Indigenous(本土的)Festival

The annual Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival (SSIF) in Edmonton has done a wonder

ful job to make their annual off-line festival a number of online events this year because of C

OVID-19. The events take place from June 1—21. SSIF has partnered with BMO to provide

Education Days for students to learn together about Indigenous history. These classes for whi

ch only a small fee will be charged include art workshops, book readings and museum tours.

Bluegrass Festival

Just 45 minutes from the heart of downtown Edmonton is the town of Stony Plain that w

orks hard to keep ties to its agricultural background, and here you’ll see old-styled lamp posts

and historical wall paintings with a long history everywhere. It’s also the site of Western Can

ada’s largest bluegrass festival, which has been a main attraction for more than 25 years and i

n July every year draws in all the big names, including Grammy winners.

Cowboy Festival

You like poetry, music, art and cowboys? Then you can’t miss it. Heading into its 24th y

ear, Cowboy Festival in Stony Plain in August is a showcase of the cowboy life. The events in

clude good old-fashioned BBQ meals and some other entertainment.

As a geothermal scientist, I know that boiling rivers exist—but they are always near vol

canoes. You need a lot of heat to make that much water boil. We were working in the volcani

c gap, a 950-mile-long area that covers most of Peru, where there hasn’t been active volcanis

m for the past two million years.

Yet we’d found the Shanaya, a name originated from “heating thing”. My measurements

averaged 190°-195°F. The locals think it’s so hot because of the Yacumama, or “water mothe

r”—a spirit who gives birth to waters—represented by a snake-head-shaped rock at the origin

of the heated water.

I had to cut my way through the bush at the side of the river to take temperature readings.

All the while, right next to me was this very hot, fast-flowing body of water. A friend at the n

earest village had told me, “Use your feet like eyes.” You can’t see heat, but you can feel it w

hen you step near it. I wore sandals(凉鞋）.

I was at a part of the river measuring 210°F, standing on a rock the size of a sheet or pap

er, when the rain fell. It was like a curtain rising. The temperature differential between the rai

n and the river caused a whiteout. I couldn’t see, but I whistled to let my partner know I was

OK.

At 130°F flesh cooks, and the water around me was nearing twice that. My eyes would h

ave cooked in less than a minute, and I couldn’t have seen how to get out. I saw rats fall in, th

eir eyes turning milky white. I kept whistling.

After 15 minutes the rain stopped and the steam cleared. A hard rain in most situations w

ould have been nothing important. Here, for a matter of minutes, it thinned the line between re

searching and being boiled alive.

4．What do we know about boiling rivers?

A．They are always found not far from volcanoes.

B．They were discovered two million years ago.

C．Geothermal scientists doubt their existence.

D．The temperature was high there.

6．What happened to the author when it rained?

A．He signaled to his partner for help.

B．He was in danger of losing his life.

C．He raised a curtain to protect himself.

D．He fell down because of his blindness.

7．What is the best title for the text?

A．Water near volcanoes.

B．Milky white eyes.

C．Boiling point.

D．A hard rain.
