December is made for shoppers. It's also good for travels. Here are some best places that you can plan to visit this December.
Cubbio
Travelers to Gubhio in Italy's Umbria region will find the largest Christmas tree in the world. The tree is 2, 130 feet tall, which came to life in 1981 when the residents of Gubbio decided they wanted to celebrate Christmas in a different way. The lights are turned on on December 7 and are turned off in early January.
Sydney
Travelers to Sydney need to keep their eyes on the sky if they're at Sydney Harbor on New Year's Eve. The annual celebration begins with an air show and is followed by boats spraying(喷洒)water into the air. Other activities include lighting up the harbor bridge and, of course, lots of fireworks that can be seen from various points around the city.
Vienna
Vienna in Austria turns into a fairyland at Christmas, as the city's prettiest square glow with lights and holiday green plants. The markets selling a variety of gifts, decorations and traditional snacks generally open around November 20th and close on Christmas Eve. Perhaps the oldest market is at the Old Viennese Christmas Market that first opened on Freyung in 1772.
New York
On New Year's Eve, more than a million people jam New York's Times Square for the annual celebration that includes live musical entertainment, balloons and sweets, waiting to see a huge ball made of Waterford crystal drop as the countdown(倒计时)to midnight begins. It reaches the bottom at midnight, which is a tradition that began in 1907. Then it's time for fireworks.

As the winner of six gold medals, cyclist Sir Chris Hoy is one of Britain's most successful Olympians. Now he has written a book to help young people achieve their own goals in life, called Be Amazing! An Inspiring Guide to Being Your Own Champion. The hook is packed with stories from his cycling career and the lessons he learned along the way. Speaking to The Week Junior, Hoy says the book's advice can apply to anything, whether it's sport, the arts or science.
When he was young, Hoy never thought he would have a career in cycling. "First of all, I wasn't that good at it," he says. He ever thought that successful people were just certain to be great and were different from everyone else. But after growing up, Hoy realized that wasn't true and he saw whatever can happen if you work hard at something you love. He won his first gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Greece in a time trial event. In this event, the cyclists took it in turns to see who could go the fastest round a track. Before Hoy's turn came, the world record had been broken three times. However, he focused on his own performance and won gold. Hoy said hearing his name followed by the words "Olympic champion" was truly magical.
If Hoy could give his younger self a piece of advice, it would be, "Not everyone can win a gold medal, so there has to be more than that. There has to be enjoyment and fun at the heart of everything."
24. What is Chris Hoy's main purpose of writing the book?
A. To get young people to buy it. B. To make the young learn how to cycle.
C. To help the young realize their dreams. D. To let young people know his sports career.
25. Which of the following is included in Chris Hoy's book?
A. His works of art. B. His cycling profession.
C. His educational theories. D. His academic achievements.
26. What are the secrets to success according to Chris Hoy?
A. Interest and effort. B. Technique and talent.
C. Warmth and strength. D. Energy and curiosity.
27. What can we infer about Chris Hoy?
A. He did well in cycling as a boy.
B. He has broken the world record three times.
C. He won his first Olympic gold medal in Australia.
D. He thinks the key to doing everything is pleasure.
C
Perhaps you have ever heard the saying: Change is the only constant. Everyone, without doubt, goes through changes in their life, whether it is a physical state of aging or a mental state of emotional maturity. However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start.
I have a friend named Jack. At the age of 37, he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four. He has a great salary, owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life, but not without the heavy burdens that his job brings. On the surface, it looks like he has got life figured out. Yet when I once asked if he was happy with his work, he answered that he sometimes wished to quit his job to do something less stressful. But he'd become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.
For him, the risks are too high, so whether he can't abide his present job or not, he has to choose to suck it up. You might have come to a similar situation as Jack's or you might be a Jack. You're now facing a wall. No matter what it is-the stress of your job or the terrible feeling, it's time that you had to decide whether you'll tear down that wall or continue to let it enclose you. I suggest pushing back the boundaries and breaking the fixed patterns. Why do, you feel it's too late to start over? That is simply because you're comparing yourself with others-younger or more successful individuals. In fact, you should compare yourself with the older version of you.
Don't become that person who lets life pass by only to regret it when you are making your way into old age. Don't let your life plateau(停滞不前)and waste away in the daily chores. Don't give up the potential you still have hidden and be locked away by your current state. Now, you'd better bravely start going after the things you want to do, without abandoning your dreams, ambitions and responsibilities.
28. What kind of people does Jack represent according to the author?
A. Those leading a happy life. B. Those having an easeful career.
C. Those thinking it's too late to change. D. Those having a high ambition to work.
29. What does the underlined word "abide" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Value. B. Recommend. C. Understand. D. Tolerate.
30. What does the author advise us not to do?
A. Let life stand still. B. Enjoy the present job.
C. Have a small goal in life. D. Consider ourselves as a failure.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Everyone Can Meet a Jack B. Don't Try to Control Yourself
C. Never Think Change Is Too Late D. You Should Make Alteration Earlier
D
Microplastics, the kind of current working definition, are plastic particles(颗粒)less than five millimeters. So people commonly think the microplastic to be something like a grain of rice or a sesame seed. Actually, most of the microplastics that people are interacting with are quite a bit smaller than the sesame seed size, so it always shocks people when they know about the number of microplastics because they can hardly see a lot of these things, at least with the naked eye.
Kieran Cox, a PhD candidate in marine(海洋的)biology at the University of Victoria, is one of the authors of the study, which is in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. For their study, Cox and his team pulled together past scientific literature that calculated the number of microplastics in things we commonly consume, such as in tap and bottled water, sugars, seafood-even in the air that we breathe. This analysis helped them figure out the baseline amount of microplastics that people are consuming every year. They couldn't include common foods like beef, vegetables and dairy in their analysis because the data on them doesn't exist yet. In fact, their study could account for only 15 percent of people's caloric intake. Even missing the majority of what people swallow, the research revealed that-at the very least-humans appear to consume somewhere between 74, 000 and 121, 000 microplastics every year. That number goes up for people drinking bottled water rather than tap water.
Now, is all the plastic safe to take in? Scientists don't know yet. This is like the first estimate of the dose which means an amount of a medicine that is taken once. So the amount is a very important factor to think about, but it is very difficult to estimate because it is what we don't know.
32. What do we know about the microplastic?
A. It's much bigger than a grain of rice. B. It's barely seen without an instrument.
C. It can be a kind of fish feed. D. It's harmless to humans.
33. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The study of microplastics people consume. B. The analysis of past scientific literature.
C. The amount of microplastics in food. D. The study of marine biology.
34. Which aspect should scientists focus on in further study according to the text?
A. Making plastics safe. B. The things people swallow.
C. The amount of bottled water. D. Finding the safe dose of microplastics.
35. What can we learn about the study?
A. It was about a new material. B. It was published in a journal.
C. Kieran Cox didn't finish it. D. Scientists did it by using marine life.

An online journalist generates news content for distribution over the Internet.
