• 1．Are you looking for some good places for you and your four-leg friend？Here are some for you.
     Tahmoor Gorge（峽谷）
     The number and quality of swimming holes in this valley immediately take us back to some of our favourite places in Kakadu national park.The only difference here is that you don't need a four-wheel drive，so the best way togo to the gorge is walking.This pet-friendly walk follows the Bargo River through an open gorge that gradually drops to a deep gorge.It is a popular place for locals on weekends.The further you run into the gorge，the less people there are.

     Kutti Beach，Vaucluse
     We heard about it from a friend，but it is so hidden that it is not easy to find the en-trance.Follow Wharf Road until it dead ends at the Vaucluse Amateur Sailing Club.Go right up to the building and look left.There is a very narrow set of stairs leading to the beach.Go down the steps and open the gate at the bottom.Follow the narrow road along the wall to the sand.The best bit？It's dog-friendly.
     MacKenzies Beach，Tamarama
     From whale watching hot place MacKenzies Point，follow the sloped（斜的）road to MacKenzies Beach，a dog-friendly，short-time beach that only appears every couple of years when the right combination（結合）of wind and sand on the normal rocky reef.They say you aren't a local until you've seen sand at MacKenzies.

• 2．I grew up in a poor family.This was something I did not realize until l was older.1 thought everyone in the city took the bus.because everyone in my neighborhood took the bus.I thought everyone in the city used the food bank，because all my friends' families ate the same government-labeled food as my family ate.We all wore hand-me-down clothes.
     Shopping with my mom made me first understand that my family was a little different.My mom used paper money that looked different from the paper money others in line were using，I asked my mom why our money looked different.She said that we used food stamps that were provided by government so we could eat.
     In high school，I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor，but I loved my mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of.Though my mother was uneducated，she taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself.Growing up in poor family taught me perseverance.I have always believed in myself and my abilities.I knew I could focus on schoolwork and build a life that looked different from my childhood.
     As I became a man，I started understanding how my experiences made it possible for me to be resilient，and how to respect people for who they are as an individual — and not by what they have.I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poor life that do not actually come from the people experiencing it.These opinions come from people on the outside trying not to look into the experience.Hardworking，trust-worthy，reliable，clean，efficient，successful and disciplined are all words not specially connected with poor life.But those words are very much shown by those experiencing poor life.I am proud to be who I am and proud of where I'm from.

• 3．Finding yourself in an unfamiliar country is difficult enough，and not being able to read or speak the native language can make the change greatly more difficult.Programs that teach English as a Second Language （ESL） help non-English speaking students acclimate to life in the United States more smoothly.
     The ESL Newcomers program at Palmer Elementary in Newport News，Virginia，serves children coming from areas of South America，Afghanistan，Vietnam and other parts of Asia.When members of the Kiwanis Club of Peninsula at Oyster Point-which has a long-standing relationship with the school-learned about the program in 2020，they were eager to help.
     To date，the club has donated （捐贈） ￥1，600 to Palmer Elementary's ESL Newcomers program.The money has helped the school gain classroom resources （資源），plan virtual （虛擬的） field trips and bring guest speakers into the classroom.Money has also been used to help with the buying of winter clothing，which some children didn't have when they arrived in the United States.
     "In the ESL Newcomers program，the children are taught English，math，history and even some cultural information about their new home，" explains Joseph Slabinski，club president. "The program will also help their families，as students can enter into the programs while they are at home."
     The club also helps the children with gardening.This gives students another chance to learn and practice English，make friends and feel more connected to their new home.
     Over the years，the Kiwanians also have taken part in reading programs，bought dictionaries for young students and helped LeapFrog learning stations.The ESL Newcomers program is another chance for members to connect with students and improve education in a meaningful way.
     "We have the ability to help these students with their learning and show them that America has people that are concerned and willing to help others in need，" says Slabinski， "We will always be there to help the children of Palmer Elementary."

