Most kids hate to see their summer end, perhaps none more than the Murset children. This summer, the Murset family decided to travel across the country to help families in need, which proved to be a wonderful experience.
People. comreported that Gregg Murset and his wife, Kami, decided to take their six children, ranging from 7 to 16 years old, from their home in Phoenix, Arizona, across the country to spend 20 days on the road to help 25 families in need. “I told the kids and my wife over breakfast that I wanted to do this,” Gregg Murset, 40, told People. com. “They all looked at me like I was crazy,” he said, “but when we started to read the stories of people we were going to help, their attitudes completely changed.”
Through Gregg’s company, he was able to be matched with groups such as Autism Speaks, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and others that connected the Mursets to families with children who have cancer and other serious illnesses.
“When you have a kid who is struggling, the last thing you’re thinking of is cleaning the house,” says Gregg.
The family traveled to many cities in their journey, including Albuquerque, Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, and Buffalo. The trip covered 6,500 miles. “It’s been amazing to watch my own children open their eyes and see that the world is bigger than they think,” he said. “Even the little kids are learning from this experience.”
And the families they’ve helped feel blessed to have met them. “They showed up at 8 a.m. and we had a list of things we needed help with,” said Jim Spencer, a 61-year-old father in Warren, Michigan, whose 12-year-old daughter, Lexi, was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer a couple of years ago.
The Mursets also used their travels as an opportunity to visit areas they had never been to, including the Statue of Liberty. But for Gregg, the main purpose of the trip was to teach his children to show concern for the happiness of other people rather than for themselves.
“There is nothing wrong with your kid getting off the sofa, doing some work and sweating,” said Gregg. “It’s good for the kid and it’s good for the soul.”
1. How did the kids feel when Gregg Murset first told the family about his plan?
A. Amazed. B. Excited.
C. Disappointed. D. Worried.
2.What did the family mainly do during their trip?
A. They toured places of interest.
B. They visited patients in hospital.
C. They worked with social groups.
D. They helped families in need of help.
3.During the trip, Gregg most wanted his kids to ________.
A. increase physical exercise
B. gain more geography knowledge
C. learn to be concerned about others
D. improve their communication skills

根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Instagram(抓拍神器)is a game．Getting likes and followers is no easy task．My sister routinely breaks 150 likes on Instagram，no sweat，because she just gets it．1. Here’s what to do and，more important，what not to do．

2．Also，don’t post too much．
I don’t care how much you’re feeling your look． 3. This isn’t a buffet：we want a very small piece of your life．Remember，“You can’t give the people too much or they will pass their eye over it quickly．”If you’re posting three to four times a week，others may“reevaluate your life”．I see no lies!!！
3．But if it is a big week in your life，feel free to post more than usual．
Of course，there’s always the exception to the rule． 4. The social media shouldn’t punish you for having a lot going on! Just remember to take it easy after．
4．5.
a．Be“natural and fun”．
b．Selfies are“not to be taken seriously”．
c．“Selfies should only be when you have a good one．”

Canyoning (蹦谷运动)
The sports of canyoning explore the high-energy environment where water meets rock on the coast, or in river canyons. Protected by wetsuits and helmets (头盔), people jump from cliffs (悬崖) and waterfalls and explore caves and river canyons that would not normally be arrived at.
It was pioneered in the U.K. by TYF Adventure (01437 721611, www.tyf.com) and several thousand people leap from the cliffs near St David’s each year. A half day canyoning trip costs ￡50 (￡30 for children under 16).
Scuba diving
Diving is not popular with British people. The challenges of wild waters are greater because the water is colder and not clear enough, but the coasts of Cornwall, Wales and Scotland have some of the best wreck diving in the world.
The British Sub Aqua Club (0870 112 9133 www.bsac.com) and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (01580 819688 www.padi.com) run courses teaching the important skills right up and to instructor level.
Surfing
The best surfing places in the UK are on the southwest coast where it is warmer and the surf is relatively steady, particularly in Cornwall. The best time of year to surf in the UK is late summer and autumn when water temperatures are at their mildest.
The British Surfing Association (01479 861256 www.britsurf.co.uk) has a list of famous surf schools around the country.
Rock climbing
The most popular natural rocks in Britain include the Peak District, the Lake District, coastal regions, while vast areas of Scotland are a climber’s paradise (天堂). Climbing courses and climbing walls can be located on the website of the British Mountaineering Council (0870 010 4878, www.thebmc.co.uk) which offers a series of short films that take the new climber through a step-by-step guide to visiting a climbing wall for the first time.
