Follow this four-day route, and you'll lose yourself in the wizarding world of Harry
Potter.
Day 1 Overview Edinburgh
It was in Scotland's capital city that J.K.Rowling started to plot the adventures of Harry
and his pals. With stoned streets, winding alley and medieval (中世纪的) architecture, the
city certainly has a few things in common with the settings from the books and films. She
wrote the early chapters in various cafes around the city's Old Towns.
Day 2 Overview travel to Fort William
Travel by train from Edinburgh to Glasgow. From there,you can take the West
Highland Line to Fort William. This is a great way to see some famous spots from the
window,including the mysterious Rannoch Moor, the place where Death Eaters board the
train in the movie Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.
Day 3 Overview all aboard the Hogwarts Express
Witness the sweeping cinematic scenery of the movie Harry Potter by booking a seat
on the Jacobite Steam Train. Stop for lunch in Mallaig and then make the return journey to
Fort William. Please be sure to book the steam train in advance, as it is exceedingly
popular. By the way, it runs seasonally.
Day 4 Overview lakes and glens（峡谷）
In the films,mysterious, misty landscapes frame the background of Harry's tale, so it's
no surprise that the film producers chose the Highlands for many scenes. Spend a day
wandering through some of these beautiful spots and feel the magical atmosphere.

We all put our hands in the middle, ready for the “TIGERS!” shout. Andrew looked
up, his face wrinkled in confusion, and then loosed in relief he said, “Whoa, for a second I
forgot there was a girl on this team. I was wondering why there was one hand with painted
pink nails!” The guys laughed, and I smiled, once again reminded how cool it was that I
was different. “1, 2, 3, TIGERS!” and we were off to the field.
My adventures as the only girl on my all-boys middle school football team were
always interesting. Football is known as being predominantly male. But I love football.
Ever since I could walk, I would get around the fields. My dad is a huge football fan,and
we spend many Saturday afternoons playing football in the yard or watching games.
Football is in my blood. So when sign-ups came for the 7th-and 8th-grade team, I signed
up. Who says a girl can't do it?
Back to Grade 7. Though it was strange for the guys to have me there, and a few felt
embarrassed when they heard they'd be tacking a girl, they got used to it. The coach treated
me like anyone else, and the boys learned to also. I did the drills, I tackled people, and I got
tackled. By the time I got home every night, my body literally crumbled into my bed . But it
was all worth it. Game days were everyone's favorite. Football is a team sport of passion,
pride and love.The coach would always tell us, “We win as a team:we lose as a team!”
To play well we needed to work as a team. Different as I was being the only girl, it
didn't matter. One person, one girl, is not a big thing. I was a part of the team. The coach
got us all together, and we'd once again shout “TIGERS!”

Pinocchio may be just a children's fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of
Granada recently investigated this so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses
don't grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.
Dr.Gomez Milan and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography (体
温计) to tell if people were lying and found that whenever participants in their research
were being untruthful, the temperature of the tip of their nose dropped up to 1.2℃, while
the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientist also found that drop in
temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is
undetected by the human eye.
“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead,”
Dr.Gomez Milan explained the findings. “At the same time, we feel anxious, which lowers
the temperature of the nose.”
For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks
while their temperature is scanned by technology. One of these tasks required making a 3
to4minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to
make up the lie themselves during the call. Interestingly, this lie detector picked up the
temperature difference in 80 percent of the test subjects, which is a better rate of success
than that of any modern lie detector.
“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy, said Dr. Gomez Milan, who
added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection
technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.
28.Why does the writer talk about Pinocchio in the first paragraph？
A.To tell a fairy tale. B.To give an example.
C.To talk about a scientist. D.To introduce the topic.
29. What is “Pinocchio effect”?
A.Our noses will grow when we tell a lie.
B. Our noses will shrink when we tell a lie.
C.The temperature of the forehead falls if we lie.
D.The temperature of the student rises for anxiety.
30. How did Dr.Gomez Milan feel about the lie detector？
A.Doubtful. B.Surprised. C.Confident. D.Puzzled.
31.What lesson can we learn from the text?
A.A lie will travel very hard. B.Many ways to bring a liar to light.
C.A lie never lives to be old. D.Once a liar always a liar for sure.

The wish to capture the wonder of nature on a smartphone or camera is
understandable. People like the beauty of nature and also want to share with their
followers, friends and family, but our relationship with the outdoors should not be centered
around social media. The “do it for the gram” thought needs to be reconsidered.
Social media has undoubtedly helped attract more visitors to wild places. There are
both good and bad sides that come with an increased visitation to these sites. Visiting
nature and observing wildlife can help people feel more connected to wild plants and
animals. These experiences may encourage more protection of natural spaces. Yet
increased traffic to these sites has also caused them harm. Spaces that are ill-equipped to
deal with too many visits experience environmental degradation, which in turn can
endanger those who take photos by putting them in dangerous situations. Search and rescue
cases have increased by 38% in the last few years in LA County, some of which were
connected to adventurers trying to capture photos for their social media. Deadly falls in the
outdoors can and should be avoided with less photographing for social media.
Recently, one highly visited natural site stopped photography-only tours. Antelope
Canyon in Page, Arizona, will no longer be allowing visits that are centered around
cameras. Handheld phones will still be allowed, but large tripods （ 三 角 架 ） and
monopods（独脚架）will not be. This is a great first step that should be brought to other
natural settings, especially in places that have already been completely photographed by
professionals.
It is necessary to free ourselves from technology every once and a while. The
unhealthy attachment to photography and social media feeds has created problems for
humans and nature,and should be replaced with practicing mindfulness while in the
outdoors.
32. What does the underlined word “degradation” in Paragraph 2probably mean？
A. Change. B.Destruction C. Construction. D. Depression.
33. What has been the result of visitors taking photos of nature according to the passage？
A. Serious traffic problems. B. Unnecessary travel costs.
