A
One trend that has skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic
is that many homebuyers have chosen to move to luxury escapes—swapping
their inner-city setup for a home office near the water or the bush. Here we’ve
gathered four of our favourite properties on the market right now.
Sunshine Bay
If the sounds of the ocean have been beckoning ( 召唤), then look no further
than 8 Beechwood Court, located on Sunshine Cove Beach with fantastic ocean
views from almost every bedroom. It has been listed on Airbnb, a website to help
travellers find a homestay, so home owners will have the option of using it as an
additional income source.
Price guide: $2.6 million-$2.8 million
Agent: Blackshaw Coastal, Pat Jameson 0405 442 905
Murrumbateman
Delivering contemporary country charm of the Hamptons, this home will make
you feel like you’re on a coastal holiday, but on a farm. The home is only a few
minutes’ walk to the nearest woodlands and village cafe and a 35-minute drive to
the capital.

Jindabyne
This newly built home is located in the ever-growing Highview Estate in

walking alongside the water these holidays.

Architecture is amazing. It has changed the way I look and interact with the world
and my environment. It has trained me to be hyper-sensitive (
过度敏感
) to the
built environment, to recognize problems and find solutions that an untrained eye
would never notice.
As much as I love this profession, it is very easy to get lost in architecture. I get
so focused that I have forgotten about everything else. Luckily my passion for cycling
kept me sane (
清醒的
) while I was becoming an architect. I faced a lot of obstacles
and challenges taking a bicycle ride across the United States. Looking back, cycling
across the America was actually one of the smartest things I ever did.
I have actually bicycled across the continental USA twice; East to west. Atlantic
Ocean to Pacific Ocean, both times. Bicycling across America isn
’
t as hard as you
think.
I rode alone on my first trip in 2005 from Virginia Beach to the coast of Florence,
Oregon. In the end it was 4,547 miles over the course of 77 days.
I left for the second trip in 2007 with my two best friends from Bar Harbor,
Maine to Portland, Oregon, which was a 4,886 mile ride over 90 days. At that time, I
fell in love with the idea of leaving the east coast behind, starting a whole new life
and career in a new city. I ended up in Portland. After arriving in town on a bike, I
eventually found a job, a place to live and an amazing dog.
I share all this not to convince anyone to go biking across America, but only to
share how doing this has changed my life. Architecture has given me a wonderful life
and career but it isn
’
t everything. Thankfully I have also been very passionate about:
my friends,traveling, bicycles ,punk rock, technology, the internet, my dog, and even
yoga. My architecture background has definitely sweetened my relationship with all
those things.
Becoming an architect is a noble pursuit, but you should keep pursuing
everything else that you are passionate about. It will enhance your architecture career
and ultimately make you a more interesting person, which in my opinion is really
more important than being another silly architect.
24. What
’
s the advantage of cycling according to the author?
A. Changing his negative attitude to architecture. B. Keeping himself
focused on his career all the time.
C. Enabling him to find solutions without training. D. Making him a much
4
better architect and person.
25. What does the author think of his two cross-country bike trips?
A. They are harder than what he expected before. B. They show the
benefits of riding with friends.
C. They give him some extraordinary experiences. D. They guarantee him a
new life and career in Portland.
26. What can be inferred from Paragraph 6?
A. Don
’
t get completely lost in your hobbies. B. Don
’
t abandon
hobbies for your profession.
C. Don
’
t feel ashamed of stopping your hobbies. D. Don
’
t weigh your
family against your profession.
27. In the last paragraph, the author reminds us to ________.
A. take up the pursuit of becoming an architect B. find what we are
really passionate about
C. appreciate other people
’
s good intentions D. avoid our career
taking over other pursuits
C
A human heart is so much more than an organ. No one says they left their
pancreas (
胰
腺
) in San Francisco, for example, or that two kidneys (
肾脏
) beat as
one. Yet most of us believe that two hearts can beat as one, and that the heart reveals
our real emotions. Now there’s some evidence that such
folk wisdom
is true.
When people listen to the same story
—
each alone in their own home
—
their heart
rates rise and fall together, according to a new study published last month in Cell
sor Lucas Perra, a senior author of the study, said,
“
It’s the story that
drives the heart.
”
This finding corresponds with a mountain of research showing that our brains
synchronize (
同步
) when we interact in the same location or participate in the same
activity. The new study goes one step further; it tests whether our heart rates become
synchronized while taking in the same narrative
—
even though we
’
re not in the same
room nor even listening at the same time as other listeners.
Marcel Proust wrote at the turn of the 20th century,
“
the heart does not lie.
”
Data tells us much the same: The heart
’
s connection to the brain is so tight that when
we hear the same story, our heart rates synchronize. Subjects in the same group
produced synchronized heart rate patterns that rose and fell at roughly the same times
during the narrative.
The results are
“
heartwarming,
”
said .
“
Heart rat correlation (
关联
)
between subjects does not require them to actually be interacting, or even be in the
same place. It’s not the interaction between people but the story itself that does the
trick.
”
The point, he said, is that when we listen to the same radio program or watch a
Netflix show, our hearts beat together, showing that
“
we
’
re not alone.
”

28. What does the underlined expression
“
folk wisdom
”
refer to in the first
paragraph?
A. Kidneys beat like hearts. B. Hearts are important organs.
C. A human heart conveys feelings. D. Organs have close links with
emotions.
29. What can we learn from the new study in Cell Reports?
A. People like listening to the same story in separate places.
B. Human’s brains synchronize when driven by different stories.
C. People tested in the same group have the same heart rates.
D. The same story can make listeners have the same heart rates.
30. What
’
s the author
’
s purpose of writing this article?
A. To report a research finding. B. To argue against an
opinion.
C. To tell readers a moving story. D. To call for immediate
action.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Way Human Hearts Work B. The Same Story, the Same
Heartbeat
C. The Heart
’
s Connection to Brain D. The Importance of Heart
Rates
D
Star Wars fans would be familiar with the good relationship between humans and
droids (
机器人
) in the movies. In the movie Solo: A Star Wars Story,
LandoCalrissian risked his life to rescue his co-pilot, a female droid L3-37. In real life,
a humanoid robot, Sophia, has recently been granted (
给予
) citizenship in Saudi
Arabia. Increasingly, people are ready to see robots as resembling humans. Given this
phenomenon, I believ it is necessary to consider giving robots certain rights humans
enjoy.
Experts have argued that since robots have now acquired human-like qualities, it
is appropriate to consider if they should have rights just as humans. Sophia has a
human like face and utilizes artificial intelligence to respond to speech and express
emotions. For such a lifelike being that is potentially capable of expressing emotions,
does it not deserve the right to be loved and respected?
Robots should also be given legal and moral protection as harming a robot may
be similar to harming humans. Since people tend to form attachments to social
robots, it becomes possible for companies to control the hardware and software to
exploit this emotional attachment. There is a danger that data that is stored in the
robot could be uploaded to the cloud. There would then possibly be situations in
which the government or private sector retrieves (
检索数据
) the information stored in
a robotic toy or social robot. With these uncertainties, it is clear why robots should be
protected, just as humans.
