Great Activities for Nature Lovers

Hiking

One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old fashioned hike. Hiking generally doesn't require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.

Backcountry Camping

Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend for a longer adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent，sleeping gear ,food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. I you’re an experienced hiker and camper ,this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.

Mountain and Road Biking

Unlike long hikes through the woods , biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes , between trees , and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires

aren't suited for rugged terrain( 地形) , consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.

Gardening

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to travel beyond your own backyard to experience the beauty of nature every day. If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables , fruit , herbs，or flowers. There's something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad with fresh ingredients you grow yourself. One of the best parts about spending time in gardening is that it doesn't have to break your budget and anyone can do it.

1. W hat do hikers need for hiking?

A. Practical skills.

B. Necessary equipment.

C. A useful map.

D. A relaxed mood.

2. W hat's NOT the advantage of gardening according to the text?

A. You don't need to go far to enjoy the beauty of nature.

B. It gives you a sense of satisfaction when cooking with fresh ingredients.

C. It doesn't take any energy or money to do it.

D. I’s easy to start it for an yone who likes it.

3. Which of the following can take you to travel farthest?

A. Hiking.

B. Backcountry Camping.

C. Mountain and Road Biking.

D. Gardening.

My name is Matthew. I'm not someone who has many secrets，because I'm a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years- -I failed my driving test.

I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious , but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam , but getting behind the wheel was a different story.

But when October 30th rolled around ,my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school , showing off the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day,I can't remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test , pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds , and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday.

One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experienced——but sill, I couldn't imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn't. It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes ,I had also failed.

Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience , without which one couldn't make a true man.

4. What can we learn about Matthew?

A. He was a slow learner of driving.

B. He relied heavily on his parents.

C. He was afraid of taking exams.

D. He was bored with telling lies.

5. Why did the instructor ask Matthew to pull over?

A. To put an end to his lest.

B. To check his parking skills.

C. To give him a second chance,

D. To show him a better way of driving.

6. W hat made Matthew feel extremely worried after his first attempt?

A. Failing to get a driving license.

B. Missing his birthday celebration.

C. Making his parents disappointed.

D. Losing face before his classmates.

7. W hat did Matthew learn from his own experience?

A. Honesty is the best policy.

B. Failure is a way to grow up.

C. Truth stands the test of time.

D. Imperfection is another form of perfection.

【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B

Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime , if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.

The new law , Family Protection and Development Promotion Act , was initiated(启动) by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22 ,2019.

The law aims at curbing smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health residing under the same roof. In that case, it will be considered as “domestic violence". The new law came into force on August 20.

According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control , at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University , there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke.

An average of 10. 3 million people have unwittingly (不知不觉地) become passive smokers because they've been breathing in smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are al greater risk of being affected by cancer.

Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced ,76% of them were

found to have nicotine traces in their urine , with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding permissible levels.

Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a . lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.

According to the new law , anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to officials concerned so that inspectors will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers.

Once convicted , the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person's family.

In February in 2019 ,Thailand had banned smoking at six of its airports along with a ban in public places.

We know that reading is good for children. Now, a new study suggests that just

being around books has its benefits. A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up with a large library at home improves literacy( 读写能力) ,number-sense , and even technological skills in later life. It appeared in the journal Social Science Research.

The researchers were exploring the advantages of scholarly culture. They were interested in a curious observation that some call the “radiation

effect".“Radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books , but they don't read books. But somehow books benefit them, even though they don't read them as much as their parents wish them to,” said Joanna Sikora , a sociologist in Australia. Joanna and her colleagues analyzed data collected between 2011 and 2015 by the Organization for Economic Development. The survey assessed the literacy，numeracy(计算能力) , and technological competency of more than 160 , 000 adults from 31 countries. And it included a question about how many books participants had in their homes during adolescence.“What we were able to make clear was that people growing up around books had better literacy , numeracy and digital problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels , similar jobs ，and even similar adult habits in terms of reading or working at various numeracy-improving activities," she said.

In fact , teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment did as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books. Now , how might mere exposure lead to intellectual improvement?“If we grow up in a house , in a home where parents enjoy books , where books are given as birthday presents and valued , this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong urge to always come close to books and read more than we would.”

So keep shelves piled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, they'll be more likely to be able to spell “grateful" correctly as well.

12. What's “radiation effect" according to the text?

A. The terrible effect of radiation on the persons and things.

B. The good influence of the bookish environment on adolescents.

C. The beneficial effect of reading books on adolescents.

D. The bad effect of the environment without books on adolescents.

13. How does the exposure to books improve intellect?

A. Books bring a sense of identity and eagerness to read more.

B. Books help to provide a chance to come close to society,

C. Books are always given to adolescents as valuable presents.

D. Books will offer the teens an urge to make great achievements.

14. What's the author's attitude towards bookish environment?

A. Opposed.

B. Neutral.

C. Indifferent.

D. Supportive.

15. What's the best title for the text?

A. Reading More Helps Improve Children's Abilities

B. Reading at Home Brings Children Many Advantages

C. Growing Up Around Books Benefits Children a Lot

D. Creating a Bookish Environment for Children Is of Much Importance

【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C

【解析】

【12题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中“Radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books , but they don't read books. But somehow books benefit them, even though they don't read them as much as their parents wish them to”可知，辐射效应在本文中指在书香环境中长大的孩子，虽然他们没有像父母期待的那样读那么多的书，但他们仍然从书中受益良多。由此推断出，书香环境对青少年的良好影响，故选B。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中“If we grow up in a house , in a home where parents enjoy books , where books are given as birthday presents and valued , this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong urge to always come close to books and read more than we would.”可知，如果我们生长在父母热爱书、珍惜书的家庭中，这将成为我们认知中的一部分，让我们终身都有接近书，多读书的渴望。故选A。【14题详解】

观点态度题。根据最后一段中“So keep shelves piled with books..”所以书柜里装满书吧。由此可知，作者对于书香环境是支持的，故选D。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据全文的大意，尤其是第一段中“We know that reading is good for children. Now, a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits.”可知，本文主要讲述了书香环境对孩子成长的好处。故选C。
