Free Things to Do in San Diego

Just 17 miles north of the Mexican-U. S. border lies the waterfront city of San

Diego. People come from all over the world to visit famous Balboa Park and enjoy

Southern California’ s world-renowned beaches.

However, with all its rich history and excellent weather, San Diego is full of activities

that require no cash.

Here's a list of free attractions and events to get you started.

Art and Museums

Balboa Park, San Diego's most famous park, is home to both architecturally

stunning buildings and landscaped gardens. Entry is free, but the park museums have

set admission prices. There are also free guided tours of Balboa Park leaving from the

Visitors Center throughout the week. The famous Botanical Building and all

the gardens require no fee— so stop by to smell the roses.

Attractions

Take a st roll through San Diego's Seaport Village, an outdoor shopping complex

with more than 50

shops, galleries, and eateries. Meander along cobblestone paths that pass fountains,

gardens, and ponds. There is also a half-mile stretch of bay-front boardwalk with great

views. Architecture includes Mexican, Victorian, and New England styles.

Culture

Browse works by area artists and enjoy complimentary hors d’ oeuvres at one of

Little Italy's Kettner Art Nights. All the galleries and studios in the district participate,

which makes for an impressive collection.

Open 6-9 p. m. on some Fridays; click the boxes below to book exact dates.

Beaches

Grab your snorkel and fins and go paddling around La Jolla Cove, one of Southern

California's most photographed beaches. The water here is calm, and you can see

colorful fish and abundant sea life. Surf and surfboards are not permitted. What makes the

beaches special is the caves that enclose this beach. Above La Jolla Cove lies Scripps Park, a

good place to picnic, lounge, or just enjoy the views of the Pacific Ocean.

I heard some good news recently. My 91-year-old grandfather called me to test his new

hearing aid. For the first time in a long time, he could hear my voice. It thrilled us both.

I soon found out there was another reason my grandparents were so happy - - - their new

audiologist(听觉病矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the previous providers they'd been dealing with,

Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should,

but also offered to go to my grandparents' apartment to show them how to use it.

Such kindness might sound rare, but I've since started wondering: What if it's more common

than we think?

It started with some research that showed people often underestimate the willingness of

strangers to engage with, or even befriend them. Then I came across a study that suggested news

coverage of current affairs tends to be more negative than positive because humans tend to give

negative events more attention.

Negative stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment. But if we don't

engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive and

less hopeful than we need to be.

So 1 think sometimes what we hear, see, or even know might not be the whole picture. The

truth might be hidden from us, requiring us to notice and discover it. We could start by asking

ourselves whether we are focusing more on negative or positive stories and whether we are letting

negative news surround us. Maybe even paying more attention to good news or making a point of

sharing good news will help.

Anna's attitude was remarkable. She went beyond the call of duty and, upon leaving, refused

to accept anything but words as thanks.

Why not remind ourselves that, for all of the bad that's in the world and in the news, behind

the scenes, in people's ordinary lives, lie untold stories of extraordinary good.

24. What made the author's grandparents particularly happy besides the new hearing aid?

A. The author's voice. B. The improvement of his health.

C. Thè successful test of the hearing aid.D. The kindness of their new audiologist.

25. How was Anna different from previous audiologists?

A. She offered her patients personal assistance.

B. She paid little attention to her patients' needs.

C. She displayed more patience and professionalism.

D. She refused to accept payment for the hearing aid.

26. What is the author's suggestion when we face news reports?

A. To avoid negative news. B. To focus more on positive stories.

C. To question all news reports critically. D. To believe only in personal experiences.

27. What is the best title of this passage?

A. Uncover the Good. B. Refuse the Negative.

C. Pay Attention to the Truth. D. Discover the Extraordinary.

A recent study from the Research Institute at McGill University Health Center may improve

the treatment of sleep disorders and neurological (神经病学的) conditions.

Scientists have made significant progress in understanding sleep mechanisms, identifying the

melatonin receptor(褪黑素受体) MT1 as a key regulator of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.

This discovery holds promise for new treatments for sleep disorders and neurological conditions.

REM sleep is crucial for dreaming, memory consolidation, and emotional regulation.

DuringREM sleep, the neurons quiet down and stop their activity. Serious conditions such as

Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementi— which currently lack effective treatment— are

linked to disruptions(扰乱) in REM sleep.

“This discovery not only advances our understanding of sleep mechanisms but also holds

significant medical potential,” said Gobbi, a Professor of Psychiatry at McGill University.

Human sleep unfolds in a precise order of non-REM and REM stages, each serving distinct

physiological functions. REM sleep plays a key role in memory consolidation and emotional

regulation. Non-REM sleep supports physical recovery and repair processes. Disruptions in this

cycle can damage cognitive function and increase risk to neuropsychiatric diseases.

Until now, the specific receptor triggering REM sleep had puzzled scientists. The new study

has identified the melatonin MT1 receptor as an important regulator of this sleep stage. Using a

novel drug targeting MT1 receptors, researchers successfully enhanced REM sleep duration in

experimental animals, while reducing neuronal activity at the same time.

“Currently, there are no drugs specifically targeting REM sleep. Most hypnotic(催眠的)

drugs on the market, while extending total sleep duration, tend to negatively affect REM sleep,”

said Dr. Stefano, a Professor at McGill University.

Further research into the neurobiology and pharmacology of REM sleep is crucial for

developing targeted treatments that could improve the quality of life for patients affected by these

diseases. As scientists continue the research, the hope for effective treatment in neurological

disorders grows increasingly promising.

28. What recent discovery about sleep mechanisms was made by researchers at McGill University

Health Center?

A. New methods for measuring sleep duration and quality.

B. The new role of current hypnotic drugs in sleep regulation.

C. The melatonin receptor MT1 as a key regulator of REM sleep.

D. The new connection between sleep patterns and sleep disorders.

29. What can be inferred about REM sleep according to paragraph 3?

A. It is the stage where physical recovery occurs.

B. It is crucial for physical and mental health.

C. It helps regulate body temperature.

D. It is the longest sleep stage in the cycle.

30. What is the current status of drug treatments targeting REM sleep?

A. Many effective drugs are available on the market.

B. No drugs specifically target REM sleep currently.

C. All hypnotic drugs enhance REM sleep.

D. REM sleep drugs have been banned.

31. What potential effect does the discovery of the MT1. receptor have?

A. It could lead to new treatments for sleep disorders.

B. It could contribute to improving attention and memory.

C. It will free patients of sleep disorders once and for all.
