Dreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun? We’ve come up with 4 of the top picnic areas across the US.

Cumberland Islands, Georgia

A few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a picnic paradise. It’s an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trail. Covered in Spanish moss (苔藓), the trails are lined with trees and since it’s still a rural area, the stars line up for a spectacular show at night and creates the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.

Giant Park, Chicago

If you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20-day, lake-front, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.

Cranberry Islands, Maine

Here, you’ll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park. You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry service. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it’s a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.

Big Sur, California

The Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem. Besides the coastal wildlife there are rare plant communities, and unique geological (地质的) formations. It’s good to have a picnic there. We recommend bringing a telescope, because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance. 1. What do we know about Cumberland Islands? A. They are just next to Savannah. B. They haven’t lost their naturalness. C. They are almost covered in Spanish moss. D. They have an impressive show every night. 2. What is special to Cranberry Islands?

A. There is a great trail to hike along. B. They have unique geological formations. C. You can find a quiet place to enjoy fireworks. D. You can enjoy a romantic atmosphere there. 3. Where can you observe wildlife with a telescope? A. At the Navy Pier.

Mrs. Jones was my first patient when I started medical school — and I owe her a lot.

She was under my care for the first two years of my medical training, yet I knew very little about her, except that she was thin, perhaps in her mid 70s. It might seem rather negligent not to know the basic facts of my patient, but I had a valid reason — Mrs. Jones was dead, and had been dead for about three years before I made a patient of her. Mrs. Jones was the dead body that I dissected (解剖) over the first two years of my medical training.

Of course, her name wasn’t really Mrs. Jones, but it seemed a little impolite to be conducting research into someone’s body without even knowing its name, so out of courtesy, I thought she should have one. “Me and Mrs. Jones, we’ve got a thing going on.” went the song coming out of the radio as I unzipped the bag of her on my first day — and so she was christened (命名).

As the months passed, I soon forgot that Mrs. Jones had, in fact, once been alive. One day, though, she suddenly became very human again. I’d been dissecting Mrs. Jones a good 18 months before I got around to the uterus (子宫). After I’d removed it, the professor came up to me, “If you look at the opening carefully, you’ll see that the angle indicates that this woman has had several children, probably three.” I stared at it, and I suddenly felt very strange. This woman, who had given me something incredibly precious that I’d begun to take for granted, wasn’t a dead body. She was a person, a mother, in fact.

At my graduation, the same professor came over to congratulate me. I explained the story about Mrs. Jones to him, and recalled what he’d told me about her having children and how that had affected me all those years ago.

“Well,” he said, “at the beginning of your training you had a dead body and managed to turn it into a person. Now you’re a doctor, the trick is to have a person and not turn them into a dead body,” and he laughed, shook my hand and walked away.

4. What does the underlined word “negligent” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A Irresponsible. C. Regretful.

5. How did Mrs. Jones get her name?

A. She was named after the author’s favorite singer. B. It came from a song being played during their first meet. C. It was passed down from the seniors of the author’s school. D. It just occurred to the author when he opened the bag of her. 6. What could be the author’s feeling for Mrs Jones Now? A. Indifferent. C. Grateful.

B. Ashamed. D. Guilty.

.B. Pitiful. D. Miserable.

7. What did the professor imply by his words in the last paragraph? A. Medical students are able to bring the dead back to life. B. Good doctors never fail to save their patients from dying. C. Medical staff ought to have respect for life and humanity. D. Being a doctor has nothing to do with the medical training.

A long time ago, and still in some countries today, the dollar and penny did not even exist. Actually, trading a cow for two pigs is still the norm (常态) for many cultures. So how is it that we get to use paper and coins?

