Hiking can be a pleasant as well as a not so pleasant adventure. You will have to take a number of measures so that your hike is a pleasant experience.
Hiking Tip 1 — Start Early
Most hiking experts hold the opinion that it is rather sensible to start hiking at 3 or 4 in the morning, even if it is a full-day hike. Since most hikes are conducted at high altitudes, starting off early will make sure that you are back down during the afternoon hours.
Hiking Tip 2 — Be Light
Since we are anyway talking about the load you will carry, another important hiking tip is to carry fewer loads. If you are going on a hiking trail on a familiar path, you will need reduced survival items, as chance that you will get lost or hurt yourself on these hiking trails is little.
Hiking Tip 3 — Reduce the Number of Breaks
Once you start your hike, you should make sure you do not take too many breaks. You will need to maintain a consistent speed and minimize the number of stops which you take. Speed and rest stops help distinguish an inexperienced hiker from an expert hiker. An inexperienced hiker will have bursts of speed and energy and it will be followed by rest stops. This results in slowing down the general speed.
Hiking Tip 4 — Tip for Children
Do you plan to take your kids along with you on the hiking trail? Well, then you must be looking for hiking tips for kids! You will have to educate them about nature and also get them into an exercise routine before taking them on a hike. Kids have a tendency to run in the beginning. This exhausts them and they have to be carried, which is certainly not the best of ideas.
1.You are advised to start hiking early in order to ________.
A. finish your hiking in a day
B. enjoy your hiking completely
C. avoid getting tired
D. get back down early
2.What should you do if you are going hiking on an unfamiliar trail?
A. Carry enough survival items.
B. Keep a high speed.
C. Start hiking in the afternoon.
D. Carry fewer loads.
3.According to the text, inexperienced hikers ________.
A. don’t keep a consistent speed
B. will easily get lost
C. choose well-established paths
D. don’t stop to rest
4.If you want to take a kid for hiking, you should ________.
A. make sure of his safety
B. prepare him for it
C. educate him about hiking
D. give him some tips

Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast," Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.
Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.
Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.
The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.
Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places — including some museums and stadiums — worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.
Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful.”
Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set park wide bans.
1.Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?
A. smart phonesB. folding chairs
C. camerasD. containers
2.According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.
A. abandon them at the bag check
B. get fined and pick them up later
C. turn them in to the police
D. put them in the trunk of their cars
3.The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.
A. changingB. broadeningC. blockingD. narrowing
4.According to the passage, it can be inferred that __________.
A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security
B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides
C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally
D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide

Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate. And the sad truth is that “clothing mismatches” on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)—and the people with whom he or she comes in contact.
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company’s attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance.
This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional ” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices, recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days.
Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man—and the woman. When in doubt, always misjudge on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to dress properly in a business setting.
B. A president of a company should dress differently from a secretary or sales assistant.
C. The differences between professional and casual dress.
D. Improper dress will make a person feel uncomfortable.
2.Which of the following statements is true?
A. Every company has strict rules regarding office dress.
B. You can wear whatever you like if your company doesn’t have standards for dressing.
C. You should dress according to the business setting even when there are no fixed rules.
D. In companies with relaxed rules on office dress, you can’t spot a manager among others.
3.Which statement best describes “dress-down days”?
A. We can’t judge a person’s taste by his clothes on dress-down days.
B. People’s clothes on dress-down days don’t receive much attention.
C. On dress-down days, you can wear whatever you like.
D. People are usually more careful about what they wear on dress-down days than on other occasions.
4.Which of the following is NOT the rule in the passage with regard to business dress?
A. For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently.
B. Remember to ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.
C. Think about how other guests will wear if you are invited to a dinner.
D. Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for a certain occasion.
