A

The COVID -19 pandemic has affected all aspects of life, including the way we travel. But for those who are looking to expand their horizons while still staying safe, the following three travel trends in 2021 may provide inspirations. Let’s take a look.

Staycation

With many travel restrictions during the pandemic, people preferred traveling to nearby places in 2020. This trend continues in 2021. According to search data, 62 percent of people are interested in taking a vacation within driving distance of home. People who live in large cities want to get back in touch with nature. Travelers are looking for places different from their everyday accommodations, for example, farm stays, villas and cottages.

Pod travel

While 2020 saw a rise in solo travel and isolated adventures, 2021 shows that people want to be more connected. “Pod travel”, or gathering in isolated spaces with loved ones, is growing in popularity. 85 percent of survey respondents favor traveling with family or friends, and over half of the trips searched include three or more people. Pod travel is here to stay for those who want to safely be together while reducing risks associated with socializing with others.

Remote working and traveling

Many people worked and learned from home in 2020 because of the pandemic. Remote working blurs the line between working and traveling. There was a 128 percent increase in the mention of phrases such as “relocation”, “relocate”, “remote work” and “trying a new neighborhood”. People are actively booking longer stays (e. g. two plus week trips) in small to mid—size cities with access to immersive natural surroundings and wide—open spaces.

1.What can we learn about Staycation?

A.Travelling to the countryside. B.Taking an isolated adventure. CHaving holidays in nearby places. D.Staying indoors all by oneself. 2.What’s special about Pod travel?

A.Traveling alone. B.Traveling far away.

C.Traveling while working. D.Traveling with loved ones. 3.Where might we find the text in a magazine? A.Medicine. B.Education. C.Tourism D.Career.

B

To hear people talk about Internet friendships, you would think it was one giant web of cat-fishing and e-crime. While we all undoubtedly have to take measures to remain safe online, assuming every friendship or connection made on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook is cheating or insincere would be a mistake.

As a woman who works in the creative industry, I have found real joy in seeking out a community I couldn’t find elsewhere, and making some great friends along the way. My first online friendship was on Twitter with my(now) best friend, during the university exam period. We exchanged study notes in dozens of direct messages, set a study date, and haven’t looked back since.

Drawn to each other by similar circumstances, friendships online are similar to offline in that they tend to begin because of shared interest or common ground-maybe they’ve read the post on Instagram. Maybe they have the same taste in food or politics. Or maybe they just love memes too. If online friendships start similar to friendships offline, they grow in the same way, too. Often through mutual support: apart from calling a friend to congratulate him on that new job, you also re-tweet his jokes and praise his Instagram story.

Despite my positive experiences when I tell people, most are still suspicious. Eyebrows are raised higher when I explain not only have I found a community online but have made friendships with people I meet face-to-face too. Actually, these are just as valid as other friendships, according to behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings, who says online friendships can be real.

So how do you know if people are there for the real you or just because you’re popular on Instagram? Hemmings has simple rules. She tells me “You have to equally feel comfortable that you’re getting something of each other instead of being used to enable something that isn’t friendship.”

Therefore, if all a “friend” online is asking you to do is to promote their work or personal brand and rarely takes an interest in you, then there may be room to question the basis of the friendship. On that note it is worth remembering that just because someone has a lot of followers, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have lots of friends.

4. What is most people’s attitude towards online friendship? A. Negative.

B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Neutral.

5. Why does the writer share her own experience in paragraph 2? A. To introduce the background information of the text. B. To convey the writer’s attitude and give the related example. C. To prove the likely risk for people to develop friendship online. D. To remind people of the various benefits of making friends online. 6. How can online and offline friendships be deepened? A. They should be based on shared interest. B. They need to have common ground. C. They require support from each other. D. They can’t live without social media.

7. According to the author, what’s the golden rule to make friends online? A. A friend to all is a friend to none. B. Without confidence there is no friendship. C. A friend without faults will never be found. D. Friendship cannot stand always on one side.

C

There have been many fine films over the past several years aboutcharacters struggling with Alzheimer’s disease. But few of them have gone as deeply and frighteningly into the corners of adeterioratingmind as The Father,a powerful new drama built around a spellbinding performance from Anthony Hopkins.

