As summer approaches ，many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand. One great way to make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel. Clearly ，I am not a naturally adventurous person ， but I have found that taking the risk and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very
rewarding experience.
Because I am usually quite busy during the school year ，most of my travels take place during the summer. Over the past few summers，I have hiked in the Grand Canyon，explored Niagara Falls，and camped out in upstate New York. Although these experiences are varied ，they are similar in that they instil （逐渐灌输 ）a sense of appreciation for nature and a more balanced view on life. When I hiked in the Grand Canyon，for example，I was in
awe （敬畏） of the geological influences that shaped the canyon.
Adventures，of course，are not limited to hiking. There are many other choices，such as camping，volunteering in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries. In my opinion ，adventures are more enjoyable with family or a few friends. There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor adventures. For example，when I was in Boy Scouts，I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends. When I came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip，I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and nature
around me.
Next fall，I will attend college. In the meantime though，I hope to make the most of my summer to explore and
travel. Now ，I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine.
When I visited Maine last fall ，I was amazed by how beautiful it was and the tall trees and coasts that exist，
and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature there this summer.

It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue
skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and
fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I'm so glad I did.
On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on
board, we noticed two big hums (脊背) in the distance.
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn't believe it—there aren't any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so
badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale—actually as big as our boat—was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools (漩涡) and waves. "She's trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side," my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe—and to give us a trusting (信任的) look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water
flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly
to that golden day at sea.
4.The author says "I'm so glad I did." (in Para.2) because .
A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing
B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C. he experienced the rescue of the whales
D. he spent the weekend with his family
5.The harbour survived the storm thanks to .
A. the shape of the harbour B. the arms of the bay
C. the still water in the channel D. the long coast line
6.The mother whale failed to help her baby because .
A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B. the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C. she had no other whales around to turn to for help
D. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction
7.What is the theme of the story
A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.
B. Fishing provides excitement for children.
C. It's necessary to live in harmony with animals
D. It's vital to protect the environment.

How to Bring Our Community Together
Canada is a nation that prides itself on multiculturalism and the opportunity. ① Building social
connections and a sense of belonging brings people together in ways that strengthen individual relationships as well
as the whole community.
There are several things that we can do to develop strong social connections and a sense of belonging :
② One of the simplest ways to bring a community together is through shared experiences. Events
like an international food festival, a sports league featuring activities from around the world, and health and
wellness programs drawing on different cultures, are excellent ways of bringing people together.
Think outside the box. ③ Many of us get caught up in our own routines and practices and forget
that there are other ways of doing things. Try talking to different community members, ranging from youths to
seniors, to understand their opinions of the world. ④
Try new things. Positively influencing our community can go beyond volunteering our time and resources.
Consider getting involved in our community by working for the 2017 Census(人口普查)as an enumerator (普查员)
or a crew leader. Census enumerators are responsible for identifying dwellings on maps, conducting personal
interviews, and following up respondents in person and by phone, while crew leaders are responsible for leading,
training and supervising a team of enumerators. ⑤
A strong feeling of unity in a community can make residents feel comfortable and at home.
A. Plan community events.
B. Encourage community members to do some community service work.
C. Social connections offer community members chances to know each other better.
D. Our multicultural tradition provides a welcoming environment for individuals and families.
E. Learning about different cultures and practices can open our mind to a whole new way of life.
F. Invite individuals of different cultures to participate in community planning to ensure that every voice is heard.
G. These positions provide an opportunity to meet new people and build relationships with members of our
community.Unit 4 JOURNEY ACROSS A VAST LAND Reading and Thinking 分层作业
