26、   Cool places to stay for cycling adventures

From its dusty eastern reaches to its river valleys and lava flows, Oregon attracts adventure-hungry bicyclists. And the Oregon Scenic Bikeways program makes it easy to explore. So point your wheels down one of these routes chosen to highlight a variety of landscapes, skill levels and distances.

Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway

It's exciting: riding past fields of world-class hops, rolling along hills dotted with rows of wine grapes, leaning your bike outside a small cafe at a rural crossroads for a strong cup of coffee. The bounty of Oregon is on full display as you cycle the nation's first scenic bikeway, 134 miles down a river valley snaking between the Coast Range and Cascade Range.

Old West Scenic Bikeway

The 174-mile Old West Scenic Bikeway weaves through rangeland, along rushing rivers and toward an unending desert. And around these parts, folks are known for their put-your-feet-up hospitality.

Cascade Siskiyou Scenic Bikeway

This 55-mile route starts and ends in Ashland and includes 5,000 feet of climbing. From town, you climb through tropical grassland into deep forests. Stay in Ashland. Or turn the ride into an overnight ride and stay in a cabin in the woods.

McKenzie Pass Scenic Bikeway

This 38-mile route climbs through a forest to a 65-square-mile lava flow with 360-degree views of the Cascadian Volcanoes. The 25-mile, 4, 000-foot descent to the McKenzie River has brake-burning turns through the forest.

Professional tip: The McKenzie Highway is closed during the winter, but for several weeks before it opens to cars in the spring, the road is only managed for non-motorized use.

27、Race walkers use very specific techniques in order to be able to walk very fast while maintaining contact with the ground with at least one foot. Race walkers are careful not to make some mistakes that break the rules.【1】

Bending (弯曲) Knee

【2】The supporting leg must have its knee straight from the moment the supporting foot touches the ground. If you break this rule at a race walking competition, you will be disqualified.

Overstriding (步幅过大)

Overstriding, also called overstriking, is landing your supporting foot too far in front of your body.【3】Race walkers should concentrate on lengthening the stride in the back of the body for a powerful push forward while landing the front foot closer to the body.

Leaning (倾斜) Forward

A slight forward lean used to be taught by race walking coaches. This old technique shows a slight forward lean at the waist.【4】It is no longer taught by race walking coaches because many walkers bend forward more than it is recommended.

Leaning Backward

Some race walkers find themselves easily leaning backward.【5】A race walker must have kept a straight leg from the time when the forward foot contacts the ground. So it is not advised to lean backward.

A．This technique has proved to be ineffective.

28、   Christy and Ted Wilson set aside time every Sunday evening to go over their shared to-do list. Most of the items are tasks like scheduling doctor appointments and organizing play dates for their three young children.

In every relationship, there’s a question of who is pulling their weight around the house. Now that a majority of married-couple families have two working parents, the old “rough day at the office” excuse doesn’t really cut it.

Women still handle more of the household activities, but men increasingly are spending time on food preparation and cleanup. To keep things fair or at least to avoid fights, couples are turning to technology. They are using project management apps designed for the workplace to divide up and track household to-dos and reserving a portion of their date nights to compare chores. In some cases, they are even turning it into a game, setting rewards for getting things done.

The imbalance doesn’t always follow gender lines (性别界线). There was a time when Mr. Wilson was in more of a “Mr. Mom” role: He was attending business school, while Mrs. Wilson was clocking long hours as a lawyer. So Mr. Wilson had more flexibility to take on more of the child-care and household-management work. The couple’s roles changed after Mr. Wilson graduated and started an e-commerce company. “We have had a lot of switching back and forth of who was in the driver’s seat in terms of household management so one person wasn’t too put upon,” she said. They began using calendars to keep the family schedules straight and sharing a to-do list in the Notes app on their phones. Each can take on chores the other dislikes.

【1】What does the underlined part “pulling their weight around the house” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Taking on the household chores.

B．Sharing the burden of buying a house.

C．Running around the house to lose weight.

D．Making excuses for not doing any housework.

