Scotland is one of the last places where we are not restricted to paths and tracks. During our guided holidays we will take full advantage of this and our hikes will be in remote and quiet places undiscovered by most tourists.Stay in carefully selected and comfortable accommodationYou can rely on the quality of the accommodation that we find for you - its comfort, its food and the professionalism and welcoming nature of those who run it.We offer youConfidence that you are going the right way- our well-qualified, well-informed and enthusiastic guides will look after you. They‟ll do their best to make your holiday interesting and memorable. Each of them lives in Scotland, knows it well and has some special interest in its environment. They all very much enjoy sharing this knowledge. All our guides have mountain leadership and first aid qualifications, with experience of leading groups of various ages over all sorts of ground in all weathers and seasons.Small groups - usually between 4 and 8.Road transport in our minibus - we collect you from Glasgow (city or international airport) on your first day and take you back at the end of your holiday. Throughout your holiday we also provide local transport as needed, evenings included.11. What may hikers find difficult?A. The hikes are done at high speedB. The routes can be difficultC. The accommodation is of low qualityD. The guides are unfriendly12. Why will the hikes be interesting and memorable?A. The guides will share knowledge about ScotlandB. Hikers can practice first aidC. Hikers can become mountain leadersD. Hikers will experience all kinds of weather13. Where do the holidays begin and end?A. ArgyllB. GlasgowC. LondonD. The West HighlandsBThese days it seems people can‟t complete simple tasks, like having a meal, without getting their phone out to Instagram it.It is widely believed that our obsession with documenting everything photographically takes away from the enjoyment of the experience itself, but a new study says otherwise. Researchers have found people taking photos of events actually enjoy them more.The study was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The participants who took the photos reported being more engaged in the activity.…One critical factor that has been shown to affect enjoyment is the extent to which people are engaged with the experience.‟ the authors wrote. Photo taking helps this because it naturally draws people more into the experience, they said.The researchers asked over 2,000 people to take part in nine different experiments. In each experiment, people were asked to participate in an activity – which ranged from going on a bus tour to eating in a food court.They were asked to either take photos or not, and completed a survey to show how much fun they had during the task. In almost every case, those who took photographs reported higher levels of enjoyment. But the same effect happened in the other extreme, in that photo taking can make an unpleasant experience even worse, the study found.In one instance, participants went on a virtual safari and observed a group of lions attacking a water buffalo, which most people did not enjoy. In that case, the photo takers enjoyed it less than those who saw the same encounter but did not take photos.Taking photos did not appear to increase enjoyment when taking the photos negatively affected the experience itself, for example having to handle bulky camera equipment. The researchers also discovered that this action is not limited to the action of taking pictures. Participants in one experiment reported higher levels of enjoyment after just taking mental pictures as they were going through the experience.This shows it is the process of taking the photo itself that helps increase enjoyment. This means that cameras that record any moment of an experience without the individual‟s active decision of what to capture are unlikely to have the same effect, according to the researchers.14. What is widely believed about taking photos and posting them on Instagram?A. It means that we waste more time.B. It makes us enjoy experiences less.C. It helps us lead richer lives.D. It makes us less popular with our friends.15. During the survey, what did the researchers find?A. Taking photos always makes us enjoy things more.B. Those who didn‟t take photos were happier.C. Taking photos makes us experience things more deeply.D. Taking photos is usually an unpleasant experience.16. The underlined word …bulky‟ probably means __________.A. Large and heavyB. Cheap and convenientC. Cool and fashionableD. Modern and reliable17. