11、nture. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.Backcountry CampingWhy limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If

12、youre an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.Mountain and Road BikingUnlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and d

13、own steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires arent suited for rugged terrain, consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.GardeningContrary to popular belief, you dont have to travel beyond your own backyard

14、 to experience the beauty of nature every day.

18、officer who disagrees and says, “A womans reaction in any crisis is to scream. And a man has more control than a woman.”The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight strange expression come over the face of the

19、 hostess. She gestures to the servant standing behind her chair and whispers to him. The servants eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the servant place a bowl of milk on the balcony just outside the open glass doors.In India,

20、 milk in a bowl means only one thing: bait (诱饵) for a snake. The American understands there must be a snake in the room. His eyes move across the room but see nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows

21、any sudden movement will frighten the animal into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. “I want to know what control everyone here has. I will count three hundredthats five minutes and not one of you is to move a muscle. Ready!”The 20 people sit l

22、ike stone images while he counts. He is saying, “two hundred and eighty” When out of the corner of his eyes, he sees the snake make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to close the balcony doors.“There is your proof!” the host shouts. “A man has just shown us perfect self

Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peoples opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce reso

28、urces.The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so yesterday that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in post-industrial society has led those countries

29、 to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the digital divide between the rich countries and the poor countries. Th

30、is has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extendi

31、ng electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved peoples lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into

32、fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary

33、 that now we live in a borderless world. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, man

34、y governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for mak

35、ing the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.28.Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to _.A. a lack of confidence i

36、n technologyB. a slow progress in technologyC. a conflict of public opinionsD. a waste of limited resources29.The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should _.A. take peoples essential needs into accountB. make their programmes attractive to peopleC. ensure that each child gets financial s

Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Wi

40、thout competition, Columbus wouldnt have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isnt competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ec

41、ological definition - the simultaneous (同时) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrinents, living space, or light - better explains it.As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwins theory of evolution,

42、 overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, competition

43、is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a students fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors tryi

44、ng to achieve a similar recognition.Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life.

They are trying to remove the mountains standing near his homeThe story,

72、 from an ancient Chinese idom, goes like this: once upon a time, there lived an old man who was nearly 90 years old. His home faced two high mountains, making it inconvenient for him and his family to get around. Troubled by the great inconvenience, the old man discussed with his family and decided

73、to remove the mountains which blocked the way. They kept moving them day after day.Of course, things are totally different today. With society developing, we can build a road or tunnel rather than remove the mountains. But what is reflected in the story counts. It tells us that whatever difficulty we meet, we should never give up. If we dont have the courage and determination to overcome every difficulty, nothing will be accomplished.
