some Danish words about life attitudes. 5.From the passage, we can know that _______. A.people can restrengthen themselves to face challenges by niksen B.a wild animal usually lies in wait for their prey just as niksen advices C.Danish people are stressful and tired because of their special lifestyle D.Carolien Hamming thinks niksen is the most important way to keep fit

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools. My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along. I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it. Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate. Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting. 1.What made the author’s school days difficult? (No more than 5 words) 2.Why did art give the author confidence? (No more than 10 words) 3.What lesson did the author learn from rock climbing? (No more than 15 words) 4.What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4? (No more than 5 words) 5.How does the author’s story inspire you to overcome difficulties in life? Put it in your own words. (No more than 20 words)
