Winter Adventures Await in the Canadian Rockies
Alberta is the top destination for the outdoor wonderland experiences and the chilly winter is the
hottest season of the year for you to adventure in the most beautiful, magical,powerful places on the
planet and keeps you coming back.Here are tips for experiencing some of the best adventures winter
has to offer in Alberta.
Hit the slopes
Set deep in what's widely regarded as the world's most scenic ski area at Banff National Park,the
Lake Louise Ski Resort invites everyone from first-timers to advanced shredders to its 4,200 acres of
skiable area.
Climb a frozen waterfall
Jasper National Park,part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage site,has an area
of 6,759 square miles of mountains,glacial peaks and forests.Rivers lead to steep falls,which freeze
into ice climbs as early as October and valley climbs form just a month later.While experienced
climbers can cope with the frozen waterfalls without a guide,beginners need not shy away:basic
training courses are offered for free.
Blaze a trail in the snow
The Athabasca Glacier is an ancient relic among the massive Columbia Ice field.While it's
recommended to access the glacier only with an experienced guide,the area surrounding it offers
cross-country snowshoeing trails that lead to it.No matter your mode of transport,this area is one of
the darkest in Canada,which means the night sky provides a perfect backdrop for the dancing northern lights-so dress extra warm and struggle through the deep snow to glimpse one of nature's most
colorful wonders.
Hidden gem
The month-long Snow-Day festival takes over Banff National Park each January.Cultural and
sporting events,including ice carving and the Big Bear ski and rail competition,unfold throughout the
event,but the real treat comes at the start,when live music fills the streets during the party,and a beer
garden and ice fire pit keep the tourists warm.
The most splendid winter sunset can be seen throughout Alberta.As Mike Libecki,a National
Geographic Adventurer of the Year,says,Alberta is one that keeps him coming back.

