(2020·长沙市高中毕业班模拟)A European gym and fitness provider is offering customers a delicious deal at their new café: work out and get a free meal.
At the Run for Your Bun Café in London, David Lloyd Clubs is advertising its new activity as the first of its kind in the world. According to its advertisement, potential customers just need to book a lunch reservation, then complete a six-minute workout consisting of intervals on the rowing machine and spin bike. After exercising, people can order one of four tasty, healthy options on the café’s menu for free.
The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday. “According to our research British office workers spend almost 90 percent of the working day sitting, being inactive and eating lunch at their desks—a problem worsened by the huge popularity and convenience of food and shopping delivery apps,” Elaine Denton, a health and fitness expert from David Lloyd Clubs, said in a statement. “We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”
She added, “Importantly, the café isn’t in any way about encouraging people to ‘cancel out’ calories through exercise. Indeed, the micro workout at Run for Your Bun Café only represents a part of the calories contained in any of the lunch foods.”
Though the deal is only open to Londoners from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13, the model is one that is likely to inspire lots of copycats(仿照者) around the globe. Interested parties can head to 3 Slingsby Place, London from 12 p.m.to 3 p.m.until Friday.

I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots,my beautiful favorite,for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing,looking nothing like skyscrapers,bullet trains,cars,and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually,I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle,the warmhearted people,and getting home at 2:30 p.m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.

(2020·淄博模拟)When Columbus “sailed the ocean blue in 1492” he wasn’t looking for America.He was searching for a route from Spain to China;America just got in the way.
The Spanish were after the riches of Asia:silk,dates,spices.Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East,trade with China depended on the Silk Road.The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth,so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East.Eventually a way appeared;as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards,the overland route diminished.
Now China is seeking to revive(复兴) the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new roads,rail links,oil pipelines and other basic facilities.It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea.
But the plan is also to attract more tourists.Actually,China does pretty well for tourists already;it’s the world’s fourth most visited country.Two cities—Beijing and Shanghai—possess the tourism business,with significant interest in destinations such as Xi’an and Chengdu.While Beijing is modern,cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China.
Other places featured include Xi’an,the former capital of China,where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China’s first emperor in the afterlife.From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan,China’s western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.

(2020·成都高中毕业班诊断检测)Isabel has turned down two job offers in the past year. The first job she considered was the director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location.
Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm’s culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the company’s CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of moralebuilding exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same.“Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn’t do that,” Isabel says. She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didn’t feel there was a cultural fit.
A few months later, she had an interview for another job:a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives:it provided a lowstress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employeefriendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down.“ It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night,” she says.
In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn’t taking the jobs.“In the past, it felt like dating, and I was worried about hurting people’s feelings,” she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.
