Members volunteer to create and lead a variety of bicycle tours. Our club goes back over 40 years to the Bicycle Touring Society. We have a large number of members who have been with the club for many years. We enjoy the fellowship of exploring the world with our cycling friends on tours developed by club members for other members.Membership in BAC is open to experienced touring cyclists over 18 years old. The membership fee to join is $ 30 for an individual and $ 60 for a couple; renewal fees each year after that are $20 for individuals and $40 for couples and is due on the anniversary of your join date. Members that allow their membership to stop will need to rejoin the BAC at the full rate. Only BAC members can sign up for and participate in rides. New BAC members are required to have email access in order to receive club communications and to apply for club rides.Each rider brings his/her own bicycle or rents one suitable for the ride. The bicycle should be in good condition and each rider is responsible for performing his or her own bike maintenance (维护) as necessary. It is up to each participant to determine that he or she is able to do any ride for which they sign up.

What does this mean? I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused.I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better.I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon? The answer, to me, is clear: Klaatu Barada Nikto.24.What did the author probably meet with?A.Hearing loss.B.Cultural shock.C.A language barrier.D.A frightening robot.25.What makes the author fall behind in language?A.Learning needs.B.Teaching tasks.C.Age difference.D.Language abuse.26.What does the author think of language change?A.It is entirely avoidable.B.It is really small.C.It is verybeneficial.D.It is much too rapid.27.What does the underlined word “wanes” mean in the last paragraph?A.Lessens.B.Grows.C.Happens.D.Focuses.Recently, research on how a new virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) experience educated primary children about the fire disasters was done. It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safer in a fire.Focusing on children aged 10-12 years old, the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins to spread. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.The findings showed that more than 80 percent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly assess the situation and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. This isl especially important considering that 91 percent of participants originally lacked any knowledge of fires, and that 67 percent had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.The researchers believed such immersive (沉浸式的) VR experiences had real potential (潜力) to attract and educate the young. “As children born in digital times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment.” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide a chance for children to apply newly-acquired knowledge, strengthen their learnt concepts, and enable immediate reaction—all incredibly valuable learning tools.”Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. Yet theability for children to contribute to fire safety at their household should not be underestimated (低估).“Children do not need to be passively attacked by disasters and with purpose-built virtual reality experiences such as these, we can help children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber.28.How does the new VR experience try to educate children?A.By introducing a virtual friend to them.B.By finding the causes of a fire event.C.By letting them solve virtual problems.D.By guiding them to ask a dog for help. 29.What did the result of the research about VR experiences show?A.Many children found it hard to adapt to them.B.They helped children deal with fire postively.C.They benefited children with knowledge of animals.D.Most children had a misunderstanding about them.30.What is Weber’s attitude towards the new VR experiences?A.Doubtful.B.Indifferent.C.Disapproving.D.Supportive. 31.What can be the most suitable title for the text?A.VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire B.VR experiences make learning easier for kidsC.VR education appeals to the young generation D.VR technology makes no sense in fighting a fire.Dr. Degenaar came into the lecture room on the first Friday morning of the term and asked us to write down our own understanding of the “soul”. Here was the “teacher” asking us what we thought — it was really an exciting experience. He was not telling us what he thought but asking us how we saw something. The following discussion was interesting. That was my first experience of real learning in a classroom.Almost 50 years have passed since that experience. Of the other lecturers who “taught” me during that year, I remember they “taught” me the history of Greek philosophy (哲学), but I remember little of that history and nothing of those lecturers. And most of what I remember about Greek philosophy is what I learned in Dr. Degenaar’s class, for my own interest.I took further courses with Dr. Degenaar in the following years. Lake the first class, there was little “lecturing” at us, but far more involvement (参与) of us all in a process ofcommon discovery in which we learned a lot about each other and the key points of the day. The excitement of discovery stays with me. Then it took me almost another 20 years to get a deeper understanding of what had happened in that lecture hall: experiential learning.Traditionally, learners have been seen as “empty containers” waiting to be “filled” with learning given them by the teacher. The learner is, therefore, dependent on the teacher for what to think and how to think. Compliance (遵从) is rewarded and so independent and original thinking is not developed.In comparison, in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself/herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher. The learning happens not because of what a “teacher” or “lecturer” says but because of what the learner does. In this sense, I think this is the best way to learn and everyone should try it and learn from it. 32.Which word best describes the author’s first Greek philosophy class?A.Boring.B.Amazing.C.Confusing.D.Depressing. 33.Why does the author compare Dr. Degenaar and the other lecturers?A.To praise Dr. Degenaar’s attitude to his job.B.To stress Dr. Degenaar’s great influence on him.C.To point out Dr. Degenaar’s popularity among students.D.To show the author’s deep interest in Greek philosophy.34.How does experiential learning differ from traditional learning?A.It has no specific learning places.B.It applies knowledge to medical care.C.It encourages independent thinking.D.It focuses more on the result of learning. 35.What is the text mainly about?A.A respected teacher.B.A favorite university lesson.C.The factors of experiential learning.D.An effective learning method.There are so many ways to explore in regard to finding new happiness.