A few years back I worked in a university building that also housed an entire department full
of psychologists,all of whom seemed to see us as perfect guinea pigs( 实 验 对 象 ） for their latest
studies.I learned to be cautious about answering seemingly casual questions in the elevator.If one of
them showed up in my office bearing a plate of snacks and asked me to pick some,I'd cast a doubtful
glance and ask "Why?" before grabbing the apple fritter.
So one day,when someone from the Psychology Department posted instructions in the bathroom
advising us to think about five things you're grateful for every day for a week,my response was
frankly suspicious.I did the math.Five things a day for seven days is a lot of brainpower to consume
without so much as the promise of an apple fritter.
I wandered into the office of Zetzer,the director of our school's Psychological Services
Clinic.That was when I first heard the term"positive psychology" and discovered that＂the gratitude
thing",as Heidi had explained it."It's only a week,"she urged."Try it.” So I did.
I started looking for my five moments of gratitude in each day.By the end of that week,I found
myself slowing down a little and taking time to notice things I might have walked past
before,including a bunch of young students laughing together,They are so smart and optimistic,giving
me so much hope for the future!I couldn't be more grateful to my wonderful husband.He's a great cook.He always puts our family
first.My oldest son took his vacation to come and help out at home.He took me to all my medical
appointments,and made me laugh by titling his spring break＂Driving Miss Leslie."The kindness of a
colleague with a green thumb made sure my plants stayed alive until I could care for them again.
Life will never be perfect,I still see news stories that distress me.But with just one simple
exercise,I'm rediscovering the deep meaning of old sayings:accepting the things I cannot
change,working to change what I can,and being wise enough to know the difference.
And all it took was a little gratitude.
5.Why did the author hesitate about the snacks offered by psychologists?
A.She had no appetite for snacks.
B.She didn't think snacks could show gratitude.
C.She disliked those psychologists.
D.She cared about what to be paid for them.
6.What can we infer from the second paragraph of the passage?
A.The instructions seemed to make sense to Leslie.
B.No one would behave as the instructions suggested.
C.Leslie had no intention of following the instructions.
D.The psychologists were actually playing a joke.
7.What did Leslie achieve at last?
A.She overcame her psychological problem.
B.She realized how hard it was to be grateful.
C.She found Heidi was really a reliable doctor.
D.She learned to be positive and show gratitude.
C
As doctors performed surgery on Dagmar Turner's brain,the sound of a violin filled the operating
room.The music came from the patient on the operating table.In a video from the surgery,the violinist
was moving her bow(琴弓）up and down as surgeons behind a plastic sheet worked to remove her
brain tumor( 肿 瘤 ） 。 The King's College Hospital surgeons woke her up in the middle of the
operation in order to ensure they did not damage parts of the brain necessary for playing the violin and
keep her hand's functions intact.
Turner,53,learned that she had a slow-growing tumor.Later doctors found that it had become
more aggressive and the violinist decided to have surgery to remove it.Turner recalled doctors telling
her,"Your tumor is on the right-hand side,so it will not affect your right hand,it will affect your left
hand."Staring down at her left hand,she said,“This is my most important part.My job these days is
playing the violin,which is my passion.”
＂We knew how important the violin is to Turner,so it was vital that we preserved function in the
delicate areas of her brain that allowed her to play,"Keyoumars Ashkan,a doctor at King's College
Hospital,said in a press release.
Before Turner's operation,Ashkan and his colleagues spent two hours carefully mapping her
brain to identify areas that were active when she played the violin and those controlling language and movement.Waking her up during surgery then allowed doctors to monitor whether those parts were
suffering damage.The surgery was a success. Ashkan said,"We managed to remove over 90 percent of
the tumour,including all areas suspicious of aggressive activity,while retaining full function of her left
hand."
Brad Mahon,expert at Carnegie Mellon University,said the basic features of an "awake
craniotomy"-the type of brain surgery where patients are awake in order to avoid damage to critical
brain areas--have remained largely unchanged for decades.For example,doctors have long used simple
tests such as asking a patient to name what they're seeing in pictures to make sure language ability is
preserved.
But he said that doctors are now able to map the patient's brain activity in great detail before the
surgery,using an imaging technique called functional MRI.That means surgeons are coming into the
operating room with tar more information about a specific patient's brain.That kind of information
helps doctors tailor tests to a patient's particular needs.
8.What does the underlined word“intact"mean in the first paragraph?
A.strong B. sound C.talented D.influential
9.Why did Ashkan and his colleagues map Turner's brain before operation?
A.To keep her brain more active when she played the violin.
B.To monitor whether her brain had suffered damage severely.
C.To recognize the areas related to music and movement precisely.
D.To remove the tumor while keeping all function of her brain.
10.What can we know according to Brad Mahon?
A.Doctors are using an imaging technique to monitor the surgery.
B.Patients are asleep to protect critical brain areas in a surgery.
C.A patient's language ability couldn't be preserved before.
D.Surgeons can personalize a patient's operation by mapping his brain.
11.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Musician joined in her own brain surgery
B.Mapping a brain is realized after surgery
C.The violinist suffers from a brain tumor
D.Doctors perform surgery on a brain
D
There has been a lot of such news lately.As far as the problems with today's schools are
concerned,we can go back to how our culture has evolved.
In general,our culture,as represented in the media,gets excited by famous stars, and stresses that
it's what you have,not what you are,that counts. Parents are encouraged to be away from even very
small children for most of the day.Too many people vote for politicians who would rather cut school
funding than stop tax cuts for the wealthy.All contribute greatly to the problems of educating our
children.
Today's teachers have to deal with a culture that is vastly different than in the past.They report
that there is,among more children than ever,a lack of motivation,no drive to succeed or even try.In the
media,the role models that boys see mostly consist of men in comedies and other shows,who are rude
and often extremely childish;self-centered overpaid athletes;men in movies,television or video games,who are violent and powerful.As Leonard Sax wrote in Boys Adrift,"Teenage boys are looking
for models of mature adulthood,but we no longer make any collective effort to provide such models."
Girls are attacked not only with such annoying images of males,but also with women who are
extremely materialistic.
In such a cultural environment,it is more important than ever to have responsible parents who
are devoted to their children and see to it as their duty to model for them and raise them with high
standards of honesty and responsibility.They need to care enough to see that their children are not
attacked with the rubbish that comes from movie,television and computer screens.
In today's culture,they are basically alone in this effort since,unfortunately,so much is working
against them.Until we,as a culture,face the truth about ourselves- that we are not providing adequately
for a great many of our children,as Jim Taylor titled his book"Your Children are Under Attack”。
12.What does"such news"in the beginning most probably involve?
A. Cultural evolution.
B.Financial risk from tax cuts.
C.Problems in education.
D.Social influence of the media.
13.What does today's culture bring to the children?
A.Narrow access to entertainment.
B.Poor social abilities.
C.Few materialistic models.
D.Too much negative effect.
14.What do parents have to do in today's culture?
A.Find more models for their children.
B.Keep their kids from the bad effect of the media.
C. Forbid their children to use computers.
D.Encourage their children to stay at school.
15.What is the author's attitude towards today's culture?
A.Indifferent. B.Ambiguous. C.Dissatisfied. D.Approving.

