21、After many months stuck at home, we’re all dreaming of travelling somewhere exciting and stretching our legs. These are four amazing destinations for hiking.
Devil’s Lake State Park
For this one, come early and on a weekday. Devil’s Lake is one of the most popular state park, which requires a high climb but rewards hikers with its incredible views. In winter, get ready to hit the ski trails(路径), walk out on frozen lake and enjoy the quiet that winter offers. In warm months, be sure to get to the lake too. You can look for reflections of light on water and golden sunsets, and rent ferryboats from either shore.

Blue Mound State Park
Blue Mound State Park, which sits 1716 meters above sea level, is the highest point in the area. It’s enough to mean over 20miles of off-road single track and hiking trails. This trip gives you the opportunity to take in the incredible sight of Baraboo and experience the best of ancient mountain culture.

22、 “While extroverts(性格外向者)often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish(缩减)over time,” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of Management.
“Extroverts disappoint us over time when they are part of a team,” Bendersky says. “On a team you’re expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they are often poor listeners, and they don’t collaborate.”
“On the other hand, introverts(性格内向者)work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don’t want to be seen as not pulling their weight or contributing 100%,” Bendersky says.
So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player, Bendersky says.
Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.
“These team members are often easy-going, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in one-on-one situations,” Su says.
“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice,” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about self-promotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.”
What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off? Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying something in private to make adjustments.
【1】What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky?
A.They are good listeners.
B.They are good at cooperating.
C.They often make great contributions.
D.They tend to perform well in interviews.
【2】Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in Paragraph 3?
A.Making the team lag.
B.Making good choices.
C.Doing their full share of work.
D.Trying to share their thoughts.
【3】What is Su’s attitude towards Bendersky’s words?
A.Critical. B.Tolerant.
C.Doubtful. D.Approving.
【4】What does Wilkins advise managers to do?
A.Promote more introverts.
B.Learn to work more efficiently.
C.Encourage introverts to speak up.
D.Avoid conflict among employees.

24、To Friend or Not To Friend
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to education themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request, “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”
Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
【1】From Paragraph 2, we learn that _______.
A. parents feel secure about their privacy online
B. social networks successfully fill the generation gap
C. parents have realized the importance of social networks
D. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate
【2】Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because _______.
A. they hide something from their parents
B. they are unwilling to be watched by parents
C. their parents tend to fall behind in technology
D. their parents make negative comments on them
【3】The passage is mainly about _______.
A. privacy online
B. social networks
C. the generation gap
D. parents’ friend requests
【4】The passage is written mainly for _______.
A. parents B. teenagers
C. teachers D. researchers
