When it comes to travelling around Europe, it's important to have a budget in mind. Here
are some tips for getting the most out of Germany while saving your money.
Transport
Transport is "the big one” and cycling may be the cheapest alternative among all the
modes （方式）of transport.
Tom Bourlet, a Brighton-based travel blogger at Spaghetti Traveller, talked to us about
transport in Germany and advised that slower, regional（区域的）trains will be more affordable
in comparison to those that are high-speed.
He continued, "If choosing a train journey, buy the ticket several months in advance to get
a great offer."
If you intend to use the Eurostar train, keep in mind that you can save money by buying
tickets at least a week in advance. Shopping around can also offer reduced prices. A daily or
weekly card for a train or a bus may also be worth investing in. Bourlet continues, "While the
trains run like clock-work with high efficiency, the buses run relatively slowly, often arriving
late to their destination."
Ask a travel agent
In an age of technology, we don't always consider going to a travel agent when booking on
holiday. If you do, ask them for recommendations, they can give you insider tips. Make sure that they are aware of your set budget before signing up to anything.
Food
Region to region, Germany's cuisine will differ slightly. As a general rule, outside the city
centre will be cheaper—the further you go, the less expensive it is. Bear this in mind when
setting a daily budget for your meals.
Landmarks
Make sure you book your tickets for the landmarks before your trip as there's likely to be a
discount when you do this. You may also want to consider a guided tour which is often free.
Before you go
Make sure you buy currency before you leave. This could prevent you being charged extra
for withdrawing money and you're more likely to get a good exchange rate.
1. Which transport is probably the cheapest to travel in Germany?
A. Regional trains. B. High-speed trains.
C. City buses. D. Bicycles.
2. What can we know about the Eurostar train?
A. It runs relatively slowly.
B. The meals on it must be expensive.
C. Travelers can enjoy a discount when shopping around.
D. Booking tickets three days in advance may save your money.
3. In which section of a website may the text appear?
A. Travel. B. Lifestyle. C. Science. D.
Entertainment.
B
The other day on a cold night, I left my wife and drove from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a
distance of about 100 miles. It was rather late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving
truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on
the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right
and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the
light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught,
because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger
in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I
think I stopped because it's part of a contract（契约）we all have with each other. It's not only
the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it： we don't go through
red lights.
Trust is our first inclination. Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole
construction of our society depends on mutual（相互的）trust, not distrust. We do what we say
we'll do； we show up when we say we'll show up； and we pay when we say we'll pay. We
trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or
organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I am so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
4. How does the author feel about the truck driver?
A. Pleased. B. Satisfied. C. Sorry. D.
Annoyed.
5. What can we infer about the author?
A. He hates driving at night.
B. He desired to cross the red light that night.
C. He approves of obeying traffic rules by himself.
D. He is easy when suffering the traffic jam.
6. What is the meaning of the underlined word "inclination" in paragraph 5?
A. Tendency. B. Faith. C. Adjustment. D.
Guidance.
7. What should we do to create a better society according to the author?
A. Be polite to others. B. Improve traffic rules.
C. Be patient and helpful. D. Trust each other.
C
Scientists are working to stop a deadly virus that infects（感染）pigs. The virus is causing
huge losses for farmers in China and other Asian countries. Many farmers have tried to contain African swine flu by quarantining（隔离）pigs and destroying infected animals. But the spread
of the disease into East Asia has stepped up the search for other ways to deal with the problem.
The virus had not been considered a major concern for researchers until it appeared in
China last year. Chinese farmers raise about half of the world's pigs. Some researchers think the
virus might have come from infected animals in Eastern Europe or Russia. Since then, it has
spread to China, Vietnam and other Asian countries. Millions of pigs have been destroyed.
Although swine flu does not sicken people, it is very infectious and deadly to pigs.
"Today's situation, where you have this global danger, puts a lot more emphasis on this research,”
said Doctor Luis Rodriguez. He spoke to The Associated Press. Rodriguez leads the United
States government laboratory for foreign animal diseases at Plum Island , New York. As a
deadly virus kills pigs across Asia, scientists are accelerating efforts to develop a vaccine （疫
苗）.
