From its dusty eastern reaches to its river valleys and lava flows, Oregon attracts adventure-hungry bicyclists. And the Oregon Scenic Bikeways program makes it easy to explore. So point your wheels down one of these routes chosen to highlight a variety of landscapes, skill levels and distances.
Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway
It's exciting: riding past fields of world-class hops, rolling along hills dotted with rows of wine grapes, leaning your bike outside a small cafe at a rural crossroads for a strong cup of coffee. The bounty of Oregon is on full display as you cycle the nation's first scenic bikeway, 134 miles down a river valley snaking between the Coast Range and Cascade Range.
Old West Scenic Bikeway

McKenzie Pass Scenic Bikeway
This 38-mile route climbs through a forest to a 65-square-mile lava flow with 360-degree views of the Cascadian Volcanoes. The 25-mile, 4, 000-foot descent to the McKenzie River has brake-burning turns through the forest.

28、 Researchers found that sleep deprivation(剥夺)has something with overeating. They studied 17 healthy men and women for 11 days and nights in a lab, where researchers recorded their every movement and recorded everything they ate. That way, researchers could make calculations of how much energy the participants were taking in and how much they were burning off through activities.
After a three-day baseline period, one group was freely assigned to sleep and wake whenever they wanted for eight days, while another was woken up after only two-thirds of their usual sleep time—that amounted to about 80 minutes less sleep per night on average. The group that experienced such restricted sleep tended to eat more the following day, adding 549 extra calories to their usual diet, while those who slept as much as they wanted ate about the same on each of the eight experiment days as they did during the three-day baseline period.
The poorly sleeping group was likely to gain weight over the long term, if their sleep was continually restricted, since they didn't burn any more calories than their better sleeping counterparts. That may help explain why previous studies have found that shift workers who work at night and sleep during the day tend to gain more weight than day workers: their disturbed sleep pattern may enhance them to eat more while they don't expend any more energy to work off the added calories.
Therefore, it's important for people to remember that the relationship between sleep, eating and weight is a complex one. Getting a sufficient amount of sleep each night may play an important role in regulating how much we eat and how many calories we burn, and it may also help determine when we eat. Eating when we should be sleeping may increase the risk of weight gain, as the body is more likely to turn nighttime calories into fat rather than burning them off.
【1】According to the researchers, there is a link between________.
A.sleep and health
B.sleep and activities
C.sleep and energy
D.sleep and overeating
【2】People who are short of sleep may________.
A.eat less the following day
B.eat more the following day
C.wake earlier the following day
D.wake later the following day

B.work at night
C.gain more weight
D.eat more than others
【4】The author mainly wants to tell us that________.
A.the body can turn calories into fat at night
B.it is dangerous for people to gain weight
C.people should eat less to ensure a good sleep
D.people should pay attention to the relations between sleep, eating and weight
29、The first thing that Valoy saw when she put on color-blind corrective glasses was the green grass and later, the red flowers. Valoy says it's unbelievable and she has struggled with certain topics, especially the painting class in school and she would even paint the ocean purple before that.
Valoy wasn't diagnosed with red-green color blindness until the fourth grade. “For the past 17 years, I've lived in a ‘black and white movie’,” the recent Louis E. Dieruff High School graduate says. But not anymore. The transformative moment all started with a public speaking class Valoy took. After she made an informative speech about growing up with her color deficiency(缺陷), her teacher, Sandy Kile, was inspired to teach the class a more important life lesson.
Kile made a suggestion that the class should reach out to companies that produced corrective glasses to see if they would donate a pair to Valoy. While Kile encouraged Valoy to write a description of living in a world with mostly shades of grey and brown, her classmates wrote statements about why she needed the glasses. “I didn't expect much for that,” Valoy says. “Professor Kile truly believed it was going to happen but we were not sure.”
It wasn't so surprising when the first company turned down their request. Then, the class received reply from the founder of Pilestone Inc., offering Valoy and six other community members his glasses for free.
Valoy is thankful to Kile and her classmates. But Kile says that she is very glad the students have the chance to realize the significance of lending a hand to those in need, and that being able to aid Valoy in changing her life is something she will never forget the rest of her life.
【1】Why is Valoy's painting class mentioned?
A.To stress Valoy's serious attitude to study.
B.To give an example of Valoy's sufferings.
C.To prove the importance of wearing glasses.
D.To prevent people from having color blindness.
【2】How did Valoy feel when Kile offered the advice?
A.Uncertain.
B.Excited.
C.Frightened.
D.Hopeful.
【3】What do we know about Valoy?
A.She made a speech to call for donation.
B.She wasn't the only one to get the glasses.
C.She only understood black and white movies.
D.She didn't know her problem until she was 17.
【4】What did Kile try to teach the class?
A.The magic of creativity.
B.The power of great efforts.
C.The benefit of technology.
D.The value of offering help.
