Vail Marriott Mountain Resort
Vail Winter Weather Guide
Covered in grand mountains，flashing lights and snowy pines, Vail is perfect for explorers and people who love adventures alike. Whether skiing down the slopes for the first time or the hundredth, this guide will ensure that you're ready for everything this city has to offer.
Best Time to Vacation
December through to March tends to be the best time for those interested in skiing down the slopes in style.
Know Before You Go
Make the necessary preparations and reservations in advance：
• Ski and Snowboard Rentals（租赁）：Don't have your own equipment! Vail Sports rents out a variety of skis and snowboards for all ages and abilities, as well as snow shoes and helmets.
• Clothing Rentals：For those not interested in purchasing hundreds of dollars of ski clothing for one vacation. Mountain Threads has a rental program just for you, where you can get mountain necessities like coats, pants and goggles（护目镜）.
• Suncream：You might not think about getting sunburn, but it happens to skiers and snowboarders every day.
• Difficulty levels：It's important to know what level you're at before jumping on a ski lift and heading up the mountain. Use a free trail map and plan the slopes you're going to ski down ahead of time based on the following levels you'll find up the mountain：
• Green Circle：These are the easiest slopes.
• Blue Square：These indicate average to medium levels.
• Black Diamond：The most advanced slopes. Some mountains will feature double black diamonds, indicating even higher difficulty.
While Vail is famous for snow sports, you'll find plenty of other fun things to do once the sun goes down or you are tired. Explore the rest of our website for more information!

When I was young, my mother didn't have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4：30 inthe morning.
We needevery one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you quit on school—you're not just quitting on yourself, but you're quitting on your country. No one's written your destiny(命运)for you, because you write your own destiny. You make your own future.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.
But whatever you decide to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work.You're not a good athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practise.

You run into the grocery store to quickly pick up your item. You grab what you need and head to the front of the store. After quickly sizing up the check-out lines, you choose the one that looks fastest. You chose wrong. People getting in other lines long after you have already checked out and headed to the parking lot. Why does this seem to always happen to you?
Well, as it turns out, it's just math that is working against you. A grocery store tries to have enough employees at the checkout lines to get all their customers through with minimum delay. But sometimes, like on a Sunday afternoon, they get super busy. Because most grocery stores don't have the physical space to add more checkout lines, their system becomes overburdened. Some small interruption — a price check, a particularly talkative customer — will have downstream effects, holding up the entire line behind them.
If there are three lines at the store, these delays will happen randomly at different registers (收银台). Think about the probability. The chances of your line being that fastest one are only one in three, which means you have a two-thirds chance of not being in the fastest line. So it's not just in your mind: Another line is probably moving faster thanyours.
Now, mathematicians have come up with a good solution, which they call queuing theory, to this problem: Just make all customers stand in one long snaking line, called a serpentine line, and serve each person at the front with the next available register. With three registers, this method is about three times faster on average than the more traditional approach. This is what they do at most banks, Trader Joe's, and some fast-food places. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow everyone down a little bit.
8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Queuing in a line.
B. A shopping experience.
C. A rush in the morning.
D. Cutting in a line.
9. According to the article, what may cause delays in checking out?
A. The lack of employees in the grocery store.
B. Some unexpected delays of certain customers.
C. The increasing items bought by customers.
D. A worsening shopping system of the store.
10. What is the solution given by mathematicians?
A. Employing more workers for checking out.
B. Limiting the number of queuing people.
C. Making only one line available.
D. Always standing in the same line.
11. What's the principle behind the queuing theory?
A. To pursue the maximum benefit.
B. To leave success or failure to luck.
C. To avoid the minimum loss.
D. To spread the risk equally among everyone.
D
I started out in life with few advantages. I didn't graduate from high school. I worked at menial (不体面的) jobs. I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future.
And then I began asking, "Why are some people more successful than others?" This question changed my life.
Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement(成就). It seems that the reasons have been discussed and written about for more than two thousand years, in every
possible way. One quality that most philosophers, teachers and experts agree on is the importance of self-discipline (自律). As Al Tomsik summarized it years ago, "Success is tons of discipline."
Some years ago, I attended a conference in Washington. It was the lunch break and I was eating at a nearby food fair. The area was crowded and I sat down at the last open table by myself, even though it was a table for four.
A few minutes later, an older gentleman and a younger woman who was his assistant came along carrying trays of food, obviously looking for a place to sit. With plenty of room at my table, I immediately invited the older gentleman to join me. He was hesitant (犹豫), but I insisted. Finally, thanking me as he sat down, we began to chat over lunch.
It turned out that his name was Kop Kopmeyer. As it happened, I immediately knew who he was. He was a legend in the field of success and achievement. Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books, each of which contained 250 success principles that he had obtained from more than fifty years of research and study. I had read all four books from cover to cover, more than once.
After we had chatted for a while, I asked him the question that many people in this situation would ask, "Of all the one thousand success principles that you have discovered, which do you think is the most important?”
He smiled at me, as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied, without hesitating, "The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago. He said, 'Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.'"
He went on to say, "There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self-discipline, none of them work."
12. Why did the writer ask the question in Paragraph 2 ?
A. Because he wasn't satisfied with himself.
B. Because he was a person of self-discipline.
C. Because he dislike those successful people.
D. Because he wanted to share his idea on success.
13. What made the writer invite the older gentleman to join him ?
A. His great kindness.
B. The gentleman's fame.
C. His eagerness for success.
D. The gentleman's habit.
14. What are the four large books about ?
A. Personal changes
B. The secret of success
C. Sayings of wisdom
D. The gentleman's manners.
15. What's the best title for the text ?
A. The Magic of Reading
B. An Unexpected Conversation
C. A Question that Changed MyLife
D. The Power of Self-discipline

How to Give Feedback(反馈) That People Will Listen to
If we want to grow as people, we can’t just rely on our own evaluation of how we’re doing._____16_____Receiving feedback from others can help us see the bigger picture and show us a path forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you approach this?
___17___If you wait until the matter fades from the person’s mind, they might no understand what you’re trying to tell them. Feedback should be clear and well timed, or it’s likely to be ignored.
When you’re giving feedback, it’s important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they’re doing a bad job. Make sure you give an equal amount to positive feedback to balance out anything negative._____18_____ All good feedback shares a few key elements. First, it should help accomplish a specific goal. It’s less useful to tell your friend that their dish tastes “interesting”' than it is to suggest adding a little salt to improve the flavor.
Feedback should also look toward the future._____19_____Tell your friend they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big biology exam they failed.
Finally, don’t assume your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. Consider other points of view and keep your ego(自我)under control. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback._____20_____
A. Use actual facts to support the point you are making.
B. We also need to know what other people think about our performance.
C. Like the saying goes, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”
D. Don’t take it personally -- it can only help you give better advice next time.
E. The point of giving feedback is to motivate the other person to perform better.
F. You can’t change what’s already happened, but you can prevent it from happening again.
G. If you spot a situation in which sonic feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can.
