27、 When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the Pennsylvania countryside for a week-long taste of rural life. We stayed in guest house on a farm, joining the daily routine and eating meals with the farmer and his family. We got up early to the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, and then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterwards.
Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip which made me realize the value of a vacation, seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members. To this day, I still consider that family trip when I plan to take time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spent much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons give is that we should all have enough money for family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should save our money and time for.
For my family, our vacation starts when we begin planning the trip. We talk about destinations and our budget ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel Would it be better to buy groceries and good for ourselves rather than eat out every night? Involving the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. I prefer to visit historical sites and museums while they love to fish and swim. So build in some relaxation time for us all so that the vacation can work for everyone.
Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens door to all kinds of conversations---deep, silly or meaningful. There is no pleasure from the usual everyday tasks. What matters is that everyone is having a great time.

28、Waste heat from one of the London Underground’s lines will be used to warm over a thousand homes in the UK capital this winter. The warm air will be channeled from the Northern Line to support the London Borough of Islington’s district heating.
Named Bunhill 2,the heat network is a joint project between Islington Council, Transport for London and engineering firm Ramboll and is considered as the first of its kind in Europe. The council hopes the system will make London more self-sufficient (自给自足的) in energy, cut carbon emissions and reduce heating bills for people.Meanwhile, tube passengers on the underground can also expect cooler air.
District heating, also known as heat networks, is the supply of heat and hot water from a central source to a group of buildings. The Bunhill 2 district heating system is the second phase (阶段) of Islington Council’s Bunhill Heat and Power scheme-a heat network in Islington that was established in 2013 to warm approximately 700 homes.
The network currently channels heat created in the Bunhill Energy Centre power station into local council housing, schools and a leisure centre. Bunhill 2 will extend this network to more community buildings and a further 450 homes.
The central source of the Bunhill 2 heat network is a ventilation shaft (通风井)-a passage that is used to expel waste heat-in the abandoned (废弃的) City Road station. A heat pump designed by Ramboll will capture this extra heat from the ventilation shaft, before it is warmed to approximately 70 degrees Celsius. This will then be transferred (转移) into Islington’s heat network to supply heat and hot water to buildings.
According to the Greater London Authority, there is enough heat wasted in London to meet 38 per cent of the city’s heating demand. The expansion of district heating networks like Bunhill 2 could see this increase to 63 per cent by 2050.
“We believe that the use of large-scale heat in this way connected to urban district heating systems will play a major part in the Uk’s heating energy demand,” explained Lucy Padfield, director of District Heating at Ramboll.
“The use of heat pumps taking advantage of industrial waste heat sources is more carbon efficient than gas-fired combined heat and power, the usual source of heat for district energy schemes,” she continued. “I am convinced that with the increasing use of renewable power sources, large-scale heat pumps connected to district heating systems will play a major role in the future heating of cities in the UK.”
【1】What can we learn about Bunhill 2 in London?
A.It is inspired by other cities in Europe.
B.It will be beneficial to London’s environment.
C.It can satisfy the whole city’s need for energy.
D.It is aimed at cooling the London Underground.
【2】What does the underlined word “expel” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A.Rely on
B.Deal with.
C.Break down.
D.Drive out
【3】What is Lucy Padfield’s attitude towards Bunhill 2?
A.Concerned.
B.Confident
C.Amazed
D.Disapproving
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.London’s special way to protect the environment.
B.The development of London’s district heating network.
C.Using waste heat from the underground to warm homes.
D.Ways to deal with the London Underground’s waste heat.
