Frances Stevens Reese Wooldland Trail Guide
The Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October 21,1997. Boscobel’s Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of former Boscobel board member, Fances Stevens Reese (1917-2003), one year after his death.
The trail is approximately 10 miles in length, leading down to Constitution Forest. When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War, trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest, you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.
Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region. You will also find signs with historic and environmental information written by area specialists.
When you take a walk through this“undiscovered”forest land, please be a considerate guest.
Before walking the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House. Plan ahead, so you will be back by closing time.
Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of poison plants and snakes.
Leave rocks, plants, animals and art works where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.
Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail. If you happen to see a piece of litter, be a good guest and pick it up.
21. When was the trail named to honor Frances Stevens Reese
A. In 1997. B. In 1917. C. In 2003. D. In 2004.
22. What can you see along the trail
A. An old battle field. B. A glass factory. C. Information signs. D. Rock houses.
23. What should you do as a thoughtful visitor
A. Leave the wildlife undisturbed. B. Throw the rubbish into the dustbins.
C. Make reservations in the Carriage House. D. Protect the markers of the Woodland Trail.
B
Getting out of my car one evening in late January, I met my neighbor Theresa, who had seen me drive in.“Mrs Taylor is in the hospital again,”she said.“I thought you’d like to know.”I had last seen Mrs Taylor a day or two before Christmas when I took her a little loaf of pumpkin bread, and she came from the backroom in her wheelchair to talk with me. Mrs Taylor and I had been neighbors for 17 years. I remember the dog she and her husband used to have. They called him Beau. He greeted everyone who walked by, and Mr Taylor loved him.
Most of my conversations with Mrs Taylor had been incidental— visits by the mailbox, running into one another at the gas station where she helped me pu t air in my tire, quiet talks at the funeral home where we went to honor the memory of a mutual friend.
When my husband and I moved here with our four noisy, laughing kids, it must have seemed as if the peaceful quiet of the neighborhood had been forever broken. But we showed our enthusiasm to the neighbors sincerely although we had little in common with the mostly elderly folks on our street. Over the years they helped us love our children, picking them up when a bicycle overturned and sending the kids cards for their graduation. We have enjoyed the comfort of living beside people who help us if our tree falls on the fence and feed the cat when we're away.
Mrs Taylor did not survive her latest set-back. Once again I walked into the funeral home to say good-bye to a neighbor. I remembered the barking dog, the chats by the mailbox, the friendly wave across the fence. I remembered, and I was sad, but I had no regrets. Now there is a new family moving into the Taylor place. I see children's toys in the yard. It's time to take a walk.
24. What can we know according to the first paragraph
A. Mrs Taylor has a big and happy family.
B. The author likes Mrs Taylor's dog very much.
C. The author would like to know Mrs Taylor is in the hospital.
D. Mrs Taylor had been in poor health before Theresa told the author.
25. What does the underlined word“incidental”refer to
A. Helpful. B. Unprepared. C. Unpleasant. D. Delightful.
26. How did the author solve the difference with the neighbors
A. She let her children be less noisy and naughty.
B. She tried to know more elderly folks in her street.
C. She treated everyone in the neighborhood warmly.
D. She enjoyed the comfort of living beside neighbors.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. The True Neighbor B. Gratitude to my neighbor
C. Mrs Taylor —A Respectable Woman D. Expectation for New Neighbor
C
When I first began running in high school on the track team, it made sense to carefully clock every mile and push myself to race for personal bests. But as I changed from running for sport to running for amusement as an adult, I found that tracking my workouts often just ended with frustration. And it wasn't until my watch battery died several years ago that I first experienced the sense of calm that came with running for the pure joy of it. I never replaced the watch battery, and that might not be a bad thing for my fitness goals.
This is the idea of unplugged(不插电的) running, which is gaining steam in the fitness community. And recent research has shown that getting rid of your running watch, especially if it's a smartwatch or fitness tracker, could actually improve your workout—or at least your enjoyment of running.
“People used to have an interest in their sport and get enjoyment out of the sport, but now that'sswitching to the data,”said Eoin Whelan, a senior lecture r at the National University of Ireland Galway. “They will compare themselves to people who are better than them, who are running faster or runninglonger. And in the end we know that makes them feel bad.”
Whelan also noted that people who are very dependent on smart watches or fitness trackers are more likely to skip their workouts if the batteries on their tracking devices are dead.
In addition, there is evidence that running watch-free is beneficial for more than just the casual jogger. Some professionals also have had success with leaving their watches at home. Welsh runner Steve Jones famously set a world record at the 1984 Chicago Marathon without wearing a watch. More recently, Olympic marathoner Trevor Hofbauer made headlines for winning the 2019 Canadian Marathon Championships without a watch.
“If you have too much information being fed to you in real time, it can kind of get in your head,”Hofbauer said.“For me, the simpler, the better.”
28. What happened to the author when his running watch didn't work
A. He lost the desire to keep running every day. B. He experienced running as a really fun activity.
C. He was at a loss how to replace the watch battery. D. He had great difficulty achieving his fitness goals.
29. What does Eoin Whelan say about fitness tracking watches
A. They can enrich the wearers'social life. B. The data provided by them is unreliable.
C. The way people use them is proper. D. They can lead to harmful consequences.
30. Why does the author mention Trevor Hofbauer in paragraph 5
A. To show the popularity of running watch-free.
B. To encourage people to become professional runners.
C. To prove the positive effects of running watch-free.
D. To present professionals' views on running watch-free.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. It's time to take off your running watch. B. Unplugged running actually has two sides.
C. Comparing with others should be avoided. D. Racing for personal bests requires simplicity.
D
Heat waves are becoming more common in parts of the United States — and that means morepeople running their air conditioners for longer. But those air conditioners can make the problem worse, giving off greenhouse gases as they work that contribute heavily to climate change.
SkyCool Systems is trying to break that cycle, using technology that promises to offer buildings analternative means to cool down in a similar way to how the planet cools itself.“Our planet naturally cools itself by sending heat out in the form of infrared light(红外线) or radiation,”said Eli Goldstein, SkyCool's cofounder and CEO.“We do this through rooftop panels, which look like solar panels but actually do the opposite, reflecting 97% of the sunlight that hits them and cooling the surface below,”said Goldstein.
SkyCool’s model involves fixing a network of pipes below those panels. These pipes are filled withwater, which is kept cool by the panels and then flows into an air conditioning system. This process is designed to take pressure off the system’s cooling mechanism. And because the panels cool naturally and don't need external power to function, it helps the entire system use less electricity.
A Grocery Outlet store in California, which has been using SkyCool's system since last year, says itsaw a marked drop in its electrical bills. Jesus Valenzuela, the store manager, estimates that the panels have saved his store roughly $3,000 a month.
But perhaps the biggest barrier to making the technology ubiquitous(无处不在的) is its relativelyhigh cost. Increasing production could help bring the cost down, Goldstein said, particularly for developing countries in Asia and Africa where SkyCool hopes to eventually expand. For now, the company is focused on commercial applications of the technology, though it hopes to start setting up panels on the roofs of individual homes.“We’re just excited to be able to use this new technology for good,”Goldstein said.
32. How did Goldstein explain the way their rooftop panels work
A. By citing an expert's words. B. By making comparisons.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By describing the process in detail.
33. What is the function of the pipes in SkyCool's model
A. To store cold water to help cool the panels.
B. To help ease the water pressure of the air conditioning.
C. To power the panels by making use of flowing water.
D. To feed cold water into the air conditioning system.
34. How might Jesus Valenzuela view SkyCool’s system
A. It's pretty effective. B. It has increased sales for his store.
C. It will go out of style quickly. D. It will cost too much to set up.
35. What does SkyCool expect of its system
A. It'll bring in a good profit for the company. B. It'll gain popularity in developed countries.
C. It'll be accessible to common households. D. It'll take the place of air conditioners.

