1． The UNESCO World Heritage List is a prestigious honour awarded to sites of outstanding universal value around the world.Did you know there are 1，157 UNESCO World Heritage Sites spanning across 167 countries？We've picked out our top 4 for you to visit below.
The Acropolis，Greece
The Acropolis is an ancient castle that stands proud in the Greek city of Athens.Back in the fifth century BC after battle with the Persians，the plans of Pericles came to life under the influence of Pheidias，the sculptor.It then became a place for thought and art to flourish，where symbols of classical spirit and civilisation came alive.
Historic centre of Rome，Italy
According to Roman mythology，the Eternal City was founded in 753 BC and became the capital of the mighty Roman Empire.Rome is home to a number of attractions including the Forum，the Pantheon and the Colosseum!This World Heritage site contains the whole historic centre within the city walls and reflects the influence of the Renaissance and Baroque periods in making it one of Italy's most popular cities.
Ayutthaya Historical Park，Thailand
The historic city of Ayutthaya in Thailand was founded around 1350 and was subsequently destroyed in the 18th century by the Burmese.What's left today is the ruins and some key highlights include the Buddhist temples of Wat Ratchaburana，Wat Mahathat and Wat Phra Sri Sanphet.The area is home to the remains of tall prang （reliquary towers） and should not be missed.

The landscape in Bali is unlike anything else on Earth.Consisting of five rice terraces （梯田） and water temples covering 19，500 hectares，the cultural landscape takes your breath away.This site gains honour through an ancient farming ceremony dating back to the 9th century known as subak.This concept reflects the spirit，the human world and nature，also known as Tri Hita Karana.

2． A girl of 12 has raised more than ￡8，000 for a cancer charity by running three kilometres every day for a year in honour of her grandad.Emily Talman，of Birkenhead，Merseyside，was inspired by the Daily Mirror's "Pride of Britain Awards" to take on the challenge.She started running on November 8 last year after Grandad Pete Talman recovered from prostate （前列腺） cancer.
Emily said she did it for all grandads.She added： "I remember watching the 'Pride of Britain Awards' last year，when my grandad was better，and I wanted to do something to help other families who are going through what we did."
Pete，69，was diagnosed with cancer in 2019.He had successful surgery to remove his prostate the following July. "My grandad always told me， 'Never give up，never give in' and that's what I've told myself during my challenge.I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to still have him in my life."
Emily had to face all weather for her runs.But she said thinking about families who have lost loved ones to cancer kept her going.The determined schoolgirl，who has three sisters，added， "I always think about the people who can't be with their grandad，dad，uncle，or brother because of prostate cancer."
Liverpool fan Emily even made time on Christmas Day and her 12th birthday on August 15 for her runs.She plans to "have a little break from running" but hopes to complete 100 more days every year in the future to keep spreading awareness of prostate cancer.
Parents Ricky Talman and Stacey Williams told of their pride in her.Ricky said， "It was a tough challenge but she's just been a warrior and everyone in the family is so proud of her."

3． A research team led by the University of G?ttingen has shed new light on the importance of plant roots for belowground life，particularly in the tropics （熱帶）.
Millions of small creatures working hard in a single hectare of soil including earthworms，springtails，mites，insects，and other arthropods （節(jié)肢動(dòng)物） are crucial for decomposition and soil health.For a long time，it was believed that leaf litter is the primary resource for these animals.However，this recent study is the first to provide proof that resources from plant roots drive soil animal communities in the tropics.
The researchers divided plots （地塊） within natural ecosystems and separated the plots from accessing plant roots with a plastic barrier.Their study included rainforest，as well as both rubber and oil palm plantations in Sumatra，Indonesia.They removed all dead leaves，the main resource of decomposer animals，from other experimental plots to compare them.
They found that without living roots，animal abundance in the rainforest plots decreases by 42 percent and in plantations by 30 percent.By contrast，removing the dead leaves has almost no effect on the animals in the underlying soil，but decreased the total animal abundance （in the soil and dead leaves） by 60 percent in rainforest and rubber plantations due to physical litter removal.
The study also revealed that living roots are especially important for the smaller soil animals，such as mites and springtails.Interestingly，after adding artificial plastic leaves in oil palm plantations，abundance of some animal groups-such as prostigmata-increased，highlighting that improving habitat structure can promote soil food networks and the services they provide.
"The study provides new perspectives for the management of the resources provided by plant litter in tropical plantations，contributing to soil animal biodiversity.This is important to develop sustainable agricultural landscapes in the tropics，" says Professor Stefan Scheu，head of the Animal Ecology Working Group at the University of Gottingen.
（1）What role do arthropods play in the tropics？
A．Making soil healthy.
B．Slowing global warming.
C．Feeding other animals.
D．Providing nutrition for plants.
（2）Why were dead leaves removed from some plots？
A．To make room for crops.
B．To keep the plots clean.
C．To improve the soil condition.
D．To make comparisons.
（3）Which of the following may affect the animal abundance of a plot？
A．Variety of plants.
B．Roots of plants.
C．Height of plants.
D．Quantities of plants.
（4）According to Stefan，what matters to sustainable agricultural landscapes？
A．Biodiversity of soil animals.
B．Habitat structure of living things.
C．Resources provided by animal waste.
D．New perspectives of management組卷：0引用：2難度：0.5
