21、When you go on holiday, where do you like to stay? Do you like the luxury of a five-star hotel, the convenience of a self-catering apartment or do you prefer the freedom of sleeping under canvas? If you haven’t tried the latter, maybe you should join the increasing number of people who are enjoying the simple pleasures of camping.
By taking your tent, and some necessities, it’s easy to head off to the countryside and enjoy a night or two under the stars. Many campers are ditching the traps of their modern, busy life to do this, encouraged by experts who say a few peaceful nights in the middle of nowhere might be a good way to relax and improve our sleep patterns and well-being. It is also, of course, a good low-budget holiday option.
For the adventurers, wild camping is the escape from reality. Armed with just some food and a sleeping bag, you’re free from rules, away from other people, and able to enjoy theback-to-basics experience. One wild camper, Phoebe Smith, said, “The act of sleeping when everybody else has gone home-when you notice the wildlife and the stars-is one of the best things in life.”
But for those who still want some home comforts, a campsite is a more suitable place to put up your tent. Here you have facilities such as washrooms，a shop and maybe even a restaurant. In the UK, camping has always been popular. One survey found around 4.38 million people go camping in Britain every year.
More recently, sales of camping equipment have jumped as more people have chosen a staycation（宅度假）within the UK due to travel restrictions. One camping businessman, Halfords, reported a rise in demand for products such as stoves, cool boxes and camping chairs. With the addition of powerful torches and lamps to light up your tent and a better selection of easy-to-cook food, you can almost guarantee a comfortable and enjoyable camping expedition. The only thing you can’t guarantee, in the UK at least, is good weather! So maybe it’s time to slum it（将就点）and give camping a try.

22、 Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. He was a man of ideas and dreams. So people called him a dreamer. Merlin liked playing the violin in his free time as well.
One day , Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin skated into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates.

23、Daria was a successful photographer living in Russia’s capital city of Moscow when she decided to leave the busy city life behind — which is why she now lives in the woods with over 100 rescued animals.
As a child growing up in Russia, Daria had always dreamed of rescuing dogs and opening up her own dog shelter. Though she ended up working as an excellent wedding photographer in Moscow, she always felt a desire to leave everything behind in search of something more.
Daria’s first rescue was a one-eyed little dog from the local animal control. She soon started taking in more rescued animals, especially those that had special needs.
Her rescue efforts kept snowballing until one day when Daria finally decided to follow through on her dream and buy a country house in a forest 100 miles from Moscow.
Daria and her husband now use it to care for over 100 animals. In addition to rescuing dogs, she also saves animals from the fur farming industry.
Many people have contacted Daria and asked her to take in rescued and unwanted dogs, many of which either have behavioral special needs, or disabilities — but if they had not been taken in by the Russian couple, then they would most likely have been abandoned.
They now devote their entire lives to taking care of their rescued animals. They mostly spend their days making sure that all the dogs have been fed, giving the animals their medication, and keeping all of the living spaces clean and tidy.
Since the Russian couple mostly lives off the grid, they use solar panels for electricity and thanks to a little help from their friends, they also now have running water.
【1】What do the underlined words in the fourth paragraph reflect?
A．Daria was saving more and more animals.

C．The couple’s friends offer no help to them.
D．The couple’s living conditions are very hard.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．A photographer’s hard choice.
B．Country life and city life.
C．A couple’s life of saving animals.
D．Russia’s farming industry.
24、 Nobody likes waking up in the morning to the sound of regular alarm clocks or smartphones, but the smell of just baked bread and freshly roasted coffee? Now you’re talking.
The Sensorwake takes a vastly different approach to getting your attention when it’s time to wake up. Instead of using sound to wake you up, the clock uses smell, thanks to the “timed release of an aroma of your choice”.
The invention of 19-year-old Guillaume Rolland, an engineering student from France, the Sensorwake was successfully supported last year to the amount of US$200,000, and Rolland is now taking pre-orders for retail units.
But do smells work as well as a regular audio alarm in terms of waking you up? While we might hate the sound of conventional alarms, they seem to be not effective for most regular sleepers. Rolland claims that the Sensorwake is just as good as audio alarms, with internal testing showing his scent-based alarm wakes 99 percent of people in 2 minutes.
Previous research on the rousing abilities of smells hasn’t been so positive. A 1997 study by fire and rescue workers in Irondale, Alabama was designed to test whether adults woke up in the presence of smoke, water and citrus smells. Of 10 sleeping participants, only two woke up when exposed to the aromas. A subsequent study at Brown University in 2004 also found that scents were not particularly effective at waking sleepers.
The Sensorwake comes with an insurance policy for any sleepers who aren’t awakened by its primary feature. For extra-heavy sleepers who don’t register the smell, there’s a backup audio alarm that’s caused to go off if the aroma hasn’t woken you up within 3 minutes.
We can’t wait to see the reviews when the finished product is released and find out if the Sensorwake smells as good as it sounds.
【1】Who invented the Sensorwake last year?
A.A scientist. B.A student.
C.An engineer. D.A radio operator.
【2】In Rolland’s opinion, the Sensorwake ______.
A.can replace a regular audio alarm
B.is not as good as he had intended
C.is very effective in waking up sleepers
D.has been well received at home and abroad
【3】The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A.two experiments were carried out before
B.previous researches weren’t particularly effective
C.where the researches were once experimented
D.the researchers have long been carried out