At this point in his long career,Hopkinswould seem to have exhausted his ability to surprise us, but his work here is nothing short of astonishing. His character, also named Anthony, is 80 years old and has dementia. At the beginning of the movie, his daughter, Anne — played by Olivia Colman — stops by hisLondonapartment to check on him. Her father's condition has taken a turn for the worse, and his temper has become severe enough to send his latest live in nurse packing. Anthony is stubborn and defiant and insists that he can manage on his own. But that's clearly not the case, given his habit of misplacing his things and his inability to remember names and faces, Anne's included.

As The Father goes on, the more it becomes clear that it's his own mind that's playing tricks on him. What

makes the movie so unsettling is the way it wires us directly into his subjective experience, so that the foundations of the story seem to shift at random from scene to scene. A man suddenly appears in the apartment, claiming to be Anne's husband, which is odd, since just a few moments earlier, Anne seemed to be single. Anne goes out shopping for groceries, but when she returns, she's played not by Olivia Colman but by another actress, Olivia Williams. Even the apartment itself begins to shift. You notice puzzling differences-wasn't there a lamp on that hallway table just a moment ago?

The story in The Father may be complicated but it's also heartbreakingly simple: man grows old and loses his memory, and his daughter, after lifetime of love and devotion, must begin the long painful process of saying goodbye.Hopkinsshows us Anthony's struggle to keep his sense about him. It's a striking performance-and an impossible one to forget.

8. What does the underlined word “deteriorating” mean in the first paragraph? A. Worsening. B. Narrowing. C. Recovering. D. Improving.

9. What do we learn about the character Anthony in the movie? A. He can take care of himself B. He drives away the nurses. C. He is easy-going and forgetful. D. He lives with his daughter all the time.

10. The shift of scenes in the movie is designed to . A. build the dramatic tension in the family. B. show off the well-designed story line. C. frighten the movie-goers with mysterious plot. D. involve the viewers into thedisordered memories. 11. What does the author think ofHopkins?

A. He has run out of his talent. B. He is not suitable for the role C. He masterly plays the old man. D. He presents an odd performance.

D

I was checking out at the supermarket counter on Wednesday night, ready to pay for my bananas, when all of a sudden, fear came upon me. My wallet was gone. And I could only have left it one place: the G9 bus, from which I had gotten off minutes earlier and which was now speeding to some stops. The moment of realizing it was gone

was followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the credit cards, the driver's license, the expensive lipstick ($ 55!).

Two hours after I was back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered while I sat in the dining room on the phone with a credit card company. \"Does Jennifer live here?\" I heard someone say. In her hand was my wallet, without a penny missing. She left before I could offer my gratitude to her.

After I posted the story, I heard from her boyfriend, who identified the good citizen as Erin Ball, a 26-year-old girl working for a trade organization.

Once I figured out her, I called to thank her. She said she spotted my wallet and thought that it's more dangerous to go to a stranger's house than leaving the wallet with the driver, but she still decided to take the chance. \"If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me,\" she said. Ball doesn't find her actions particularly excellent. She added, \"It's not hard to do small things for people.\"

After Ball found my wallet, she decided to post a picture of my driver's license online before going to my house, trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner had she left my doorstep than I got emails from two neighbors who recognized my face, both offering to help me find my missing property.

Ball found my house on a bitterly cold night for which I was extremely grateful. Looking back, I'm not surprised someone had wanted to help a stranger. A warm current of honesty and harmony is running through this town.

12. What do we know about the author according to paragraph 1? A. She missed the G9 bus. B. She paid for her bananas. C. She replaced the credit cards.

D. She found she had left her wallet on the bus. 13. Who helped the author find Ball? A. The G9 driver. B. The girl's boyfriend. C. The author's neighbors. D. The author's husband.

14. What did Ball do first after finding the wallet? A. Ball called the author.

B. Ball went to the author's house.

C. Ball gave the wallet to the bus driver.

D. Ball posted a photo of the author's driving license. 15. Which of the following best describes Erin Ball? A. Humorous and kind. B. Generous and demanding. C. Honest and warm-hearted. D. Caring and outgoing.
