Passage 1
Grand Canyon Family Adventure Tour
Join Buck Wild Grand Canyon Tour.
Buck Wild Grand Canyon Tour is a half day trip that “kids” of all ages will love. Traveling on fully paved roads, you'll hit the Grand Canyon viewpoints.

Yabba Dabba Doo to Bedrock City too!
Afterward, get ready to say “Yabba dabba doo” at Bedrock City! First you can learn about 1970s pop culture. Then try your luck at digging up some real dinosaur bones at Raptor Ranch's interactive dinosaur exhibit and fossil dig.

Passage 4
Jenn Ross noticed that some buckets in her garage were knocked over. Believing it may be the result of the family cat, Coco, running after a bird, she did not give it much thought. However, she soon discovered the true “criminal” in her hallway—a lovely young New Zealand fur seal!
The marine mammal spent some time exploring the spare room before settling down on the couch. Jenn finally managed to lead it out the front door and into the garden about an hour and a half later. Shortly after, a ranger (园林管理员) from the Department of Conservation retrieved the seal and returned it to the ocean.
The Ross family's home in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, is about 150 meters from the sea. This made it easy for the young seal, nicknamed Oscar, to come up the shore. Jenn's husband, Phil Ross, is a marine biologist at the University of Waikato. He suspected the seal followed Coco into the house through the cat holes.
“I haven't heard of seals going through cat holes before, but I blame our cat. Coco tends to fight with dogs. I imagine she took a swipe (猛击) at the seal, which didn't back down, and then followed her through two cat holes, into the garage, then into the downstairs part of our house，” Phil explained.
The couple's two children—Noah, 12, and Ari, 10—were excited to see their new “pet”. However, Coco, who had sought refuge (庇护) at the neighbor's house during the seal's visit, was petrified. Upon returning home, the cat was so scared that she refused to go downstairs for days.
The New Zealand fur seals are the most common seals in New Zealand. The marine mammals, hunted down for food, were on the edge of extinction in the 1800s. But their population has climbed to over 200 000 since the passage of New Zealand's “Marine Mammals Protection Act 1978”．
1．Who knocked over the buckets according to Jenn before her discovery
A．Oscar. B．Noah.
C．Phil. D．Coco.
2．Why did Phil blame Coco
A．She couldn't beat dogs. B．She was kind to the seal.
C．She led the seal into the house. D．She made two holes in the wall.
3．What does the underlined word “petrified” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Frightened. B．Confused.
C．Disappointed. D．Embarrassed.
4．What do you think of New Zealand's “Marine Mammals Protection Act 1978”？
A．It has proved that the seals will die out. B．It has helped protect the seals effectively.
C．It has changed the seals' living habits. D．It has prevented the seals from leaving the sea.
Passage 5
Facebook and Ray Ban have released their first pair of camera smart glasses, Ray Ban Stories. Facebook hopes they'll be worn to take pictures and short videos, listen to music, and make phone calls, by anyone 13 or older.
The glasses, which Facebook had made fun of in the past, start at $299 and come in three styles, and are available to buyers in six countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Hind Hobeika, a product manager for augmented reality devices at Facebook Reality Labs, told me Ray Ban Stories are “the first smart glasses that people will want to wear”．
Facebook lent me a pair of Ray Ban Stories with sunglass lenses (镜片) so I could decide for myself. Ray Ban Stories rely on a companion smartphone app called Facebook View to let you see, edit and share images and videos. It was easy to send pictures to friends via the app.
As far as I could tell, nobody noticed anything unusual about the glasses while chasing my kids around a busy playground, even when I was taking numerous short videos. It would have been easy to use these glasses to invade other people's privacy.
I spoke with Jeremy Greenberg, policy counsel at the Future of Privacy Forums, about my experience. He said there's “definitely some concerns” that people didn't appear to notice that I was capturing pictures and videos—something that would be more obvious if I had pulled out my phone.
“It'll be interesting to see, if this technology becomes widespread, will folks sort of develop that cultural understanding that their images might be taken or videos might be taken？” he asked. “It's real that time will tell.”
And after days of trying them out, I still didn't have the sense that I (or anyone, really) need Ray Ban Stories. You may need eyeglasses or sunglasses, and a smartphone, too. But it's going to be tough for Facebook to convince most people that they have to have a device that can repeat a few of their phone's features sitting on their face—even one that looks this good.
1．What can we learn about Rat Ban Stories
A．They are intended for adults. B．Each pair is no more than $299.
C．Hind Hobeika has confidence in them. D．They are being sold all over the world.
2．What can we use Facebook View to do
A．Revise photos. B．Produce videos.
C．Listen to music. D．Make phone calls.
3．What was Jeremy Greenberg curious to know
A．Whether people will buy Ray Ban Stories.
B．Whether people like to have their photos taken.
C．Whether Ray Ban Stories will replace mobile phones.
D．Whether Ray Ban Stories will develop well.
4．What is the author's final conclusion about Ray Ban Stories
A．They are practical. B．They are unnecessary.
C．They will cause trouble. D．They will benefit us greatly.
Passage 6
As millions of people commute to work, sit at their desks once they arrive at the office and then relax at home at night, in some cases anyway, binge watching their favorite television shows, they may not realize how much all of that sitting may be harming their health.
“Some doctors have called sitting the new smoking，” Dr Deepak L．Bhatt, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, told Fox News Digital. “And while that is a bit of an exaggeration (夸张)—smoking is very bad for cardiovascular and overall health—it is true that prolonged periods of sitting worsen health，” added Bhatt.
A 2017 study published in the AnnalsofInternalMedicine that researched an estimated 8 000 adults found an association between prolonged sitting and the risk of early death. According to the study, participants who sat for more than 13 hours per day had a 200% greater risk of death than participants who sat for less than 11 hours. Participants who often sat longer than 90 minutes at a time were about twice as likely to die than those who always limited their sitting time to less than 90 minutes at a time. But the study found those who sat for less than 30 minutes at a time had the least risk of death.
But it's important to think about all the activities we do every day that make us sit too long, not just at work, added Scott Brown, vice president of fitness at Orangetheory Fitness. “This includes driving, eating and time on the sofa，” he told Fox News Digital.
Brown recommended three simple tips on helping decrease sitting too much: Use a smartwatch that can both track and encourage you to stand at specific intervals; set a timer or calendar reminder to remind you to take a standing break; set a goal to take a break every 30—60 minutes. “Amplify (增强) the effect by taking a short walk and even better taking a flight of stairs. Walking while on the phone can be a good way to burn some calories，” he added.
1．Why have doctors called sitting the new smoking
A．It can keep us calm. B．It is harmful to our health.
C．It makes us like smoking. D．It is the same as smoking.
2．How long can we sit at a time according to a 2017 study
A．Less than half an hour. B．One and a half hours.
C．11 hours. D．13 hours.
3．What does Brown advise people to do
A．Take part in various activities. B．Wear a watch.
C．Reduce time of sitting every day. D．Have a break every now and then.
4．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Sitting Is Exactly like Smoking B．There Are Tips on Keeping Us Active
C．Activities Can Help to Lose Weight D．Sitting Too Long Is Harmful to Our Health
