22、Rural Patagonia is famous for its wonderful nature. A Google search for “bicycle tour Patagonia” led my friend Rachel and me to the Carretera Austral: a 770-mile stretch of mostly unpaved highway. We packed our bikes into hoxes and flew to Puerto Montt, a port city some 650 miles south of Santiago. From there, we continued south for several days and set foot on the Carretera.
It took about two weeks to cycle the route through wild forests, windswept plains, and snow-capped mountains. On our last full day along the Carretera-and three days into a constant rainstorm-we found ourselves at a loss for where to sleep. We were cold and wet.
We were still 30 miles from Villa O’Higgins, which marked the end of the Carretera and the promise of a hot shower. From there, we’d ride about 600 miles further along somewhat better roads to Ushuaia.
There was no way we were going to make O’Higgins by nightfall. We hadn’t passed a nice campsite in hours. We’d just stopped beside a small stream when we spotted a cowboy-looking man walking out of the trees. And we saw that the stream led to a small house. The man came to the road. “Do you know a dry place to camp?” Rachel asked.
The man invited us into his home. We shared hot chocolate and conversation in his warm, rough kitchen. He brought out an old copy of Patagon Journal, and we were amazed to see a photo of our host, Erasmo Betancourt, on the cover. It turns out that our new friend was a well-known cowboy-turned-activist who had been an outspoken opponent of the damming(筑坝)of Patagonia's rivers. In recent decades, local farmers, fishermen, and conservationists have fiercely resisted the construction of hydroelectric(使用水力发电的)dams on the region's mighty rivers. Our adventure wouldn’t have been possible if not for their fierce love of this beautiful land and devotion to its protection.
The next morning, we thanked our host and hit the road. Is there anywhere on Earth so remote that one cannot encounter humanity?
【1】Where were the author and Rachel headed the next day?
A.Ushuaia.
B.Santiago.
C.Puerto Montt.
D.Villa O’Higgins.
【2】What was the major problem facing the author and Rachel that night?
A.Where to find a dry campsite.
B.How to satisfy their hunger.
C.How to find their way in the forest.
D.Where to get some drinking water.
【3】What was Betancourt’s attitude to building hydroelectric dams on Patagonia’s rivers?
A.Supportive.
B.Disapproving.
C.Tolerant.
D.Uncertain.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Dams on mighty rivers ruined our adventure.
B.A bicycle tour of Patagonia revealed nature to us.
C.A cowboy-turned-activist saved Patagonia’s rivers.
D.We encountered kindness in one of the wildest places on Earth.
23、How free haircuts make kids feel good about going back to school
During the last weeks of August, kids of all ages have trouble with transitions, from summer holiday to school. Both children and parents typically have anxiety about going back to school at the end of summer.
Jermaine Smith of Cleveland decided to do his part to ease some of that worry this year. He and four other barbers at his Premier Barber Studio cut the hair of about 40 kids and teens for free last Saturday.
“On the first day of school, you want to look your best, "Smith says. “When you get your hair cut, you look good; you feel good. ” Smith has been repaying the community in other ways long before this weekend. He cuts hair by day, but in the evenings, after taking his daughter home from school, he goes to his second job as a police officer. “All the kids know they can come to me for anything,Smith says. “ A lot of parents bring their kids to me for haircuts because I'm a police officer. They trust our work in the barber shop. ”
Since he started cutting hair almost 20 years ago, he's found ways to give a free cut to the kids who he thinks might need it. “I always tell young men that they always stay perfectly groomed(打扮),” Smith says. “When you have a haircut, people have a tendency(倾向)to treat you with respect. ”
Maybe a service that would only cost $ 15 regularly seems like just a drop in the bucket, but the child and teen psychologist Barbara Greenberg sees this as more than just a one-time free service. He says, “One of the ways to make going back to school easier is fun and introduces some novelty, so the whole idea of getting a haircut that's free makes kids feel special and important. Self-care makes all of us at any age feel better. ”
【1】What are the parents anxious about according to the passage?
A.Their kids have difficulty returning to school after summer vacation.
B.It is hard to find barbers who offer free haircuts to their kids.
C.It costs a lot of money for their kids to have their hair cut regularly.
D.They can hardly enjoy the free service offered by a police officer.
【2】Why do kids show trust in Jermaine Smith?
A.He looks smart in uniform. B.He has a pleasant barbershop.
C.He has a special profession. D.He offers free haircuts to them.
【3】What can one do to win respect from others according to Jermaine Smith?
A.He wears long hair. B.He appears in uniform.
C.He has a handsome look. D.He has neat appearance.
24、Chinese Culture Shown to the World with Love
