6 . Recently, “college students going to Zibo for barbecue” and “taking a high-speed train to taste Zibo barbecue” have become hot topics on Chinese social platforms. Zibo barbecue offers a distinctive dining experience. On each table is a small stove. Customers can process skewers (肉串) themselves and then wrap them in a thin pancake, usually with a spring onion inside. The experience makes “Zibo barbecue” quite different from other kinds of barbecue.
Data (数据) from Meituan and Dazhong Dianping shows that booking volume (总量) for hotels in Zibo during the five-day May Day holiday is 800 percent higher than that in 2019. Local media in Zibo said the number of passengers arriving and leaving through Zibo railway station has reached 50,000 a day, setting a record in the past three years, with most of them being tourists who come to taste Zibo barbecue.
The local government has caught the chance brought by the sudden trend, to attract more tourists. As early as March 10, it has set up prizes for barbecue shops that are popular among tourists, set up a barbecue organization, and announced the opening of a barbecue festival during the May Day holiday. In order to encourage people to visit the city, Zibo set up a specially customized “barbecue map”, and added 21 new barbecue bus lines, so that tourists can “get on the bus to rest, get off to eat”.
“Barbecue and tourism may not have too much influence on stimulating the economy (刺激经济), but this is a chance for more people to get to know Zibo’s enthusiasm and business environment, which will attract more investment (投资) and create more jobs. This is what really matters,” Wang Dazhuang, a local Zibo citizen said. At present, the biggest problem is that the passenger flow is too big for this city so that many owners of barbecue restaurants are trying to expand (扩大) their barbecue business, according to an owner of a barbecue restaurant.

| A．Zibo has a huge tourism increase because of Zibo barbecue. |
| B．Zibo has always been popular during the May Day holiday. |

It’s a feeling you’ve almost experienced before—the fear of waiting for an exam to start. You worry about whether you’ve prepared well, and about the failure. Gerardo Ramirez and Sian Beilock have found that students do better in exams if they spend 10-minute writing about their anxieties (焦虑).
At first, scientists tested their assumption (假设) in the lab. They asked 20 college students to take two math tests. Before the first test, half of the students sat quietly and the other half wrote about feelings of the coming exam. It turned out that although both groups scored similar marks in the first test, the writing group did much better at the second test. Their scores improved; rising by an extra 5%. And the students who sat quietly actually did worse; their marks were 12% lower.
But did the act of writing itself ________? To answer that, scientists ran another experiment in a real setting. This time, they worked with 100 ninth-grade students and divided them into two groups, the students were asked for a 10-minute writing exercise. Half of them were required to write about their worries about the coming exam, while the other half wrote about an unrelated topic. Only then did they take the exam.
Their final scores showed that if the students wrote about unrelated topics, their scores were lower. If they wrote about their worries, their anxieties had no effect on their marks. And when Ramirez divided the students into two groups according to how anxious they were, only the high group benefited from the exercise.
Ramirez and Beilock’s study has obvious practical (实际的) effect. They’ve found a simple way of helping the anxious students to perform at their true level. They have also shown that the key to control our anxieties is not to push them aside, but to face them.

①Tall buildings, criss-crossed roads, huge crowds...When we talk about cities, such words might come to mind. However, cities can be different. They can be sweet homes for both people and animals. Here are three exciting and creative examples.
②Vertical forests in Milan In the centre of Milan city, there are “vertical (垂直的) forests”! Green plants cover two tall buildings. One is 110 metres tall, while the other is 76 metres. The area these plants cover is the same as 30,000 square metres of woodland. The forests opened in 2014.
③What makes the forests? The answer is 800 trees, 15,000 ground-cover plants and 5,000 shrubs. People plant them in big tubs on large balconies. They attract 1,600 kinds of birds and butterflies. Gardeners often trim the plants in order that people can see clearly out of the windows with them.
④Wuhan, the “sponge city” Sponge (海绵) absorbs water. “Sponge city” absorbs rainwater. In 2015, Wuhan started to build a “sponge city”, one of the first cities to do so in China. In the city, water can pass through the pavements (人行道). There are also gardens, ponds and wetlands all over the city. When it rains, they can absorb water. So there will be less flooding.
⑤By the end of last year, 20 percent of the city’s area reached the standard of a “sponge city”. In 2030, the area will reach 80 percent.
⑥Living with caracals in Cape Town Caracals live in many nature reserves, gardens and vineyards in Cape Town, South Africa. They are the last large predator (食肉动物) there. However, they live in danger. As much as 70 percent of their deaths are because they get hit by cars. To save caracals, people started a project. They catch and mark the cats, and give the cats radio collars to tell where they go. After locating roadkill places, people invite an artist to make artworks and put them nearby. The art helps people remember to drive slowly and take care of the cats. There are also caracal road signs. All of these have caught the interest of people in Cape Town.
1. Why do gardeners often trim the plants in Milan according to the passage?| A．To attract birds and butterflies. |
| B．To see clearly out of the windows. |
| C．To make their buildings more beautiful. |

I saw her at the play and because of her invitation, I sat beside her. “Do you remember the first time I saw you? You asked me to have lunch,” she asked.
Did I remember?
It was twenty years ago. I was living in a tiny flat and making little money.
After reading my book, she wrote to ask if I’d have a chat with her and give her a lunch at Foyot’s. Foyot’s was such an expensive restaurant that I never went there before, but I had £80 and a lunch shouldn’t cost over £15. So I agreed.
Still, I was shocked to see the prices. They were much higher than I expected, but her words comforted me, “I never eat more than one thing for lunch.”
“Don’t say that!” I answered generously (慷慨地).
“I never eat more than one thing, except a little salmon (三文鱼) ” Well, a beautiful salmon just came in Foyot’s. I ordered it for my guest. And the waiter asked if she’d have something else.
“No, I never eat more than one thing, unless you had caviar (鱼子酱),” My heart sank (下沉), but I told the waiter to bring it. For myself, I chose the cheapest dish.
She talked happily while I was wondering whether I had enough money to pay the bill. If no, it’d be awful to borrow from my guest, and I’d say my money was stolen. It’d be worse if she had no enough money either. Then I had to leave my watch here.
She finished eating. “Coffee?” I asked. “No more than one thing, except ice cream and coffee.” I didn’t care now, ordering one for her and another for myself. Then a terrible thing happened. The waiter came with huge peaches, and my guest took one.
At last, the bill came. I knew she thought me mean (吝啬的) when I left only £3 for the waiter as the tip, and there was nothing in my pocket.
“Follow my example,” she said as we left. “Never eat more than one thing for lunch.”
“I’ll do better,” I replied. “I’ll eat nothing for dinner tonight.”
“Humorous!” she cried, jumping into a taxi.
I had my revenge (报仇). Today she weighed 294 pounds.
