What’s on your travel list for 2020? I’ve consulted several travel experts to find out the top places in the USA worth visiting in 2020.
Where: New Orleans, Louisiana
Why: New Orleans is known for its music and food scene-not to mention the festivals. It has about 130 festivals each year so there’s really no bad time to visit. Bourbon Street is the obvious choice for food, drink and jazz and it’s definitely a must-visit location, especially for first-timers to the city.
Where: Vail Village, Colorado
Why: Vail is the perfect destination for travelers looking to find almost everything in one central spot. Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular town with cobblestone (鹅卵石) streets for wandering leisurely. The country’s largest free transportation system runs frequently, making it easy to access almost anywhere from Vail Village to Lionshead Village.
Where: Hudson Valley, New York
Why: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city when they need a healthy dose of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and half north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the mountains.
【1】You can enjoy different things in New Orleans except ________.
A.scenery B.music C.festivals D.food
【2】Which place would you prefer if you like wandering leisurely?
A.Bourbon Street. B.Vail Village.
C.Lionshead Village. D.New Orleans.
【3】What can New Yorkers enjoy in the Hudson Valley?
A.Ancient towns. B.Healthy diets.
C.Slow movement. D.Inner peace.

The African grey parrot’s ability to talk and mimic sounds makes it a charming companion. African grey owners often report that their greys oftentimes talk in context and can understand their people’s emotions (情感). The African grey parrot is not just a top talker - this bird is also known for its extreme intelligence, which gives them the name “The Einsteins of the Bird World”.
The bird is medium-sized, dusty-looking and almost pigeon-like. It has a bright red tail, intelligent orange eyes, and a stunning scalloped (扇形的) pattern to its feathers. Their diet in the wild consists mostly of nuts, seeds, fruits, and leafy matter.
At home, African greys need plenty of toys that challenge their intelligence, such as food searching and puzzle toys. Nutri-Berries by Lafeber Company are a perfect choice, which, with a balance of grains, seeds and other nutrients in the shape of a berry, encourages African greys to hold, bite off, and even play with, just as they do in the wild.
African greys seem especially affected by stress and disturbing noise in their environment and can be put more at ease by placing one corner of the cage against a wall as opposed to in the middle of a room.
African grey parrots are more likely to suffer from lack of Vitamin-A/beta-carotene, and therefore benefit from eating vegetables high in beta-carotene, such as cooked sweet potato and fresh kale. Lack of Vitamin-D is another concern, especially for greys on a poor diet. Offering a balanced, pill-shaped diet, such as Nutri-Berries, helps prevent vitamin and mineral shortage.
【1】Why are African grey parrots called “The Einsteins of the Bird World”?
A.Because of their brain size. B.On account of their intelligence.
C.Owing to their rich emotions. D.Due to their talking ability.
【2】What can “Nutri-Berries” probably be?
A.A brand of bird food. B.Puzzle toys for birds.
C.A type of round fruit. D.Wild Intelligence games.
【3】What is the characteristic of African grey parrots?
A.They may get ill due to lack of Vitamin
B.They prefer to stay in the middle of the room.
C.They are dusty looking with blue eyes.
D.They are smart and love to have fun.
【4】Where can we most probably find the passage?
A.In a wildlife magazine. B.In science fiction.
C.In a travel guide. D.On a shopping website.

It's hard for doctors to do a thorough eye exam on small children. But a new smartphone app takes advantage of parents' fondness for taking pictures of their children to look for signs that a child might be developing an eye disease.
The app is the result of a father's five-year quest to find a way to catch the earliest signs of eye diseases, and prevent loss of vision. Five years ago, doctors diagnosed (诊断)Noah Shaw's retinoblastoma—a rare type of eye cancer—when he was 4 months old. To make the diagnosis, the doctors shined a light into Noah's eye, and got a pale reflection from the back of the eyeball, an indication that there was something wrong there. Noah's father Bryan, a scientist, wondered if he could see that same pale reflection in pictures of his baby son. Sure enough, he saw the reflection, which doctors call "white eye", in a picture taken right after Noah was born.
Then Bryan decided to create an app that could scan photos for signs of this reflection. Now, that app exists, called CRADLE. To test the app, Bryan and his colleagues analyzed more than 50, 000 pictures taken of 40 children. Half had no eye disease and half had. "On average, the app detected 'white eye' in pictures collected 1. 3 years before diagnosis," says Bryan.
The app isn't perfect. It sometimes misses "white eye" when it's there, and sometimes says it's there when it's not. That latter condition is a problem. Even though the so-called false positive occurs less than 1% of the time, that's not good enough. There are about 4 million children born in the U. S. each year. A 1% false positive rate would mean tens of thousands of children showing up at the doctor unnecessarily.
Still, Bryan is upbeat about the promise of the app. "This is exciting new technology, and this is how I think we're going to go about screening for a number of diseases in the future," he says.
【1】What inspired Bryan to create CRADLE?
A.His son's diagnosis.
B.His family photos.
C.His hobby of taking pictures.
D.His working experience as a scientist.
【2】What do we know about "white eye"?
A.lt is a sign of some eye diseases.
B.It hardly causes serious loss of vision.
C.It refers to the white part of an eyeball.
D.It occurs when no light is reflected from the eye.
【3】Why is a 1% false positive rate still a problem?
A.It may delay the treatment of a patient.
B.It may badly affect the future of the app.
C.It may raise serious doubts about doctors.
D.It may cause a waste of medical resources.
【4】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "upbeat" in the last paragraph?
A.Curious. B.Cautious.
C.Optimistic. D.Worried.

