Curt McArdle, a British vlogger（视频博主）, 26, has lived in Inner Mongolia（内蒙古）for five years, teaching English in Hohhot. In his free time, he likes making videos about his trips to villages near Hohhot and has shared over 10 such videos on YouTube.
McArdle saw the big changes in those villages during his trips over the years. The old broken roads in the village become much better now. Hohhot also opened two subway lines in the last two years.
“Now you can easily spend a day in a village. You can go to a restaurant to buy some food. You can go to the park to relax... You can pay for everything with WeChat or Alipay. There is always 5G, so I can use the map on my phone to get back to the city. But there was nothing when I first went there,” says McArdle. In some villages, traders told him that they could sell local products at higher prices thanks to the growing number of visitors brought in by the more convenient transport.
McArdle thinks it’s China’s effort in poverty alleviation（扶贫） that make these changes happen in Hohhot’s countryside. He hopes to go on vlogging to show the real China to the world and become a part of the development in the country.

【推荐2】China has changed rapidly over the past 74 years. We asked some students to share their feelings about the rapid changes and developments (发展) of China. Here are some of their answers online.
A few months ago, our school visited the China International Import Expo. In the 5G hall, I was impressed by how quickly people could download (下载) videos. It took just seconds. It was amazing! I also saw a robot with sensors (感应器) in all parts of its body. With the help of 5G technology, the robot can do the same things as people do. I hope I can create something like 5G.

People love to travel. In the 1970s, anyone who was lucky enough to have a bicycle would be the envy (羡慕的对象) of others. Then, green trains came out. But they ran at a speed (速度) of 30km per hour. In the 2010s, the speed of China’s fastest trains had risen to 350km per hour. For my mom, she had her first train trip when she was 17. But now children at my age can visit many places thanks to the highly developed transportation network. I have visited Beijing, Tibet and Xiamen so far.

【推荐3】①Aaron Whiteside, born in the 1980s, believes that life was better in times gone by. He thinks that people were polite and nice in the 1930s but they are greedy (贪婪的) in the modern society. But his friend thinks that living conditions have improved a lot and humans are still kind today. So what do you think?
②Just like Aaron Whiteside, nostalgic people think people lived more happily with less in the past. In the old days, people sat around a table together, sharing food and conversations. But now most UK families spend about 20 minutes on supper before hurrying off. Families know less about each other’s lives. There is much more pressure on making a living.
③Besides, people bought fewer things in the past, which was better for the environment and made people more creative. For example, bands from the 1960s, such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, were much better than today’s. Creative expression is now being lost to technology and greed.
④___▲___. In their opinion, both men and women are able to live how they like now. However, women’s position was quite low in the past because they were expected to stay at home, looking after babies and doing a lot of housework. Most women led a boring life at that time.
⑤What’s more, it is agreed that children get better education today. That’s because there are more schools and colleges in the modern society. Thanks to technology development, we live in a shared world where we share information, services and culture, and that teaches us new perspectives (视角).

【推荐1】The Cornell system for taking notes, created by Professor Walter Pauk of Cornell University during the 1950s. It is mainly used to help students save time and make their note taking the most effective. The system consists of the following steps.
Divide your paper into two columns.
Use a large loose-leaf* notebook for your note taking. And only use one side of each leaf of paper in the notebook. Draw a vertical line two and a half inches* from the left side of your paper. This is the recall column of your notes and key words or phrases can be written in the recall column.
Take notes in the note-taking column.
All your lecture* notes will be taken to the right of this paper and try to use abbreviations. You don't need to write down the complete words or phrases, for example, just write the first letter of each word.
Think of your notes as an outline of the lecture and focus on getting just the main points down. The main points can help you to review your notes easily in the future.
Review your notes within 24 hours.
After each lecture, read through your notes and make them clearer if necessary. Now use the two-and-a-half-inch column to the left of your notes. Write down the main ideas of the lecture. You will have to reread the lecturer's ideas, think them over, and put them in your own words if you can. Cover up the right-hand part of your notes and recite* the general ideas and thoughts of the lecture from memory.
Using the Cornell system can help organize your notes, actively involve you in the creation of knowledge, improve your study skills, and lead to academic success.

【推荐3】Man still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex (复杂的) part of his body—the brain.
It may be surprising to learn that it isn’t age that makes you lose your memory. The reason could be that you have a “lazy” memory. Like your body, your memory becomes better exercise. Once given plenty of exercise, the brain keeps its power.
Some recent research suggests that we remember everything that happens to us. But most forgetting takes place immediately after learning. For example, an hour after learning something new, more than 50% has been forgotten. After a month, 80% has been forgotten, and so on. This research is very important. It shows if you review new materiel you have learnt, you remember much more. So it’s of the greatest importance to review newly learned material often, and have breaks often. You’d best remember what you learn at the beginning of a learning period and at the point where you stop. After the break, review what was learned before the break and then continue learning the new material. These breaks should happen every 20 or 45 minutes.
Other experiments have shown the brain needs break to take in knowledge. The time necessary for this is 5 lo 10 minutes. After the break, the memory will have taken in what it has just learned, and more will be remembered.
So when you are studying alone, make a plan which shows when to have breaks and to review newly learned material immediately before you begin studying again. If you do in this way, your memory will be better.
1. What may make you lose your memory according to the passage?| A．Getting too old. | B．Hardly using your brain. |
| C．Working too hard. | D．Using your brain too much. |
| A．By telling stories. | B．By comparing facts. |
| C．By expressing feelings. | D．By giving examples. |
| A．The break. | B．The material. | C．The brain. | D．The experiment. |
A． | B． |
C． | D． |
