Here, we’ve gathered some lovely finds for you, hoping you’ll pause from the hustle and enjoy these wonderful moments that brighten life.Copperwood TrailConnecting humans and horses, Copperwood Trail offers a diverse range of experiences in Whitchurch-Stouffville. From country coffee in the company of horses and Equine Assisted Learning sessions, to introductory courses on horse behaviour and body language, it has something for everyone. This peaceful family farm is committed to providing a safe, quiet rural escape for all visitors eager for close contact with animals and nature.Four Seasons HotelTo mark the arrival of summer, Four Seasons Hotel has opened its seasonal patio. With a new menu and annual mural installation, it shows respect for the French Riviera and Mediterranean coastline. The mural is created by Victoria Sequeira, who says, “I want to spark a visual journey for guests — one full of warmth, peace and a touch of Mediterranean magic.”River CottageSince its debut (首次亮相) on British television’s Channel 4 in 1999, River Cottage has had a positive influence on the country’s eating habits and the welfare of its animals and fish. It’s currently home to a cookery school, dining experiences and a calendar of events.

What is the purpose of this textA．To introduce stress-relieving tips.B．To advertise popular attractions.C．To recommend pleasant getaways.D．To explore nature-friendly ways.2. If you’re a mural lover, which will you chooseA．Copperwood Trail.B．Four Seasons Hotel.C．River Cottage.D．Green Hill Gardens.3. What do Copperwood Trail and Green Hill Gardens have in commonA．They are managed by a family.B．They have eco-friendly practices.C．They focus on animal protection.D．They provide many craft activities.BThe light is pouring through the windows as I stare attentively at a violin-shaped piece of wood in my hands. I run my fingertips over the rough surface to feel for imperfections that will need to be removed. “Violin making is easy,” my teacher used to joke, “just take away all the bits of wood that aren’t a violin.”By the time I’m in my workshop holding this piece of wood, I’ve already been up for many hours. I’m an early riser. After coffee, I head out for an hour-long walk with my dog, Eggs. Most of my ideas come to me during morning walks, including my proudest project to date: a violin I made for a film supporting the Right to Roam campaign, which advocates for public access to the countryside in the landscape. The violin has become the community’s shared treasure for local folk players to take into the hills and play.I love walking into my workshop in the morning. My work varies from small adjustments to more extensive work requiring a careful handling of the violin as a historical object. You never know what you’ll find inside an old violin. One of my favorite repairs involved a violin full of cracks. When I removed the front of it, I found its inside filled with pencil signatures from makers of the past. One read, in beautiful old calligraphic writing: “Le Petit Luthier à Paris, 1825”.Although many heritage crafts, like violin making, play a vital role in cultural economy, they’re usually not big money earners. My choice of job also informs my lifestyle. While my friends devote time to travel and spend money on luxuries, I invest my time in community, nature, and my growth as a craftsperson. I didn’t truly find my way to those things, or realize how much fulfilling they are, until I began working as a violin maker.4. What’s required to be a violin makerA．Good sense of humor.B．Keen eyes and sensitive touch.C．Good knowledge of technology.D．Rich experience in cutting wood.5. Why does the author value the film project so muchA．It is for public welfare.B．It is loved by the folk players.C．It is highly ranked by experts.D．It was shown in a famous film.6. What impressed the author most about the old violin she repairedA．The fine skill it showed.B．The person who crafted it.C．Traces of history it carried.D．Severe damage it suffered.7. What does the author want to convey through his storyA．Love will find a way.B．Still water runs deep.C．Actions speak louder than words.D．The best things in life are not material.CIn April 2026, NASA released stunning new photos of Earth taken by the Artemis II mission, marking the first time in 54 years that humans have captured our planet from the moon’s orbit. These breathtaking images, shot from the Orion spacecraft, show Earth as a bright blue and white sphere against the endless blackness of deep space. One iconic photo features our entire planet with glowing auroras near the poles and faint zodiacal (黄道带的) light in the quiet background.The photos were taken after the Orion capsule left Earth’s orbit and steadily headed toward the moon. Unlike ordinary satellite images, these pictures show Earth as a single, fragile “blue marble”, with clear views of vast continents, swirling (旋转) white clouds, and the thin atmosphere that protects all living creatures. Some shots even capture the sharp line between day and night, as well as faint city lights twinkling in dark regions.These images are more than just beautiful pictures. Dr. Kelsey Young, Artemis II lunar science lead, emphasized that such human-captured views provide “holistic perspectives” that satellites alone cannot reproduce. They serve as fundamental evidence of Earth’s breathtaking beauty and invisible fragility. Nicky Fox, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate associate administrator, noted the photos carry “critical data” for both Earth science and future lunar missions.The Artemis II mission follows the famous 1968 “Earthrise” photo from Apollo 8, which inspired the first Earth Day and greatly raised global environmental awareness. