Are you a nature lover? Then you must visit Zhangye UNESCO Global Geopark in China! It has been regarded by UNESCO as one of the world’s top geoparks. If you enjoy beautiful views of nature, it’s really worth a visit. Here, you can see the beauty of the rainbow hills.
They are low hills that look like waves and have many different colors, just like a rainbow! There is hardly any grass growing on the land. When you see the hills from above, it’s like you’re looking at rainbows painted on the ground.
You may wonder how these colorful hills came into being. Millions of years ago, this area was under a lake. Over time, rivers brought in sand and stones with different kinds of metal elements ( 元素 ). These were left in layers ( 层 ) on the bottom of the lake. Some layers were red, some yellow, and others turned purple or blue. Later, as the climate became colder and drier, the lake dried up. Then, something amazing happened! The underground land began to rise and push against each other. The layers of sandstone were lifted higher and higher. Through years of wind, sun, and rain, they formed the colorful hills we see today.
June to September is the best time to visit Zhangye UNESCO Global Geopark. During this period, the weather is pleasant, and the mornings and evenings are cooler than the hot days, providing perfect weather to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. Sunshine after a summer rain will make the colors of the hills appear even brighter and more beautiful.

How many close friends do you have? And does the number of friends you have make a difference to your life?
Researchers in Australia studied 1,500 people over 70 and found that those with strong friendships live longer. One key reason is that good friends encourage healthy habits. For example, people with close friends are more likely to exercise, eat well, and feel good about themselves.
Friendships also influence wealth. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, found that if you make more friends at school, you’ll make more money in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.
Online networks make it easy to stay in touch. On average, teenagers have 500 online “friends”, while adults have 130. But according to Oxford professor Robin Dunbar, people regularly communicate with only about 150. He suggests we typically have five very close friends, ten more we contact sometimes, 35 we share hobbies with, and 100 we don’t know well. Beyond this, relationships become less meaningful.
However, having too many online friends might be harmful. A Canadian study of teenagers found that highly sociable users experienced more anxiety. Seeing others’ “perfect lives” can make people feel bad, and being popular online can cause social pressure.
If you have a lot of online friends, try this: first take away all the people you can’t remember. Then those you haven’t been in touch with for a year and, finally take away friends who you wouldn’t care if you lost touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.

A. Having strong friendships.

C. Having plenty of money.
D. Using online networks often.
29. What does the underlined word “anxiety” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Illnesses.
B. Stress.

D. Accidents.
30. Which of the following opinions might the writer agree with?
A. Having more friends can always make our life better.
B. Good friends should share everything with each other.
C. Online friends are more important than real-life friends.
D. True friendships matter more than the number of friends.
