【題目】No matter where you live or how you define yourself, these are some of the best activities to get in touch with nature.

Hiking

One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old hike. Hiking generally doesn’t require any special equipment or special skills; just a good pair of boots, a map, and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it. Suggestion: consider doing a little advance research on Trails.com or EveryTrail.com.

Backcountry Camping

Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping bag, food,and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wildness. Many parks require backpackers to obtain permits, so make sure to register and map your route before stepping on the trail.

Mountain and Road Biking

Unlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther while still being in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren’t suited for a rocky path, consider taking a road bike or a hybrid on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.

1What is especially suggested before hiking?

A. Having a new pair of boots.

B. Having a map.

C. Having a thirst for adventure.

D. Doing some advance research on the websites.

2Which of the following items is NOT necessary when taking backcountry camping according to the passage?

A. A tent. B. A cell phone.

C. Food. D. Some water.

3What is the typical character of the mountain biking?

A. You have to get permits.

While I was watching over the fire, Ned brought more plants, 4 were put in the water and then slowly thrown into the fire. The wet leaves created a lot of smoke.

【題目】閱讀理解
When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (團結(jié)). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing oneperson. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.

【題目】For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.

Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year buying things through those channels.

In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.

Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of buying things. They call teleshopping ‘‘junk on the air”. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they don’t believe they can be sure about the quality of the things on TV.

The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

1Teleshopping is ________ in Europe.

A. popular B. growing C. cheap D. not possible

2People like teleshopping because it is ________.

A. easier B. cheaper C. more popular D. more interesting

3Some Europeans don’t like teleshopping because they ________.

A. don’t like to buy things

B. believe the things sold on TV are expensive

C. think the things sold on TV are of bad quality

D. don’t like watching TV

4What would be the best title of this passage?

A. American Teleshopping B. Teleshopping Companies

C. Teleshopping in Europe D. teleshopping—Junk on the Air
