If you are a fan of Chinese culture, Dunhuang is a mustvisit place
for you. And Glory Is Back is a mustsee show for you.
This show has 10 episodes(集). In each of the episodes, a famous
host teaches a group of young people to learn and feel the rich culture in
Dunhuang. They learn about the frescoes(湿壁画), music, traditions, foods, sports and
even fashions in this city. From this show, they get to know what happened more than
one thousand years ago. Also in the show, they meet some people who work hard to
protect(保护) the cultural treasures (宝物) in Dunhuang. The workers try their best to
make us see the great treasures today.
The director of the show thought of the idea of creating a show about Dunhuang
during a twoweek trip there.
“Dunhuang is a wonderful place. Once you visit it, you'll never forget about it
and always want to go back there. The frescoes will slowly die out one day, so we
made this show to call on people to protect them，” said the director.
In order to protect the frescoes from the light of cameras, the director and his
team didn't use any cameras in the caves(洞窟). Luckily, the digitization (数字化)of
the frescoes helped them a lot.

C
There is a famous saying in the West: Eat breakfast like a king. It means
breakfast should be the most important meal of your day. Why?
The answer is in the word “breakfast” itself. Breakfast means “breaking of the
fast(禁食期)”. There is about twelve hours between supper and breakfast, so it's
important to eat breakfast to keep in good health. Also, the food for breakfast will
give you energy to use during the day.
Eating a good breakfast is important, but not many people are changing their
eating habits. In the US, about 66% of people have their main meal in the evening.
For most Japanese and Australians, the evening meal is the main meal of the day, too.
In Mexico, the main meal for many families is usually at 2: 00 pm. In
Switzerland, the main meal is also in the middle of the day.
Many nutritionists (营养学家) say people should eat small, lowfat (低脂肪的)
meals five or six times a day. But most people think that what you eat is more
important than when you eat it. Eating healthy foods like vegetables, fish and fresh
fruit is a good way to enjoy a healthy life.

People in Denmark have happy lives. Why? Because they know the secret (秘密)
to happiness—“hygge”.
“Hygge” is a special way of life. Danish people often use the word to tell the
way they spend long and cold winter days. With almost 17 hours of darkness every
day in winter, they spend more time indoors. At that time, Danish people often get
together for a meal or hot drinks. After winter, when it's not so cold, “hygge” can be
picnics in the park, parties in the garden and outdoor movie nights.
However, playing on your phone at home all day is the least “hygge” thing. TV
is okay, but you'd better ask some friends to watch movies with you, as staying
together is another key part of being “hygge”.
For Danish people, lighting candles (点蜡烛) is the most important part of
5 / 11
creating an environment (环境) of “hygge” at home. They light more candles each
year than any other European country.
In a word, “hygge” is about creating a warm environment and enjoying the little
simple things in life. By making some small changes to your life, you can practice this
way wherever you are.
13. Which of the following are ways of “hygge”？
①Having a meal with family ②Having a picnic in the park ③Playing
computer games alone
④Watching movies with friends ⑤Holding a party in the garden
A. ①②③⑤
B. ①③④⑤
C. ①②④⑤
D. ②③④⑤
14. Why do Danish people light a lot of candles each year?
A. To bring more light in the room.
B. To spend winter days quickly.
C. To keep themselves warm.
D. To create an environment of “hygge”.
15. What is the structure (结构) of the passage? (①＝Paragraph 1，②＝Paragraph
2, …)
16. What's the best title for the passage?
A. How to live a happier life than others
B. How to make “hygge” famous
C. Danish people's secret to happiness
D. Danish people's secret to making friends

阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。
Do you like to travel? Where do you like to go most? As a new year is coming
soon, it's time to make new travel plans. Let's have a look at where Americans would
like to go in 2025. (Chart 1)
We can get lots of things from travel, including(包括) getting to know new
people and cultures and getting new experiences.
What do you usually talk about when you are planning a trip? Most people
would answer that the choice(选择) of where to go is the most important thing. But I
think the choice of whom to travel with may be just as important. As a recent survey
among 800 American kids shows, Mother is the top pick for a travel pal(伙伴). (Chart
2)
In fact, traveling is good for your body and mind. Traveling to new places and
meeting new people can make you different. As the famous Chinese saying goes, “It
9 / 11
is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. ”
