TheBest Placeto Camp in Each State
Washington-SecondBeach, Olympic National Park
Campers put up their tents right on the sand of thisPacific Northwestbeach. Make a campfire, photograph sunset over the sea and try to absorb this charming spot with your entire being. Alaska-Bartlett Cove Campground, Glacier (冰川) Bay National Park
In a state full of natural riches,Glacier Bayis a wonder, home to high peaks, whales, 700 miles of coastline, and light blue glaciers that flow directly into the sea. Set within temperate rainforest along Bartlett Cove, the park's only campground is impressively green and an easy jumping-off point for boat tours. Arizona-Havasupai Campground, Havasupai Reservation
Getting to Havasupai is a challenge. Permits are snatched (剥夺) up almost instantly, and even if you get one it's a 10-mile hike from the border to reach this rural campground that hugs Havasu Creek. Make the journey, however, and you're rewarded with a series of great waterfalls and natural pools. Arkansas-BuffaloNationalRiver
America's first national river travels 135 miles through the Ozark Mountains, winding its way over rapids, forming peaceful pools and passing rocky cliffs topped by green forest. Plan a float trip and absorb the scenery at a leisurely pace, pausing for hikes to visitLostValley's caves or the 200-foot waterfalls. 1.Which state may attract people preferring glaciers? A.Alaska.

Learning to say “yes, and”
When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However,I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.
During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.
The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable andeven started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.
I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth findingout whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support a preconceived (先入为主的) story, but to say “yes, and.” 4. Why did the author attend the improvisation class? A. To get a different experience. B. To finish her Ph.D. at university.
C. To give up her job as a science communicator. D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability.
5. What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class? A. She formed her own idea quickly.
B. She came up with lots of creative responses. C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers. D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion.
6. The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to ______. A. explain the process of using the method B. prove the benefits of the improvisation class C. share her own research experiences with readers D. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class 7. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph? A. They should attend the improvisation class. B. They should question all preconceived ideas.
C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data. D. They should try to improve their professional knowledge.

Most teenagers are still trying to find their passion and purposes in life. However, not Gitanjali Rao. The 15-year-old girl has been coming up with innovative solutions to worldwide problems since she was ten. It is, therefore, not surprising that the teenager has won the honor of “America's Top Young Scientist”.
In the third grade, Rao was inspired to build a device after witnessing the shocking story unfold in Flint, Michigan, where cost-cutting measures led to the use of a polluted river as the city's primary water supply and incredibly high levels of lead made their way into people's drinking water.
After two months' research, Rao designed a small and portable device that used sensors to instantly detect lead in water. Called Tethys, after the Greek Goddess(女神) of freshwater, it attaches to a cellphone and informs the residents via an app if their drinking water contains lead. The design earned her the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2017. She is currently working with scientists and medical professionals to test Tethys' potential and hopes the device will be ready for commercial use by 2022.
Later, Rao took on another social issue-drug addiction. Her app, called Epione, which won the Health Pillar Prize at the TCS Ignite Innovation Student Challenge in May 2019, is designed to catch drug addiction in young adults before it's too late.
More recently, the teenager has developed an app named Kindly, which usesartificial intelligence technology to detect possible signs of cyberbullying(网上欺凌). When users type in a word or phrase, Kindly is able to pick it
up if it's bullying, and then it gives the option to edit it or send it the way it is. It gives them the chance to rethink what they are saying so that they know what to do next time.
All kinds of awesome, Gitanjali Rao has been selected from 5,000 equally impressive nominees(被提名人) for TIME Magazine's first-ever “Kid of the Year”.
8. What gave Rao the idea of inventing the device Tethys? A. The incident of lead pollution. B. The issue with drug addiction. C. The shortage of water supplies. D. The high cost of purifying water. 9. What is Rao expecting of Tethys? A. It'll remove metal from water. B. It'll make it to market soon. C. It'll win her a higher prize. D. It'll be fitted to cellphones. 10. What will Kindly allow users to do? A. Receive pre-warning signals of threat. B. Input words into a computer automatically. C. Choose from secure social networking sites. D. Weigh their words before posting them online.
11. Which of the following can best describe Gitanjali Rao as a young scientist? A. Ambitious and humble. B. Optimistic and adventurous. C. Talkative and outstanding. D. Creative and productive.
D
Henry Cavill: Bring Superman to Life
Henry Cavill knew that he wanted to be a star at 16 years of age, after a chance meeting with movie star Russell Crowe who inspired hispassion for acting. But for the British-born actor, the bright lights and attraction ofHollywoodwere a long way away. Supported by his secretary mother and stockbroker father, he decided to study drama during high school. His journey to super star began.
Before gaining the international recognition he has now, Cavill tried out for roles in the Harry Potter and Twilight series but failed to get either. He would have to keep waiting for his big chance.
Determined as ever, Cavill took any acting jobs he could get his hands on and appeared in several low-budget horror movies and TV shows in hopes of getting noticed. It almost worked. In the early 2000s, at just 22 years old, he narrowly missed out on becoming the new James Bond. Finally, in 2007, his hard work paid off.

More recently, he stepped back on to the small screen. Since 2019, he has starred in the popular seriesThe Witcher, adapted from the book series and video games of the same name. In the TV show, Cavill played a brave monster hunter named Geralt of Rivia, which was the perfect role for Cavill because he was a fan of the video games. Cavill also got a chance to play a classic English character — master detective Sherlock Holmes — in 2020'sEnola Holmes.
However, Cavill isn't just a good guy on screen. His charity work also makes him a real-life hero. In 2014, he took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge while wearing his full Superman suit to support the ALS Association. Currently, he is an ambassador for the UK's Royal Marines Charity, which supports war veterans (退伍军人). Why does he do it? He love to make people feel good and bring smiles to people' faces. Indeed, Henry Cavill in living proof that you don't always need to wear a cape (斗篷) to act like a hero. 12. Why did Cavil act in low-budget film and TV works early in his career? A. He was too polite to refuse. B. He was hoping to get noticed.
C. He was encouraged to do so by his parents. D. He was friends with the directors of the projects.
13. The role of the monster hunter was the perfect for Cavill because ________ . A. he had experienced hunting monsters B. he had played the same role in a movie C. he knew the writer of the books personally
D. he enjoyed the video games that the show was rooted in 14. Which of the following words can best describe Cavill? A. Modest and friendly. B. Determined and kind. C. Talented and faithful. D. Honest and considerate.
15. What made Cavill a real-life hero? A. Being a successful actor. B. Playing Superman on screen. C. Devoting to charities.

Self- esteem covers various beliefs about oneself (such as 'Tm a failure\" and \"I'm beautiful\") as well as physiological states, including sadness, joy, and shame. The more we believe that we are worthy of happiness and good things in life, the more self-fulfilled we will be. When we don't believe that we are worthy of these things, our ability to enjoy them can suffer.____16____
Healthy self-esteem as an adult can be a gift given in your childhood. It is a blessing that most people overlook.
