21、For many foreigners, finding new friends can case the often overwhelming task of adjusting to a new life abroad. The following countries can definitely feel more welcoming than others.

Uganda

This East African country received the highest marks for friendliness. According to the InterNations report, 57% of foreigners in Uganda gave ‘general friendliness’ the best possible rating (the global average was 26%). Not only that, not a single respondent ranked this factor negatively. Uganda isn’t without its problems, however, including the occasional power failure, and pollution from old cars.

Costa Rica

The Central American country ranks high across all factors when it comes to how easily foreigners fit in. Almost nine out of 10 foreigners (89%) are pleased with the general friendliness of the population, and eight out of 10 (79%) feel at home, according to the survey.

“If you make an effort to understand and eagerly accept the Costa Rican culture, you are very much welcomed with open arms and considered a friend.”

Colombia

This South American hotspot feels like home fast, according to many foreigners.

“The Colombian people are eager to show their country in a positive light and are very receptive and hospitable towards newcomers,” said Anne. Colombia is one of the countries in the world with the lowest percentage of foreign-born residents.

Oman

As one of the sunniest countries in the world, Oman also has friendly residents who reflect the warm climate. A welcoming culture rooted in faith also leads to an openness with newcomers.

While the cost of living in Oman is growing more expensive, it was recently ranked by Mercer as one of the more affordable places to live in the Middle East.

22、   Danez Smith, one of America's most popular young poets and the author of Don't Call Us Dead, recommends his 5 favorite books.

Lilith's Brood  by Octavia E. Butler (1989)

This book about aliens from the novelist who predicted "Make America Great Again" asks necessary questions about the harmful structures which we put our faith in despite our intelligence, and also how or if we will evolve out of our most dangerous selves. An essential, human book — with aliens!

The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton (2012)

The book is my bible. Open up to any page and Clifton delivers a word. Whether the subject is roaches, family, death, or surviving, she has a poem for all occasions. She can create the most complicated magic out of the simplest words.

Man vs. Sky  by Corey Zeller (2013)

In his brief prose poems, Zeller represents the voice of a recently dead friend as he travels through the afterlife. Besides attracting me with its beauty to this day, it taught me that we can offer the dead not just our grief but our imaginations and dreams as well.

My Hero Academia  by Kohei Horikoshi (2014)

I'm a sucker for high school drama, superpowers, good-hearted heroes, and complicated bad characters. This manga（动漫）series is one of my favorite escapes. In a world where everybody and their mama has a superpower (literally), what makes someone a hero isn't about power or strength but about the desire to make people smile. Instant tears.

Deus Ex Nigrum  by Jasmine Reid (2019)

I recently picked this chapbook for a prize. It's a marvel of language and heart. Reid's lyrics map the ordinary and the extraordinary with rare and invigorating skill. In a world and a country ever dangerous to the black people, this poet says, "If I am to be a twist ending, let it be that I lived." I am so excited to follow Reid's poems into the future.

【1】Which author describes people from other planets?

A.Octavia E. Butler. B.Kohei Horikoshi.

C.Jasmine Reid. D.Corey Zeller.

【2】In which book can we find something about racial justice?

A.Lilith's Brood. B.My Hero Academia.

C.Man vs. Sky. D.Deus Ex Nigrum.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A.Corey Zeller's recently dead friend has the superpower to make dreams come true.

B.In a world where everyone has superpower, people have a desire to smile.

C.Clifton makes full use of simple words.

D.My Hero Academia has won National Book Award

23、It shouldn’t come as news to anyone that the planet is moving quickly towards a climate emergency. And fast fashion certainly plays its part in this.

Fast fashion brands, which release hundreds of new styles every week, have caused trends cycles to speed up rapidly, leading to overproduction and overconsumption. British shoppers are buying twice as much as we did a decade ago and both brands and consumers are throwing away “unfashionable” clothing more often—over £300,000 of it ends up in landfill every year. How do we solve this issue?

