阅读理解。     While in Banff ,make time for a walk around town. A special treat is to go up the mountainside on the
Banff Gondola for a surprising view of the valley below .Here is The Pines ,whose cook has developed a
special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou ,wild boar ,and reindeer with surprising sauces .
    Best time to visit is during the off-season ,from early May to mid-June ,or in October .This way you
can avoid sharing the high way with mobile (移动的) homes which can be pulled by cars .But whatever
the season ,take some lunch with you from Banff ,because there are only a few food stops on the road.
   Forty minutes north of Banff ,side by side with the Banff National Park ,sits world-famous Lake Louise .This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it .Glaciers , huge
masses of ice ,moving very slowly against rocks ,produce what is called glacier rock flour ,making its
water dark to see .It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise ,another
beauty ,proud of its early 20th century history.
    Back on the road , and it"s time to continue north past the astonishing Columbia Icefield ,then turn off
the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier .You can rent ice cleats (夹板)
and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour .Either way ,you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.
Finally you"ll reach Jasper ,the usual turning around the place for the Banff-Jasper loop (回路). It"s
worth riding the Jasper Skytram ,and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge ,also dating back
to the 1920s.If you can have lunch there ,do it .The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine
list would put a smile on any visitor"s face.1. According the passage ,The Pines is a ________.A. place in which you can see many mobile homes

任务型阅读。    While being laid off and entering into retirement are far from the same, they both often leave one half of
a couple with extra time on their hands, and plenty of pent-up(被压制的) energy that their significant other, coming home after a long day at work, can"t handle.
WSJ.com recently wrote an article that shared a few words of wisdom on how to deal with this situation.
Here are a few of their tips:
     1. Be nice to each other and have a positive attitude.
   As hard as it may be, try to not be discouraged during the job search and make sure to support your
spouse(配偶). If one of you says something negative, the other should try to come back with a positive.
And don"t forget, compliments can go a long way.
     2. Encourage your partner to take up a hobby, get a side job or join a club.
    Typically, people work an average of forty hours a week, eight to nine hours a day. So is it any wonder
that someone suddenly unemployed might go crazy with all that free time?
In order to squash the boredom before it begins, encourage your partner to stay as busy as possible. Stay
healthy and join a sports team, or learn how to cook (this benefits your spouse as well).
    Another option is taking up a side job serving food or working as a sales associate. This will allow your
sweetie to interact with other people as well as earn some money. But, of course, new hobbies shouldn"t
take up the time needed to continue the job hunt.
     3. Encourage them to continue their existing friendships and to foster(培养) new ones.
    As WSJ.com points out, those who recently lost their jobs are sometimes embarrassed and therefore
shut out family and friends. They might cling(依靠)to their partners for support. Tell your wife or husband
to talk to their families and friends. They know and love them, and can be a good support system (rather
than a support group of one: you).
     4. Give each other a little space before and after "couple time."
    You may be happy to spend time with your significant other but need a little alone time after working all
day. To the recently laid off: let your partner settle down, drink a beer, and watch a little television before
you bombard (发出连珠炮似的问题)him with your idea to go skydiving or white water rafting. You may
have an endless amount of pent up energy, but they probably need some space to relax.
5. Trust each other.
    When everything is going great, it"s easy to be happy and to trust your partner is doing everything he
should. It"s not nearly as simple when half of your income is gone. Stand by each other as a couple and
trust that each of you is doing everything necessary to get another job.

