Story Walk at Lake Wilderness Arboretum
Lake Wilderness Arboretum and Maple Valley Library have partnered together to bring
a Story Walk to Maple Valley.Story Walk is an innovative approach to encouraging people to
get out and walk while enjoying wonderful children's books.With her wealth of experience,
Sharon Chastain,the children's librarian at Maple Valley Library,selects the best children's
books for the project.Then the pages are put in frames(配框)along Arboretum's Main Looping
Trail, so as you walk,you can read the book one page at a time while enjoying being
outside.Our hope is that this feature will provide people with a new way to see,learn and
experience the amazing world that we live in.
The Story Walk Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier and developed in
cooperation with Kellogg Hubbard Library.Since its start in 2007,the project has been warmly
welcomed in 50 states and 12 countries.
March Story Walk:
Looking for a reason to get outside?Take a walk at the Arboretum and read this month's
Story Walk selection,Trillions of Trees by Kurt Cyrus.This fun,rhyming story follows a
brother and sister as they turn a misunderstood phone call into a way to improve their
environment.Hard work,getting dirty,and accepting help from others lead the two on a
journey of planting a trillion trees.

Staten Island's Fresh-kills,once a dumping ground(垃圾倾倒场)for New Yorkers,is now
a breathtaking park.The first part was opened to the public in October.With its grassland,hills
and waterways offering hiking and superb bird-watching,this is a great example of urban
habitat restoration.
Fresh-kills,known for its stench,was in operation for 53 years.Locals used to avoid the
place and had to hold their breath when they passed by.It was the world's largest dumping
ground and was so huge that it could be seen from outer space.Fresh-kills was closed 22 years
ago,and 21 acres of it were opened in mid-October.
“I'm happy to see that this area has become a new green space.It is a home for local
plants and animals and gives the residents of Staten Island a place to be outdoors,exercise and
breathe fresh air.The newly opened park features walking paths,hiking trails,seven acres of
native seed plots,a bird-observation tower,and a deck that overlooks the hills,grassland and
waterways,says a local called Adams.“I used to avoid approaching the place,but now I'm
looking forward to exploring it.”
This project is entirely focused on environmental management.Solar panels provide
lighting in the parking lot and restrooms,while the toilets are composting(堆肥), returning
waste to soil.A complex system was used to decompose the landfill waste and to protect the
new topsoil.There are also plans to reuse the gas and liquid byproducts of the decomposing
waste.There was once 29,000 tons of trash dumped daily at Fresh-kills.Today,the site is
totally transformed,home to 1,000 acres of grassland habitat that was seeded with native grass
mix.This is attracting many birds that have not been seen for years.Locals will come to
Freshkills to relax and connect with nature.
24.What does the underlined wordstenchin paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Fresh air.
B.Breathtaking scenery.
C.Abandoned grassland.
D.Unpleasant smell.
25.What does Adams think of current Fresh-kills?

B.It has caused much waste.
C.It is environment-friendly.
D.It is strongly opposed by the locals.
27.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce a transformed place.

It is generally assumed that humans are the only species that deal with the persistence(持
续存在)of memory and the ability to remember friends and loved ones even if one has not
seen then fora long period of time.But humans may not be alone.New research has shown that
apes(类人猿)also recognize their friends even when they have not seen them in years.
Lead researcher Dr.Christopher Krupenye created this research due to his sense over the
many years when he worked with apes that individual chimpanzees or bonobos recognized
him even if they hadn't seen him for some time.
“You have the impression that they're responding like they recognize you and that to
them you're really different from the average zoo guest,”Krupenye said.“They're excited to
see you again.So our goal with this study was to ask:Do they really have a lasting memory for
familiar social partners?”
In order to test whether apes remember their friends,the researchers printed photos of
chimpanzees and bonobos who had died or left zoos in Edinburgh,Scotland,Belgium and
Japan.Then they showed those photos of the participating animals' former group mates
alongside photos of strange apes to the participating animals at the zoos.Using eye-tracking
technology,the researchers were able to confirm that the apes spent more time looking at their
friends than they did at the apes they were not familiar with.
The research team believes that apes' long term social memory can stretch back at least
26years.Additionally,they believe that this may indicate that like humans,chimpanzees and
bonobos can miss their friends and families.
Whatever the case,it is clear that this study shows that apes are more similar to humans
than previously thought.So the next time you visit the zoo,take some time to befriend your
local chimpanzees and bonobos.They may just remember you for many years to come.
28.What led Krupenye to do the research?
A.His years of work with apes.
B.His experience of visiting zoos.
C.His impression of a dying ape.
D.His relationship with zoo guests.
29.What did the researchers do to the participating animals?
A.They had them look at photos of other apes.
B.They used technology to improve their eyesight.
C.They allowed them to play with their former mates.
D.They asked them to live with strange apes for some time.
30.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.Some similarities between humans and apes.
B.The research team's expectations of the study.
C.Some tips on interacting with apes in the zoo.
D.The researchers' conclusions from the research.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.Apes Tend to Prefer Their Old Friends
B.Humans Can Make Friends With Apes
C.Apes Remember Their Friends As Well
D.Humans Are Quite Different From Apes

