Born in Shenzhen, Luo Yi’s idea on life was shaped by the time she spent in the countryside.
The 28-year-old girl’s studies and work have seen her life in major cities around the world, such as
London, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing. But her interest remains in the countryside. This interest was
developed by her father who loves outdoor activities. By the age of 4, she was travelling with her father and
taking 10-kilometer bicycle rides in the countryside.
In 2011, Luo went to the US to study history and environment. During vacations, she returned to
China and studied the projects in the countryside. When she worked as an intern（实习生）in Wenchuan,
Sichuan province in 2012, she noticed that some local traditions and culture were disappearing even though
some historical buildings were rebuilt. Also, the younger generations seemed to have no interest in their
own culture.
In 2015, Luo graduated（毕业）from the University of Chicago. She set up Laotu in 2016. It helps
develop the countryside and youth education.
Laotu also educates young people in cities about rural（乡下的）lives and culture. Its Course in the
Mountain program takes them to rural areas. There they can learn the villagers’ work and life. The program
is designed to improve their understanding of the relationship between people and nature.
"Rural areas are part of our culture," Luo said. "We, as the new generation, should play a role in
bringing rural China a better future.”11．Which of the following is TRUE about Luo’s father?

The idea that “knowledge is wealth” is not a new one. However, this idea is being put into use in a
creative way in public libraries across Japan. In 2010, the country’s public library, Shimonoseki City
Library in Yamaguchi Prefecture first carried out “reading bankbooks（存折）”in order to encourage
people to read more.
In each reading bankbook, the titles of the books that people have read are listed. The dates when the
books are borrowed and are supposed to return are also included. Besides, the price of each book readers
have read is also listed. This emphasizes（强调）the idea that knowledge is valuable. It also gives readers
a sense of achievement for what they have read for free.
The Shimonoseki City Library developed “reading bankbooks” with Uchida Yoko, a company that
sells teaching tools. Since it first came out in 2010, the idea has become very popular. Today, it is also used
in some primary and junior high schools as well. With reading bankbooks, people can put a price on
knowledge.16．Where was the idea of “reading bankbooks” first carried out in Japan?

17．Which of the following are listed in each reading bankbook?
①The dates when the books are borrowed.
②The titles of the books that people have read.
③The price that people should pay for the book

18．What can we know about Uchida Yoko?

C．It sells teaching tools. D．It sells valuable books
19．What’s probably the final purpose of “reading bankbooks”?
A．To advise people to work in the bank.

Workout clothes? Check. Water bottle? Check. Breakfast? Um …It's something that has been hotly
debated by early morning gym-goers for years. And now a study has finally found out whether to exercise
before or after breakfast.
Researchers analyzed the energy spending of 12 healthy, active men aged 20 to 26. Each of them
completed three different tests: eating a breakfast of oats（燕麦） and milk and then resting, eating the
same breakfast 2 hours before cycling for 1 hour, and doing the same 1 hour of exercise without having
breakfast. The study showed that when the men didn't have breakfast, they had a greater calorie deficit（不
足） throughout the day of about 150 calories on average, showing that fast exercise is the best for weight
loss.
“These results suggest that for healthy young men, a short-term energy deficit may be more easily
achieved if they exercise without breakfast,” the study's authors said.
Here's how it works: When you do fast exercise, your body doesn't have ready energy from food, so itdraws from other sources, like stored body fat, which makes your exercise more effective at burning fat and
helping you lose weight. Also, exercising in a fast state keeps your insulin（胰岛素） level low, allowing
your body to produce more growth hormone（荷尔蒙激素）, which also burns fat.
When insulin is increased - as is the case after you eat-your body will be in a state of wanting to store
fat, not burn it. It doesn't matter whether you exercise like a mad man after a meal, because you won't be
able to burn body fat until insulin levels drop.
21．Which topic has been hotly debated by early morning gym-goers?
A．What food they should eat for breakfast.
B．Whether to eat before or after they exercise.
C．What equipment they should bring to the gym.
D．Whether to exercise in the morning or at night.
22．What do we know about the three tests?
A．Twelve people took part in them.
B．All the people in the tests ate breakfast.
C．Twelve people were divided into three groups.
D．They were done by twelve researchers from the US.
23．What does the underlined phrase “fast exercise" refer to?
A．One does light exercise in a fast way.
B．One works out on an empty stomach.
C．One exercises fast and long after a meal.
D．One works out in the morning regularly.
24．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Exercising without food is bad for our health.
B．The level of insulin varies from person to person.
C．Unless insulin drops, exercise can't burn body fat.
D．High level of insulin can produce more growth hormone.
25．Where can we see the passage?
A．In a food magazine. B．In the Health Weekly.
C．In a travel guidebook. D．On a school noticeboard.
