Swimming Holes in America
In America, these secret swimming holes are hidden and hard to reach but well worth the adventure.
Cummins Falls
Looking for the best place to escape the summer heat in the heartland of America? For more than 100 years, Cummins Falls, a scenic,75-foot waterfall located in Jackson County, TN, has been a treasure for Tennessee natives. But now, the secret is out! Although it’s a bit tough to get to, once in the park, the mountains and river provide unmatched beauty on your way to taking a swim in Tennessee's eighth-largest waterfall.
Sliding Rock
A popular place to cool off during those hot North Carolina summers, Sliding Rock waterfall is located in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. A flattened rock about 60 feet lies in a nearly 7-foot-deep pool at the bottom, making this natural waterslide a great place to visit with people of all ages.
Mooney Falls
It is the tallest water feature in the Grand Canyon, rising 190 feet above the surface. Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawling（爬）through 2 underground passages and then climbing down a sheer cliff（峭壁）face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. Although it is tough to get to, the view and the cool alone make it worth the trip.
Lihue Estate
A private swimming hole at the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The waters for this 2.5-mile journey, which come from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—are channeled through ditches（沟渠）that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago.

Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last yearshe bought a plain(朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some color1 ed markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest.
After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times.
For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than $ 20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.”
“Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook.
Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so, I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”
4. What did Haley use the plain white dress to do?
A. To teach her students painting.
B. To prepare for her presentation.
C. To ask her students to draw on it.
D. To help her students with their homework.
5. What do we know about the finished dress?
A. It took Haley by surprise.
B. It is kept by Haley at home.
C. It is the product of a new idea.
D. It has enjoyed popularity online.
6. What should a teacher do if he or she wants to follow Haley's example?
A. Buy the same dress online.
B. Give the kids enough time.
C. Buy the same markers in Walmart.
D. Leave the finished work untouched.
7. Why did Haley carry out the project?
A. To teach art to her students.
B. To show her idea on Pinterest.
C. To share it with other teachers.
D. To exciteher students' creativity.
C
Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.
I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.
I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation system？It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. Suddenly a thought ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.
There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.
The point is that the new, along with the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.
I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.
8. The author accepted the assignment because_________.
A. he had never travelled abroad before
B. he hardly knew any foreign languages
C. he was familiar with any other country in Europe
D. he would learn something new and different by trying

A. The author had been abroad only twice.
B. The author thought the trip was hard but worthwhile.
C. The author admitted that anything different was terrible.
D. The author must be good at doing research and making interviews.
10. We can infer from the text that the author is_______.
A. awkward
B. generous
C. stubborn
D. brave
11. What's the best title of the text？
A. An Interesting Trip Abroad
B. My First Writing Assignment
C. Ready to Try and Challenge
D. How to Be Daring and Brave.
D
An ancient tomb was recently discovered in southern Siberia in which there may be treasure, priceless objects, and the 3, 000-year-old remains of an ice mummy.
Swiss scientist Gino Caspari with the University of Bern was looking carefully at the pictures of the area in the Russian Tuva Republic, when he came across what appeared to be a tomb. It is a tomb of the Scythians, an ancient group of Eurasians.
This summer, together with researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Hermitage Museum, a dig at the site not only proved Caspari's idea, but told us the site is the largest and oldest of its kind ever discovered in what's increasingly known as the “Siberian Valley of the Kings.”
While any discovery dating back to a period between the Iron Age and Bronze Age is exciting, it's the nature of this site that makes scientists want to begin carefully clearing away the layers of rock and earth. First, the tomb appears to have never been dug, because it is in a Siberian wetland faraway from the nearest place where people live. Second, and most important, is its possible resting place under a thick layer of permafrost.
“There's permafrost in the area,” Caspari said. “There are really only a handful of permafrost tombs and very few that have not been damaged, where there have been ice mummies in good condition, and all the things in the tomb are untouched.”
While not as large, other tombs discovered in the area have produced fantastical treasures and objects, including thousands of gold objects and other things about the past. By studying all these tombs, researchers hope to have a better understanding of the Scythian people.
Caspari said his team is in a race against time to uncover the tomb and find out its secrets. “We now have to act fast,” he said, “because with the rising temperatures, the permafrost could melt and damage all the things in that tomb. And these are things that are over 3,000 years old, that look like new, like they were put there yesterday.”
12. How did Caspari discover the tomb?
A. By studying pictures.
B. By visiting a Russian area.
C. By talking with Russian researchers.
D. By comparing other scientists,ideas.
13. Why has the tomb remained untouched?
A. It is covered by a lot of rocks.
B. It is well kept by the Scythians.
C. It is too small to draw attention.
D. It is hidden in a wild cold place.
14. Why do scientists want to uncover the tomb?
A. To better protect the tomb.
B. To save the treasures inside.
C. To learn more about the Scythians.
D. To have a good understanding of mummies.
15. Why is Caspari's team racing against time to dig the tomb?
A. The tomb is too old.
B. It is getting hotter and hotter.
C. Some treasures are being damaged.
D. They want to save time for other tombs.

Furthermore,ginkgo trees are born with protective biochemical characteristics,in the form of hormones, antioxidants, and bactericides.___18___Also, they have evolved adaptations that enable them to resist pests and climate extremes.
___19___Over time,weather and other factors limit upright growth and cause leaves to die.Yet,even as this aging occurs, the cell-reproducing system of the gingko tree remains active, maintaining healthy growth.Growth typically starts slowing down after 200 years, but the trees remain healthy.Each year, they renew their parts, adding new wood,leaves, roots, and reproductive organs.In theory,gingko trees should live forever.___20___
A. Of course,these trees do age, to some extent.
B. Their immune systems were found to be similar.
C. That is, ginkgo trees have no genetic program for death.
D. All of these strengthen their resistance to diseases and bacteria.

I suddenly___28___a design knitted into such a sweater. I___29___a clear black and white butterfly picture and took it to Mrs. Vidian. She___30___it into a sweater.

My cloud___37___, however, when I stood in front of Mrs. Vidian. “But it took me almost a week to knit that sweater,” she said. “Forty sweaters in two weeks? It is___38___.”
I was so close to success and then to be blocked!___39___, I walked away. All at once, it hit me that there must be___40___way. This knitting way did take special skill, but surely there must be someone else in Paris who knew how to do it. Luckily, I made it before the deadline.

It has been deep spring now, but the weather is still comfortably. Three of my friend and I went to East Lake the last Sunday. We meet each other at 8:00 am but then we went there by bike. It took us forty minutes get there. We went boating first after we got there. It was really interesting. And then we had a picnic. We prepared some meat, vegetables, corns and another food. We went home at about 4:00 pm and all of them had a great day. I like picnicking outdoors because it makes me feel relaxing. We decide what we will go there again in summer. At that time, we can swim in the lake.