A brain implant allowed people with head injuries to function again.The deep brain
stimulation implant,developed by researchers at Stanford University,aims to boost activity
between the regions responsible for consciousness learning,memory,thinking and problem
solving.
During the early trial,five people with brain injuries reported they were able to
concentrate,read,remember and drive properly.The trial proved so effective that researchers
had trouble completing the final stage,which was to switch off the device for three random
participants-after two of the patients declined.
Gina Arata,a trial participant,said,“I couldn't remember anything.My left foot dropped,so
I'd trip over things all the time.I was always in car accidents,Since the implant,I haven't had
any speeding tickets.I don't trip anymore.I can remember how much money is in my bank
account.”
Researchers selected patients for the trial who had recovered from comas(昏迷 )with
brain systems believed to be still well preserved,but not functioning as well as previously.“In
these patients,those pathways are largely complete,but everything has been
down-regulated(下降),”said Dr Jaimie Henderson,a professor of neurosurgery.“It's as if the
lights had been darkened and there just wasn't enough electricity to turn them back up.The
researchers hoped that precise electrical stimulation of specific areas could turn
the“lights”back up,and created a virtual model of each participant's brain so they could trial
stimulation at different locations ahead of surgery.
Guided by the theory,Dr Henderson implanted the device in the five participants who
had sustained injuries between three and 18 years earlier.After allowing the device to bed-in
for two weeks,the participants spent 90 days with it turned on for 12 hours a day.At the end of
the 90-day treatment period,the participants had improved their mental processing speeds by
an average of 32 percent.
“This is a pioneering moment,”said Dr Nicholas Schiff,co-senior author of the
study.“Our goal now is to try to take the systematic steps to make this a therapy(疗法).This is
enough of a signal for us to make every effort.”
32.What made it hard to end the last stage of the trial?
A.Researchers' wrong solution to problems.
B.Participants' refusal to turn off the device.
C.The decrease in the number of participants.
D.Patients' unwillingness to pay for the trial.
33.Why does the author mention Gina Arata?
A.To present the patient's urgent need.
B.To warn about the dangers of speeding.
C.To prove the effectiveness of the device.
D.To show the difficulty of conducting trials.
34.What does the author intend to do by referring to the “lights”in paragraphs 5—6?
A.Prove a finding.
B.Explain a theory.
C.Draw a conclusion.
D.Present a new topic.
35.What do Dr Nicholas Schiff's words suggest?
A.The result of the trial is very encouraging.
B.He needs more evidence to support the trial.
C.The process of the trial is far from scientific.
D.The therapy has already been widely received.

Sometimes giving feedback(反馈)can be stressful.After all,you want your words to be
helpful and constructive,but you also don't want to make anyone feel bad.It's normal to be
nervous about how the other person will respond to your comments.A negative reaction might
hurt your relationship and make it harder for you to communicate in the future.__36__.Here
are some basic tips on giving feedback.
__37__
It's essential to give feedback in a timely manner.Don't wait until too long after a project
is finished or a performance has been given to provide your comments,or it might make your
feedback less meaningful.Delivering it too soon can also create problems.Most importantly,
ensure that the recipient knows they are going to get feedback.
Take a balanced approach
__38__.If you only focus on constructive feedback,the other person is much more likely
to walk away feeling pretty terrible about themselves.Instead,try providing some comments
on ways people can improve and grow,but balance it by delivering recognition and
acknowledgment of what they've done well.
Focus on actions,not personality traits(特征)
Feedback should focus on a person's specific behaviors and actions,not on their
character.When people think outcomes are caused by personal characteristics that can't be
changed,feedback is less likely to result in change.__39__
Look for ways to encourage self-reflection
Feedback shouldn't just be a list of pluses and minuses.Deliver it in a way that
encourages people to reflect on how they are doing,what they've done well and ways that they
might be able to improve.How do you do this?__40__.When noting things that might need
improving, you might ask,“What are some things you might do differently next time?”
A.Choose the right time
B.Inform the other person before you give feedback
C.Getting the other person involved is a great way to start
D.How people perceive your feedback depends on several factors
E.That's why learning how to give helpful feedback is so important
F.Great feedback should include both positive and constructive comments
G.However,focusing on how people can take action to improve makes them feel motivated

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The hours' drive from our home to the Newark,New Jersey,airport was only the first leg
of a long journey ahead.My husband,Max,was behind the wheel,but I couldn't relax.Once he
dropped me off,I would be traveling to England to visit our daughter on my own.
“It's not the nine hour flight that worries me,I said.“It's how to get to my daughter's
once I land.I'm really nervous,Getting to my daughter in Bath involved every form of ground
transportation—a bus,a train and even a short walk.
“There will be people around to help,”Max said patiently.“I'm sure you can make it.”I
was still nervous.But our daughter Whitney was spending a semester of college in Bath,
England. When she called a few days ago,she said she was terribly sick and cried.“I'm going
to take care of you,”I said,surprising myself.We couldn't afford two plane tickets to England,
especially in such a hurry.But one ticket for me was doable,and my daughter needed me.
Whitney had explained that I should fly to Gatwick and take a bus to the train station,where
I'd find a connection to Bath.The yellow house she was sharing with another girl was only a
short walk from the train station.On the same street,in fact.
At Newark,Max hugged me tightly as we said goodbye.You'll be fine,he said.I boarded
the plane for my direct flight.The seat was comfortable,but I was still uneasy.How would I
ever find my bus when the plane landed at Gatwick?Fortunately,a volunteer at the airport saw
my confusion and offered to help.His warmth refreshed me.He easily located my bus and
loaded my suitcase.I got on the bus with a wave to the volunteer,who assured me,“You'll be
fine.”
A few stops later,I was at the train station.I hurried to the ticket window.“Your train to
Bath leaves in five minutes,the agent said.“Perfect timing.”