The biggest challenge for ancient cultures was to have a system that would allow people to exchange products with each other. However, the problem came up when one person was in need of something immediately that they didn’t have a product to trade. For example, a farmer that needed wheat only had fruit to exchange but the fruit wasn’t ready to hand over for another two months. This is what started the idea of a “common currency”. The farmer could buy what he needed with “currency” and just as important, the value of the goods he was exchanging was standardized. He did not have to worry about giving anything in return now or later; his deal was complete. Thus “money” was born.

Over time, each country has developed its own currency and something that might cost 1,000,000 lire in one country might be 1 dollar in the US currency. Most countries also frequently use powerful political people as the “face” of their currency. The US currency is the best example of this. Can you name all the presidents that currently appear on not only paper money but also coins?

The real excitement, however, is the future of how we buy things. People have started to use debit cards

(借记卡) that allow you to pay using your bank account rather than cash. That has given way to something called Mondex. Mondex allows you to “wave” your card past any special device that can read these cards. You no longer have to insert, swipe (刷) and then punch in numbers, which could cause security problems. 8. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To explain what money was like in history. C. To tell us that there was no money long ago.

D. To compare the difference between a cow and two pigs. 9. The farmer had an idea of using currency when ________. A. he had a product to exchange

C. he had nothing to trade for what he needed 10. Mondex is a kind of card which can ________. A. keep you safe if you are in trouble B. save you a large amount of money C. help you trade safely and conveniently D. make you happy whenever you are bored 11. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. The evolution of payment. C. The use of money in the world.

B. The trade in ancient times. D. New ways of payment. B. he had made a lot of money D. he would harvest his fruit

Abandoned around 900 years ago soon after its decoration started, Ta Keo (塔高寺) has been revived by Chinese and Cambodian experts.

The Angkor (吴哥窟) complex spreads over an area of 400 square kilometers. It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1992. However, due to heavy rains, stealing and lack of protection for centuries, most temples of Angkor were seriously damaged.

In order to better protect and conserve these pearls of human civilization, China joined ICC-Angkor, an international campaign launched by Cambodia and UNESCO in 1993. From Chausay Tevada to Ta Keo, the Chinese team has earned trust and established a good reputation.

“Its unfinished status shows the construction procedures of temples in Angkor. This gives Ta Keo irreplaceable value in the study of Angkor’s architecture,” said Jin Zhaoyu, an engineer from the CACH (中国文化遗产研究院).

Such uniqueness, however, presented greater challenges. Compared with Chausay Tevada, it covers a larger area and has more risks including unsteady stone structures, a poor drainage system and fallen key parts.

“Because the construction is unfinished, many fallen parts are not carved, leaving little information of its relations with other parts,” said Jin.

Jin showed archives of those fallen parts, each with its ID file, picture and dimensions. He said, “Every stone is unique. If one stone is in the wrong position, the gap will grow wider as you restore it and an accurate restoration will be impossible.”

To better understand the temple’s structure and precisely restore it, the team applied the most advanced technologies, including 3D laser scanning and mapping, structural research and drone recording, to build a complete digital model of Ta Keo.

Jin demonstrated the 3D model system, with which they restored the temple hundreds of times. “I can measure the dimensions of every stone and every gap in computer, and search the right stone that can fit in the gap,” Jin said.

This is much easier said than done. Dozens of Chinese experts from various fields worked together with Cambodian colleagues to overcome a string of obstacles. It took them eight years to restore Ta Keo. 12. What can we learn about the Angkor complex from the text? A. It has the largest size of its kind worldwide B. Its significance has been ignored for a long time C. It is in poor condition due to a variety of reasons D. It was abandoned because of its poor decoration 13. Why is Ta Keo so important in the field of architecture? A. It covers a very large area. C. It tells how the temple was built.

B. It has a history of over 900 years. D. It was on the World Heritage List.

14. What was the biggest challenge the Chinese team faced while restoring Ta Keo?

A. Knowing little about its structure. C. Serious damage it had suffered. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Hi-tech Applied to Restore Ta Keo

B. Building the 3D model system.

D. Cooperation with Cambodian colleagues.