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. How to enjoy taking photosB. The negative effects of InstagramC. How to win popularity on InstagramD. How taking photos affects our experiencesCAccording to Oxford university economists Dr Carl Frey and Dr Michael Osborne, 40% of all jobs are at risk of being lost to computers in the next two decades. Though much has been said about the jobs that will be lost, Frey points out that we don‟t know what type of new work automation will create.As more jobs become automated, we will see the disappearance of repetitive, low-skilled work, he says. “And we don‟t know specifically what new fields will create jobs in the next decade or two.” However, there are two types of role that we won‟t easily be able to automate, and jobs for the next generation will focus on these areas.SocialFirst, jobs that involve social interactions won‟t be easy for a machine to do. “If you think of all the social tasks – negotiating or taking care of others – it is almost unthinkable that a robot will acquire these skills at human levels of social intelligence,” says Frey. So careers such as teaching, social care and nursing are all likely to stay after the robot revolution. And although the diagnostic role of doctors can already be done by machines, the patient-interaction aspect of the job is hard to replace.CreativeThe second type of work that machines won‟t easily be able to replicate is creativity. “Computers are very good at solving problems once the problem has been specified, but they‟re not as good at coming up with new creative ideas,” says Frey.So artists, writers and musicians will all be safe – but this creativity is relevant to the science, technology, engineering and maths fields, too, meaning high-level engineers, mathematicians and those working in the sciences are also less likely to be be replaced by automation. “Scientists and engineers need to have a very in-depth understanding to work out what to study next, which actually involves a fair amount of creativity, just as someone working in the arts does,” adds Frey.The human factor“There are quite a few occupations that we don‟t see as likely to be replaced. But they have just one thing in common –they need attentive, human qualities,” says Frey.Osborne agrees that the jobs left for our children are more likely to be creative, involve social interaction, or be physical –which are also typically the types of job we most enjoy. “There‟s evidence to suggest that as we get more automated, machines will do more of the dirty, repetitiveroutine work. The jobs left would be increasingly creative and social, which is something we find more pleasurable.”18. In Paragraph 1, what is Frey uncertain about?A. Whether humans will still work in the futureB. What jobs will be lost in the futureC. What jobs will be created in the futureD. Whether computers will play a greater role in the future19. Why are teachers‟ jobs likely to be s afe?A. They have deep knowledge of their subjectsB. Schools can‟t afford to buy the latest computersC. Machines can‟t interact with humansD. Teaching requires great social intelligence20. Why do scientists need creativity?A. It can help them solve specific problems.B. It can help to give them human qualities.C. It can help them decide what to study next.D. It can help them to work in the arts.21. Which word best describes Osborne‟s attitude to the future of jobs?A. OptimisticB. ConcernedC. ConfusedD. PessimisticDIt is a longstanding family joke that when I was three I suggested you (a sufferer of pet-hair allergy (过敏)) move out so we could get a cat. I didn‟t even like cats all that much. Funny, yes, but there was some truth in there; of course I loved you, but I didn‟t really like you.Our happiest times seemed to be away from home. I was convinced you were less serious without your glasses. That is why you came to life in the holiday-park pool, or first thing in the morning. Holidays, though, were also when we fought most. Forced to hold your hand at some dull museum. Early to bed for misbehaving. You were no fun when the glasses went back on.The turning point was your masterstroke – season tickets. You were always a bit useless at the emotional stuff, but it was during those precious afternoons –walking to the football stadium, jumping about like fools, and chatting about nothing in particular – that I grew up and started to see you for who you really were. A man who, in darker days, had thought nothing of having to drive hundreds of miles each week to keep us afloat. A man who, once we all lived a bit nearer his work, was always home in time for tea. My dad.Later, our happiest times seemed to come on long car journeys. Rescuing me, teaching me how to drive, or sharing the load as we took people to and from the airport on holiday. The glasses were on, thank heavens, and by then I didn‟t mind. That is when I started to get more fresh views: of just how deep your love ran for my mum and my brother, already seven when you arrived. And of your determination to be the sort of father that you hadn‟t had. Suddenly you weren‟t so useless at the emotional stuff.And then came the day I came out. That hug you gave me was one I will never forget. As with everything else in my life, you seem proud and I don‟t really understand why. What‟s more, you talk about it openly and comfortably. You ask meaningful questions. You have started challenging colleagues when they make lazy gay jokes.All this means everything, even if I don‟t say it nearly enough. So, here it is.I may still find you infuriating, at times. I may still laugh at the joy you get from moving everyone‟s cars around, into the most logical order, when people come to stay. But I will also love, admire, respect you a little bit more with each year that passes. And I‟ll tell you whenever I want.Thank you, Dad, for being you. Happy Father‟s Day!22.
