    Switzerland, as the first place in Europe to develop winter tourism, has a long skiing tradition. A long ski season, terrific snow conditions, and large, well-developed resort areas make Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers from around the world.
    Where to Ski as a Beginner
    Saas-Fee: You can find plenty of English-speaking ski schools in Saas-Fee and lots of bunny slopes (初学者滑雪道) on which to master your turns. The beginner ski area is separate, so you can practice without getting in the way of other skiers.
    Grindelwald: Grindelwald is a great choice for families, with plenty of ski schools and several bunny slopes, such as the Bodmi practice area, which is fit for children. Once you’re ready to head up the mountain, about 30 percent of Grindelwald’s runs are rated blue, meaning they’re on the easier side.
    Summer Skiing
    Incredible as it may seem, it’s actually possible to ski in Switzerland during the summer months thanks to the presence of several glaciers where it’s winter year-round. Zermatt is home to the Theodul glacier (冰川). With 13 miles (21 kilometers) of runs, it’s the largest summer ski area in Europe and attracts professional skiers looking to train year-round. The glacier slopes here are beautifully scenic and offer skiers up-close views of the Matterhorn.
    Budget Travel Tips
    Avoid peak season: Visit during the start or end of the ski season.
    Self-cater: If you rent a small apartment or home with kitchen facilities, you can prepare some of your own meals to save dining expenses.
    Enjoy the snow without skiing every day: Ice skating, tobogganing (乘坐平底雪橇), winter hiking, or just having a snowball fight are all more affordable ways to enjoy the Swiss winter landscape.

    Before the pandemic, my Singapore-based sister insisted my mother and I join her for the Christmas. My mum, a fearless woman, would get strangely nervous on flights. Perhaps the only thing that convinced her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together our declining bond.
    Growing up, moments with Mum were painfully short-lived because I spent most time at the boarding school, reuniting only during the holidays. Every year, she would eagerly await my return, which would always lead to constant loving scenes. Those valuable moments were gradually disappearing as I moved away for university. Soon, our relationship became tense. She seemed unable to understand me and her stubborn and old-fashioned advice forced me to shut myself. But the more I pulled away, the more I felt a longing for the bond that had grown so weak. Perhaps Singapore would give us a chance to breathe it back to life.
    I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum would refresh my mother, who was an art student. However, I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness about ocean pollution. “It’s art, Mum! Be more appreciative.” I defended.
    Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her to the kid’s zone. We signed up for a joint sketching activity, hoping that would help us connect. As our creative juices flowed, our faded relationship began to take on the hues (色调) and shades of something sincere and beautiful.
    “Look!” she excitedly pointed towards a digital screen that displayed our creations." That one’s ours." Mum went up and reached out, touching the fish as it moved its tail back and forth in the virtual tank.
    Looking around, I saw children sharing moments with their parents, and my own childhood flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner innocence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, who was like me, had lost a vital connection to responsibilities of motherhood.
    “Our time together was like that of friends,” she remarks now. “You were my mother, and I a child following you around.” Life has indeed come full circle.
    24.What made Mum accept the visit to Singapore?
    A.The very fact of being a fearless woman herself.   B. The short cherished moments before the pandemic.
    C.The desire to restore relationship with her children.  D. The sincere invitation of my Singapore-based sister.
    25.What can we learn from paragraph 2?
    A.Our relationship suffered due to geographic distance.  B. My bond with Mum weakened after I went to the university.
    C.I was overwhelmed with Mum's love before university. D. Moments with Mum was painful during the holidays.
    26.How did Mum react to the Bruges Whale?
    A.She showed a great interest in this work of art.  B. She felt it a huge waste to make it from plastic.
    C.She considered it beneficial to ocean protection. D. She didn’t think it good enough to be exhibited.
    27.What is probably the main idea of the text?
    A.A visit to Art Science Museum rebuilt my bond with Mum.  B. A journey to Singapore rid Mum of her fear on flights.
    C.A sketching activity revealed Mum’s long-lost innocence    D. An attempt dug into likely causes for the fading relationship.
