UNESCO’s World Heritage List has been updated for 2024, and Europe’s newest listings, some of Europe’s

lesser-known yet culturally significant sites, are well worth exploring.

Via Appia, Italy

Also known as “the Queen of roads”, this 500-mile stretch is the oldest Roman road. It connects the Italian

capital to Southern Italy’s seaports and speeds the growth and development of new settlements while driving

agricultural production and trade. Journeying up this road is a transportation through time, with the original paving

stones reminding us of Italy’s old times.

Schwerin Residence Ensemble (建筑群), Germany

A picture-perfect image of traditional German architecture surrounded by Lake Schwerin, this cultural

ensemble comprises 38 of Schwerin’s most striking landscapes and architecture. The architecture of Schwerin

captures the essence of 19th-century Germany with its public gardens and cultural buildings tied together by the

grand Schwerin Castle.

The Flow Country, Scotland

In Scotland lies one of the world’s most untouched blanket bog (沼泽) landscapes. With around 500,000 acres

of bog pools and ancient plants, The Flow Country is one of the world’s biggest carbon stores, crucial in the fight

against climate change. On foot is how you can experience the dramatic views of this lesser-known landscape and

diverse wildlife species closely.

Moravian Church Settlements, Germany and UK

Gracehill was a village in Northern Ireland founded by the Moravians in 1759. Guided tours of Gracehill Old

School and the Moravian Church offer visual insights into traditional, Moravian architecture. In Germany, the

living Moravian heritage can be felt in the museums and church halls of Herrnhut, the birthplace of the Moravian

Church.

Hearing the speeding cars passing us, I had to focus on the sound of my uncle’s bicycle leading the way. At

thirty, with my retinas (视网膜) dying from an eye disease, driving a car was impossible and I couldn’t give up the

freedom of riding my bike.

Uncle Fred pedalled steadily. I biked a few inches behind. He shouted directions at each intersection.

Suddenly, his voice rose with urgency, “Carol, stop! A car is turning.”

When we reached our destination, my shoulders ached from the ride. As I sat next to Uncle Fred, he cleared

his throat and said, “Carol, did you think about getting a trained Seeing Eye dog? It can give you independence.”

He knew I was afraid of dogs. Words stuck in my throat. But his voice cracked and planted the seed of an idea. My

world shrunk as my blindness grew worse. Luckily, I had a good sense of direction, allowing me to visualize

neighborhood routes. This skill could be an advantage when working with a dog.

After calculating, I finally called the guide dog school. The admission application arrived, but I still wasn’t

sure. One day, I phoned my friend Robert, a longtime guide dog user in my town. He shared his positive

experiences. Somehow, his words convinced me to give it a try.

During the training, the dog trainer’s coaching and each successful walk with the dogs built my confidence. As

my guide dog Misty and I bonded, my shoulders relaxed. When I returned home, Uncle Fred was the first to meet

Misty. Misty sat at our feet waving her tail. She must have picked up on the positive energy that circled us like a

hug. Misty drove away my anxiety as I slowly opened my heart to her. Just as Uncle Fred had predicted,

overcoming my fear gave me the opportunity for more independence. My new confidence came from using a guide

dog, allowing me to walk tall. Uncle Fred’s advice moved my sense of joy from my bike to my dog.

7. What change did Misty bring to the author?

A. She became confident about fighting the illness.

B. She became more attached to her uncle for help.

C. She gained her independence with Misty’s help.

D. She formed her community of guide dog trainers.

In surveys over the past couple of years, Gallup researchers have found only about a third of U. S. workers

feel engaged with their jobs. It’s a concern for companies and the economy. Fortunately, researchers have identified

a simple solution: Recognize your employees’ achievements.

Across a number of industries, employees having high-quality recognition on the job were 45% less likely to

have left that job between 2022 and 2024. “Imagine how demoralizing it would be if you’re doing things at work

that nobody sees and you feel like nobody cares about,’’ says Martin, senior director at Workhuman, which tracked

the career paths of more than 3,400 workers over two years.

When it comes to recognition, people feel less lonely when their contributions are praised, which in turn keeps

them from seeking work elsewhere. The survey asked respondents if they felt stressed the previous day. Those who

said they felt recognized on the job reported lower levels of stress than those who said they were not.

Another finding emerging from the surveys is that high-quality feedback can fuel professional development.

That was Andy Hernandez’s experience. He was working in car financing in Greenville, trying to figure out how to

get ahead, when he decided to learn Excel to use it at work. He began pitching ideas using his newly acquired

skills. Managers liked what he was doing and told him as much. “It motivates me to know that all this extra stuff

I’m doing gets recognized; it’s also helping me show that I, m ready for the next step,” he says. He rose through the

ranks, eventually becoming a team leader. He says he looked for opportunities to show appreciation for his team.

There are generational differences when it comes to the desire for feedback, Gallup found in 2024. Younger

workers, who feel less attached to their workplaces than their parents, have a higher expectation of appreciation.

Fortunately for them, company leaders are also increasingly recognizing the importance of praise in the workplace.

In 2024, Workhuman found 42% of senior leaders reporting their organizations value employee recognition, up

from 28% in 2022.

8. What did Gallup researchers reveal about U. S. workers?

A. They give positive work feedback.

B. They desire high income for their work.

C. They feel less devoted to their work.

D. They’re concerned about U. S. economy.

9. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Discouraging. B. Inspiring. C. Misleading. D. Entertaining.

10. What benefit did learning Excel bring to Andy?

A. It made him judge his team in a positive way. B. He welcomed each suggestion objectively.

C. It enabled him to be put in charge of a firm. D. He was recognized and motivated to go on.

11. What did Gallup find about generational differences?

A. Young leaders are less likely to praise their workers.
