Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking(令人紧张的). I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasn’t the most athletic person, so I knew that I couldn’t stick through all the hiking up and down. It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.
The ride there was definitely long but worth it. As I woke up from my nap, I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams. The trails were made nicely for visitors. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts. Even though I fell a couple of times, I still had a lot of fun. The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together. The great thing about nature is that, it’s just you, the views, and the people around you. There’s nothing to bother you and it’s the best way to relax and enjoy yourself, Yosemite has 5 of the world’s highest
waterfalls, and about 300 lakes. The structure of each mountain is incredible; it’s formed in ways that almost take your breath away. Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking(窥探)out. It’s definitely something you wouldn’t want to miss.
Yosemite isn’t the only great national park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends. It’s a great time to bond, laugh, and take in what Mother Nature offers.

Many managers believe that overworking is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side. Still few others regard this custom as a threat to the workers’ work-life balance, which may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency.
Employees at Amsterdam design studio Heldergroen won’t be putting in much overtime. Not in the office, at any rate. That’s because every day at 6 pm, their desks, tables and other work surfaces, with their computers attached, are lifted to the ceiling by steel cables(钢索) normally used to move heavy props (道具)in theatrical productions. If you leave a half-eaten sandwich on your desk, you’re out of luck.
“Once the chairs and other workplace paraphernalia are cleared away, the space is free for everything and weekend use as a dance floor, yoga studio. . . or anything else you can think of—the floor is actually yours, ” director Sander Veenendaal said.
