Constructed from 1406 to 1420, The Temple of Heaven is an imperial complex of religious buildings situated in the central area of Beijing. The Temple of Heaven was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998 and was described as a masterpiece of architecture and landscape design.

There are as many as 100,000 statues within the 2,345 caves. The area also has over sixty Buddhist pagodas.

27、Do you like to bury your head in a good book? Getting absorbed in a good story is a great way to relax. It improves your literacy, and, according to some experts, it’s good for your health as well. 【1】 But despite these benefits, does the way we consume a story make any difference?

For the purist, the only way to digest a good story is with a paperback or hardback book. Being in print, it’s possible to feel and even smell the book. And of course it’s very portable. 【2】 An “electronic” book enables you to store hundreds of virtual books in one place and allows you to download books directly.

The e-book has become popular in schools, too, and according to one school in London, it’s encouraged more children to read. 【3】

The recent lockdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic have certainly given us all time to read more, and in the UK at least, sales of physical books have risen strongly. 【4】 The publishing industry hopes this trend will continue now that people have got into the habit of reading more.

【5】 There are hugely ambitious productions using ensemble (整体；全体) casts, specially created soundscapes and technological advances. No matter what your reading preference is, there’s no doubt we are spoilt for choice in how we access a good story.

A．Last year, some 202 million paperbacks and hardbacks were sold.

B．Reading books does not rate highly among Britons as a leisure activity.

C．For adults, e-books are certainly a lightweight way of accessing our favourite literature on the move.

E．Research has shown that readers remember more information reading from paper books than e books.

F．But the traditional book has had a rival (竞争对手) in recent years from e books, which are read on e-readers or tablets.

G．Studies show that it can increase our emotional intelligence as we understand a range of perspectives and motivations.

28、   Bees are extremely important to our health and survival. As pollinators (授粉者), they are responsible for about a third of the food we eat. However, the bee population worldwide are on the decrease. 【1】.

Some bee species defend their hives (蜂巢) with large balls of heat

The body temperature of bees is typically similar to their surrounding environment. But within the hive, bees maintain a steady temperature of around 92—93 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Using their wings, bees can fan hot air out of the hive to cool an area. 【2】. When an enemy invades, together they will create a large ball around it to cook the invader alive.

Bees help farmers grow better food and keep food prices down

Bees are highly efficient pollinators. When bees are employed to pollinate, the quantity and quality of the crops improve surprisingly. As the climate continues to change, many animals will move to more favorable habitats. 【3】. With the reducing numbers of bees, the cost of over 130 fruit and vegetable plants that we rely on for food in is going up in price.

Policemen find murderers by studying bees

【4】. Similarly, criminals avoid committing crimes close to where they live, Police can make reasonable guesses about where a suspect might live or visit regularly.

29、We arrived at the hospital to find Dad was very weak, but his smile was as sure as ever. It was another attack of pneumonia (肺炎). My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday. Local relatives would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him. But I longed to be able to let him know that we cared too, even when we weren’t with him.

Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’ home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. They hid notes in the cereal (麦片) box, under a hairbrush, next to the phone or even in the microwave oven (微波炉). For days, their grandparents would smile as they discovered these signs of our love.

So as I tidied Dad’s kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, I wrote some notes. Some were practical, “Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn’t spoil.” Some expressed my love, “Dad, I hope you will sleep well in your new bed.” Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks until he recovered strength, but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow, “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”

Just like his medicines strengthened him physically, these “emotional vitamins” would improve his spiritual health. Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, I asked Dad how he was doing. He said, “Pretty good. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!”