In a classic episode (片段)of The Simpsons, Homer's class reunion ends in shame when one of Homer’s guilty secrets is exposed: he never graduated from high school. To get his diploma, he must pass a science test. As he sits down to retake the exam, he holds one of his trademark dialogues with his brain. “All right,brain. You don’t like me and I don’t like you. But let’s just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.”
Many a true word is spoken as a joke. Homer Simpson’s Everyman character really is an Everyman. For most people, engaging in the kind of effortful thinking that is required to pass a science test feels too much like hard work. It is so much easier to quit and let the brain’s autopilot take over.
And no wonder. Evolution has blessed the human brain with all kinds of mental shortcuts that make life manageable. If we had to think about every action or weigh up every decision, we would break down. As a result, certain ideas and modes of thinking come naturally to us, such as effortless thinking.
But at huge cost. Our mental shortcuts work fine at the level of individuals and small-scale societies, but in an increasingly interconnected and globalized world, they are a danger to society. Effortless thinking is at the root of many of the modern world’s most serious problems: terrorism,hatred, inequality and religious extremism. All are caused by people disengaging their critical thinking and going with their gut (非理性的)feeling.
Everybody is capable of gut feeling, but also of the critical thinking. Both thinking styles are needed to make the world go round. Unfortunately, the latter requires training that is unavailable or unappealing to many people.
One of the bright spots in 2017 was the start of a movement called the March For Science. Those who believe in the power of science need to keep on marching, or give more power to people who don’t much like their own brains — or other people’s.
【1】What does the author want to convey through Homer's story?
A.Feeling is very important.
B.Drinking beer is harmful to one’s brain.
C.High school seniors should work hard.
D.Most people hate effortful thinking like Homer.
【2】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A.Our mental shortcuts function well.
B.Effortless thinking is expensive for people.
C.Effortless thinking is dangerous to society.
D.People prefer effortless thinking to critical thinking.
【3】What does the author think of critical thinking?
A.It makes the world go round.
B.It needs necessary training.
C.It works fine at the level of personal affairs.
D.It leads to the March For Science in 2017.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.We Need to March Towards Science
B.Thinking Contributes to Social Problems
C.Effortless Thinking Is Out of Date
D.Critical Thinking Is Urgently Needed

In Stressful Times, Make Stress Work for You
These are stressful times. Fortunately, we can actually use that stress to improve our health and well-being. Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact. 【1】.
Step 1: Acknowledge Your Stress
Labeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala — the center of emotion and fear — to the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive control and planning.
In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful, reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate.
【2】.
Step 2: Own Your Stress
The next step is to welcome, or “own,” your stress. We only stress about things that we care about. 【3】. If we deny or avoid our stress, we my actually be denying or disconnecting ourselves from the things we value and treasure most.
Step 3:【4】
Connecting to the core values behind your stress sets you up for the third and most essential step: using or leveraging stress to achieve your goals and connect more deeply with the things that matter most.
Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress? Think about how you might change your response to this stress to achieve your goals and your purpose.
There’s so much happening right now that we can’t control. 【5】. Some psychologists argue that true transformative change can occur only during stress or crises. The trick is to channel your coronavirus stress as energy to make the most of this time.
A.Use Your Stress
B.Release Your Stress
C.By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress.
D.But — as many people are noticing — there are also unprecedented opportunities.
E.Instead, it’s our mind-set about stress that matters most.
F.But later, we will be able to ask ourselves how we each responded to this crisis.
G.This step is also an opportunity to understand what’s at the heart of your personal stress or anxiety.