It was New Year time, and it would be our first New Year away from Alabama. That winter, my mother and my stepfather moved our family to Southern California. My athletic little brother, Paul, was 41 about the climate that allowed him to go to the beach 42 he wanted.

While always filled with 52 holiday decorations and homemade food before New Year, Granny’s house, in my childhood eyes, was precious and fantastic.
There were countless tins and containers. We opened them to discover piles of holiday 53. She even included our traditional candy bars. The box was as bottomless as a magic al box. There,54 all these, was my familiar holiday.
Every New Year that we spent in California, the 55 service could call. Over the years, many treasures arrived in the box. For me, it's always been the best part of the holiday.

One particularly cold Saturday in January, I was supposed to take our dog out for a walk, but it wasso cold that I didn't want to go outside. Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside.
However, another neighborhood dog quickly ra n past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him.
Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened.“I know I was supposed to walk our dog,”I admitted,“but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he's gone and I can't find him anywhere.”
My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs . The signs read,“Lost:A big black dog. Please call us right away”and she printed our phone number on the bottom.“Okay, Darrell,”she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.”
My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I'd walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself.

I took my sister home and continued my search alone. Carrying the signs made by my mother, I kept posting them. In the meantime, whenever there were people passing by, I would ask if they had me t such a dog. I even knocked from door to door, asking if they had seen it. No luck. Nobody claimed to have spotted our dog. What if I had taken the dog out for a walk Tears of regret welled up in my eyes. As the darkness fell, I decided to come back home to check if anybody had called.
When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. There, behind my mother, was our lovely dog looking up at me eagerly. Upon seeing me, it raced towards me. I couldn't hold my tears.“It just came back by itself,”my mother said gently. Hugging the dog with relief, I apologized to my mother sincerely. “I am sure you have learned your lesson today,”my mother replied in a comforting voice. I played with mysister and the dog again. Despite the freezing weather outside, my heart warmed up. It was on the day that I learned the value of responsibility.
