Great Activities for Nature Lovers

Hiking

One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out

on a good old fashioned hike. Hiking generally doesn't require any fancy equipment

or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as

relaxing as you make it.

Backcountry Camping

Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend for a

longer adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear,

food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an

experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and

explore the wilderness.

Mountain and Road Biking

Biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature, unlike long

hikes through the woods and backcountry camping. Mountain biking typically

involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this

sounds too intense or your tires aren't suited for rugged terrain( 地形 ) , consider

taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.

Gardening

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to travel beyond your own backyard to

experience the beauty of nature every day. If your personality is less adventurous or

your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables ,

fruit , herbs，or flowers. There's something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad

with fresh ingredients you grow yourself. One of the best parts about spending time in

gardening is that it doesn't have to break your budget and anyone can do it.

1．What do hikers need for hiking?

A．Practical skills. B．Necessary equipment.

C．A useful map. D．A relaxed mood.

2．What's NOT the advantage of gardening according to the text?

A. It’s easy to start it for anyone who likes it.

B．It doesn't take any energy or money to do it.

C．You don't need to go far to enjoy the beauty of nature.

D．It gives you a sense of satisfaction when cooking with fresh ingredients.

Finding a suitable name for a baby is a big deal in China. When picking out a

Chinese name, parents usually select two or three characters that have a carefully

thought out meaning, but when deciding on an English name, many of them struggle.

That's where Jessup and her company, Special Name, come in. In the last few years,

Jessup has helped name 677,900 Chinese babies, and earned over $400,000 in the

process, more than enough to pay her college fees.

Jessup came up with the idea for Special Name in 2015,after accompanying her

father on a business trip to China. One of her dad's business partners, a Mrs. Wang,

asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter. Jessup felt honored and

quickly realized the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture. The

woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve, so

Jessup suggested the name "Eliza" after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play

Pygmalion. Mrs. Wang seemed delighted with Jessup's choice."If Mrs. Wang needed

this service, maybe other parents would as well, "Jessup thought.

After returning to UK, Jessup borrowed ￡1,500 from her parents and paid a web

designer to build a website. She then spent her free time filling up a database(数据

库)with around 4,000 English names, associating them with five major personality

characteristics, like honesty and optimism.

In the beginning, Jessup offered the service for free to promote the website, but

later, she started charging fees. The business is almost completely self-sufficient,

requiring only a small team in China that manages technical operations. She updates

the database each month, allowing her to focus full-time on studies.

4. What's the purpose of Special Name?

A. To help Chinese teens go abroad.

B. To strengthen children's personalities.

C. To pick an English name for a Chinese baby.

D. To make a deal with Chinese parents.

5. What inspired Jessup to set up Special Name?

A. A suggestion from a business partner.

B. Her interest in Chinese culture.

C. A Chinese mother's request.

D. A character from a play.

6. What did Mrs. Wang want her daughter to be in the future?

A. A woman with achievements. B. A famous actress.

C. A successful businesswoman. D. A western culture expert.

7. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Special Name?

A. It offers free service. B. It's updated every day.

C. It's operated completely by itself. D. It is easy to manage.

Every country has its favorite food. Italians like to eat pizza. Indians like to eat

hot food. Japanese like to eat fish. Often they don’t cook it.
