A long weekend is a great opportunity to do something a little different. Many people use a long weekend for a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.
Hotel Romance
Many hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagnes (香槟酒), flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart shaped bed, for example. Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.
Visit a Spa
Spa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths. Most spas offer a range of massage (按摩), health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits.
Learn a Skill
A long weekend may not be enough time to become an expert at something new, but it provides a way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive(集中的)courses that last two or three days. People with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak a new language, or take better photos.
Help Others
Some organizations cooperate with businesses to have accommodations and activities for short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the stone time.
Stay in a National Park
For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins (小屋) within the parks available to rent. A getaway to a national park provides privacy, stress relief, and the time to get to know some important natural resources.
52. The underlined word "getaway’’ in this passage most probably means_____.
A. an exciting exploration B. an interesting location
C. a short vacation D. an unforgettable experience
53. It can be learned from the text that_____.
A. spas are offered in the tourist attractions all over the country
B. intensive courses of some organizations help people get away from home

In 1854, Louis Pasteur assumed the duties of a professor at a university in France. Meanwhile, he conducted studies to find out what caused milk and other drinks containing alcohol to become sour. His breakthrough came when he discovered that the souring was caused by bacteria in the liquid. He then developed a process through which the bacteria could be removed by boiling the liquid and then cooling it. This method, called pasteurization in his honor, became widespread.
At that time, silk producers were suffering because the eggs of the worms that made the silk were dying from an unknown disease. Pasteur discovered the bacteria that were killing the eggs and developed a method to kill the germs.
Pasteur next turned his attention to rabies, a deadly disease that animals transferred to humans. Many people thought Pasteur was wasting his time, but Pasteur ignored their doubts and continued his efforts to find a cure for rabies. One of his patients was a sick boy, whose mother had turned to Pasteur for help. Pasteur told the mother that he had invented a vaccine that was strong enough to kill the invisible enemy. He said that he would use a needle to inject the vaccine into the boy. The vaccine would then fight the germs, just like a soldier fights in a war.
That boy was the first person to receive the vaccine, and the treatment was a success. After that, no one had to be afraid of rabies anymore. People who had laughed at him before, now respected him. Pasteur had believed in himself and had not given up. He had won the battle with the enemy.
21. Pasteur helped the ________ industry with the method named after him.
A. construction B. energy C. beer D. service
22. Why does Pasteur compare his rabies treatment with soldiers?
A. To encourage people to pity the man.
B. To imply that the vaccine was strong.
C. To express his feelings about wars.
D. To show that the germs could be useful.
23. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The teaching techniques that Pasteur employed.
B. Pasteur’s interest in a key manufacturing process.
C. Pasteur’s psychological issues and their treatment.
D. The advances that Pasteur achieved in his field.

New research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue; you may also be seeing it differently. Your mood may affect how you see the world around you, according to a new study. A team of researchers has proved that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.
The team, led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester, found that people who had a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis (轴), compared to people who weren’t feeling sad.
“We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena, like mood, even when these concepts seem unrelated,” Thorstenson said in a statement. “We thought maybe a reason why these metaphors (比喻) appear was that there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way.”
Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition. In 2010, Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first proved a link between mood and identifying colors. This was supported by a 2013 paper by Johnson Fam of the University of Singapore.
The team conducted two studies. In the first, 127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips, which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness or amusement. They didn’t do that in a specific order. The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color changes. The group that had been shown the sad clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis.
For the second study, 130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral (中性的) one. The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group.
29. If one _______, the colors he sees might be different from those in others’ eyes.
A. is in a good mood B. has an eye illness
C. attends a speech D. doesn’t feel happy
30. Who were the first to find out the link between mood and identifying colours?
A. Thorstenson and Johnson. B. Thorstenson and his team.
C. Johnson and his team. D. Emaneuel and his team.
31. The sadness group in the second study _______.
A. felt happy when watching the video
B. performed better than the other
C. were less able to identify some colours
D. could only identify blue and yellow

Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first
women ever to be employed by the government.
Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.
When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.
After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night — her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”
In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission (使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.
Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.
32．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was _____.
A. honest B. caring C. talented D. modest
33．After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton _____.
A. joined the army and fought bravely B. went to Europe for further study
C. continued to work as a teacher D. did a lot to help soldiers
34．Seeing Clara Barton’s arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt _____.
A. excited and grateful B. proud and joyful
C. shy and nervous D. sad and sorry
35．What is mainly described in Paragraph 5?
A. The aim of the American Red Cross. B. The importance of voluntary donations.
C. Clara Barton and the American Red Cross. D. Clara Barton’s contribution to the Civil War.
