Four Top Places to Visit in British Columbia in Spring
No matter the season, British Columbia is an outdoor adventurer’s dreamland. Many cities and regions of this province offer the best way to soak up spring’s natural wonders.
Nakusp
Nestled in the Kuskaxan Valley, Nakusp is a fascinating inland, lakeside destination full of life in spring. The area is most famous for its hot springs, which include one natural mineral spring and two developed sites. Whether hiking around the waterfront or lying at the lakeside beach, there are dozens of ways to enjoy the water.
Kelowna
Not far from Nakusp is Kelowna, another lakeside town with a charming atmosphere. Dotted with wineries, Kelowna comes alive each April for BC Wine Month. In spring, besides tasting fine wines, you can also soak up the lakeside views, hike through Hardy Falls Park, or even row boats on Okanagan Lake with unique day trips.
Whistler
Located in the Coast Mountains Range, Whistler is known as both a premier skiing and snowboarding winter destination and a dreamy summer getaway. But the bear tour in spring is the coolest activity. With a dramatic mountain backdrop, you might even feel like you’re in the Swiss Alps at times.
Desolation Sound
At the tip of British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound is a popular choice for sailors. Or if you want a more hands-off experience, you can join a whale-watching tour, harvest oysters and mussels, and even go swimming as summer approaches. Be sure to time your visit for early morning, when the mist lifts gently over the water and the coastline looks especially breathtaking.
1．What is the most distinctive feature of Kelowna
A．Joyful hikes in parks. B．Pretty lakeside views.
C．Wineries across the town. D．Unique trips during the day.
2．Where can visitors take a bear tour in spring
A．In Nakusp. B．In Whistler.
C．In Kelowna. D．In Desolation Sound.
3．What does the author suggest visitors do in Desolation Sound
A．Feed whales with local sailors. B．Stay overnight for night scenery.
C．Enjoy the mist lifting over the water. D．Visit in early morning for great views.
Over the summer, my 9-year-old daughter Cora attended her first sleepaway camp. After five days apart, I picked her up, and we were both filled with the emotion of reunion. As we approached the familiar stretch of road, I asked her to look out the window. She peered out and let out a cry of longing, “Home. Home! HOME!”
Cora has lived at Stanford since she was 1, deeply connected to the land and its inhabitants: the coast live oaks she climbed, and the ant invasions in the campus kitchen. I once thought I was sharing Stanford with my daughter, but I later realized she was sharing it with me.
She has a good relationship with college students. She has joined their Halloween costume competitions and set up tables to sell her wares and homemade artwork. If you ever wonder about Gen Z, I can assure you that they are kind: They frequent little kids’ shops like there’s nowhere else they’ve got to be.
I, however, struggle to answer the question of where I am “from.” My parents and ancestors are Missourian, but I moved across multiple states as a child and more in adulthood. Where can I lay claim to I’ve now lived at Stanford a collective 13 years-longer than anywhere. Can I call it mine
When Cora cried out she was home, I was filled with a realization. Cora is from here. She knows no other place in this way, in the way that your body calls out for the land, in the way that the stretch of the road and the familiar trees signal to your subconscious to release and be enveloped by their welcome. Of course, none of us ever really owns the land on which we live — we are but travelers here. And yet this place grounds us, my daughter and me, in a way no other place can, and it connects us to each other, and to all of you.
4．Why was Cora excited during the drive back to Stanford
A．She wanted to stay with her mother. B．She missed the students at Stanford.
C．She was deeply attached to Stanford. D．She didn’t enjoy her stay in the camp.
5．What is Cora’s connection to Stanford’s land
A．She has memorable experiences there. B．She owns a small private garden there.
C．She helps maintain the local coast live oaks. D．She studies the small local wildlife regularly.
6．What can we learn about the author
A．She moved frequently when young. B．She has a strong hometown identity.
C．She was born and raised in Missouri. D．She has lived in Stanford for 10 years.
7．What is the best title for the text
A．The Mother-Daughter Bond B．The True Meaning of Home
C．A Summer Camp Adventure D．My Life on Stanford Campus
Plants produce chemicals called alkaloids (生物碱) to protect themselves from threats. People rely on alkaloids for pain relief and other medical treatments. Scientists want to better understand how plants create alkaloids so they can develop medicines faster, at lower cost, and with less harm to the environment.
