Special Food Places to Try In Singapore

It’s an unpleasant fact that local food places are usually meant to cater to meat-eaters. It can be difficult to find

a tasty food place that caters to meat-free diet. Here are some options to show you don’t need meat for a

satisfactory treat.

Vegan Burg

Vegan Burg has a surprisingly diverse range of plant-based burgers. From Hawaiian Teriyaki to Char-Grilled

Satay, the menu promises to tempt even the most hardcore meat lovers. And that’s not even getting into the add-ons

and sides it offers, such as mushroom fries and barbecue potatoes.

Woods Square Tower, #01-06, Singapore 737737

Genesis Restaurant

This eatery proves that meat-free dishes can be as hearty and flavorful as their meat-based counterparts.

Genesis Restaurant is especially known for its juicy dumplings, spring rolls, pork-free noodles and tofu cheesecake.

flavors such as Earl Grey Lavender,Rose Coconut and Gula Melaka.

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary

school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation

of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the

Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my

father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm

months, we spent hours playing catch. Come fall, our backyard football games began with passing practice.

Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the

Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for

points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, accelerating (加速) my competitive fever.

However, in girls’ sports games at my school, I was no star. I also played on the field hockey team and the

basketball team. School sports did not bleed into the weekends, as they do today, but at home, playing tennis,

skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During break time, magazines were also quite popular

for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up

the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my

marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.

So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness

focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is

the richest with my feet in both worlds.

4. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1?

A. responsibility B. panic C. shame D. desire

5. What did the author owe her victory in the Softball Throw event to?

A. Her advanced sports outfits. B. Her confidence in her sports ability.

C. The sports talent inherited from her father. D. The example and training offered by her father.

6. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood?

A. She generally exercised on weekends. B. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.

C. She preferred reading to exercising. D. She maintained her love for sports.

7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?

A. To describe how her father built her interest in sports.

B. To recall her childhood memories about sports.

C. To express her passion for sports and fitness.

D. To emphasize the benefits of physical exercise.

Society tells us we should socialise to the fullest, and that those who are surrounded by people are the most

successful and the happiest. These days, we’re almost always connected, whether in person or through our phone

screens and online social networks. But there’s something to be said for solitude( 独处 ), “Being alone doesn’t

necessarily mean being lonely”. In fact, spending time by yourself is an essential element of self-care.

Around the globe, different cultures have wide-ranging perspectives on what it means to spend time alone. If

you live or have spent time in the United States, you’re probably aware that Americans tend to reject solitude. For

many younger people, weekends are packed with social activities, ranging from brunch with friends to dinner

parties to game nights to drinking at bars and everything in between.

The United States isn’t the only place where you’ll find a heavy emphasis on social time. Across the Atlantic,

the United Kingdom is known for being an extremely extroverted(外向型的)country. A survey of Brits found that

more than half had never done and would be unwilling to do activities like going to theme parks or seeing live

music alone. Most Brits spend almost twice as much of their leisure time socialising with others as they do being

alone.

The home can be a place of rest, relaxation and recharge—that is, if you live by yourself or have the space to

be alone in your home. The country in which people are least likely to live alone is India, at about 4 percent of the

population. China is also quite fond of multiple-person households, with only about 10 percent of people living by

themselves. In more collectivist cultures like these, many aspects of life are related to community. Thus, spending
