Stepping Out Into Nature
The classic road trip is more popular than ever. Here are several places to hit the open road.
Colo-road Trips
The Colorado Tourism Office has made it easy for road-trippers to explore the state’s 24 Scenic & Historic
Byways.A new microsite includes-an interactive map that enables travelers to explore options by region, interest
or season. Travelers seeking inspiration can also access insider tips and side-trip suggestions for historic attractions,
active adventures and highlight cultural opportunities.
TheBeartooth Highway.
Visitors of this extraordinary byway experience the grand sights ofMontana,WyomingandYellowstonePark.
The windy 68-mile stretch introduces road explorers to one of the most diverse ecosystems accessible by auto.
Breathtakingly beautiful, this All-American Road showcases wide, high alpine plateaus（高原）, painted with ice
blue lakes, forested valleys, waterfalls and wildlife.
SewardHighway,Alaska
The road that connectsAnchorageto Seward is 127-mile treasure of natural beauty, wildlife and stories of
adventure. The drive begins at the base of theChugach Mountains, hugs the scenic shores of Turnagain Arm and
winds through gold mining towns, national forests and fishing villages. Expect waterfalls, glaciers, eagles and some
good bear stories.
The Lighthouse Trail,Maine
Travel the 375 miles betweenKitteryandCalais,Maine, visiting lighthouses along the way. Hear tales of
shipwrecks（海难）and of the difficult and lonely life led by those who kept the lights burning brightly. If possible,
visit theMaineLighthouseMuseum. where artifacts and hands-on exhibits for children provide an appealing break.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (麻省理工学院) have turned spider webs into
music——creating an strange soundtrack that could help them better understand how the spiders output their
complex creations and even how they communicate.
The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2D (two- dimensional) laser (激光)
scans of a spider web, which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate the
web in 3Din VR (virtual reality). They also worked with MIT’s music department to create the virtual instrument.
“Even though the web looks really random (随机)，there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can
visualize (可视化) them and you can look at them, but it’s really hard to grasp for the human imagination or
human brain to understand all these structural details,” said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler, who
presented the work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural
changes and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world, he told CNN. “Spiders use vibrations (振动) as a way
to locate themselves, to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would
experience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,” Buehler said.
Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having a better idea of how they work
could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques. “The reason why I did that is I wanted to
be able to get information really from the spider world, which is very weird and mysterious,” Buehler explained. In
addition to the scientific value, Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds
the spider creates during construction. “It’s unusual and eerie and scary, but finally beautiful.” he described.
4. What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?
A. They have translated spider webs into sounds.
B. They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.
C. They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.
D. They have known how spiders communicate.
5. What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3? A. Their structures are beautiful and clear.
B. Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.
C. The American Chemical Society presents the result.