We know that a smart phone app can bring us a lot of benefits when we learn another
language.16 Many of us have to endure hours of school lessons with our heads buried in textbooks.It's
no wonder then that technology appears to be providing a better way of learning.
Having a smartphone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go, and there
is certainly a huge demand for language learning apps.Many app developers are keen to cash in on the
demand,hoping to share a piece of the app market.17 One of many popular apps,Duolingo,offers 91
courses in 30 languages and has more than 300 million users.18 They offer languages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes,or at most
universities.And others offer' invented' language courses in Esperanto,Elvish and Star Trek's Klingon-
lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom.Whatever you want to learn,apps allow you to go
at your own pace and fit learning around other commitments.But they're not perfect-you might not get
your head round the grammar.Lacking the peer support you could get in a classroom environment is a
challenge,too.
So,does technology spell the end of traditional classrooms and teachers?Guy Baron, head of
modern languages at Aberystwyth University,thinks not.He told the BBC that the apps are very
conversational...they're not designed for degrees,but they could be additional resources.19
Certainly technology is going to help in and outside the classroom.But motivation can be a
problem when using an app.20 Of course,if you have a genuine reason to learn another language,you
will no doubt stick with it.
A.There are numerous learning apps available.
B.Some educational apps are targeted at specific small groups.
C.A coming message may easily get distracted from your online lessons.
D.The content may be not what you really want and it is quite a waste of time.
E. Apps should be used alongside classroom methods,not separated from traditional teaching.
F.It opens doors,makes you more employable,helps you make new friends,and it's fun too.
G.Attending a real lesson,facing a real teacher,probably helps you to be more devoted.

There he was,turning the corner of Hawley and Main Street like clockwork.His red hair seemed

The Budj Bim Cultural Landscape has long been regarded as a wonder of ancient
engineering.The water system in Australia 36 (build)more than 6,000 years ago- long before even the
Egyptian pyramids took shape.
Ancient inhabitants of the region made the system of channels and dams as an 37 （
extraordinary)complex trap for the eels( 鳗 鱼 ） that locals depended on for food.Budj Bim was
recognized as 38 World Heritage site today,but few suspected the system ran so far and so deep.
In fact,it took a disaster for Budj Bim 39 (reveal)itself in all its former glory. Bushfires,40
(spark)by record temperatures and lasting drought,have burned away the thick leaves covering the
water system,41 (allow)the full scale of Budj Bim to emerge from the flames.
The Egyptian pyramids were made with materials that were plentiful nearby,and 42 was Budj
Bim.It was made with the area's most ready resource:volcanic rock. That building block came from
the lava of a now-inactive volcano, 43 the ancient people used to redirect waters from Lake Condah-
waters heavy with eels.
Now the Aboriginals still call parts of the area home,and their population44 （
decline)dramatically since Europeans arrived on the continent.But their 45 （achieve)stand the test of
time-even if it took a tragedy to reveal them. It's an important acknowledgement of the work their

They didn't let distance get in the way
Young adults,Julie Winokur and Ed Kashi were both glad,even eager,to leave their families
behind.It wasn't for a lack of love;they were just excited about making their own way."When I left for
college,on some level I thought,I don't care if I ever see my hometown again,"Kashi remembers.They
established careers, started a family, thousands of miles from their childhood homes.
But in 1999,everything changed.Tragedy struck in the midst of the work,when Kashi's mother
unexpectedly died in the house where she'd lived alone.Though Kashi's brother lived nearby and
visited her now and then,it was ten days before he found her.
＂I couldn't stop myself from crying,"recalls Kashi."All I could think of was the sadness of her
life,of dying alone.”
"We get to go wherever we want and be whoever we want to be in this country,"adds
Winokur."The downside is that you break roots,and when you need the continuity that you get when
you live in one place your whole life,you don't have it."
So when Winokur's 80-year-old father,Herbie,showed early signs of dementia(老年 痴呆），the
couple decided to relocate their family to hometown and buy a house where he could live with them.Over the next few years,the couple worked,raised their children-Isabel and Eli,who were seven
and ten years old when their grandfather moved in-and cared for Winokur's father.
It was a frustrating,sometimes grief-filled,and ultimately deeply satisfying experience.Winokur
juggled working,parenting,managing the caregivers,and providing hands-on care for her
father.Kashi,who frequently had to travel for work,also joined in whenever he was at home.Winokur
remembers."For a couple of years,we felt like machines going through the motions just to keep it all
moving.”
