Welcome to “Cash Poor Points Rich”, a new travel blog dedicated to sharing experiences with credit card
point s and miles to help you get big travel but for small spend. With the right planning and maximization of
available resources, traveling as a college student may be easier than you think.
Chengdu, China
If visiting a place with happy locals is a priority for you, there's no better city to hit than Chengdu. It is home
to pandas and spicy things. Moreover, the city's abundance of cultural and historical sights, together. with its laid-
back lifestyle, make itself one of the most attractive and livable large cities too. Past travelers have spent, on
average,¥ 158 on meals and about a quarter of that on local transportation for one day.
Con Dao, Victnam
Tourism is picking up in Vietna m lately, where you can travel for about ¥ 100 per day if you play your cards

uncover a paradise of your own.
Zakynthos, Greece
If you're looking for an affordable European summer beach vacation, consider Zakynthos. Food is cheap and
mouthwatering. There are plenty of free things to do, although the favorite is spending time on the beautiful
beaches edged by electric blue water. There are countless options for swimming in the appealing sea, along with
charming villages and museums to explore.

For a number of Indians who for over half a century have replayed a race again and again, Milkha Singh’s
400meters final run at the Rome Olympics should be among the greatest heartbreaks in global sporting history. In
fact, they hoped it would throw up a different result.
However, continued praise for the man decades later is due to the effort by India's greatest track athlete on
that September day in the Italian capital, though he still missed out on becoming India’s first Olympic track
medalist.
As he was growing up, he used to run barefoot daily on hot sand to school, which was situated 20kilometers
from his house. He thinks this was good training but knows it is not possible to ask children to do this today.
However, he does feel that the early identification of talented athletes is also important for India's athletic teams to
shine.
India has in the last few years judged success purely in terms of medals, but looking into the past reveals how
a more generous generation saluted Milkha as a pioneer. Milkha is India’s finest track athlete of all time. He
remains the only Indian male to win an individual Commonwealth Games athletics gold—he won the 400 meters
at Cardiff in 1958, the first athlete from independent India to do so.
Since retiring from athletics, the former champion athlete has set up the Milkha Singh Charitable Trust,
which helps poorer families survive if an athlete in their family has died. A percentage of the profits from the film
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag are going to his trust.
Finally, let's read a quote from Milkha himself: “There is no shortcut to success.” A scene in the film shows
Milkha Sing h running with injured feet—this actually happened. “I haven’t found an alternative to hard work.
You need to be patient, dedicated and true to yourself and your work.”
24. What has won Milkha Singh continued praise?
A. His early hard life experience. B. His outstanding athletic talent.
C. His status in global sports history. D. His effort in the Olympic final.
25. What does Milkha Sing h think of his early training?
A. Exciting. B. Unbearable. C. Beneficial. D. Useless.
26. What did Milkha Sing h do after his retirement?
A. He turned into a movie actor. B. He learned to do business.
C. He became an athletic trainer. D. He engaged in charity work.
27. What can we learn from Milkha Singh’s words?
A. Hard work leads to success. B. Do something different.
C. Medals measure everything. D. Stick to your dream.
C
Usain Bolt burned about 10kcal of energy to win his gold during the 200-metre sprint final at the Olympic
Games, which could roughly power an old 60W light bulb for 1 1 minutes. If you could make use of all the power
generated by all the athletes during the Games, you would still be nowhere close to reaching the 29.5 billion Watts
consumed overall by the athletes, spectators and organizers over the event. We take sport for granted, but do we
ever consider its cost to the planet?
From the water required to maintain the golf course during The Masters tournament to the hundreds of flights
it takes to bring football fans to a World Cup, major sports events are not helping much in the fight against global
heating. What's more, there is a lack of recognition within sport of its responsibilities and little discussion about
possible solutions.
This is strange given that the effect works both ways: the climate crisis is not just affected by sports, but it is
already having a negative impact on many sports. When ice-climber Will Gadd set out to conquer the world's
glaciers,
he didn't realize it would become a race against climate change. “I thought glaciers are there forever.” When
he arrived at the summit, Gad d was shocked: “The ice…wasn’t there. The things I planned to climb were gone.”
Global heating is noticeable in other sports. Amy Steel played professional net ball until she suffered from
heatstroke after playing in 39°C conditions and unfortunately, the damage was permanent. Not only that, but
extreme weather events made more frequent as a result of global heating mean sporting events are more often
delayed or cancelled. This has cost sport billions in potential earnings.
Yet sport can be a powerful motivator: it can unite whole nations behind its teams. Could sport have a role to
play in driving climate awareness? Will Gad d and Amy Steel are among many athletes who think so. One thing is
certain. Sport must put climate change at the top of its agenda and decarbonize at a Usain Bolt-like pace to make a
difference.
28. What is the main focus of the first paragraph?
A. The energy impact of sports events. B. Bolt's contribution to the environment.
C. The amount of power generated by athletes. D. The reason for energy consumption in sports.
29. Why does the writer use Will Gad d and Amy Steel as examples?
A. They initiated climate-conscious sports. B. They sustained permanent injuries in sports.
C. They fell victim to climate-related incidents. D. They achieved record-breaking performances.
30. What effect of global heating on sports is mentioned in the text?
A. Stricter facility restrictions. B. Substantial financial losses.
C. Higher athlete training standards. D. Prolonged outdoor sports seasons.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sports in the Climate Crisis B. Athletes against Global Heating
C. The Olympian Energy Dilemma D. The Environmental Cost of Outdoor Sports
D
Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college
science courses provide students with only a fragmented ( 碎片化的 ) understanding of fundamental scientific
concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to
the next without necessarily making connections between them, instead of learning how to use the information
