文章标题：Meet the‘digital nomads’who travel the world in search of fast Wi-Fi答案速查：36-40 DIFKB 41-45 HLEMJPieter Levels created a chat system to satisfy the need of digital nomads for information tourists normally don’t seek.D【定位】Levels noticed that there was a growing need to create an online infrastructure for people like himself. That's when he created#nomads... The channel allows users to ask people in their current city the types of practical questions that a tourist would unlikely need to ask.It is said that digital nomads do not enjoy as much freedom as most people suppose.I【定位】When you're a digital nomad, you don't actually have as much freedom as most people think you do.Different from tourists, digital nomads travel to foreign places with work to do.F【定位】But unlike a tourist, they don't arrive in a foreign city without any responsibilities... but neither is staying in one place.Digital nomads believe their lifestyle enables them to broaden their vision and do a better job.K【定位】But nomads like Adams say that while they are aware of this privilege, they believe living this way elevates what they're able to offer, by giving them a broader perspective on what they're building, writing, or designing and expanding their world viewThe first thing a typical traveller possibly does after arriving at a city is search for information online about its popular tourist attractions.B【定位】When the average traveller lands in a city like Bangkok, Berlin, or Buenos Aires, their first step might be to drop their bags at their hotel and to log on to TripAdvisor to find out the hours of a popular tourist attraction...One digital nomad thinks their life in foreign cities has its disadvantages.H【定位】Though Adams frequently posts pictures on Instagram of his enviable cooking adventures from Seoul to Bangkok, he says nomad life in foreign cities has its downsides, including finding adequate Wi-Fi for the bandwidth-hungry work his livelihood depends on.Travelling around helps to keep digital nomads inspired.L【定位】 “Being able to travel and get around makes it easy to stay inspired,”he added.The number of self-employed remote workers living a digital nomad’s life is fast increasing.E【定位】But thanks to the growing prevalence of freelance (自由职业的) livelihoods, a global sharing economy and numerous digital tools, the number of people who are able to live this life is growing quickly.Pieter Levels says his life as a nomad has transformed not only his idea of citizenship, but also his choice of companions.M【定位】Levels says that the nomad life has not only changed his notions of citizenship, but the people he chooses to spend time with as well.Interactions with local people and institutions provide nomads with far more cultural information than a visit to the national museum.J【定位】However inconvenient, a trip to a local doctor, immigration office or laundry - or a conflict with a local Airbnb host (the accommodation style of choice for most nomads)–can be far more culturally instructive than a trip to the national museum.

Deep Understanding of Traditional Chinese Culture Cultivates Cultural Confidence
Faced with growing globalization, students realize that a deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture helps cultivate cultural confidence. A telling example is Tu Youyou, whose groundbreaking discovery of artemisinin, inspired by ancient Chinese medical texts, has saved millions of lives and brought traditional Chinese medicine to the global stage. Her success shows that knowing our own cultural heritage can make us believe more in its worth.Why is a profound understanding of traditional Chinese culture so essential for cultivating cultural confidence? The reasons are quite simple. Firstly, without accurate knowledge of our own culture, it would be difficult to appreciate its true wisdom and beauty. Secondly, a deep understanding of traditional culture not only enables us to take pride in our roots, but also helps us share authentic stories with the world, laying a solid foundation for cultural confidence. Moreover, when young students master calligraphy or classical poetry, they naturally develop a stronger sense of identity and self-assurance.Accordingly, we, the young adults, should actively study traditional Chinese culture by reading classics and engaging with heritage sites. Moreover, it is a wise choice to use social media to introduce Chinese festivals and arts, so that our cultural confidence can grow and inspire more people worldwide.

