21、Wales is the perfect get-away-from-it-all type of destination that allows you to embrace a whole new world, providing relaxation and excitement. These are the best things to do right now.
Climb to the top of Wales
Place: Mount Snowdon, Snowdonia National Park
It is the highest mountain in Wales. Climbing Mount Snowdon takes anywhere between five and seven hours, but the 1,085-metre peak offers the most magnificent views. Heading this way in winter is a no-no but the mountain gets plenty busy through spring, summer and autumn, with more than half a million hikers dragging themselves up to the top every year.
Learn to pronounce the longest town name in the UK
Place: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwymdrobwllllantysiliogogog, Anglesey
It is a small village with a famously tongue-twisting name. Originally called Llanfair Pwllgwyngll, the name of this village was extended in the hope of attracting tourists to its town. In that regard, it has been a success. There isn't much to do here beyond sitting in a couple of pubs or wandering around.
Go on a sporting Journey in the capital
Place: Cardiff
There may be more important things when it comes to history and tradition, but it doesn't get much more thrilling than visiting the capital on a major rugby or football occasion. Cardiff is at its best when the dragons are doing battle at the Principality Stadium, and the pubs and bars of the city evolve into an entirely different beast.
Visit the smallest house in Great Britain
Place: Conwy, Gwynedd
It is a bright red house that was once home to a very tall fisherman. Conwy is a beautiful town, famous for its castle. The red house is said to be the smallest in Great Britain. A woman in traditional Welsh clothing waits outside the house and tours of the tiny house cost just £l.

22、Humans sweat to keep cool. But did you know that besides them, only a small percentage of the world’s animals keep cool by sweating? In fact, animals have a variety of ways to beat the cruel heat, some of which you might say are even a little bit strange.
Giraffes
We know that giraffes live in a particularly dry, hot environment, but they don’t sweat. How do they stay cool? The answer lies in their beautiful skin pattern, which is like a large network with a very complex vascular (血管) system under each patch (斑块). A giraffe’s special blood flow can force heat out of its body. Because of their rather large skin surface, this is a more-than-effective way to escape the heat.
Elephants
As the largest land animal on earth, elephants rely on their huge pair of ears. Simply by tapping their ears, elephants can lower their body temperature by 12℃ or more. Moreover, elephants often open their ears when facing the wind to reach this cooling effect.
Dogs
The dog’s way of escaping the heat is probably the most common in our daily lives--sticking their tongues out. By breathing heavily, dogs quickly force the heat from their body and breathe cooler air in, which enters their lungs and cools their entire body.
Koalas
Koalas are well-known for their “laziness”, so it’s natural to see one lying on a branch and think it’s just being its lazy self, but that’s not the case. Researchers say that the koalas select their trees very carefully, looking in hot weather for tree bark that is cooler than the air temperature. By getting into the cool surface of the bark, koalas can stay relatively comfortable during Australia’s powerful heat waves.
【1】How do dogs beat the heat?
A．By choosing the suitable tree skin.
B．By putting their tongues out.
C．By moving their ears.
D．By flowing blood.
【2】Which of the following animals uses their habitats to cool?
A．Giraffe.
B．Elephants.
C．Dogs.
D．Koalas.
【3】What do four animals have in common?
A．They live lazily.
B．They don’t sweat.
C．They don’t stay cool.
D．They live comfortably.
23、Making time for leisure activities can have a truly positive effect on your physical and mental well-being.【1】
Why do you need hobbies?
A 2015 US study in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine found that people were more positive, less bored, less stressed and had a lower heart rate when engaged in a leisure activity. Numerous other studies have shown that hobbies reduce stress.【2】
【3】
Start with what you enjoyed in the past. Did you once play football? Take it up again or try something else which satisfies your competitive spirit or the fun you get from being part of a team. Experts recommend a healthy mix of hobbies that give you physical, social and cognitive benefits.
Which leisure activities are good for physical health?
It’s clear that exercise is going to be good for you physically. Even regular walking can bring benefits for fitness.【4】and it’s sociable too. And both gardening and DIY could reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke by up to 30 percent among over-sixties.
Which pastimes keep your mind active?
【5】They are associated with a lower risk of dementia (痴呆), along with board games, which are perhaps more sociable than playing a violin. Older choir singers have better verbal flexibility, indicating better cognitive flexibility, than people of a similar age who don’t sing in a choir, according to a recent Finnish study.
A．How do you start a hobby?
B．While dancing is a great workout,
C．How do you choose the right hobby?
D．Learn a language or an instrument and read books.
E．Learning something new is a great way to train your brain.

24、For teenagers, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad outcomes – it is also about developing good ones.
Several studies have looked at the long-term effects eating with families has on a teenager. Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause-and-effect relationship. However, they do suggest a strong link.
In 2014, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development looked at data from nearly three-quarters of the world’s countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to skip school.
Teenagers who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. That was a finding of a study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University in New York. The 2012 CASA report found that “family dinners were strongly linked to teen substance use prevention.” In the report, titled “The Importance of Family Dinners,” researchers say that “teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what’s going on in their lives.” They also claim that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.
Another study from the University of Montreal found that teenagers who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These teens were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. They also seemed to have better social skills and self-reported that they were less aggressive.
Linda Pagani, a professor involved in this study says that there is “a handful of research suggesting a positive link between eating family meals together frequently and adolescent health.” Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents “likely provide young children with firsthand social interaction, discussions of social issues and day-to-day concerns.” She adds that they may likely help the child have better communications skills with others.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A．Teenagers' desire for family dinners.
B．The vital importance of family time.
C．Benefits of family dinners on teenagers.
D．Studies about teenagers' physical condition.
【2】What does the underlined word "substance" in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．sociable

C．ambitious
