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.

Sophie became friends with the gray squirrels during her first week atPennState, after spotting them running around and wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.
Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internetsensation.
Growing up in a neighborhood outside ofState College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn't interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.”
And in case you're wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they'll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.
This year, Sophie is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer
and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.
4. What does the underlined word “sensation” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Event.

C. She lived in the far countryside when young.
D. She was more outgoing than before.

B. Sociable and aggressive.
C. Patient and caring.
D. Indifferent and appreciative.

Typhoons can be deadly — in 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest ever recorded, was responsible for 6,340 deaths—and cost billions in damages. Current forecast modelscan only predict these storms 10 days in advance, at most, and they cannot precisely predict how intense the storms will become.
An international team of researchers has developed a model that analyzes nearly a quarter of Earth’s surface and atmosphere in order to better predict the conditions that birth typoons.
“The target problem of this study is how to foretell the birth of typhoons,” said paper author Mingkui Li, associate professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography in the Ocean University of China and the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology (QNLM). “We specifically address three aspects: the beginning time, inner pressure and maximum wind speed.”
The researchers also accounted for the influence of one variable(变量) on another, such as wind speed on sea surface temperature. This influence is well understood and accounted for in climate predictions and in weather forecasts, butithas not been fully applied in understanding how long-term climate affects day-to-day weather, according to Li. “We aimed to provide insights on the time scale that can be used to forecast typhoons in
advance.”
From their study, the researchers determined that a model with the ability to better understand the relationship between warm sea surface temperatures and weak wind movement— conditions that favor typhoon formation—could improve typhoon predictability.
“Our goal is to develop a 10 to 30-day prediction system that will lead to seamless(无缝的) weather-climate predictions.” Shaoqing Zhang, paper author and professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography, said.
8. What is the problem with the present forecast system?
A. It cannot foretell storms in advance.
B. It is ineffective in accuracy and timeliness.
C. It costs too much and causes great damages.
D. It can hardly predict the intensity of typhoons.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The variable.
B. The climate
C. The temperature.
D. The influence.
10. What is the purpose of the study?
A. To advance the prediction system.
B. To figure out the three main aspects.
C. To know how climate affects daily weather.
D. To understand the influence of the variables.
11. Where is this text most likely from?
A. Awork diary.
B. A travel guidebook.
C. A science magazine.
D. A fantasy fiction.

It’s become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends, but if schoolchildren were in their parents’ shoes, the majority wouldn’t share posts of their sons and daughters online. Over 55% said they would not upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds, according to survey of over 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.
While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely, others expressed concern about their personal data beingcompromised. One of the pupils surveyed said, “Although our parents mean well, sometimes theconsequenceof a post can be disastrous.”
In response to thesurvey, children’s mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays – the best period for parental oversharing.
In one video, about safety online, 10-year-old Adavan said, “If you share anything with your family, you know who’s going to see it. But if you share it publicly, there are millions of people who can see your picture.”
Joe Hancock, a security lead at Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely. “Simple steps, such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from the children during filming, having their permission is key,” he said.
The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely. Sandra Davis, head of the law firm’s family department, said, “Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting（晒娃）– the full extent of which we cannot know yet. We must ensure we listen to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintendedconsequences further down the line.”
12.What’s most pupils’ attitude towards sharing posts about children?
A. Skeptical.
B. Unconcerned.
C. Tolerant.
D. Unwilling.
13.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A. Summarize the previous paragraph.
B. Provide some advice for parents.
C. Predict the consequence of sharing posts.
D. Give reasons for the result of the survey.
14.What should parents first pay attention to according to Joe Hancock?
A. Safety.
B. Consequence.
C. Wisdom.
D. Health.
15.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Parents should take children’s opinions into account.
B. Parents should teach children to use the Internet safely.
C. Children must make sure to listen to their parents.
D. Children should avoid unintended consequences of sharenting.

habits. Here are some ways to make that happen:
•Exercise. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle — both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off.

If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workout and add some strength exercises to build muscle.___17___
