21、The Angel Hotel review: A heavenly place to stay in Abergavenny
One of Wales’s loveliest small towns has one of its loveliest small hotels and they even have an option for you to stay within the grounds of Abergavenny Castle. However, the Walnut Inn’s owners have another place you need to know about the award-winning Angel Hotel, a delightful place in the very heart of the town centre. Its location makes it the perfect place to stay.
We absolutely love it: it is an ideal mix of a lovely self-catering place with the stress-free ease of a hotel stay. And speaking of easing the stress, they’ll even lend you a car if you arrive by train: the hotel has a little electric vehicle called a ‘Twizy’, which guests can use during their stay.
Food and drink
The beautifully decorated Oak Room Restaurant provides a varied menu from breakfast in the morning to dinner in the evening. On the menu, guests will find dishes made with quality local produce. More informal dinner surroundings are available in the Foxhunter bar—full of comfortable leather sofas. It offers a range of beers and wines.
What to do
For walking, cycling and climbing, Abergavenny is a perfect base on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, where there are many things to do. Three towering mountains surround the town, all of which—including the dramatic Sugar Loaf—can be reached on foot. If you want to do all of them in a day, it’s easily done in the Angel’s ‘Twizy’ electric car.
Don’t miss
Abergavenny has plenty of interesting little shops and cafés, including a large Italian-Welsh deli, but the highlight is the covered market. It’s an interesting place to visit for a couple of hours.
The Angel Hotel, Abergavenny, has rooms from £95—you can enquire via www.angelabergavenny.com, or call 01873 857121.

22、Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracker that cost dear and would not cause flying problems to help them monitor magpies, who are known to be quite clever and live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in, but these birds had other ideas.
The team outfitted five magpies with small backpack-like harnesses attached to the trackers, each of which weighed less than one gram. Once the trackers were on, scientists could guide the birds that previously received their instructions back to an outdoor ground “feeding station” where the trackers could charge wirelessly, and the team could download the data.
Scientists planned the pilot experiment to learn more about how far the highly intelligent creatures travel and if they have any patterns or schedules of travelling. The scientists are concerned that magpies may have a hard time adjusting as the world warms up because of climate change.
However, within ten minutes of placing the tracker on the fifth experiment, one clever female magpie without a tracker began picking at the harness of another younger bird. Finally, the female bird succeeded, and the behavior was repeated in the following hours. By day three of the experiment, none of the birds had trackers anymore. “The birds beat us,” said Dominique Potvin, one of the scientists.
The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but they realized that the magpies had taught them an unexpected lesson that magpies are able and willing to help each other out, even if the bird that is helping doesn’t get a reward. This is called “rescue behavior”, which is not that common in the animal world, especially among birds. The scientists think this is the first-time rescue behavior has been reported for Australian magpies.
The scientists are glad they’ve learned about the fact. But now they need to try again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds to get what they really want.
【1】What did scientists do to the magpies before the experiment?
A．They trained them.
B．They weighed them.
C．They grouped them.
D．They named them.
【2】What was the initial purpose of the experiment?
A．To explain magpies’ teamwork.
B．To track magpies’ movement behavior.
C．To test the trackers’ effects on magpies.
D．To make magpies adapt to climate change.
【3】What can we say about the experiment?
A．It was inexpensive.
B．It was controversial.
C．It was unsuccessful.
D．It was skeptical.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A．Magpies Dislike GPS Trackers
B．Scientists Are Fooled by Magpies
C．Scientists Try to Set Magpies Free
D．Magpies Show Rescue Behavior
23、 What will the future school look like is difficult to make clear, but most experts agree that the school will be electronic in the future .
" Present-day schools will no longer exist in the next century," says a report in The Age. "At that time, future schools will become community-style centers, which run seven days a week,24 hours a day. ” At the same time, computers will surely become a central part of the school in the future.
According to The Age, the distant learning will be popular and students will listen to teachers on computers. Going into classrooms on their computers, students will study at any time, which is very easy for them. However, it is necessary for students to go to the actual school in order to develop some social skills.
The Seashore Primary School is an imaginary school in the future created by the Education Department of Australia. At this school, all the teachers and students have laptop computers . Teachers check messages and call students back on a special telephone system and students use telephones to search for information or speak to their experts who teach their lessons. Besides, all the lessons are related to all sorts of subjects and all the students have their own learning plans created by teachers .
As one headmaster says, a laptop computer is students5 library, data storage （数据存储）as well as the bridge to a wider world. Technology has changed the emphasis of future learning. Thus, well pay more attention to the learning of kids rather than the teaching.
【1】According to the report in The Age, students in future schools will _______.
A.have no teachers B.study at a set time
C.mainly study online D.never go to actual school
【2】The example of the Seashore Primary School is given to show _______.
A.telephones are important in Australia
B.how future schools will work
C.every student needs a learning plan
D.students enjoy getting in touch with teachers
【3】Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A.The Schools in the Future
B.Great Changes in Technology
C.The Seashore Primary School
D.Actual Schools to Be Replaced
