Serbia is one of the most affordable destinations in Europe. Here are some beautiful places in Serbia that you can
pay a visit to.
Mountain Avala
Overlooking Belgrade and topped with the Avala Tower in the Balkans, Mountain Avala is a must-visit spot that
makes for a pleasant break from the capital’s busy streets. The Avala Tower is a tall telecommunication tower in this
area which was rebuilt in 2010, offering the pictureperfect whole view over Belgrade from viewing platforms and a cafe
for visitors.
Museum of Srem
The regional museum in the town of Sremska Mitrovica has a valuable collection in prehistoric, Roman and
medieval periods. Its highlights are the numerous archaeological findings from Sremska Mitrovica, including a unique
Roman sundial (日晷) with the sculptures of some figures.
The Gallery of Matica Srpska
The Gallery of Matica Srpska is one of the most significant and lasting cultural institutions in Serbia. It’s not a
mere gallery but rather a national treasure, with several floors covering priceless Serbian artworks from the late 17th to
the 20th century in different styles with countless landscapes and graphic art and more.
Uvac Special Nature Reserve
The spectacular meanders of the Uvac River are the highlights of the Uvac Special Nature Reserve in southwestern
Serbia. The incredibly green river snakes through rocks in a zigzag manner—a feat of nature that is best admired from

Pleasanton Partnerships in Education Foundation (PPIE) was started in 1987 to raise money by organizing running
events for local schools. Based in Pleasanton, California, a suburb of San Francisco, the non-profit organization recently
hosted a family-focused fitness event for the community. “Our event helps to bring the community together,” said Mindy
Louie, events and outreach manager for PPIE. “We have more than 3,000 participants, hard-working volunteers and
viewers.”
This year’s fitness event took place on April 30 at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. It featured races of two miles,
five kilometers and ten kilometers. A new Kids Challenge consisted of a quarter-mile run to encourage younger children
to participate. When asked to describe the run, 11-year-old Jeremy Louie said, “Fun, exciting and enjoyable.” Jeremy
added that he was happy to help support his school.
PPIE supports all 15 schools in the Pleasanton Unified School District, which include more than 14, 500 students
and 800 teachers and staff. The nonprofit organization tries to fund programs affected by budget cuts, while encouraging
fitness and athleticism. To date, the PPIE has raised over $1 million for the school district.
A local runners’ group called the BURN Youth Development (BYD) participated in the fundraising. The BYD has
since grown to more than 100 youth members, 30 of whom ran in April’s PPIE event. Jerry Wu, the group’s founder
and lead coach, explained that the BYD was born to keep kids running. “Watching them running strongly and happily
makes me smile every time,” Jerry said.
Jerry encourages teamwork and teaches the students valuable running techniques. As a BYD member, Ollie Gu,
an eighth grader, was one of the top finishers in the ten-kilometer run. He completed the race in 40 minutes and 46
seconds and won first place in the 12-to-15 year-old age group. “The race was extremely rewarding,” Ollie said. “I’m
looking forward to it next year.”
24. Which race was recently created?
A. A ten-kilometer run. B. A two-mile run.
C. A five-kilometer run. D. A quarter-mile run.
25. Why does the author list some numbers in paragraph 3?
A. To stress the great influence of PPIE.
B. To show a small budget for education.
C. To introduce the school district in brief.
D. To advertise the organization’s programs.
26. What did both Jerry and Ollie want to convey?
A. Their duties as athletes. B. Their recognition of the BYD.
C. Their feelings as coaches. D. Their anticipation of the next run.
27. Which is the best title?
A. Sports volunteers. B. Young sportsmen.
C. Running with teachers. D. Racing for education.