文章题目：How do you bring a forest back to life?答案速查：36-40 FJGMD 41-45 LCHKBLand Life Company's efforts fit into the global goal to restore millions of hectares of the world's deforested and degraded land.答案：[F]【定位】With around 600 hectares replanted around the world since 2015 and another 1,100 planned for this year, the company's drive fits into the Bonn Challenge, a global effort to restore 150 million hectares of the world's deforested and degraded land by 2020.Planting trees or shrubs together with crops can help improve the yield of the land, while offering small-scale farmers a chance to make a living.答案：[J]【定位】Although not technically reforestation, agroforestry (a system of land use in which harvestable trees or shrubs are grown among or around crops or on pasture land, as a means of preserving or enhancing the productivity of the land) provides an opportunity for small-holder farmers to sustain their livelihoods while adding some forest cover to their farms.One reforestation project bases its argument on economic benefits and investment returns.答案：[G]【定位】Unlike Land Life Company, this region-wide project can make the economic and business case for reforestation, even though they are after biodiversity conservation. "You need to bring in private sector investors on their investment.With time, nature may return to its original state without human intervention if the location is appropriate.答案：[M]【定位】But in the right location, perhaps all you need is time. ... Instead of intervening, their friend told him to let nature have its way. Barú’s former grazing lands are now thriving woods and the property boasts over 150 hectares of secondary forests with no intervention from humans.According to a forest and climate expert, the revival of forest cover can take place under the necessary conditions.答案：[D]【定位】“It’s not a theoretical proposition,”says Walter Vergara, a forest and climate specialist at the World Resources Institute (WRI).“It requires the right incentives, the right stakeholders, the right analysis and sufficient capital, but it can happen.”One company runs its major operations exclusively in countries where risks are not high.答案：[L]【定位】Vergara’s partners look for safe investments, and even Land Life Company only runs major projects in what they consider“low-risk”countries.Left alone, nature may take scores of years or even centuries to repair itself.答案：[C]【定位】“Does nature return by itself?”asks Arnout Asjes...“Probably, but it can take decades or hundreds of years, so we are speeding things up.”Economic returns can be derived from selling timber and non-wood products as well as carbon credits.答案：[H]【定位】Money can come from timber sales in sustainably managed forests or from harvesting‘non-wood’like nuts, oils and fruits from the trees. You can take note of how much carbon dioxide your forest is capturing and sell carbon credits to companies keen to offset their emissions.A study is under way across the world to look for crops that can grow among trees.答案：[K]【定位】A global project called Breedcafs is studying how trees behave in coffee farms, hoping to find crop varieties that manage to grow under the shade of trees.Land Life Company’s operations are usually located where reforestation is impossible without human intervention.答案：[B]【定位】The region's dry climate and depleted soils would be a recipe for disaster in your average program to replant trees, but for the Amsterdam-based Land Life Company it's an ideal place.“We typically operate where nature does not come back by itself,”says Jurrian Ruys, its CEO.

Embracing Nature
With the trend of urbanization, it is vitally important for city residents to develop a stronger love for nature. For instance, we can see some city residents growing plants on their balconies, and some others volunteering in tree-planting activities to reconnect with the natural world.Why is a stronger love for nature so essential for city residents? The reasons are quite simple and can be listed as follows. Firstly, in view of the relentless competition and the fast-paced modern city life, we urbanites often find it hard to relieve stress. Without a genuine love for nature, it would be difficult to the point of impossibility for us to maintain mental and emotional well-being. Secondly, in my humble opinion, loving nature not only improves physical health, but also fosters a sense of environmental responsibility, laying a solid foundation for sustainable urban development. Moreover, the more city residents appreciate the beauty of nature, the more they will be motivated to protect it, and the greener our cities will become.Accordingly, city residents ought to cultivate a love for nature by visiting parks regularly, taking part in hikes, and growing various plants at home. As for us college students, it is a wise choice to embrace the natural world, instead of being glued to screens all day long.

The Importance of Cultivating a Strong Sense of Responsibility
In an era of rapid social development, it is vitally important to enhance young people’s sense of responsibility. From daily trivial matters to broader social obligations, the sense of responsibility serves as the foundation of a reliable personality and a harmonious society.Why is enhancing young people’s sense of responsibility so essential? The reasons are quite simple and can be listed as follows. Firstly, in view of the ruthless competition in all walks of life and the growing complexity of social problems, young people are expected to take initiative and fulfill their duties. Without a solid sense of responsibility, it would be difficult to the point of impossibility for them to gain trust from others, accomplish team goals, or achieve personal growth. Secondly, in my humble opinion, a strong sense of responsibility not only helps young adults develop self-discipline and reliability, but also motivates them to care for their families and communities, laying a solid foundation for both personal growth and social harmony.Accordingly, we the young adults, should actively take on responsibilities, which we deem can help us build character and competence. As for us college students, it is a wise choice to start with small acts like completing assignments on time and helping classmates in need, instead of shirking duties or blaming others when problems arise.
