That so many jobs can be done remotely means you can travel and work from anywhere you want in the world. Here are some of the best cities to live and work in. Tallinn, Estonia Often overlooked as a tourist destination, Tallinn has become known as Europe's next Silicon Valley. Not only that, it is absolutely amazing. The Old Town has been named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is full of Gothic architecture and lots of historical landmarks. Budapest, Hungary Budapest is an ideal city for anyone who is crazy about wandering. It has a diverse culture, delicious and affordable food, and best of all, a low cost of living compared to other major cities. Its Neo-Renaissance architecture has made it one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Da Nang, Vietnam Unlike large cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, Da Nang's advantage is that it is still pretty unknown to many people. That means there are fewer tourists while still providing the same attractions of a big noisy city. Enjoy the most delicious food, buy fresh coconuts on the beach, and rent a motorbike and drive over Hai Van Pass. Lisbon, Portugal Lisbon is becoming popular as a co-working community, and it's clear why so many flooded into this city. With 300 days of sunshine each year, unbelievable nightlife, and delicious food, there are certainly worthwhile places to spend your time at. Lisbon has a growing tech scene but is still very leisurely. 21. What do Tallinn and Budapest have in common? A. Their living cost is low. B. They have beautiful architecture. C.

The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and daughters. I also feared that I wouldn't be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved. Anne, our first daughter, came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college. It was challenging to balance classes, work schedules, and being a mom. But I got through it, finding moments of joy along the way. On the nights when I was home, I'd read my class notes out loud with my daughter. She'd respond by asking questions, such as “Mom, what are bacteria?” It helped us both learn. After I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D. to land the kind of job I wanted. I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new-graduate-student anxiety. I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was being selfish—that my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long-term negative impacts on my kids. Over the past year, though, I've started to let go of some of this worry. I've realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband landed a job that he is happy with. Anne dreams of becoming a marine biologist. Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, “Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.” Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but it's also rewarding. My kids are learning to look at the world through the lens of science, and watching their mom succeed inspires them. I look forward to seeing them follow my footsteps, whatever path they choose. 24.How did the writer feel about the move for her Ph.D. program? A. It was fruitful but exhausting. B. It was the last thing she would do. C. It was hopeful but challenging. D. It was promising for the whole family. 25.Which can best replace the word “invigorate” in Paragraph 3? A. strengthen. B. change. C. create. D. choose. 26.What could be inferred from Anne’s words in Paragraph 4? A. People are afraid of having cancer. B. Cancer is health enemy No.1. C. Her mother takes her job seriously. D. Anne is proud of her mother. 27.What might be the best title of the text? A. Onwards and Upwards B. Double Gains of Mum’s Pursuit C. Like Mother Like Daughter D. Generation Gap Narrowed by Love 4 （北京）股份有限公司 （北京）股份有限公司 C Faced with a declining population and workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the robots have carried out a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care for the elderly. However, the robots currently being used by companies, like Walmart and Amazon, are only able to perform single, repetitive tasks, such as stacking (堆积) boxes. Model-T, on the other hand, has a wider range of movement and is able to hold, pick and place objects of several different shapes and sizes into different locations, making it ideal for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items. Model-T robots are operated from a distant location by human “pilots” wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset and special gloves, wh