Vaccines often are developed by killing a virus before it is put into an animal. The
disabled virus does not make the animal sick, but it activates the body's natural defenses against
disease. The immune（免疫的）system is then able to identify the virus and produce antibodies
against it.
However, this method is not effective with all viruses including the one that causes
African swine flu. For swine flu, scientists have been working on a different kind of vaccine. It
is made from a weakened virus, not a dead one. The problem for researchers has been how to
change the virus so it can be safely used.
Vietnam's government reported a few weeks ago that it was testing vaccines, but
provided few details of its programs. In China, the government said scientists are working on a
vaccine that genetically changes the virus. That is similar to a method being used by scientists in
the United States.
8. Why did the virus cause the researchers' concern when appearing in China?
A. The virus may infect people.
B. The number of pigs raised in China is huge.
C. The virus may be completely out of control.
D. Chinese science and technology is not advanced.
9. Where might the virus come from?A. Eastern Europe or Russia. B. Vietnam.
C. African countries. D. America.
10. What is the function of the disabled virus according to Rodriguez?
A. It makes people fall ill.
B. It destroys the immune system of animals.
C. It helps the body produce antibodies against disease.
D. It makes the body's natural defense against disease work.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Emphasis of the Virus Research
B. Swine Flu Leads to the Deaths of Lots of Pigs
C. Scientists Hurry to Develop Vaccine for Swine Flu
D. New Results About Government Laboratory for Animal Diseases
D
Are people happier in nature with blue skies overhead and fresh green grass underfoot?
Could noisy streets, crowded with cars and people, make us unhappy?
The possible mental health problems of city living affect a lot of people. The World
Health Organization estimates（估计）that 56 percent of the world's population lived in urban
areas in 2019. The WHO adds that that amount will increase to 66 percent by 2050. People
often move to cities for better jobs and more cultural activities. But are they putting themselves
at risk? Maybe. Experts at the American Psychiatry Association say that "natural environments
or green spaces” do much good to our mental health.
Many studies have shown that nature can calm us and make us feel happy. Nature, experts
say, can also help us learn better. And experiencing nature helps people recover from the mental
tiredness that comes from day-to-day work. On the other hand, mental health experts say some
research suggests that city living might hurt our mental health. But they cannot say exactly why.
What are the specific aspects of the urban environment which causes some people to
develop mental illness? Andrea Mechelli, a doctor at Kings College, London, states, "There
have been studies where people were literally taken out of an urban environment into a rural (乡
村的)environment. and their symptoms would improve. And we also see that the greater the city
is, the greater the risk is. " Mechelli say that someone who lives in a city is three times more likely to develop psychological problem than someone living in the country.
Kings College researchers, along with city planners, land and building designers and others
wanted to learn more about city living and mental illness. So, they created a smartphone app
called Urban Mind. They say they wanted to understand how different parts of the urban
environment affect mental wellbeing(健康).
The researchers found that being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, seeing the sky,
and feeling in contact with nature were associated with higher levels of mental well-being."
They also found that these seeming effects of nature were especially strong in those individuals
at greater risk
of mental health problems. The Urban Mind Project team says it hopes "the results will inform
future urban planning and social policy aimed at improving design and health."
12.Why is the question raised in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B To show the background of the text.
C. To ask the readers to learn the study.
D To raise the readers' interest in happiness.
13. What does Mechelli find during his study?
A. People are attracted by the blue skies and green grass.
B. People are more content with their city life.
C. More and more people are interested in taking risks in cities,
D. City people are more likely to develop mental problems than country people.
14. What is expected of the Urban Mind research result?
A. More people will choose to live in the countryside.
B. It will bring more concern about people s mental health.
C. It will contribute to future urban planning and social policies.
D. People will be helped to improve their mental illness.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Urban Mind measures the level of mental wellbeing.
B. City living may be harmful to people's mental health.
C. Living in the countryside is better than in the city.D. Different scientists hold different opinions on the effects of city living.

Recently, China has faced the COVID-19 challenge with great strengths. Foreigners are
amazing at the extraordinary response of the Chinese government but the Chinese people.
Indeed, we have great confident that China will get past this difficulty. In fact, they are
positive signs such as the International Monetary Fund expressing its support to China's efforts
and believe that China's economy remains steady.
The challenge is unquestionably great but China's approach to dealing this situation is