One answer lies in the new generation of made-to-order brands making their way into the mainstream. These brands make clothes only as and when they’re ordered, and because there’s no overproduction, less unwanted stock ends up in landfills. They also promote a slower fashion model, with pieces taking between three weeks and three months to arrive once purchased. The focus is on creating special, well-made pieces for consumers to treasure for years to come.

Made-to-order fashion is nothing new. Until the mid-20th century, it was the norm. However, the 1960s brought about the dawn of fast fashion and a shift in our relationship with our clothes. The value once placed on craftsmanship and quality was replaced by the desire for low cost and volume, resulting in cut-cost production and the attitude that clothing should be cheap and disposable.

Of course, made-to-order fashion has continued to exist alongside this, though research clearly shows that fast fashion prevails (盛行). Cue a made-to-order brand bringing bespoke (定制) back to the mainstream. Spanish brand Alas features a slow business model. It takes orders each week which are then handmade and delivered in about three weeks. It also revolves around an on-demand production process that rewards consumers for “pre-planned responsible shopping.” Every week, they launch a new drop, available to pre-order for a discounted rate for a limited time. From pre-order, Alas determines how popular each new item is and calculates how many units should be produced to fulfill both pre-orders and future full-price orders, therefore reducing the overproduction of stock.

With made-to-order brands growing in popularity, it begs the question—could this be the dawn of a new, environmentally responsible era? The answer is self-evident.

【1】What do the first two paragraphs mainly show?

A．Our strong desire for fashion.

B．The fast development of fashion industry.

C．The urgent need for a different fashion model.

D．The advantages and disadvantages of fast fashion.

【2】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．The shadow of fast fashion.

B．The value placed on quality.

C．The shift towards a green lifestyle.

D．The criticism for cheapness and quantity.

【3】What does the example of Spanish brand Alas tell us?

A．The reward mechanism is a must in slow fashion.

B．It takes patience and thought to buy made-to-order items.

C．The pre-order model reduces the cost of purchasing brands.

D．Consumers have a say about how their orders are produced.

【4】As for the future of made-to-order fashion, the author is ________ .

A．anxious

B．confident

C．puzzled

D．curious

24、Stay in style: Europe’s 4 best new design hotels

Casa Cook Samos, Greece

The laid-back island of Samos, birthplace of Pythagoras and, in legend, of the goddess Hera, is the heavenly location for the fourth hotel from Casa Cook. Its low-cost, high-style pads in Greece and Egypt are perfect for the Insta generation. It’s relaxed here, with a yoga salon, a wellness centre, six swimming pools and terraces dotted with earthy-toned daybeds — all set among wild olive trees, agave, pines and palms, echoing the verdant landscapes of this hilly Aegean island.

Doubles from €148 a night, casacook.com

MOB House, Paris, France

This hotel has come up with a new formula — “3-in-1” rooms, incorporating bed, office and meeting room. But even those not “workationing” will find this a fun stay, especially when the organic beerhouse, gym, large garden and 20-metre outdoor pool are taken into account. Trendsetting rooms, painted in sandy and mossy colours, are typical of the team behind the hotel, which includes designer Philippe Starck and Cyril Aouizerate.

Doubles from €200 B&B, mobhouse.com

Hôtel de Cambis, Avignon, France

With an extremely well-stocked wine bar and an “artistic concept based on wine and the French art of living”, the freshly uncorked Hôtel de Cambis is one for wine lovers. It may have the exterior of a grande dame, but inside, the rooms — categorized as millésime, premier cru or grand cru.

Doubles from €130 B&B, hoteldecambis.com

The Baro, southern Finland

Black timber cabins with picture windows are raised on stilts in a pine forest overlooking the sea at this pared-back retreat in the Inkoo region. Guests can explore several large islands, offering beaches, galleries and smart cafes, or just hang out in the black wooden sauna on the beach, go mushroom picking or borrow kayaks.