Going against the tide of flocking to well-known yet generally jam-packed tourist destinations on vacation, a
growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts to seek unique,
relaxed holiday experiences.
During the week-long public holiday, which ended on Oct 7, large numbers of vacationers, especially young
professionals who long to escape hectic city life, avoided popular holiday destinations in order to get off the beaten
track and enjoy some peace and quiet.
According to data from online travel agency Qunar, as cited by Beijing Daily, the number of rooms booked at
hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year on year.
Some young professionals who normally have little time for themselves simply had a staycation in a hotel to make
the much-awaited time more relaxing.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations,
which often involve pricey tickets, meals and hotel stays.
“Tourism used to be about sightseeing. Now it is about experiences,” Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism
Academy, told Beijing Daily.
He said popular tourist spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays. As people become
more mature travelers, they are increasingly reluctant to follow the herd.
In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” and “standardized” as developed ones and are able
to offer more authentic experiences and natural encounters, according to social media posts. And unlike popular
destinations, some underexplored places with little online exposure can offer more surprises.
COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an
unpredictable quality. A traveler has no way of knowing what lies ahead before departure, be it a perfect holiday or one
interrupted by a sudden outbreak. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or
places with fewer tourists.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher at the Beijing-based public policy think tank Pangoal, said that reverse tourism will
become one of the future directions for the market and is an opportunity for growth comparable to the camping economy.
To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of
underrated, lesser-known destinations.
28. Young people like reverse tourism in that __________.
A. They have a desire to save on the cost of trips.
B. They long to book the cheapest hotel.
C. Reverse tourism has become a trend in China.
D. They want to enjoy their relaxing break.
29. The underlined part “get off the beaten track” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by__________.
A. Start the old route B. Break the routine
C. Take easy paths D. Travel long distances
30. Which of the following statements cannot account for the rise of reverse tourism?
A. Tourists spend less than usual.
B. COVID-19 makes tourists more cautious.
C. It has already been commercialized.
D. Tourists can get a better sense of experience.
31. What is Jiang’s attitude towards reverse tourism according to the last two paragraphs?
A. Its development will be affected by Covid-19.
B. It has a better future than the camping economy.
C. Lesser-known resorts should try to develop further.
D. It forces popular destinations to improve themselves.
D
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst) recently announced that they have
figured out how to engineer a biofilm (生物膜) that harvests the energy in evaporation (蒸发) and changes it to
electricity. This biofilm, which was announced in Nature Communications, has the potential to revolutionize the world
of wearable electronics, powering everything from personal medical sensors to personal electronics.
“This is a very exciting technology, says Liu Xiaomeng, a graduate student in electrical and computer engineering
in UMass Amherst’s College of Engineering and the paper’s lead author. “It generates real green energy, and unlike
other so-called ‘green-energy’ sources, its production is totally green.”
That is because this biofilm—which is a sheet of bacterial cells and as thin as a sheet of paper—is produced
naturally by an engineered version of the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. G sulfurreducens is known to produce
electricity and has been used previously in “microbial batteries” to power electrical equipment. But such batteries require
that G sulfurreducens be properly cared for and fed a constant diet. By contrast, this new biofilm, which can supply as
much energy as a comparably sized battery, works continuously, because it is dead. And because it is dead, it doesn’t
need to be fed.
The secret behind this new biofilm is that it makes energy from the moisture (水分) on your skin. While we daily
read stories about solar power, at least 50% of the solar energy reaching the earth goes toward evaporating water. “This
is a huge, undiscovered source of energy,” says Yao Jun, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UMass
Amherst, and the paper’s one senior author. Since the surface of our skin is constantly moist with sweat, the biofilm can
“plug into” it and change the energy locked in evaporation into sufficient energy to power small equipment. “Our next
step is to increase the size of our film to power more intelligent wearable electronics,” says Yao, and Liu points out that
one of the goals is to power entire electronic systems, rather than single equipment.
32. Which of the following can biofilm do according to the first paragraph?
A. Update wearable electronics. B. Transform the way of generating electricity.
C. Supply energy to microbial batteries. D. Get power from evaporation.
33. What is the advantage of the biofilm compared with “microbial batteries”?
A. It is comparatively thinner. B. It decreases the cost in usage.
C. It adopts a rare energy source. D. It is environmentally friendly.
34. How does the biofilm power small devices?
A. By interacting with solar power.
B. By making electricity out of sweat.
C. By gaining energy from electronic system.
D. By employing water to generate electricity.
35. Which of the following best describes the biofilm?
A. Intelligent. B. Flexible. C. Delicate. D. Promising.

According to A Guide for Families by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, children,
preteens, and teens can lie for varying reasons. 36 Their upsetting situations could include failing a class, and
other struggles with things about themselves or fitting in with their peers.
37 This is not to say that lying is acceptable, but the less parents take it personally, the more they can
calmly and constructively help their child. Children and teens who fall into anxiety easily will use lying as an unhealthy
coping strategy.
What should a parent or caregiver do? Try to keep in mind that kids can be quite self-absorbed and they often don’t
understand how hurtful lies can be. With this in mind, here are a few tips to help promote truthfulness in your child at
any age.
38 If you overreact, then you are just building a barrier between you and your child. Calmly discuss or
lecture about honesty and dishonesty, and why they chose to lie. 39 Your understanding may not be able to
stop your teen from creating those everyday lies, but you can convey that there are other options available.
Keep in mind that addressing lying behaviours is a process not a quick fix. 40 But if you keep your own
emotion positively, your child or teen is more likely to eventually open up. While in the short term you may just get a
shrug, keeping yourself calm to create a sense of emotional safety will help your voice of truth and reason be heard
throughout their lives.
A. Get them to know that you understand them or their situations.
B. Try to seek some help from experts who understand them well.
C. Some kids may take a while before they feel safe to level with you.
D. When I coach parents, I help them learn not to take lies from their kids personally.
E. They try to avoid getting into trouble, or lie because they are too upset to talk about painful experiences.
F. Lying is not only harmful to kids themselves, but also it hurts people around them.
G. The best you can do as a parent is to keep yourself from overreacting to your child’s lies.
