• 1．Activities to Get You Outdoors While Traveling
  Many of us would enjoy getting outside and escaping our day to day with some fresh air while traveling．But where do you start？Try out a few of these activities and you're sure to find a new outdoor hobby to help you enjoy nature on your next holiday．
     Horseback Riding
     Many people may shy away from this，excusing lack of experience with horses，but most operators have horses for riders of any experience including none if they meet the physical requirements．Horses can take you greater distances in a shorter time，covering areas that would be difficult or inaccessible otherwise．
     Fly-Fishing
     For an excuse to stand in a river enjoying the sounds，smells and scenery of some of the most beautiful places，try fly-fishing．Fishing is a perfect activity to enjoy with children，grandparents or whoever．With enough practice，you may even catch a delicious big fish．
     Cycling + Mountain Biking
     On the path or the road，spending time on a bike allows you to slow down and leisurely take in the scenery around you．Mountain biking can give you the biggest excitement，while road cycling may offer a more peaceful and calming experience．Travel with your bike or rent one at your travelling places，and your possibilities for exploration have already increased．
     Rock Climbing
     For a more physical and challenging experience outdoors，try your hand at rock climbing．You can get a feel for climbing in a gym，but its real rewards lie in putting those skills to use outside．Many popular travel places have great climbing within a day trip distance．

• 2．Fresh off the biggest win of her short gymnastics career，16-year-old Morgan Hard and her coach，SIava Glazunov，landed at Philadelphia International Airport，headed to baggage claim and prepared for the hour-long drive home to Middletown，Delaware．It was a dull drill they'd performed hundreds of times before．
     She is that gymnast who competes wearing glasses．She is so petite （嬌?。?that she looks tiny standing next to other gymnasts．
     "No one is born perfect，" Hard says． "You will have imperfections．I hope more people see me and try to do sports or gymnastics with glasses．Nothing should stop you from doing something you are passionate about．"
     Hard was 11 months old when her mom，Sherri，adopted her from Wenzhou，China，and brought her to Middletown．When Morgan was 3，Sherri began signing her up for various sports-gymnastics，soccer，T-ball，dance．Because of her size，most sports were tough．But at gymnastics class，being tiny and flexible was a gift．By the fifth grade，her talent had outgrown her classes，so Sherri brought her to First State．
     "She stood out from the start，" Glazounov says． "She exhibited that desire．She loves to impress and she wanted it always．No one ever had to tell her to work hard．"
     A single mom，Sherri worked as a dental hygienist for 30 years until retiring and taking a job for Discover Bank that allowed her to work from home，support her daughter's home-schooling and help her daughter's gymnastics career．
     "Who would have known when I went to get that little girl in China what was going to happen，" Sherri says． "This is our life now，but that is what I want for her，a life that is as fulfilling and happy as possible．"

• 3．We all know that regular exercise is good for us．In recent years we've been told to aim to walk 10，000 steps a day to remain healthy，although other advice to do three 10-minute walks a day is thought to be even more effective．But the latest piece of research might put a spring in your step if you're someone who walks at a fast pace．That's because，according to scientists，the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains，as well as their bodies，are ageing．
     The BBC's Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1，000 people from New Zealand born in the 1970s found that slower walkers tended to show signs of "accelerated ageing"．Their lungs，teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those who walked faster．And to add insult to injury，the study found not only did slower walkers' bodies age more quickly，their faces looked older and they had smaller brains．Professor Terrie，lead author of the study，told the BBC： "It found that a slow walk is a problem sign decades before old age．"
     This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace who might feel it's time to work out and get fitter．But it might be too late；researchers say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence，language and motor skills tests from when they were aged three．They also suggest that even in early life，there are signs showing which people will go on to have a healthier life．
     So，what's the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain？Well，researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age，and understanding what this might mean，could be a way of testing treatments to slow human ageing．This might help us make lifestyle changes while we're still young and healthy．Any steps we can take to prolong a good mental and physical state is a no brainer!
  
  （1）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．Walking and health．
  B．Slow walking and ageing．
  C．The way of slowing ageing．
  D．The standard walking pace．
  （2）What does the latest research show？

  
  A．Walking 10，000 steps a day helps keep fit．
  B．A slower walker is healthier than a faster walker．
  C．Slower walkers are easy to have slower brains．
  D．Ageing signs of slow walkers arise earlier than fast walkers．
  （3）What does the underlined words "wake-up call" refer to in paragraph 3？

  
  A．Challenge．
  B．Potential．
  C．Reminder．
  D．Solution．
  （4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Testing walking speed before old age makes sense．
  B．It's important to keep fit both physically and mentally．
  C．Walking pace is connected with health and ageing．
  D．Walking speed at a young age determines one's longevity．

      I was a mother of four children， working at a low-paid job． Money was always valuable， but we had a roof over our heads， food on the table， and clothes in the wardrobe． I always tell myself to be brave and strong． I hope all my efforts would be worthwhile， as long as my children can grow up healthily． It was Christmas time． We drove downtown to see the Christmas lights， and enjoyed a special dinner， but the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping at the mall． This was a tradition of my family， so they all looked forward to the coming of the season of goodwill． They talked and planned for weeks ahead of time， asking each other what they wanted for Christmas．
      The big day arrived and we started out early． I gave each of the four kids a twenty-dollar bill and asked them to search for gifts． Then everyone scattered （分散開） with the bill． I sat at a table in a cafe waiting for my children and enjoying an instant of silence． It must be a happy day．
      Back in the car driving home， everyone was excited about Christmas， laughing and asking each other about what they had bought． I noted Ginger， my younger daughter， had only one small and flat bag with her． I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars-fifty-cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty-dollar bill I had given her？ I was so angry． After getting home， I called her into my bedroom and closed the door． I couldn't hold back my anger and shouted at her， "What about the rest of the money？ No one would be convinced all these candies are worth 20 dollars． What do you want to do with the rest of the money？"
  Paragraph 1
      She was shocked at my reaction and burst into tears． _____________
  Paragraph 2
      My anger disappeared．__________
