Let’s take a look at these traditional events in the UK.

World Gurning Championships

Gurning is a British word meaning to pull a funny facial expression. The World Gurning Championships sets

out to crown( 加冕 ) a contestant who can pull the strangest face of all. The contest takes place every year in

Egremont, Cumbria, as part of the town’s Crab Fair, which dates back to 1267.

Nettle eating contest

Hosted by the Bottle Inn pub in Marsh wood, Dorset every year, this 20-year-old nettle eating contest sees

dozens of competitors take part in eating as many nettle stalks( 荨麻茎 ) as possible within one hour. Winners

normally eat around 70ft of nettle stalks!

Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival

Every January, the Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival takes place, which dates back more than 200 years. The

strange festival consists of a performer wearing a five-stone metal and straw bear costume, while parading through

the town streets with a group of Appalachian and Morris dancers.

Wife carrying race

If you think your husband is strong enough to carry you in a race, then you may be in with a chance of

winning this odd tradition, held in Dorking, Surrey every March. The sport actually originates from the Viking

invasion(入侵) of 793 AD. The tradition wasn’t revived in the UK until 2008, but now comes with a friendlier feel.

The winner receives £100, while the carrier of the heaviest wife is given a pound of sausage.

Liam Gamer was just 17 years old when he started out on his big adventure — a 32,000-kilometer bike trip

from Alaska to Argentina. In early January, 2023, he finally finished his trip, 17 months after he started.

Liam, an experienced cyclist, had previously ridden from Los Angeles to San Francisco. He made short videos

of that trip, and shared them on the social media app TikTok, some of which became quite popular. After reading a

book by adventurer Jedidiah Jenkins, who biked from Oregon to Argentina, Liam decided to cycle from Prudhoe

Bay, Alaska, the northernmost point in the United States accessible by road, to Ushuaia, Argentina, the

southernmost point of South America.

Liam set out on August 1, 2021. At first Liam’s parents weren’t too happy about him taking such a long bike

trip by himself though it wouldn’t take that much money. But as he carried on, his parents became his strongest

supporters.

After about three months, Liam had crossed the US, going south along the West Coast. By early December, he

had reached Mexico, from which his parents came to the US many years ago. “So crossing the entire country on a

bike and reconnecting with my culture and learning the language in the place my family is from is so deeply

important to me,” Liam explained emotionally. But Liam also faced challenges in Mexico.

He was robbed in Mexico, and at one point, he considered quitting because the incredible heat made biking

extremely difficult. In all, he was robbed five times on the trip. He got very sick more than once. In Colombia, he

had a bike accident that left him injured and required surgery. In spite of it all, he kept going through rain, sun, heat,

cold, deserts and mountains.

Liam finally arrived in his destination on January 10, 2023 — 527 days after he started. He had travelled

through 14 countries along the way.

4. What contributed to Liam’s decision to bike through 14 countries?

A. His previous related experiences. B. His parents’ encouragement.

C. A desire to shoot short videos. D. A book by Jedidiah Jenkins.

5. Why did Liam feel special in Mexico?

A. He went there for the first time. B. He found his family tree’s roots.

C. He biked there as scheduled. D. He had to speak another language.

6. What can we say about Liam’s bike trip from Alaska to Argentina?

A. It’s eventful. B. It’s pleasant. C. It’s costly. D. It’s romantic.

7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To inspire our love for nature.

B. To promote low-carbon travel.

C. To encourage us to see our strengths.

D. To call on us to learn a kind of spirit.

Europe’s ski resorts (胜地) haven’t been getting enough snow.

Amedeo Reale is president of Sci Club 18, in Cortina d’Ampezzo, a town in Italy’s Dolomite Mountains. In

2026, the area will host the Women’s Winter Olympics downhill skiing events. “The only thing we are scared of is

having one or two months of hot weather,” Reale says. “But in Cortina d’Ampezzo, I don’t think there is any

problem.” At more than 5,000 feet above sea level, the slopes (坡) stay cold enough for artificial snow.

But other parts of Italy are not so lucky. They’ve been getting a taste of a much warmer future. The only plan

for saving Italy’s ski industry is to use artificial snow as much as possible

says Rolando Galli, who runs a ski

lift in there sort of Abetone, in Italy. It has done more than $2 million less business this season because of the lack

of snow. Even if there’s snow for the rest of the season, Galli says, there’s no way to make up for this year’s lost

income. He ran the lifts without snow, just for the views, but not many tourists showed up.

The changing weather is making it hard to find the right conditions for winter-sports competitions. Promoting

summertime sports is probably a good business strategy. The government and mountain towns should invest in

lakes. In summer, these could be tourist destinations-for fishing, boating, and sightseeing. They might also provide

water to fight bush fires. Clinate change is something that we have to face. We can’t just put our heads in the

ground and ignore it.

Since 1924, 21 cities have hosted the Winter Olympies. The first was Chamonix, France. If global

temperatures continue rising at the current rate, only four of those places will have conditions appropriate for

competition by 2050. That’s the prediction of a recent scientific report. Cortina d’ Ampezzo, in Italy, would be rated
