4 . After moving from a refugee camp (难民营) to a big city, 18-year-old Dhakal wanted to give back to his community.

A few years ago, while working at a restaurant, Dhakal met a homeless man. While cleaning tables, he talked with the man, and the man shared his story about how he became homeless. “One of the necessities he needed was clothes, so that is where I got the idea,” Dhakal explained.

Dhakal Collects Clothes hosted its first clothing drive in 2019. He collected everything, including socks, hats, jackets, coats and shoes. “With that project, I was able to bring so many people together and change so many lives,” said Dhakal.

For Dhakal, Dhakal Collects Clothes is just a start. In the future, he wants to own a multimillion-dollar business that focuses on giving its money away to help others. To help him meet that goal, a kind person introduced Dhakal to Cuban, a billionaire philanthropist (慈善家), who is also one of Dhakal’s heroes. Cuban, who said that he knew what it was like to struggle and want to give back, gave Dhakal a specific goal: Collect 575 coats to give away to those in need.

While Dhakal first struggled to collect coats, he used a piece of advice from Cuban to give himself: He networked with Amy, who worked at a local charity organization. In 4 days, he collected thousands of coats, much more than his initial goal.

“I never dreamed of collecting 3, 000 coats, but the people that I connected with made it possible,” Dhakal said.

“You're setting an example, Dhakal. It isn't about connections,” Cuban said. “It isn't about who you know. Effort. It's all about how hard you're willing to work to get something done.”

1. What inspired Dhakal to start his charity project?

5 . What do you think of when you hear the word Australia? Kangaroos and beaches? We’ve rounded up some top Aussie travel bloggers who have given us their trips about the best places to visit in Australia.

Blue Mountains

If you’re looking for a dose of nature, the Blue Mountains are for you. Make sure you have time to visit Wentworth Falls. This spot offers walks of varying difficulty with appealing views of the waterfall, and it’s just a short drive from the main event—The Three sisters. These famous rock formations are the highlight of this picturesque (如画的) postcard area. If you head to Echo Point, don’t miss the Science Railway—the steepest passenger railway in the world.

Sydney

Sydney is filled with beautiful beaches, fun activities and good food. One of the best ways to view the beauty of Sydney is by taking a relaxing walk. An amazing beach walk, and one of the best, is from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach. It offers extremely pleasant views of the area’s famous rocky beach, thin beach and sandy beach.

Byron Bay

Byron is one of Australia’s top tourist destinations. From countless waterfalls and swimming holes to mountains and bushwalks, this small region hides so much beauty. I would suggest starting with a hike to the bottom of Minyon Falls for a swim, a hike to the top of Mt Warning for a sunrise, and then a hike to the Natural Arch. These are just some of the most accessible, but there is so much more if you’re willing to explore.

Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast has become one of the most beautiful strips of coastland in Australia, long white beaches lined with health-conscious cafés and boutique clothes shops (精品服装店). When you aren’t absorbing the sunshine on one of the many beaches, you can head out to the hinterland (内陆地区) for a day of mountain hiking or discover the swimming holes and waterfalls with not a soul in sight.

6 . Just like happiness and sadness, anxiety is part of everyone's lived experience—but it's not always tolerated as such. “People often spend too much time and effort trying to rid anxiety,” says Dr Joel Minden, a clinical psychologist. “I encourage them to remember that anxiety is a normal emotional response.”

If you try to banish anxiety, all you're doing is putting it more at the forefront of your mind. But if you accept anxiety as part of life, you can learn to relate to it with self-pity or even with humour. This is a cornerstone of acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT), which has been gaining clinical validation, including by the American Psychological Association. ACT guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and to accept that parts o£ life are hard. Sufferers are encouraged to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts, examining their causes while also keeping in mind their personal goals and values.

This way of relating to anxiety has been a powerful strategy for John Bateman, the 52- year-old host of the podcast Our Anxiety Stories. When negative thoughts arise, he acknowledges them but doesn't let them drive his decisions. Over the years, Bateman has noticed that if he submits to his thoughts, they don't go away but dramatically increase. But if he recognizes them for what they are, just a passing thought and not a fact that needs to be acted on, they gradually go away.

Learning to live with anxiety is an individual process and one that requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step to take, some lifestyle changes have been proven to take the edge off, as well. Since tiredness, increased tension and stress leave us much easier to fall into anxiety, a well-balanced diet, sufficient rest and, especially, regular exercise can help us manage it better.

1. What may Dr Joel Minden agree about anxiety?

A．It goes hand in hand with joy.	B．It should be seriously taken.
C．It is easily-earned experience.	D．It is often improperly treated.

2. What can explain the underlined word “banish” in Paragraph 2?

A．Ignore.

B．Hide.

C．Recognize.

D．Control.

3. Why does the author mention John Bateman in Paragraph 3?

A．To explain a strategy.	B．To describe a phenomenon.
C．To present a successful case.	D．To introduce a public figure.

4. What is advised to deal with anxiety in the last part?

A．Concentrating on the process.	B．Making lifestyle adjustments.
C．Avoiding exposure to pressure.	D．Learning to get things in place.

The younger generation is turning its back on the traditional holiday routes of museums and shopping centers in favor of new experiences.

Now, a growing number of Chinese are expressing interest in vacations which are tailored    2    (meet) their specific requirements. Studies show that most of them are middle class. Their high incomes make it possible for them to design their unique holiday     3    (path)instead of walking on well-worn ones. Moreover, the majority are    4    (main) the post-80s youth and 90s youth,    5     don't want to visit crowded tourist sites.

10 . When I was an incoming(即将入学的）student in University of Oxford，I participated FYSOP. Ever since then, whenever it comes up in conversation, I am met with the following question: “What is FYSOP?”     1    

FYSOP stands for First Year Student Outreach Project, which focuses around a week service to the city of Oxford and its various neighborhoods.     2     They volunteer for the Oxford community at local sites helping out schools, parks or non-profit organizations.

Students are divided into groups and led by student leaders. These leaders ensure that each place is prepared and that the students get there safely.    3    In this way the incoming students are able to reflect on what it means to give back and to be a part of the community. These conversations are important for incoming students because of the change they experience starting out in college.

    4     Students obtain valuable volunteer experiences and meet new people. Also, FYSOP participants get to move in a week earlier than most other students. This means that you get to skip out on the hurried move in schedule and might even get a slightly cheaper flight than if you were moving in with the other 140,000 college students.

    5     Through my personal experience, I met some of my best friends, got a better understanding of the layout(布局) of Oxford，and really enjoyed volunteering at various non-profits. If you are not, maybe consider staffing FYSOP in the future.

A．Here’s a brief introduction.

B．Here’s why it has been established.

C．The participants are all incoming students.

D．There are so many bonuses being a part of FYSOP!

E．If you’re an incoming student, FYSOP is worth looking into.

F．Both the community and the students benefit a lot from the project.

G．Leaders also open up conversations throughout the service experience.
