Frances Stevens Reese Woodland Trail Guide
The Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October 21, 1997. Boscobel's Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of former Boscobel board member, Frances Stevens Reese (1917-2003), one year after his death.
The trail (小径) is approximately 10 miles in length, leading down to Constitution Forest. When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War, trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest, you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.
Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region. You will also find signs with historic and environmental information written by area specialists.
When you take a walk through this “undiscovered” forest land, please be a considerate guest.
1
◎Before walking the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House. Plan ahead, so you will be back by closing time.
◎Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of poison plants and snakes.
◎Leave rocks, plants, animals and art works where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.
◎Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail. If you happen to see a piece of litter, be a good guest and pick it up.
21. When was the trail named to honor Frances Stevens Reese?
A. In 1997
B. In 1917
C. In 2003
D. In 2004
22. What can you see along the trail?
A. An old battle field. C. Information signs.
B. A glass factory. D. Rock houses.
23. What should you do as a thoughtful visitor?
A. Leave the wildlife undisturbed. B. Throw the rubbish into the dustbins. C. Make reservations in the Carriage House. D. Protect the markers of the Woodland Trail.

Kevin, diagnosed with Dyslexia (读写困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “Yes,” “No,” or “Maybe,” in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth centre Kidpreneur.
In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that centre. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood -- a low-income area in Sydney’s western suburbs -- and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.
At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences -- Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot-dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneur (创业) story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was
2
by his story and handed him some Bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all-time high.
The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot-dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after he delivered pubic speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.
All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.
24. What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?
A. To improve their test scores.
B. To create a hot-dog business. D. To be beneficial to the local area.

C
A woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It's extremely attractive and also memorable to the point that it has become a problem.
In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons
3
(资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibitions six-day run.
One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it have a bad time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland.” Yet a lot of people do, and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says, “we would risk becoming irrelevant.” 28. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?
A. To get her phone.
B. To take a photo.
C. To escape the crowd. D. To push ahead.
29. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?
A. By setting periods without photo-taking. B. By making the exhibition free of charge. C. By compromising with the government. D. By extending the free exhibition hours.
30. The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may ________ ?
A. uncover the truth
B. play a negative role
C. accumulate evidence D. cause many complaints
31. Which of the following may Linda Butler support?
A. Catering to visitors.
B. Reducing admission prices.
D. Banning social media and photography.
D
Most autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate (导航) by using 3-D map marking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have been mapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now have developed a new navigation system
C. Reserving judgment in public.

that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.
The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor (激光感应器), to measure how close it is to the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also follows a tool like a smart phone map app that provides directions to its destination, as well as information about the rules of the road, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test-drove a can equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.
This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover in-road obstacles (障碍) says Ort. The researchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads. “Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions.” says Alexander Wyglinski, an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “Since laser sensors don' t work well in rain or snow, these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather.” 32. What may be a problem for most driverless cars?
A. They fail in test-driving. C. They run in limited areas.
B. Their maps are out-dated. D. Their guides are unreliable.
33. What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?
A. It includes accurate maps.
B. It removes in-road obstacles. D. It features a smart phone app.
C. It works by detecting the road. 34. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To confirm the test-rive results. B. To indicate further research areas.
C. To recognize scientists’ achievements. D. To show the creativity of driverless cars. 35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads. B. Navigating self-driving cars may work in different conditions. C. Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of self-driving cars.
