Before moving to Stokholm, I did my research on Sweden and was confident about my move. However, I quickly realized on my first day that so much of what I learnedwas so very wrong. There are many things that a Google search cannot show about Sweden.
The first is fika. A fika is taking a break from whatever you are doing to enjoy a coffee with friends. Swedes value community highly so it makes sense that they would like to set aside time each day to reconnect with others. Fika is a great time to meet new people as well as catch up with friends.
I grew up in the American South where everyone is very friendly. I found that little things like not being asked my life story at the coffee shop by the waiter upset me. However, Swedish people are not rude. Instead, they practice being logom, which means “just enough”.
The winters can be very dark and cold, so the Swedish people do not take any sunny day for granted. Since the weather has been fine, I have found myself walking a lot around Stockholm. Often it is easiest to get from place to place by walking, which allows you to see so much of the city and enjoy the fresh air. Though it has been very tiring to get used to, it also has made me feel better about all of the kardemummabullar that I have been eating!
I think it is important for students who want to study abroad to know that it is hard to move to countries no matter how “similar” you may think they may be. You have to jump in with both feet and be patient with yourself as well as others. As long as you keep an open mind and are willing to learn, you will have a great experience.
4. What do we know about fika?
A. It is a waste of time.
B. It is a way to balance life and work.
C. It is all about drinking coffee.
D. It is a Swedish social tradition.
5. What does the author think of Swedish people?
A. They are friendly.
B. They seem a bit cold.
C. They appear really rude.
D. They are interested in other's life.
6. Why does the author like walking?
A. It is fun and not very tiring.
B. It is good exercise on cold days.
C It allows her to enjoy sunny days. D. It gives her the chance to eat the local food.
7. What's the author's advice for students going abroad?
A. Be confident.
B. Be careful.
C. Be open- minded.
D. Be hard- working.
C
As is commonly known,Antarcticais an icy continent with extreme environment. However, a new study provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past.
The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment from under the seafloor off the coast ofAntarctica. In the sediment, they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90 million years old. At that period, dinosaurs were the ruler animals of the land.
Johann Klages, a German geologist, was the lead writer of a study on the findings, published in the journalNature. He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor. Klages said an examination showed that the material didn’t form in the ocean.
The researchers estimate that the area — about 900 kilometers from the South Pole — had average yearly temperatures of about12°Cto13°C. The soil included fine dirt particles and hard clay, as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants, the study found. Although no animal remains were found, Klages said there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles and many insects in the environment.
The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth experienced in the past — and is currently undergoing today. The soil in the sediment dates back to the planet’s warmest period of the past 140 million years, with sea level about 170 meters higher than today. The researchers said that the rainforest environment inAntarcticawas especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life. Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time, but seasonal snowfall was likely.
8. What can we learn about the sediment collected?
A. It formed in the age of dinosaurs.
B. It was found on theAntarcticaland.
C. Ancient forest material was found in it.
D. Some dinosaur remains were found in it.
9. How did the researchers reach their findings?
A. By analyzing the Earth sediment.
B. By exploring ice inAntarctica.
C. By collecting data on climate.
D. By researching special plants.
10. What can be indicated in the last paragraph?
A. Seasonal snowfall made the forest disappear.
B. Antarctica was much colder 140 million years ago.
C. Antarctica’s natural environment has changed greatly.
D. Polar nights inAntarcticaare getting shorter than before.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Rainforest disappeared fromAntarctica.
B. Antarctica had a different history of climate.
C. Researchers studied a piece of Earth sediment ofAntarctica.
D.Antarcticahad an extreme environment containing ice and snow.
D
The relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples ofthe Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.
The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees still growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years — evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal(木炭) found in the, soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.
To come to these conclusions the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soilfrom different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon- dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants— they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.
Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands of years. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from acollapse.
As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”
12. How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo?
A. They always destroyed the rainforest.
B. They had a side effect on the rainforest.
C. They never lived in the area of the forest.
D. They had been in harmony with the forest.
13. What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru?
A. The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.
B. The evidence of human influence on the forest.
C. The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.
D. The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.
14. What does the underlined word “collapse” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Sudden decrease.
B. Bad management.
C. Poor preservation.
D. Over development.
15. What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman's words?
A. Native peoples should protectthe rainforest.
B. We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.
C. More science research should be done on rainforest.
D We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.
