The Haskell Free Library and Opera House might not be as well known as the Grand Canyon or the Statue of Liberty. 1.. Completed in 1904, the building is stationed directly between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont. with the official US -Canada borderline running right across the library's floor.
Martha Stewart Haskell and her son, Colonel Horace Stewart Haskell, both Canadians, built the building as a tribute(悼念) to Mrs Haskell's late husband, Carlos.2..
While the library’s official entrance is on the US side of the building, most of the books are on the Canadian side.3.. The Opera House is similarly split, with most of its seats in the US and its stage in Canada. As Atlas Obscura reported, it is often said that the Haskell is the only library in the US with no books, and the only opera house in the country with no stage.
Passports and other forms of identification aren’t required to cross from country to country in the library, though the Haskell's website notes that the border inside the building“ is real and it is enforced”. 4.. If they don't, they risk possible detention and fines.
Even beyond the building's unique position,library director Nancy Rumery told CTV News that Haskell staffers-Canadian and American alike-consider the institution to be like any other library in the world
“We’re just trying to be the best library we can.5..” she said. “These are all our neighbors and we do our very best to help them on their life-long learning journey. ”
A.The Haskell is full of mysterious places.
B.The Haskell is divided between the two countries.
C.Visitors have access to a variety of cultural resources.
D.Visitors are expected to their side of the border after a visit.
E.It’s undoubtedly one of America's most unique tourist attractions.
F.Our community is made up of people from two different countries
G.The family hoped that citizens would use it as a “center for learning and cultural enrichment”
You have probably heard that Japan has among the highest life expectancy(预期寿命) in the world and that the island of Okinawa(冲绳) has the greatest concentration(浓度) of centenarians(百岁老人). But do you know that two-thirds of the centenarians are still functioning independently? That means they are in their own homes, cooking their own meals and living their lives fully - at about 100 years old!
The elders there are less likely than their counterparts in the United States to have heart disease, dementia(痴呆) or certain cancers. Their bones are stronger than those of similarly aged people around the world. Many of these residents are the subjects of one of the largest studies of centenarians ever conducted. Since 1976, nearly a thousand centenarians on the islands have been studied.
More than anything, the Okinawa diet has long captured the headlines. Before knowing what the Okinawans eat, there is a valuable lesson in how they eat.
Remember this term: hara hachi bu. It is translated into English as “Stop eating when you are 80% full.” With hara hachi bu, the philosophy is that you should still be a little hungry when you push the plate away. You are also advised to reduce your portion(食物的分量) sizes, use smaller plates and eat more slowly.
There is a basic biological (生物学的) reason this works. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to send signals to the brain that it is full. Unfortunately, most people can shovel down another several hundred calories in that short time. Instead, if you push the plate away and just wait, you will have eaten less and still feel satisfied.
Eating less is associated with longevity, but of course, that also depends on what you eat. Okinawans typically eat seven different fruits and vegetables and 18 different foods a day, and more than 200 different foods and spices regularly in their overall diet.
However, the younger generations are eating more meat and fast food instead of fish and soy. The elderly there are still widely revered(崇敬), but there are fewer of them, and they are less often living to 100 than in decades past.
1.What is the key to the high life expectancy in Okinawa?
A.What they eat B.How they eat
C.Where they live D.When they exercise
2.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined part “shovel down” in Paragraph 5?
A.fill in B.put down
C.fill out D.push away
3.Which of the following statements about Okinawa is true?
A.The elderly are in bad need of mutual respect.
B.There are an increasing number of the elderly.
C.The younger generations have a varied diet.
D.Things are starting to change for the worse.
4.Which could be the best title for the passage?
A.Eat less to live longer.
B.Healthy diets build longevity.
C.The Okinawa: a place of longevity.
D.Improve life expectancy? Slow down.
Lin Hanxing is a 30-year-old who lives in Beijing. She owns just five shirts, two pairs of pants, four pairs of shoes and a few other things. It's hard to believe that only five years ago, Lin was one of those people who couldn't stop buying stuff. Back then, she had more than 400 pieces of clothing and handbags
But that was before she saw an online challenge in 2014, introduced by Joshua Becker, a blogger in the United States who was promoting(推广) a minimalist lifestyle(极简生活方式). He encouraged people to reduce the number of their belongings to fewer than 100. Lin wasn’t strongly against it, so she got rid of 90 percent of her stuff. She also deleted(删除) 120 contacts she never spoke to from her social networking account. After doing all that, Lin said she felt “lighter”.
We used to think owning more was the way to lead a rich life. But now many people tend to believe that the opposite is also true--and perhaps truer.
According to US sociologist Joel Stillerman, people who are educated and well-off are more likely to have a minimalist lifestyle. “These people are making the statement: ‘I can afford to have less.’,”he said.
But leading a minimalist lifestyle doesn't mean spending less. A report by UK market research company Euromonitor found young Chinese people spend less on possessions, but more on short holidays and visits to the movies.
“They are looking for a life that is all about culture,” Alison Angus, head of lifestyles at Euromonitor, said about Chinese youth.
So perhaps it all comes down to how we define(定义) “rich”. Is wealth in life about buying more and owning more, or is it about having a more colorful life?
1.The author mentioned the change of Lin Hanxing to _______.
A.introduce the minimalist lifestyle
B.encourage us readers to buy less
C.explain the popularity of owning less
D.explain the importance of a new lifestyle
2.What’s Lin Hanxing’s attitude towards the online challenge in the beginning?
A.She was very fond of it.
B.She thought it worth a try.
C.She was strongly against it.
D.She thought it must be painful.
3.According to the passage, young Chinese people care more about _______.
A.possessions B.culture
C.education D.clothes
4.If one is rich, he is more likely to _______.
A.spend less B.buy more
C.own less D.experience more
