Whether it is a hike on a mountain trail or through the woods, an enjoyable hiking trip can easily turn into a dangerous situation if safety is not considered well. North Mountain State Park recommends hikers consider the following tips before hitting any trails:Make a copy of your itinerary to give to a family member or a friend. Make sure that someone close to you knows where you are and how long you will be gone.Wear a good pair of hiking boots or strong athletic shoes. The right shoes will keep you safe, warm, and comfortable.Prepare for various types of weather conditions. Check the forecast before you leave; takealong sunglasses and extra clothing (e.g., a hat and /or a jacket for a day hike).Pack plenty of food and water. Consider how long your hike will be and pack accordingly.Pack basic and necessary supplies. Bring a first-aid kit, a flashlight, a pocket knife, a map of the area (if available), and a compass. You may need other supplies, such as matches, depending on how long your hike will be.Determine what time the sun sets. This information is available in most local newspapers. Most people become lost after nightfall, so it is important to know this information.Stay on properly marked trails. Stay on established trails to decrease the chances of becoming lost. Staying on established trails also lowers the risk of doing harm to rare and endangered plants.Carry a whistle(哨子). Using a loud whistle is a good way to call attention to your location if you get lost.Keep an eye out for wildlife. Do not approach animals in the wild, even if they seem friendly.The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC) manages a diverse system of more than 120 parks. The 90-year-old park system, which receives nearly 48 million visits a year, ranks 4th nationally in day-use attendance, 10th in overnight attendance, and the WSPRC has a smaller budget than most states.21.

My father was an alcoholic, which resulted in an absolute mess in our family inc luding physical abuse in my parents’ marriage. I was five years old when my parents divorced. My mother worked day and night to support the family. This left me with a lot of time by myself. I never received any encouragement to try out for sports orafter-school activities. Because of this, I never really thought that I could do it. I thought that without a parent’s company, support and encouragement it was hard for a teen to set up structure for themselves. Had I experienced the love from both of my parents, I would have been able to learn how to make real friends and how to build confidence, teamwork and good decision-making skills.But that was not my reality. Reality was that I fell in with the wrong crowd. I made some bad friends. As I met more people who partied, took drugs and alcohol, I began to follow them. Before I knew it, all I cared about was how I was going to get high.My mom was angry and let me know how much I was letting her down but I didn’t know how to stop and I couldn’t picture my life without the drugs. I protected my using drugs at any cost. I was angry at her because it seemed as if I was not important to her. The one thing about my mom was that she did not give up. I not only needed treatment to fight my addiction, but needed help to remove what I had been carrying around for years. Professionals were able to help us heal together. They were able to help my mom learn how to push me when I needed drugs, and communicate with an angry teenager.We didn’t take the route that most m others and sons take in life, but we are proof that addiction doesn’t have to tear a family apart forever.24.

They found that part of the left side of the brain remained more active than the right side only on the first night, specifically during a deep sleep stage.“When you sleep in a new place for the first time, a part of one side of the brain seems to stay awake, so you could wake up fa ster if necessary,” said senior study author Yuka Sasaki of Brown University.While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added by email.To see how being in a strange place affects sleep, Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests on their subjects.When they stimulated（刺激）the left side of the brain with sounds in the right ear during deep sleep on the first night, that led to greater possibility of waking and faster action upon waking, than if sounds were played in the left ear to affect the right side of the brain. On the second night, there wasn’t any difference in reactions to tests between the left and right sides of the brain, even during deep sleep.This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one side of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude.One limitation of the new study is its focus on healthy volunteers, which means the results may not apply to people with sleep disorders, the authors note.While it’s possible that the findings may explain poor sleep among frequent travelers, the study wasn’t designed to test whether these “first night effects” continue to happen to people every time they hit the road, said Patrick Finan, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.28. If a man sleeps in a new place for the first time, ___________.A. he can’t fall into deep sleepB. his left side of the brain is highly activeC. he usually feels unsafeD. both sides of his brain are on alert29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The finding of the new study.B. The advice of the researchers.C. The process of measuring brain activity.D. The suffering of the volunteers.30. If people stay at a new place for more than one day, .A. they can wake faster on the second night than on the first night.B. there won’t be any difference to them on the second nig ht.C. they suffer from sleep disorders.D. the first night effects may not last.31. What is the problem of the new study? ________A. All of the volunteers are young.B. The finding may be false.C. None of the volunteers are sick.D. There are not enough volunteers.DDuring the past Spring Festival, many children may have received red packets from their families. But Xing Pu, a 40-year-old economist, is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success, help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption (消费) around the country.Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor (扶贫) and pro-rural (惠农) policies, including increasing spending on public healthcare and calling off the agricultural tax. But the lower-income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11-year high in prices and recent snowstorms.Xing said while making the draft, he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore. Earlier this year, the governments of the two nations offered money to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income. As for in China, "We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor," said Xing.Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet, many other economists criticized it as unpractical. Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation. But they agreed with Xing's point that the growingeconomic pie should be shared among the people."To better use the increase of money, handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy used in daily life," said QiaoXinsheng, an economic professor.32. Xing Pu suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese because ______.A. the poor should get help from the richB. the government should help the richC. the growing economic pie should be sharedD. the government doesn’t know how to use the money33. What has the government done to help the lower-income group?A. Spending less on public healthcare.B. Increasing the agricultural tax.C. Handing out money to every Chinese.D. Carrying out pro-poor policies.34. According to some experts, what is better than giving out money?A. Cutting off the price of energy used in daily life.B. Supplying food to everyone every day.C. Controlling the rising of prices.D. Increasing the government income.35. Xing Pu's suggestion ______.A. caused debates between ordinary people and economicsB. was supported by everyone in the countryC. was supported by the governmentD. would be adopted soon第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