Researchers from the University of York focused on Flueggea suffruticosa, a plant that produces securinine — a powerful type of alkaloid. They uncovered that the key gene responsible for making securinine is similar to genes typically found in bacteria rather than in plants. This finding suggests that plants may have adopted an unusual evolutionary strategy. Instead of relying only on traditional plant chemistry, they appear to reuse molecular (分子的) tools commonly seen in microbes (微生物) to build defensive chemicals.
Dr. Benjamin Lichman, the lead researcher, explained why the discovery stood out. “Plants and bacteria are really different forms of life, and so it was a surprise to see that this significant plant chemical was being driven from a bacterial-like gene. We believe plants ‘recycle’ biological tools that are more commonly found in microbes, when they can be useful to them.” Once the researchers recognized this new chemical pathway, they began finding similar genes hidden within the DNA of many other plants. These plant genes could be used to produce valuable chemicals in laboratory settings, which would reduce the need to harvest rare plants.
Dr. Lichman noted that alkaloids could be poisonous, so they have to be highly controlled and often modified when used in medicines. He emphasized, “Understanding the process of creating alkaloids can help us develop new methods for producing them in the lab or removing them to make some plants less poisonous. Now that we know how to look for this chemical production, we have new methods to explore for the production and discovery of safe medications.”
8．What is a finding of the researchers about the gene producing securinine
A．It evolves in a regular pattern. B．It is more like bacterial genes.
C．It defends plants from bacteria. D．It exists widely in common plants.
9．What can we infer from the discovery in paragraph 3
A．Rare plants contains more alkaloids.
B．Plants produce chemicals from microbes.
C．Bacterial-like genes may exist in many plants.
D．Biological tools are unique to certain microbes.
10．What does the author try to explain by quoting Lichman in the last paragraph
A．The practical value of the research.
B．The process of alkaloid production.
C．The challenges of lab-made chemicals.
D．The complexity of medical exploration.
11．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A popular science magazine. B．A guide on plant identification.
C．A textbook for medical students. D．A research paper on microbiology.
“Memory editing” sounds dark, bringing to mind threatening visions of erased histories or implanted lies. But in the lab, the reality is gentler and far more hopeful. The discovery of the ability to edit memory itself is teaching us how to heal the brain from within, including how to weaken wounding recollections, strengthen declining ones and rebalance emotions our memories carry.
Over the past decade, this work has revealed three principles. First, memories are malleable (可塑的) when being stored, recalled and restored. Second, they are distributed across the brain rather than in one region. Third, they can be artificially imprinted into the brain. Each principle reframes what “memory editing” really means.
When we form a memory, brain cells fire together and strengthen connections. That process can be enhanced or weakened with different patterns of stimulation. Drugs, hormones or even a bit of sugar can enhance the brain’s ability to stabilise new experiences. The same idea works in reverse. Overstimulate memory pathways, and a memory’s strength declines; block the molecules (分子) that strengthen connections, and it weakens more.
Because memories are spread across the brain, they are also remarkably resilient. Damage to one region rarely deletes an entire experience. Instead, the brain can reroute access through alternate pathways and call upon multiple “drafts” of the memory. This backup system offers hope for treating Alzheimer’s: if we can strengthen undamaged routes to a memory, we may repair pieces of identity once thought lost. Memory editing, then, isn’t about rewriting who we are — it is about giving the brain new paths back to itself.
While the idea raises ethical concerns as every major medical advance once did, the goal of our work is to reduce suffering and thereby improve our collective well-being: to help an ex-soldier loosen his hold on a flashback or someone with Alzheimer’s hold on to loved ones’ names.
Learning to reshape memory responsibly helps us heal, and the brain already edits memories every time we revisit them. Science today is simply learning the rules.
12．What can we learn about memory editing from Paragraph 1
A．It erases unwanted histories and lies. B．It offers potential for brain healing.
C．It facilitates painful recollection. D．It controls emotional memories.
13．What can enhance a memory’s strength
A．Blocking the molecules that stabilise memories. B．Reducing the stimulation to brain regions.
C．Reinforcing the links between brain cells. D．Shortening the time of brain cells firing.
14．The underlined word “resilient” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “______”.
A．hard to awaken B．limited in function C．flexible in structure D．not easily destroyed
15．What is the author’s attitude towards memory editing research
A．Unconcerned. B．Neutral. C．Doubtful. D．Favorable.

