The best day trips from Chicago

Making big travel plans can be difficult. Luckily, you don’t need a plane ticket or even a hotel reservation to have a fun change of lifestyle. A simple day trip from Chicago is cheap and easy. These quick trips from Chicago are just a few hours away by car or train.

Fennville

Many people wait until fall to go to western Michigan’s fruit belt. But there’s an area where you can go a couple of months earlier, when the stone fruits like peaches and cherries are ready for picking. The town of Fennville is a great base for tasting the region’s sweet fruit. You can also make your way to Salt of the Earth for wood-fired pizza and seasonal dishes.

South Bend

There’s a lot to enjoy in South Bend. Check out the city’s cultural side with an afternoon visit to the History Museum, which was once home to the family of a local industrialist and inventor—James Oliver. When you are hungry, head for Café Navarre, a restaurant housed in a repurposed 20th-century bank.

Madison

Located between two lakes, Madison is a city filled with beautiful sights in addition to all the cheese and beer you’ve heard so much about. Begin your visit with a special tour on two wheels. You can rent a bike, which allows you to make 30-minute trips around the city. Lake Monona is surrounded (环绕) by The Capital City path and along the path are plenty of stops where you can take wonderful photos of the skyline.

Gurnee

The village of Gurnee draws 23 million visitors each year. Start your day by having brunch at The Chocolate Sanctuary, where you can taste homemade bread with chocolate strawberries.

This year’s Winter Olympics were held in two areas, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou. The areas get cold in winter but get little natural snow. That meant some serious changes were needed to hold the Winter Olympics. The Winter Olympics took place on almost 100% artificial (人工的) snow and it was the first time in Olympic history.

China took water from a reservoir (水库) which helps supply Beijing’s drinking water and sent it to a nearby river. To carry the water to the mountains for making snow, the country ran miles and miles of pipes.

China hired an Italian company called TechnoAlpin to create the snow. TechnoAlpin created artificial snow at several earlier Winter Olympics. For the snow in this year’s Olympics, TechnoAlpin laid over 64 kilometers of pipe and brought in hundreds of snow-making machines. Even with all of those machines, making the snow for this year’s Games took seven weeks.

It’s useful to be able to make snow when nature doesn’t provide enough. But artificial snow isn’t the same as natural snow, which has more air and less water. An athlete used to natural snow might have to change their style on man-made snow.

Still, the machines that make artificial snow are quite advanced. They can make several different kinds of snow depending on what’s needed for each sport. For example, the snow they make for downhill skiing is different from the snow made for cross-country skiing.

In recent years, it has become more and more common to use artificial snow at winter sports events. That’s true even in places that used to have a lot of snow naturally. Some artificial snow was used in the Winter Olympics in 2010 and 2014 because of warm weather. In the 2018 Games in South Korea, nearly 90% of the snow was man-made.

As the world warms because of climate change, problems like this are expected to become far more common. Michael Mayr, who leads TechnoAlpin, says, “You couldn’t have winter sports now without man-made snow.”

4. Where was the artificial snow in this year’s Winter Olympics created?

A. In a river. B. In the mountains.

C. In the pipes. D. In a reservoir.

5. What is the advantage of man-made snow?

A. It has more air and less water. B. It is more environmentally-friendly.

C. It can improve athletes’ performance. D. It can be made for the need of each sport.

6. What has made it more common to use artificial snow at winter sports events?

A Advanced technology. B. A shortage of water.

C. Air pollution. D. Climate change.

7. What can be the best title for the text?

A. The Future of the Winter Olympic Games

B. The History of Man-Made Snow for Winter Sports

C. The Man-Made Snow Behind China’s Winter Olympics

D. The Secret to Creating Artificial Snow for Winter Sports

“When a wildfire destroys a forest, what is a good choice for recovering what has been lost? Across the world, there have been many types of agriculture, so how do you affordably replant the destroyed land? And that’s where our technology comes in, ” says Grant Canary, CEO of DroneSeed, a Seattle developer of a drone (无人机) data platform. DroneSeed will fly drones to prepare for a new forest on top of the one that has been burnt. Carrying 57 pounds of tree seeds, the drones work in teams to find destroyed areas and spread seeds. They are six times faster than planting seedlings by hand. This can also help make the cost of planting seedlings 60-70% less than that of traditional reforestation (再造林).