• 4．During the COVID-19 pandemic （流行?。?，some people found their exercise was greatly reduced.However，it was an attraction for others to increase their physical activity.With the change of working from home，some physical activity was reduced.People took this newly freed up time as a chance to add exercise to their day，with online fitness programs and health apps （應用軟件） reporting an increase.
     However，the early drive to exercise appears to have been short-lived for many，with a study comparing activity levels between the first and second waves of COVID-19 in Victoria finding most people reported a reduction in their physical activity levels the second time around because of a shortage of encouragement.A study found that COVID-19 has reduced physical activity and increased sedentary （久坐不動的） behavior，and the effects could be lasting.
     Continuing concerns about COVID-19 have led to carefulness about returning to public spaces such as gyms.But also，with many people changing their exercise habits and setting up home gyms during the pandemic，it's become much more convenient to exercise at home.It's clear for many of us that COVID-19 changed how and how much we exercise.But the changes don't necessarily have to be for the worse.
     People who changed to online workouts （鍛煉），fitness apps and home gyms during the pandemic said their exercise was less satisfying，less enjoyable and they felt less active com-pared with doing exercise in gyms.Besides the physical effects，people reported missing the social communication，friendship，and being avoidable of the gym.In-person classes also offer the advantages of management and instruction，which can help make sure workouts are completed safely and effectively.
     However，online workouts，fitness apps and near-home workouts are likely here to stay，and offer many advantages，such as no need to travel to the gym and convenience，making it easy to fit in a workout while working and shouldering family responsibilities.
  
  （1）How do some people add exercise to their day during the pandemic？

  
  A．By returning to public places.
  B．By driving to a lonely park.
  C．By turning to the Internet.
  D．By taking face-to-face classes.
  （2）What can we learn about exercise during the pandemic from the text？

  
  A．People have changed exercise habits.
  B．People like to build their home gym.
  C．People strongly wish to exercise.
  D．People refuse to go back to public gyms.
  （3）What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on？

  
  A．The disadvantages of exercising at home.
  B．The way to exercise during the pandemic.
  C．The examples of good exercise at home.
  D．The reasons for people changing home exercise.
  （4）What does the author think of exercising at home in the last paragraph？

  
  A．It is difficult.
  B．It is worrying.
  C．It is challenging.

• 5．What Are Some Good Study Skills Good habits are developed over time and trained through practice.It isn't possible to learn every single study skill in a single study.It is，however，helpful to know what specific skills that good students use. （1）

  .
     Studying Usefully
     It may sound obvious，but studying usefully is among the most important of all study skills. （2）

  .Though there are plenty of examples of such ones online，a simple memory skill is to create an abbreviation（縮寫）.To remember the order of the north，east，south，and west directions，for example，kids are sometimes encouraged to remember the laughable abbreviation "never eat soggy waffles".
     Reading Actively
      Though most students understand how to read，reading to get information can be much harder.One way to make the brain remember better is to mark at least one key phrase per paragraph of reading material. （3）

  .And it shouldn't simply be given up as something useless.
  To add extra power to reading，many careful students write notes beside the sentences about any questions or misunderstandings they may have about the material（材料）.Others simply write out connections or ideas that come about.
     Using Test-Taking Skills
     （4）

  .Multiple-choice tests are an effective（有效的）way.Crossing off unlikely answers，for example，can improve students' chances of guessing correctly without any more research.Another skill is to give up the unclear and search for the answer later in the test.There are many other simple ways，and each can help remove test worry and improve grades.
     Understanding Sources（信息來源）
     The world of today is full of poor information. （5）

  .Unluckily，students are often taught far too late how to find well-thought-of scientific writings online.However，the earlier kids learn about these small differences，the better.
  
  
  

  A．This tells the brain that the material is important B．Students are able to score the best on these sorts of tests C．Useful research skills do not come naturally to most students D．Taking tests effectively is a very useful skill for students of any age E．The most useful study way is making use of one or more memory skills F．Here are some good study skills that are very helpful to you G．And this makes sorting good sources out from bad ones all the more important
