26、When I was an eight-year-old girl, Mother told me to put my coat on because we were going to go somewhere special. Usually, that meant we were going to see someone important or that I would at least get a new toy. I asked which one it would be that day, and she told me that I would be getting something better than a toy. She said I would get “access to a world of toys”．

But we did not end up at any toy store. Nor did we finally see anyone we knew. Instead, Mother pulled her car at Marcy Public Library. Mother led me directly to the reception desk. “I’d like to get my daughter a library card,” she told the man behind the desk. He asked her to fill out a form and smiled at me. “What kind of books do you like?” he asked. I was too shy to reply then. I simply smiled back and shrugged my shoulders. “Well, you’ll figure it out in time” he said.

I do not remember what I checked out that first day, but I know that in the years that followed I read everything I could find of interest at that old library. I read through all the Nancy Drew books before advancing to Judy Blume, then the classics: Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Shakespeare. Then I read books on history, books of poetry, and books about art. The library opened up a world that I never knew existed.

So Mother was right. Getting a library card was like getting access to a world of toys.

27、A hotel that calls itself the world's first "polar bear hotel" has opened in northeastern China. The Polar Bear Hotel is part of the Harbin Polarland amusement park in Harbin, the capital and largest city in Heilongjiang province.

It opened earlier this month and promised that guests would be able to see live polar bears from all 21 guest rooms. "Whether you're eating, playing or sleeping, polar bears will keep you company," Harbin Polarland said in a statement on the WeChat messenger service. Photos and videos from Chinese state media showed people watching two polar bears in a closed, indoor space with artificial ice and small pools of water.

Yang Liu is a spokeswoman for Harbin Polarland. She told Reuters that the indoor area is the only part of the bears' total living space. She said they are also let outdoors when temperature and air quality permits. Liu added there has been "very high" interest in staying at the hotel, where rooms cost from about $ 290 to $ 351 a night.

But some animal rights activists have criticized the hotel. Jason Baker is vice president at animal rights group PETA. He told Reuters, "Polar bears belong in the Arctic, not in zoos or glass boxes in aquariums - and certainly not in hotels." He added, "Polar bears are active for up to 18 hours a day in nature，roaming home ranges that can scan thousands of miles, where they enjoy a real life."

In 2016, a shopping center in the southern city of Cuangzhou drew worldwide criticism after videos showed a polar bear named Pizza lying on her side in a glass-walled area.

Harbin Polarland was established in 2005. It calls itself the world's first polar performing arts amusement park.

【1】What makes the Polar Bear Hotel in Harbin unique?

B．Critical.

B．They can enjoy a happy life in glass boxes in aquariums.

C．They fall asleep in most of the time in nature.

D．The range of their activity can cover thousands of miles.

【4】From which is the text probably taken?

A．A science report.

B．A travel brochure.

C．A textbook.

D．A news report.

28、There is a photo in my collection that I pull out from time to time to remind myself of an old vacation. It’s a picture of me from the late 1970s on a bench in London’s Victoria Station, my head resting against a wall, eyes closed with tiredness, clothes messed up.

I used to love that shot. It was evidence of my leisure time, of travel, of interruption from the office: miles covered, sights seen, train stations raced through, goals achieved.

However, as I leave work to hit the vacation trail this summer, I take along something extra. This traveling companion has a habit of ruining trips with feelings of guilt—the guilt that comes from attempting to vacation while thinking of the job.

The conflict between the time we want off and the guilt we feel when we actually give in to leisure is a long-running battle that has gone too far, driven by an over-scheduling craze. It has made many feel as if their free moments are a form of truancy (玩忽职守).

It’s hard to take it easy when you’ve been programmed not to. We have been taught for generations that work is the only goal.

Time that is unfilled is evil, we are led to believe, and unplanned enjoyment should be avoided. This is reinforced today by a workplace culture that wants you to believe that advancement depends on your staying on the job.

Research now shows, however, that leisure time can do something job advancement and money can’t. Leisure activities increase your desire to work leadership skills, your sense of awareness and your ability to change. Free time also promotes a positive mood and sense of well-being, because it develops self-worth. Deep down, everyone knows we need time off to make our lives better.

On holiday, using your productive output as a measure of yourself doesn’t work. This is because a vacation isn’t about output; it’s about input — exploring, learning, reflecting. The magic of a holiday is in the experience itself. This is the same as life satisfaction; it can’t be measured, only felt.

The best part of a vacation isn’t going somewhere else; it’s being where you are, fully involved in the experience.

【1】The author mentions the photo at the beginning because ____.

A．it shows how exhausting leisure travel can be

B．it brings back good memories of a leisurely tour

C．it shows the writer once considered leisure travel as a goal in itself

D．it proves interruptions from the office do not spoil the enjoyment of travel

【2】What does the underlined phrase “this traveling companion” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Enjoying leisure time.

B．Thinking of one’s goals.

C．Interruptions from the office.

D．The feeling of guilt for not working.

【3】What is one of the main benefits of leisure time according to the article?

A．It improves your productivity.

B．It is good for personal development.

C．It leads directly to job advancement.

D．It helps you see your goals in life more clearly.

【4】According to the author, what should we do while on vacation?

A．Avoid much unplanned enjoyment.

B．Ignore job advancement and money.

C．Judge the vacation by productive output.

D．Enjoy the experience of being on vacation.

29、Cycling is a good form of sports, here are some tips on how to do it safely and comfortably.

【1】. Pushing with the wrong part of the foot can raise your risk of developing a painful injury of the heel, says Rob Werstine, a sports physiotherapist (理疗师) and board member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. You should push with the ball of your foot, he says.

Put on clothes. While it’s warm, wear layers of clothing, with clothing close to the body that breathes and outer layers that do not absorb water.【2】.

Be reasonable.【3】, don’t sign up for a 50-kilometre ride. And while cycling is great for people who want to get into shape, if your doctor advises you not to do tiring exercise for people who want to get into shape, if your doctor advises you not to do tiring exercise, cycling shouldn’t be your starting position, Werstine says. Walk to begin getting into shape and then graduate to cycling.

Fix the fit. If you develop lower back pain or numbness in your hands and fingers from cycling, it could because your bike isn’t adjusted properly for your height.【4】, but if you have continuing problems, consider consulting a bike fit physiotherapist, Werstine says.

Be mindful. You have to pay attention on the roads to vehicles, other cyclists and pedestrians.【5】. Or do some reading about how to avoid dangerous cycling situations, bicyclesafe.com, for instance, listing 10 types of car-bike accidents and how to avoid them.

A．Watch your feet

B．Ask experts for help

C．Stop there and let others pass by first

D．Go for bright colors that help you be seen

E．If you are just starting out and aren’t in good shape
