25、   Imagine getting the chance to go camping for five days. It would be an adventure in the wild. You could row on a lake every day and leave your smartphone at home. Would you want to try this?

In June, four teenage girls from Minnesota, US, went camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (边界水域泛舟区). They had a great time—even without their smartphones.

Julia Ruelle, 16, put the group together. Earlier this year, she won an essay contest sponsored (赞助) by a company. The award was a five-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. This award was supposed to encourage kids to be less dependent on technology.

Ruelle had been to the area before, but she had always gone with her parents. Sharing the experience with friends would be very different. She invited three friends: Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson, and Julianna Torelli.

They came up with a daily plan. “We would wake up early every day. We were done paddling (划桨) by noon. We ate lunch at the campsite. Then it was time for hammocks (吊床), reading, writing, making friendship bracelets (手链), talking and napping,” Ruelle said.

“I’m a lot less worried about things,” Wander said when asked how she felt without her cellphone. Her favorite thing to do was lie in her hammock and look at the lake. Torelli enjoyed cooking. She made blueberry pancakes and sandwiches.

No one felt hungry or homesick. “Mental (心理的) health can be improved so much. It really helps to get away and reconnect with yourself,” Ruelle said.

【1】How long was the trip?

A.Five days. B.Three days. C.Six days. D.Two days.

【2】The camping trip was special because the girls ___________.

A.had to live on a boat for several days B.needed to finish many tasks

C.had to live without their smartphones D.needed to find a guide on their own

【3】Julia Ruelle got the chance to camp by ___________.

A.not using her smartphone at school B.asking her parents for help

C.working in a company D.winning an essay contest

【4】How did the girls feel at the end of the trip?

A.Worried. B.Happy. C.Hungry. D.Homesick.

【5】What do we know from the story?

A.The girls didn’t make any camping plans.

B.It is easy to get lost without our phones.

C.Wilson enjoyed making pancakes and sandwiches.

D.Using smartphones less can improve our mental health.

26、   An idiom (习语）is a phrase that we can’ t understand from the meaning of each word. For example, if an American boy asks his mum what’s for dinner tomorrow, she may say, “I’ll play it by ear.” That means she doesn’t have plans for dinner and she will decide later.

“Play it by ear” used to mean playing music without using the sheet music (活页乐谱），but now it’s different.

There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be much more colorful.

Have you ever heard the idiom “He bought the farm”? It means “He died Do you know how it became popular? It was first used in World War I. When a soldier died, the government gave his family enough money to buy a farm.

In the early 1930s, people in the US often did not know when or where their next meal was. So as soon as they got something in their hand that could be eaten, it would go into their mouth. That was how people began to use the idiom “live hand to mouth”.

And don’t be angry if your English friend says this to you, “Break a leg in your game!”

He is wishing you good luck! Hundreds of years ago, people believed in sprites (小精灵).Sprites enjoyed causing trouble. If the sprites heard you ask for something, they would make the opposite happen. Tell someone to “break a leg” and the sprites would make something good happen.

【1】According to the writer, idioms make English .

A.much easier B.more difficult

C.less interesting D.more colorful

【2】“I’ll play it by ear” can answer the question  “ ”

A.What do you think of the concert

B.How will you play music tomorrow

C.What will you do if it rains tomorrow

D.What’s your favorite piece of music

【3】When one lives hand to mouth, he or she is   .

A.in need B.in trouble C.in danger D.in peace

【4】When we hear “Break a leg”，we should say “   ”

A.How can you say that B.Thank you

C.I’m sorry to hear that D.Please watch your mouth

27、During the past year, lots of great technologies have come into our lives, such as driverless cars and AI. What will come next? Forbes has a few breakthrough (突破) that may have an influence in the new year.
