Famous for its sunny beaches and natural wonders, Miyako Island welcomes many visitors during holidays.

Unique beaches

Yonaha Maehama Beach is the most famous beach in Miyakojima, where white sand stretches for seven

kilometers. Sunayama Beach, known for its arch-shaped rock, is tucked away in a small cove, and is accessed by

walking through a narrow tunnel of trees.

Diverse and colorful fish

Snorkeling is a must-try in Miyakojima. Dense coral reefs

schools of tropical fish, sea turtles and plenty

of space to free dive to depths of 8 to 15 meters close to the shore are standout features. For some green hands,

Aragusuku and Shigira are a good choice but advanced snorkelers may see Waiwal Beach and Shimojishima as

their ultimate spots.

Scuba diving

Miyako Island is a diving mecca, with a wealth of dive sites to explore, including many underwater caves and

caverns. Even those without a diving license need not be held hack. Dive shops and tour operators also offer tours

for beginners to explore Miyako Island’s abundant underwater environment.

Fresh island food

Delight your senses with juicy, melt-in-your-mouth Miyako beef, delicious Miyako soba(noodles served in

broth), or fresh fruit. Okinawa prefecture boasts the highest mango yield in Japan, and Miyako Island’s warm

subtropical climate is optimal for growing fresh, juicy mangoes.

Frederick Phiri, at just 22, started to earn an international reputation for being able to make complex and

elegant sculptures from scrap metal (金属废料) found in his community.

Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary school. Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay

with his grandfather. His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary

school, he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees. Yet even in school, he was always drawing and making things

in class.

After graduating, he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold

them to tourists. His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie, director of Project Luangwa, a

nonprofit dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.

“I introduced him to a local welder (焊工),” Beattie told Newsweek.

In 2017, Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season, helping to make a complex set of

doors for Project Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind “handed him a bunch of scrap metal and

said, ‘Make something with this.’ And he did. It was wonderful.”

Today, Phiri continues his art, using pieces of junk people bring him — keys, broken bike chains, old metal

plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around. He then turns the junk into abstract animals — elephants, cranes,

giraffes, chameleons — and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters. The community has recognized his

talents.

“My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living

from it,” Phiri said, “And then to make very large sculptures.”

4. What is Phiri known for?

A. Serving his community. B. Collecting works of art.

C. Being the king of Zambia. D. Turning trash into treasure.

5. What can we learn about Phiri from paragraph 2?

A. He had an unhappy childhood. B. He paid for his primary school.

C. He had to support his grandfather. D. He missed school to do part-time jobs.

6. How does Phiri feel about his future?

A. Uncertain. B. Confident. C. Depressed. D. Satisfied.

7. What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A Rough Road to Success B. The Junk Art King of Zambia

C. A Young Man’s Wildest Dream D. The Modern Junk Works of Art

Most people know social media isn’t free — it’s paid for with the collection of its users’ sometimes-sensitive

information. Your GPS system keeps track of your movements, and your smart TV can watch you. Almost all the

information these devices collect can be sold to companies or used by authorities to keep tabs or gather evidence.

Meanwhile, we use technology so frequently because of its efficiency and convenience. Is the trade-off worth it, or

are we selling our souls to the devil?

SafeHome.org Team surveyed 1,019 people aged 18 and older about their opinions on security and electronic

devices and whether they felt the risk to privacy was worth the security and convenience benefits. As it turns out,

some feel technology is far too convenient to give up despite its flaws, while others would trash their devices if

they found out it was spying on them.

Interestingly, three major factors appear to have an impact on which aspect of privacy violation they find most

shocking — age, gender and occupation.

Different generations have different relationships with technology and, as such, have different concerns about

privacy. Those 65 and older appeared to be very distrustful of technology, recording higher levels of concern than

younger generations in almost every field. Those aged 45 — 64 all found location tracking, home security, and

smart device privacy issues to be the most threatening. From age 18 to 44, the data trends looked rather similar. A

distrust of social media existed, but they regarded fitness trackers, and public surveillance (监视) as less of an issue

than older generations.

While men and women seemed to have the same concerns about privacy in the digital age, a few interesting

aspects existed. Women were more concerned overall with identity and location tracking. Men had concerns with

these issues as well but perhaps didn’t feel as physically threatened by them. The place where men took more issues

than women was the selling of personal data to advertisers and monitoring of conversations and activities.

8. What does the author intend to convey about social media in paragraph 1?

A. It comes at a price. B. It is of great value.

C. It has developed greatly. D. It brings convenience to life.

9. What did the survey of SafeHome.org Team focus on?

A. People’s attitudes towards privacy risks.

B. People’s opinions on technology benefits.

C. People’s responses to electric device flaws.
