is composed mostly of a lake, but it’s surrounded by beautiful greenery and a walkway that circles the lake. It is recommended that you give the Summer Palace about three hours. If you try to walk around it, it could take five or six hours. With that knowledge of it, I set off.
The highlight of the tour had to be the view from the Tower of Buddhist Incense. It sits on top of a large hill overlooking the lake and that is worth the climb. It was built as a place to worship (朝拜) Buddha. And in the Summer Palace，unlike most of the other places, photography wasn’t allowed in most of the buildings. Most of the statues of Buddha and the other artifacts(手工艺品) were off-limits to photo.
Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched the opera and other theater items. There are box seats that surround the stage and it was the largest stage created in all of Imperial China. You could almost imagine royalty reviewing the actors from the boxes and the stage.
I do recommend taking a boat ride if you go, which takes you from one side of the lake to the other side where you can see another set of buildings. And it is fun. You can also rent an electric or paddle boat if you want. But since it was just me, I went on one of the biggest boats with other people.
I spent another four hours wandering around the Summer Palace. But I didn’t see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again.
24. Before setting off to the Summer Palace, the author______.
A. asked others about it
B. didn’t think it was large

A. worshipped Buddha
B. touched some artifacts

so bad after all.

Research has found that adults today have fewer friends than they did in the 1980s, and that more people say they have no one to discuss important stuff with.
Play the violin. Not just play it —and sing along. A new study suggests that singing is an effective way to make new friends because it helps us bond quickly with others.
For the study, led by Eiluned Pearce, Ph. D. at Oxford University, researchers looked at participants aged 18 to 83 in adult education classes organized by the Workers’Education Association in the UK. Eighty-four participants were enrolled in one of four singing classes;
51 participants were enrolled in one of two creative crafts classes or a creative writing class.
Over a period of seven months, the classes went weekly. During the first, third, and final months, researchers asked participants to tell how close they felt to their classmates. Results showed something surprising. Although participants in all the classes felt closer to their classmates by the study’s end, participants in the singing classes developed that closeness much more quickly.
As for why exactly singing leads to fast group bonding, the researchers say one possible reason is that everyone does it at the same time. Compare that with creative writing or crafting, where everyone is working on an individual project. Another possible cause, according to the researchers, is that singing involves muscular effort, which causes the release of certain molecules(分子) that can make us happier and more willing to cooperate.
The point here is that singing can be a great icebreaker among large groups of strangers, which can lead to individual friendships down the line. “Really close relationships still depend on communication between individuals or much smaller groups,” Pearce said in a release, “but this study shows singing can start the bonding process.”
32. What has research found about today’s adults?
A. They don’t really want friends.
B. They are looking for new friends.
C. They have fewer friends that before.
D. They like discussing important things with friends
33.The researchers didn’t expect that______.
A. creative writing classes help people bond
B. the participants would become closer to others
C. so many participants would take singing classes
D. participants in the singing classes would bond so quickly
34. Paragraph 5 shows that reasons for the results of the research are_____.
A. very cheering
B. very interesting
C. a bit confusing
D. not completely possible
35. According to Eiluned Pearce, really close relationships _________.
A. are easy to develop
B. depend on one’s attitude
C. often occur in large groups
D. rely on individual communication
