Hiking can be a pleasant as well as a not so pleasant adventure. You will have to take a number of measures so that your hike is a pleasant experience.

Hiking Tip 1 — Start Early

Most hiking experts hold the opinion that it is rather sensible to start hiking at 3 or 4 in the morning, even if it is a full-day hike. Since most hikes are conducted at high altitudes, starting off early will make sure that you are back down during the afternoon hours.

Hiking Tip 2 — Be Light

Since we are anyway talking about the load you will carry, another important hiking tip is to carry fewer loads. If you are going on a hiking trail on a familiar path, you will need reduced survival items, as chance that you will get lost or hurt yourself on these hiking trails is little.

Hiking Tip 3 — Reduce the Number of Breaks

Once you start your hike, you should make sure you do not take too many breaks. You will need to maintain a consistent speed and minimize the number of stops which you take. Speed and rest stops help distinguish an inexperienced hiker from an expert hiker. An inexperienced hiker will have bursts of speed and energy and it will be followed by rest stops. This results in slowing down the general speed.

Hiking Tip 4 — Tip for Children

Do you plan to take your kids along with you on the hiking trail? Well, then you must be looking for hiking tips for kids! You will have to educate them about nature and also get them into an exercise routine before taking them on a hike. Kids have a tendency to run in the beginning. This exhausts them and they have to be carried, which is certainly not the best of ideas.

1.You are advised to start hiking early in order to ________.

A. finish your hiking in a day

B. enjoy your hiking completely

C. avoid getting tired

D. get back down early

2.What should you do if you are going hiking on an unfamiliar trail?

A. Carry enough survival items.

B. Keep a high speed.

C. Start hiking in the afternoon.

D. Carry fewer loads.

3.According to the text, inexperienced hikers ________.

A. don’t keep a consistent speed

B. will easily get lost

C. choose well-established paths

D. don’t stop to rest

4.If you want to take a kid for hiking, you should ________.

A. make sure of his safety

B. prepare him for it

C. educate him about hiking

D. give him some tips

Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678, 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.

All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3, 500, 000 tons. The waste includes bags,bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.

The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert,with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.

In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink.

The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.

Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier,another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.

In August,2009,a team from the University of California,San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.

1.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?

A. By giving an example.B. By listing the facts.

C. By telling a story.D. By giving a comparison.

2.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?

A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.

B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.

C. It lies l60, 000 kilometers east of California.

D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.

3.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?

A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.

B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.

C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific

D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.

4.The purpose of writing this passage is to ____________.

A. warn people of the danger to travel in the pacific

B. analyze what caused the waste patch in the pacific

C. give advice on how to recycle waste in the ocean

D. introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch

Christine Lagarde has a pretty big job. The 57-year-old French woman is the Managing Director of the IMF(International Monetary Fund) and she’s the first woman in history to hold the position. So, what are her tips for success?

Travel

“Travel the world. 1. ”That’s the first piece of advice Christine gave to business students at a recent conference. Although Christine is French, she spent time studying and working in the United States.

Of course, you don’t have to live overseas to do well in business. But simply going on holiday to new countries will benefit you a lot.

Preparation

There’s a saying in English: “If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.” Christine makes sure she’s ready for whatever challenges lie ahead. To get the IMF job, she studied hard and prepared adequately. 2.

English

English is the international language of business. If you have a strong command of English, you’re more likely to get a good job or be promoted. Christine has an excellent level of English. 3. So, read in English as much as possible, and watch English-language TV series, movies with subtitles(字幕) and listen to English music.

Health

Christine is known for her stamina(耐力). Whether they’re all-night negotiations or long, boring meetings, she just keeps on going. 4. By staying fit. She told reporters that staying in shape is extremely important for achieving success. Christine jogs, swims and cycles whenever possible.

Problems

“When everything is going wrong, just grit your teeth(咬緊牙關(guān)) and smile.” That was the piece of advice that Christine’s swimming coach gave her many years ago. 5.

A. How does she do it?

B. Be citizens of the world.

C. And, of course, she got the job.

D. It has certainly helped her get to where she is today.

E. She was busy at the time as the French Minister of Finance.

F. Remember that success is not an objective that you will one day reach.

G. So even when nothing is going your way, remember to stay positive and keep going!

When I was 10,once my parents were away on business,but I had to stay at home alone for a day. I got up early in the morning,thinking about different activity I could do. The first idea was that I could play computer games all through the day without blamed by my mother. Minutes later,I said to me,“Why don't I do something meaningful?” So I planned to cook the meal for my parents. I tried to recall how my mother usually did in the kitchen and arrange everything on my own. With a whole day's effort,I finally made it. I felt it very happy when I saw my parents eating the meal cheerful. They couldn't help say that their son had grown up.
