Sharon Holland and her husband, Jer, are travelling around the world and saving money at the same

time by swapping (交换)houses with strangers to keep the bills low. They only have to pay for their

flights, meaning they save hundreds of pounds on their holidays each year.

The couple’s occupation allows them to enjoy long periods of school holidays. Both work as school

Deputy Principals, which allows them to take their children, Cian, 23, Miah, 13, and Faye, 11, abroad up

to four times per year. On average, they pay £1,250 per year for flights.

Sharon, from Cork, Ireland, has exchanged her home with a stranger 40 times in the last 13 years and

says she’s never regret. She said: “I couldn’t imagine travelling in any other way now. Swapping our Irish

Georgian farmhouse for another house abroad is amazing. There are home-style houses, modern city

apartments and beautiful architectural period houses too. Every holiday is different and staying in

someone else’s house makes our experience more rewarding and enjoyable. We are able to meet more

locals and understand the culture more than we would if we were to stay at a hotel. We bring our laptops

during the summer weeks as we are both responsible for timetabling and school planning but this can be

done at a distance”.

Sharon has visited various cities in America, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Netherlands,

the UK and their home country of Ireland. “But our favourite place is Italy. We have been lucky enough to

visit there six times. Over the years, every experience has been great—from the architecture to the food.

We have made some wonderful happy memories for less”, adds she.

4．Why do the couple travel by swapping houses with strangers?

Starting this fall, primary and middle school students in China will have at least one weekly course

on labor education, according to a new curriculum standard released by the Ministry of Education (MOE).

Labor education ranges from household chores to on-campus labor and community volunteer

services, generally 3 types according to the new standards: the first refers to everyday chores, including

cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and maintaining home appliances (家电); next is productive

labor, including agriculture, making traditional handicrafts (手工艺品), and applying new technologies

such as 3D printing; the third type is service work, including volunteer work. The new curriculum also

calls for a week of extra-curricular and off-campus activities designed for labor education once every

school year.

A recent study showed that primary and middle school students in China only spend an average of 12

minutes a day on chores, compared to 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in

France. Many countries start students’ labor education at a young age. Finland begins to develop students’

life skills in primary school. Spinning, woodworking, cooking and other craftsmanship classes are

offered. In Germany, pupils have two labor classes per week. Electronics, office technology, sewing,

housekeeping, and career guidance are all taught there.

Adding labor education was out of concern that the country’s youngsters do too little housework and

look down on manual labor (体力劳动) jobs. Due to great academic pressure, schools tend to put their

academic curricula on the top, and parents sometimes see household chores as distractions. But, according

to the MOE, labor education must be strengthened to help students develop social values, an interest in

labor and finally an all-around development.

8．What is the purpose of adding labor education?

A．To enrich the students’ off-campus life.

B．To improve the students’ performance on learning.

C．To follow the education mode of some western countries.

D．To help students achieve an all-around development.

9．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The history of labor education. B．The future development of labor education.

C．The significance of labor education. D．The content of labor education.

10．What does labor education in Finland and Germany have in common?

A．There are a wide variety of labor education courses.

B．They start labor education in the middle school.

C．It is viewed more important than academic learning.

D．Students spend more than 30 minutes on housework daily.

11．What do we know about labor education in China?

A．A week of extracurricular activities is a must every term.

B．The school has to recognize the importance of labor education.

C．Specially-designed courses have been applied for many years.

D．Students decide whether to take the courses on their own.

For people suffering from depression (抑郁), there’s an all-natural treatment they should use—

getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research

shows.

For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with

related genes (基因) were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them.

But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family

history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic

risk of depression.

Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced

risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经

历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to

depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in

individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional

minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future

depression episodes.”

Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected.

“Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as

many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings

to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.

12．How did the researchers reach their conclusion?

A．By conducting genetic research. B．By analyzing a mass of data.

C．By comparing various levels of activity. D．By tracking the subjects for many years.

13．What does the study show about depression?

A．Exercise may decrease and prevent it.

B．Physical activity betters medical treatment

C．Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same.

D．Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment.

14．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Simple. B．Complex. C．Common. D．Usual

15．What is the purpose of the text?

A．To discuss a disease. B．To explain a phenomenon.

C．To analyze a genetic risk. D．To introduce a scientific study.