US government date reveals that up to 44% of the US workforce is single-and it may be because of work. Here are four reasons why your job might be keeping you single and what to do about it. 1. "I don"t have time to date." Many people who are single say their jobs don"t leave them with enough time to meet Mr. or Mrs. Right. You may have made a conscious decision to make career your No.1 priority(优先). Or it may be that pursuing your dream job is easier than pursuing your dream partner. Whatever the reason, spending too much of your time and energy on your career will cause your dating life to flounder(折磨). 2. "My boss knows I"m single and singles me out." Singles are often expected to work late, travel for business, and take on last minute assignments because they don"t have "family commitments (义务)". For example, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell stated last year that the choice of Janet Napolitano as Homeland Security Secretary was an excellent one because she has "no family and no life" and could devote 19-20 hours a day to the job. 3. "Everyone I know is taken/ married/coupled up." While this may not seem to be a job related issue, it could be. Statistics show that nearly half of all married couples met at work. So you"re at a disadvantage if your work doesn"t provide you with opportunities to meet and hang out with other singles. 4."No one wants to date a …" unfortunately, some jobs come with certain stereotypes (陈词滥调) that can make an expected date a complete failure. For example, being a lawyer or doctor could make you an unwelcome person because nobody"s idea of a good date is to argue or be psychoanalyzed(用精神分析疗法治疗分析)!
1.Which of the following is NOT a reason why 44% of the US workforce is single?
A. Singles are often given more work. B. Some jobs seem to prevent one from dating successfully. C. They are too busy with their work. D. Many people don"t know how to make themselves look attractive.
2."Mr. or Mrs. Right" in the second paragraph means_________.
A. an ideal husband or wife B. a certain Mr. or Mrs. Right C. a reliable person D. one"s colleague
3. If your friend is single due to the second reason, what do you say to him/her?
A. Make dating your work. B. Tell your boss that you already have plans. C. Create your own dating pool. D. Be yourself, not your job.

How to wash clothes in a flash LAUNDRY is never an easy part of housework. But if piles of sweaty (汗水浸湿的) T-shirts and smelly socks drive you crazy, then two Chinese scientists might have the answer. Long Mingce and Wu Deyong of Shanghai Jiao Tong University have invented a kind of cotton that cleans itself. No need for soap or water, the scientists say. All you have to do is put the clothes out in the sun. According to the Guardian, this magical self-cleaning ability comes from a special chemical mixture. The material is covered with this mixture. It can break down dirt and remove bad smells after only a few hours in the sun. One of the chemicals is called titanium dioxide (二氧化钛). Scientists have known for some time that titanium dioxide can clean fabrics (织物). However , it only works under ultraviolet (紫外的) light and so is not yet widely used - ultraviolet light cannot be seen. "We knew that self-cleaning cotton fabrics with titanium dioxide coating had already been developed, but they cannot work, or they work weakly, under sunlight," Long said. "If we want to use the fabrics in daily life, we must develop cotton that cleans itself under daylight." The scientists worked hard for years to find a better chemical. Finally , they added silver iodide (碘化银) into the mixture. This made the chemical reactions in sunlight faster. The new mixture is also nearly seven times better than the former one with pure titanium dioxide at removing dirt and killing bacteria. The experiment was only carried out on cotton clothing. However, according to Long, the technology can be "applied to all kinds of fabrics and their related products." It is also cheap and environmentally friendly , he said. The self-cleaning material is not yet ready for the market. Scientists still need to know whether it could harm people. Although titanium dioxide is used in some foods, it can cause health problems if it gets into the lungs (肺). Scientists need to make sure it is safe before we can start to enjoy the benefits of this technology .
1. Thanks to this new discovery, we will be able to clean fabrics ___ .
A. using soap and water B. using silver iodide C. using sunlight D. using moonlight
2. In what way is the new material better than previous materials ?
A. It works using any kind of light. B. It works more quickly and effectively. C. It is widely found in nature. D. It can be used for all kinds of fabrics .
3. What might be a problem with the self-cleaning material ?
A. It will cause pollution. B. It costs too much to produce. C. It breaks down easily in the sun. D. It might cause health problems
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. There may be many other kinds of self-cleaning fabric in the future . B. We can already buy self-cleaning clothes on the market. C. This was the first time that scientists discovered titanium dioxide. D. Titanium dioxide is widely used in the food industry.