【2】Why does the couple turn to project management apps?

A．To stop their arguments over dates.

B．To play phone games with each other.

C．To distribute and follow household to-dos.

D．To reward themselves for doing the housework.

【3】What can we infer from the Wilsons’ example?

A．Gender plays a key role in management.

B．Understanding can help solve problems.

C．Couples need to switch their roles each day.

D．Digital apps can only handle household arguments.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．Ways to finish housework.

B．Advantages of the Notes app.

C．A family to-do list goes digital.

D．Working parents face difficulties.

29、   At 88, I remain a competitive runner. The finish line of my life is drawing close, and I hope to reach it having given the best of myself along the way. I’ve been training my body to meet the demands of this final stretch. But, I wonder, should I have asked more of my mind?

If I didn’t exercise, I would release the hungry beasts that seek their elderly prey on couches, but not in the gym. The more I sweated, the more likely it was my doctor would continue to say, “Keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll see you next year.” My mind, on the other hand, seems less willing to give in to discipline. I have tried Internet “brain games”, solving algebraic problems flashing past and changing the route of virtual trains to avoid crashes. But these never approach my determination to remain physically fit as I move deeper into old age.

Though I have many friends in their 70s, 80s and 90s, I’ve been far too slow to realize that how we respond to aging is a choice made in the mind, not in the gym. Some of my healthiest friends carry themselves as victims abused by time. Other friends, many, whose aching knees and hips are the least of their physical problems, find comfort in their ability to accept old age as just another stage of life to deal with. I would use the world “heroic” to describe the way they cope with aging.

One such friend recently called from a hospital to tell me a sudden brain disease had made him legally blind. He interrupted me as I began telling him how terribly sorry I was: “Bob, it could have been worse. I could have become dead instead of blind.”

In spite of all the time I spend lifting weights and exercising, I realized I lack the strength to have said those words. It suddenly struck me that I’ve paid a price for being a “gym rat”. If there is one characteristic common to friends who are aging with a graceful acceptance of life’s attacks, it is contentment. Aging had to be more than what I saw in a mirror.

But rather than undertaking a fundamental change in the way I face aging. I felt the place to begin would be to start small. A recent lunch provided a perfect example.

I’ve always found it extremely difficult to concentrate when I’m in a noisy setting. At this lunch with a friend in an outdoor restaurant, a landscaper began blowing leaves from underneath the bushes surrounding our table. Typically, after such a noisy interruption, I would have snapped, “let’s wait until he’s finished!. ”, then fallen silent. When the roar(吼叫)eventually faded, my roar would have drained(消耗)the conversation of any warmth. It troubled me that even a passing distraction(分心)could so easily take me from enjoying lunch with a good friend to a place that gave me no pleasure at all. I wanted this meal to be different.

My years in gyms had taught me to shake off pains and other distractions, never permitting them to stop my workout or run. I decided to treat the noise this way. I continued talking with my friend, challenging myself to hear the noise, but to hold it at a distance. The discipline was so familiar to me in the gym—this time applied to my mind— proved equally effective in the restaurant. It was as though I had taken my brain to a mental fitness center.

Learning to ignore a leaf blower’s roar hardly equips me to find contentment during my passage into ever-deeper old age. But I left the lunch feeling I had at least taken a small first step in changing behavior that stood in the way of that contentment.

Could I employ that same discipline to accept with dignity the unavoidable decline awaiting me like the finish line? Hoping that contentment will guide me as I make my way along the path yet to be travelled.

A．he feels unsatisfied with the result of the brain games.

B．he has never believed the necessity of mind training.

C．He has realized he should mentally prepare for aging.

D．he feels regret for not sharpening his thinking skills

【3】After that recent lunch, the author realized that ________.

A．he had made small changes to adapt to aging.

B．the restaurant was not an ideal place for eating

C．distractions were not uncommon in everything life.

D．his roar had spoiled the friendly conversation.

【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A．Benefits of Regular Exercise

B．Old Age Hate and Blessing

C．Never Too Old to Learn

D．The Secret to Aging Well