“Vacation at last!” Meg said excitedly, coming home to find Jo lying on the sofa. “What will you do with your vacation ” Meg asked. “Sit in the apple tree and read!” Jo replied. “I’ll stay in bed late and do nothing,” Meg said.
Then they begged their mother, Mrs. March, to allow them to spend a whole week doing whatever they wanted — and she agreed with a gentle smile, saying they could try this experiment for a week.
The next morning, Meg got up at ten o’clock and ate breakfast alone. Jo read in the apple tree throughout the afternoon. That evening, they assured their mother that the experiment was going well. She smiled, said nothing, and did her work, keeping their home pleasant and running smoothly.
But as the days dragged on, the girls began to feel the impact. Meg became bored and started carelessly cutting and spoiling her dresses, trying to make them more fashionable. Jo read until her eyes ached and she was sick of books.
On Saturday morning, the girls woke up to find no breakfast and no sign of their mother. Meg hurried upstairs and soon came back, relieved yet slightly ashamed, telling her sister their mother was just exhausted, and would rest for the day. They would have to take care of themselves and handle all the housework and meals.
They made her a badly cooked breakfast, but she thanked them warmly anyway. Jo made lunch: she boiled the vegetables for too long, burnt the bread, and even put salt on the strawberries instead of sugar. Meg and Jo were then busy for the whole afternoon, tidying, cleaning, and doing groceries in the town.注意：

In the evening, Meg and Jo sat on the sofa, sighed and felt regretful. They talked about how silly they had been to waste the vacation doing nothing but idling away time. They realized their mother’s daily work was far from easy — keeping the house tidy and preparing meals took so much effort. Jo thought back to the burnt bread and the salted strawberries, and her face flushed with embarrassment. Jo apologized for being lazy, and Meg felt ashamed of spoiling her dresses. They made a promise to take good care of their mother and never be lazy again.
The next morning, the two girls got up with the first light. They quietly prepared a simple but delicious breakfast, cleaned the house carefully and watered the flowers. They even went to the garden to pick some fresh flowers to decorate the dining table. When Mrs. March woke up, she was surprised and moved. The girls told her they had learned their lesson. From then on, they no longer wasted time, but helped with housework and spent their vacation meaningfully.

“Vacation at last!” Meg said excitedly, coming home to find Jo lying on the sofa. “What will you do with your vacation ” Meg asked. “Sit in the apple tree and read!” Jo replied. “I’ll stay in bed late and do nothing,” Meg said.
Then they begged their mother, Mrs. March, to allow them to spend a whole week doing whatever they wanted — and she agreed with a gentle smile, saying they could try this experiment for a week.
The next morning, Meg got up at ten o’clock and ate breakfast alone. Jo read in the apple tree throughout the afternoon. That evening, they assured their mother that the experiment was going well. She smiled, said nothing, and did her work, keeping their home pleasant and running smoothly.
But as the days dragged on, the girls began to feel the impact. Meg became bored and started carelessly cutting and spoiling her dresses, trying to make them more fashionable. Jo read until her eyes ached and she was sick of books.
On Saturday morning, the girls woke up to find no breakfast and no sign of their mother. Meg hurried upstairs and soon came back, relieved yet slightly ashamed, telling her sister their mother was just exhausted, and would rest for the day. They would have to take care of themselves and handle all the housework and meals.
They made her a badly cooked breakfast, but she thanked them warmly anyway. Jo made lunch: she boiled the vegetables for too long, burnt the bread, and even put salt on the strawberries instead of sugar. Meg and Jo were then busy for the whole afternoon, tidying, cleaning, and doing groceries in the town.注意：

In the evening, Meg and Jo sat on the sofa, sighed and felt regretful. They talked about how silly they had been to waste the vacation doing nothing but idling away time. They realized their mother’s daily work was far from easy — keeping the house tidy and preparing meals took so much effort. Jo thought back to the burnt bread and the salted strawberries, and her face flushed with embarrassment. Jo apologized for being lazy, and Meg felt ashamed of spoiling her dresses. They made a promise to take good care of their mother and never be lazy again.
The next morning, the two girls got up with the first light. They quietly prepared a simple but delicious breakfast, cleaned the house carefully and watered the flowers. They even went to the garden to pick some fresh flowers to decorate the dining table. When Mrs. March woke up, she was surprised and moved. The girls told her they had learned their lesson. From then on, they no longer wasted time, but helped with housework and spent their vacation meaningfully.
