This summer I am to attend a English summer camp for Sino-Us cultural exchanges, which I have long been dreamed about.
This programme was aimed at promoting the understanding of the people and culture among the two countries. During the two-weeks English summer camp, we will visit some famous American universities, experience American culture or tour places of interest in the US. Furthermore, we will also be offered a platform practice our spoken English in an authentically language environment.
I am sure of that this programme will help me better understand the cultural difference. Meanwhile, I can introduce my country to American students through this programme, that will definitely be a great success.

One of the most fundamental changes brought about in the last decade is the rise of remote learning. With the global climate crisis and health pandemics, remote learning has become even more relevant today. Schools, universities and corporates can continue affording education and training by remote technology in the time of social distancing due to the COVID-19 crisis. 1.
Learn Anywhere, Anytime
Gone is the need to be on campus at a specific time of day and remain there for the duration of numerous classes. 2.. More importantly, it has also made learning a practical choice for many rural communities who are unable to travel the vast distances to school every day and to remote teams working for companies located afar.
3.
When it comes to learning, one size doesn’t fit all People have varied learning styles that change depending on the nature of the content they are trying to absorb. E-Learning allows learners to personalize their education, focusing on areas that need greater attention in more detail. Also, rather than being a one-way path where the learner listens and takes in information, online training means that learners can pursue areas that interest them in more detail.
Better Engagement
Keeping learners engaged throughout the training is one of the key struggles. One of the strengths of E-Learning is the diverse nature in which the course content is delivered. 4. Some online learning communities allow trainers to provide multimedia recording to make training more engaging. With the game engine, they also have the option to gamify content and include rewards once sections are completed for young employees and fresh graduates who might have just passed out from school and are still transitioning to the corporate world. 5.
A.E-Learning gives people the flexibility to be able to learn at home, anytime they want.
B.Personalized Learning Experience
C.Learn more in detail
D.Learners are now used to and expect interactivity.
E.Nearly 30 percent of learners, or more than six million students, having taken at least one course online.
F.Overall, there are a few core reasons to opt (选择) for remote learning.
G.Quizzes, polls, and discussion boards also mean trainees get to discuss content and interact with one another.
A higher proportion of Americans are living alone and spending time alone than in past decades. According to the U.S. Census Bureau，a third of U.S. adults over 45 reports being lonely. Less than half of U.S. adults participate in an organized religious group and less than a quarter participate in a social club or a local sports league. And the problem has been getting worse.
It sounds bad, but, after all, some people like being alone, and we all have to do it sometimes, so what’s the problem? According to a widely reported 2019 analysis of studies, being socially isolated, feeling lonely and living alone corresponded with an increased risk of mortality (死亡) by 29 percent, 26 percent, and 32 percent respectively. Lacking social connection carries a risk that is comparable, and in many cases, exceeds that of other well-accepted risk factors, including smoking up to 15 cigarettes per day, obesity, physical inactivity. and air pollution.
“Loneliness is the subjective feeling of being alone,” Dr. Holt-Lunstad, the lead author of that study tells The Healthy. “It’s defined as the discrepancy between one’s actual level of social connection and one’s desired level of social connection.” “Social isolation means having few relationships and infrequent social contacts,” Dr. Holt-Lunstad adds, “someone who is isolated is at greater risk of becoming lonely, but you can be lonely and not isolated and isolated and not lonely.”
The epidemic of loneliness is compounded today by the coronavirus pandemic which makes the government ask people to stay by themselves. What can we do to mitigate the negative heathy effects? Dr. Holt-Lunstad recommends. “You could view your situation as being tapped or forced to stay home, or you could change your concept to thinking about this as ‘this is something I am doing to protect the ones I love’. And helping care for someone, an animal or even a plant can help reduce the feeling of loneliness and improve survival rate. Another step you can take is to connect with people in your life who you haven’t reached out to in a while.” Dr. Holt-Lunstad also says, “The greatest gift we can give people is our full attention. That means not just sharing but listening and listening deeply.”

UW’s Jason Shogren and Linda Thunstrom, along with Jonas Nordstrom of the Lund University School of Economics and Management, have documented that two-adult households with children emit over 25 percent more carbon dioxide than two-adult households without children.
The study involved an analysis of expenditures on goods and services by households in Sweden. The researchers found that parents with children at home consume goods and services that emit CO2 in the areas of food, such as meat, and transportation, such as gasoline, at higher rates than childless households.
The economists note that time constraints (约束) become more demanding, and convenience may become more important, when people have children.
“Parents may need to be in more places in one day,” resulting in people driving themselves instead of using public transportation or bicycling, the researchers wrote. “They also need to feed more people. Eating more pre-prepared, red meat carbon-intensive meals may add convenience and save time.”
The distinction in the carbon footprints of Swedish households with and without children is particularly striking, as concerns about climate change are more pronounced in Sweden than most other developed counties. Most Swedes believe climate change is real and have accepted sizable CO2 taxes, and households with children are given financial aid, which helps to alleviate some of the time shortage for parents to a certain extent.
“If we’re finding these results in Sweden, it’s pretty safe to assume that the distinction in carbon footprints between parents and nonparents is even bigger in most other Western countries,” Thunstrom says.
“Becoming a parent can transform a person, he or she thinks more about the future and worries about future risks imposed on their children and of spring,” Shogren says. “But, while having children might be transformational, our results suggest that parents’ concerns about climate change do not cause them to be ‘greener’ than non-parent adults.”
1.According to the study, compared with the households without children, the households with children __________.
A.emit more carbon dioxide
B.consume more goods and services
C.attach more importance to the quality of goods and services

A.They prefer to eat red meat prepared in advance.
B.They aren’t concerned about climate change.
C.They drive cars more as a consequence of time pressure.
D.They need to purchase more goods and services.
3.The underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 5 refers to __________.
A.solve B.heighten C.worsen D.ease
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Being a parent will cause a person to be more concerned about carbon emission.
B.Carbon footprints grow with parenthood because of increased time constraints and the need for convenience.
C.The increasing expenditures on goods and services by households help raise the awareness of carbon footprints.
D.The difference in carbon footprints between parents and nonparents is much severer in other western countries than in Sweden.