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman stressed that these images reinforce our “extraordinary responsibility to understand and protect our planet”. Today’s new photos carry the same meaningful message: we must spare no effort to protect our precious planet. Though the mission focuses mainly on lunar exploration, these distant views of Earth remind people that space exploration and environmental protection are closely and inseparably linked.In short, NASA’s latest Earth photos are not only a tribute to human exploration achievements but also a clear call to cherish and care for our common home. They vividly show that Earth is tiny and lonely in the vast universe, yet it remains full of endless life and warm hope.8. What can we know about the newly released Earth photosA．They were taken half a century ago.B．They mainly show stars in deep space.C．They fail to present natural sights on Earth.D．They were shot from lunar orbit by humans.9. What is implied about the photos in paragraph 2A．They present both natural scenery and human marks.B．They can fully reflect the inner structure of our planet.C．They are almost the same as traditional satellite images.D．They are taken when the spacecraft travels around the earth.10. What does the underlined word “holistic” in paragraph 3 probably meanA．Partial. B．Comprehensive. C．Practical. D．Accessible.11. What can we infer from the passageA．Moon exploration will cause ecological troubles.B．People have finished protecting the environment well.C．Space observation helps raise earth protection awareness.D．The old photo was taken to advocate environmental protection.DAre you a fan of birds If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than thatA new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ mental well-being.And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”12. What is the purpose of paragraph 1A．To introduce a phenomenon.B．To bring in the topic.C．To ask an interesting question.D．To provide background information.13. How did the researchers conduct the studyA．By analyzing previous studies.B．By observing the behavior of birds.C．By gathering feelings of participants.D．By studying people’s effect on birds.14. What does Hammoud think of the new studyA．Pioneering.B．Interesting.C．Conventional.D．Practical.15. What is the main idea of the textA．Bird watching has become a popular hobby.B．Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.C．Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.D．Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.七选五About a year ago, our dishwasher broke down.

It wasn’t because he never tried. His father taught him one summer when he was seven. He ran alongside him, holding the seat, and shouting “Keep pedalling (踩踏板)!” But Mark’s balance was terrible. He fell into the bushes, and both knees bled. After two weeks of trying, his dad sighed, “Maybe next year.” But that “next year” never came. The childhood shame stayed with him.Then, he grew up and had a family of his own. He never shared the secret with anyone but his wife, Lena. Most of the time, it didn’t matter. When friends invited him on bike trips, he volunteered to drive and bring snacks. When the kids were old enough to learn to ride, Lena offered to teach them.But lately, his twelve-year-old daughter Alice and seven-year-old son Bob were planning the first-ever “Family Bike Adventure.” They had picked a campsite (营地) by the lake and mapped a biking route around it. Every night, they’d argue about who would win the family race. Mark smiled through every conversation, but inside, his stomach tightened. In every other way, Mark was a perfect dad. He never missed a school event and could fix everything in the house. Admitting he couldn’t ride That was hard.So he made a plan. After the kids went to bed, he slipped out and wheeled a bike to the empty market parking lot to practise. But thirty years after that summer, his body still remembered nothing. The bike seemed to have a mind of its own, and he just couldn’t control it. His legs shook. His hands ached. Sometimes he would crash into the wall.The next day, Alice, a considerate girl, asked about his bruised (淤青的) knees. But he said nothing. After several nights, Lena said to him, “You don’t have to do this. The kids don’t care. No one can do everything.” Mark shook his head. “They think I can. Let me try a little longer.”One night, after he fell off the bike again, he heard a voice. “Dad ” His heart stopped.It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案阅读理解1.C 2.B 3.A 4.B 5.A 6.C 7.D 8.D 9.A 10.B 11.C 12.B 13.C 14.A 15.B七选五16.D 17.C 18.G 19.A 20.B完形填空21.B 22.A 23.C 24.B 25.D 26.C 27.A 28.D 29.D 30.B 31.A 32.D 33.C 34.C 35.D语法填空36.jointly 37.where 38.to recreate 39.marks 40.featured 41.offering 42.since 43.a 44.are separated 45.civilizations征文范文My Sports StoryIn the past, I was weak and easily tired because I seldom did sports. I often felt sleepy and couldn’t focus on my study.Later, I realized the importance of exercise. I began to keep running every morning and playing basketball with my classmates after school.Gradually, I have become stronger and more energetic. Sports not only build up my body but also help me relieve pressure. I truly believe regular sports are the best way to keep healthy and positive.读后续写范文It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. Seeing her dad struggling with the bike and his injured knees, Alice rushed forward to help him stand up. She comforted Mark gently and told him she had known his secret. She said sincerely that being a good dad never depended on riding bikes, and she and Bob loved him just the way he was. Mark was greatly relieved and moved by his daughter’s understanding. He finally let go of his long-held embarrassment and stopped forcing himself to practice.That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. He prepared delicious snacks and set up the tent carefully for his family. When the kids returned happily from the bike trip, they shared their interesting experiences with Mark excitedly. Mark listened with a big smile and enjoyed the warm family time. He realized that every person has weaknesses, and true family love is about acceptance and understanding rather than perfection.