DroneSeed can substitute for human tree planters. Tree planters do a valuable job well, but there are fewer tree planters due to the difficulty and low pay of the work. Meanwhile, the work of replanting a forest after a fire is beyond the abilities of human labor. Luckily, drones can send dozens of seed packets. This has many advantages. It removes unwanted and dangerous jobs from both planters and pilots whose near-ground work is difficult. A truck with a line of drones can prepare more and cover far more ground than human operations. And the process is easily observed and controlled.

Jay Zaveri, a partner at Social Capital, said, “Global reforestation is important in fighting against climate change, so we’ve helped DroneSeed from the very start. Since then, DroneSeed has put in its efforts to reforest land, found a successful way, and changed the experience of forest development.”

DroneSeed is a one-stop shop for reforestation services. DroneSeed has got a fund of $36 million. The company will use some funds to buy Silvaseed, a 130-year-old company, to expand  (扩大) its seed collection and planting services. In addition, DroneSeed plans to expand further to meet the growing need for reforestation assistance by the middle of next year. And it will add more reforestation projects and expand its services to more places in the future.

8. Why does the author mention Grant Canary’s words?

A. To tell us the serious damage of wildfires.

B. To point out the difficulty of saving burned forests.

C. To show the importance of environmental protection.

D. To introduce the idea behind DroneSeed’s technology.

9. What is mentioned about DroneSeed?

A. It develops high-tech drones. B. It works for forest rebuilding.

C It can find wildfires in advance. D. It joins hands with local farmers.

10. What does the underlined phrase “substitute for” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Train. B. Encourage.

C. Take the place of. D. Provide protection for.

11. What are Jay Zaveri’s words mainly intended to tell us?

A. DroneSeed has done an amazing job in reforesting destroyed land.

B DroneSeed’s method should be applied to more areas.

C. People should pay more attention to climate change.

D. Global reforestation has made very little progress.

D

Since COVID-19 began, there’s been a huge focus on the importance of indoor air quality since many of us have spent an increasing amount of time inside. Houseplants have become extremely popular in recent years, but can indoor plants clean air?

Scientists studying the effectiveness of indoor plants for the removal of ozone (臭氧) found houseplants make “at best, small contributions of about 0.9-9% to indoor ozone removal effectiveness”. The tests, performed in a laboratory to simulate (模拟) the effects on a typical US home, found houseplants hardly affected the environment. To make a meaningful difference to the air quality of your home, you’d need to fill a room from top to bottom with plants, the scientists suggest. But which type of plant functions the best? Sadly, science doesn’t have the answer yet.

During COVID-19 lockdowns, many of us decided to get our hands dirty and get into gardening — but was there any health benefit to us? As well as improving your mood (心情), gardening can reduce stress, improve productivity and even increase the ability to suffer pain, says the Royal Horticultural Society. A recent study of young adult males found that indoor gardening lowered stress levels compared to the demands of completing a computer task. When sitting in front of a computer and asked to complete a task, the males had an increase in blood pressure, heart rates, and stress that wasn’t present when they were gardening.

Introducing more plants to the home can have benefits, but are indoor plants safe for pets? Most people know that tomato plants are dangerous to dogs, but many other species also threaten the health and well-being of our pets. What happens if your pet does eat your plants? Alexander Campbell of the Veterinary Poisons Information Service (VPIS) said ,“In many cases, animals suffer little. There are a few cases where they suffer more serious problems.” One of the biggest challenges for animal doctors is to know what a pet has eaten, researchers warn. The simple solution is to remove any known harmful plants from your home or garden.

12. What may be the key to indoor plants’ air-cleaning ability?

A. Their colors. B. Their shapes.

C. Their species. D. Their numbers.

13. What does the author want to stress about gardening with the study in Paragraph 3?

A. It is growing in popularity.

B. It is good for people’s health.

C. It can raise people’s productivity.

D. It can be more interesting than computer games.

14. What’s the author’s advice for people keeping pets?

A. Creating a balanced diet for pets.

B. Choosing indoor plants without fruits.

C. Taking pets for physical examinations regularly.

D. Keeping harmful indoor plants away from pets.

15. What would be the best title for the text?

A. How to take care of indoor plants?

B. Why should we have indoor plants?

C. How to improve your gardening skills?

D. Why is it important to learn gardening?
