The Giant’s Causeway
Located on the northern coast of Ireland, the Giant’s Causeway is a natural phenomenon that consists of

When Yuan Qiu received his admission letter from Southwestern University, he smiled broadly from the
wheelchair he’s used for five years. Then he turned to his mother, Xie Xianlian, and saw she quickly wiped tears
away, pretending her eyes were blurred by sand.
The 18-year-old young man is from a poor, rural family in Chongqing. His father died of lung cancer when he
was a child. Yuan was diagnosed with progressive muscular dystrophy（肌肉萎缩症）when he was three years old.
His older brother, who was paralyzed（瘫痪）, died of the same disease at the age of 22. After long-term medication,
Yuan decided to stop taking the medicine due to its high cost and there was no sign his health was getting better. The
condition worsened as Yuan grew older. He could only walk slowly on flat ground and relied on others to carry him up
and down stairs. When he was 14 years old, he could no longer stand up and had to use a wheelchair.
At first, his mother hesitated between continuing Yuan’s education and saving money for treatment. But Yuan
was determined.“I must go to school or I will be absolutely useless,”he said. So Xie made a promise to herself:“I will
never let my son drop out.”To her relief, Yuan was always willing to help her with farm work as much as he could.
Yuan and his mother’s perseverance moved many people and also won the support of his teachers and classmates.“He
never asked for more because of his disability,”one of Yuan’s teachers said,“His strong characteristics unconsciously
encouraged me and the students.”Yuan’s stepfather also changed his attitude after seeing Yuan’s persistence and
aspiration to study and gain knowledge.“I never complain to him, it is a loss that they didn’t get the chance to
read,”Yuan said.
Through his own efforts, Yuan scored 670 in the college entrance exam. The Southwestern University said they
will arrange a job for Xie, so she can better take care of her son while he is at university.

Overlooking the Biblioteca degli Alberi is Milan’s “Vertical（垂 直 的）Forest”: two residential tower blocks
built in 2014 that are covered in 800 trees, 4,500 shrubs and 15,000 plants. If this forest was planted on the ground, it
would cover 20,000 m2 — the size of three and a half football fields.
Each year the trees will absorb 10,000 tons of CO2 and 57 tons of pollutants. They should also produce about
900 tons of oxygen. Boeri’s team of architects says the plants will also decrease the average air temperature, create
noise barriers and boost biodiversity by creating a habitat for birds, insects and small animals.
It is not just physical wellbeing that is aided by large green structures in our cities. The team behind Sydney’s
100m high“vertical garden”claims it is a new form of“living architecture”that reminds us of“the restorative impact
that nature has on our souls”. Just how restorative living near trees and plants is for our souls is open to debate; but
studies in Germany have suggested that it can be extremely beneficial for our brains.
Scientists examined brain image sequences（顺 序）of 341 elderly residents of Berlin, focusing particularly on
the amygdala — the part of the brain that controls our fear responses and is responsible for stress and anxiety
disorders. They found that there was strong connection between residents living within 1km of the forests on the edge
of the city and those with the healthiest amygdala. A healthy amygdala means being less likely to suffer from the
stress and anxiety disorders controlled by this part of the brain. Mood and anxiety disorders are up to 56% higher in
urban environments when compared to rural locations.
With two-thirds of the world’s population predicted to be living in cities by 2050, Milan’s Vertical Forest might
show the world a way to create healthier, happier urban spaces.
8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The area of the city forest.
B. The way of building city forest.
C. The positive influence on the city forest.
D. The expected effect of the city forest.
9. What is the author’s attitude towards the Vertical Forest?
A. Favorable. B. Suspicious. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
10. Studies in Germany show that .
A. amygdala controls our fear responses
