Follow this four-day route, and you’ll lose yourself in the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
Day 1 Overview Edinburgh
It was in Scotland’s capital city that J. K. Rowling started to plot the adventures of Harry and his pals. With
stoned streets, winding alleys and medieval (中世纪的) architecture, the city certainly has a few things in common
with the settings from the books and films. She wrote the early chapters in various cafes around the city’s Old
Towns.
Day 2 Overview travel to Fort William
Travel by train from Edinburgh to Glasgow. From there, you can take the West Highland Line toFort William.
This is a great way to see some famous spots from the window, including the mysterious Rannoch Moor, the place
where Death Eaters board the train in the movie Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.
Day 3 Overview all aboard the Hogwarts Express
Witness the sweeping cinematic scenery of the movie Harry Potter by booking a seat on the Jacobite Steam
Train. Stop for lunch in Mallaig and then make the return journey to Fort William. Please be sure to book the steam
train in advance, as it is exceedingly popular. By the way, it runs seasonally.
Day 4 Overview lakes and glens (峡谷)
In the films, mysterious, misty landscapes frame the background of Harry’s tale, so it’s no surprise that the
film producers chose the Highlands for many scenes. Spend a day wandering through some of these beautiful spots
and feel the magical atmosphere.

C. In Glasgow. D. In Fort William.

We all put our hands in the middle, ready for the “TIGERS!” shout. Andrew looked up, his face wrinkled in
confusion, and then loosed in relief he said, “Whoa, for a second I forgot there was a girl on this team. I was
wondering why there was one hand with painted pink nails!” The guys laughed, and I smiled, once again reminded
how cool it was that I was different. “1, 2, 3, TIGERS!” and we were off to the field.
My adventures as the only girl on my all-boys middle school football team were always interesting. Football is
,
known as being predominantly male. But I love football. Ever since I could walk I would get around the fields.
My dad is a huge football fan, and we spend many Saturday afternoons playing football in the yard or watching
games. Football is in my blood. So when signups came for the 7th- and 8th-grade team, I signed up. Who says a
girl can’t do it?
Back to Grade 7. Though it was strange for the guys to have me there, and a few felt embarrassed when they
heard they’d be tackling a girl, they got used to it. The coach treated me like anyone else, and the boys learned to
also. I did the drills, I tackled people, and I got tackled. By the time I got home every night, my body literally
crumbled into my bed. But it was all worth it. Game days were everyone’s favorite. Football is a team sport of
passion, pride and love. The coach would always tell us, “We win as a team: we lose as a team!”
To play well we needed to work as a team. Different as I was being the only girl, it didn’t matter. One person,
one girl, is not a big thing. I was a part of the team. The coach got us all together, and we’d once again shout
“TIGERS!”

Pinocchio may be just a children’s fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently
investigated this so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses don’t grow when we tell a lie, but actually
shrink a bit.
Dr. Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography (体温计) to tell if people
were lying and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tip of
their nose dropped up to 1.2℃, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientist also found
that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by
the human eye.
“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gómez Milán explained the
findings. “At the same time, we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.” For this study, researchers
asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while their temperature is scanned by technology. One of
these tasks required making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants
had to make up the lie themselves during the call. Interestingly, this lie detector picked up the temperature difference in
80 percent of the test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.
“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy”, said Dr. Gómez Milán, who added that law
enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve
better results.
8. Why does the writer talk about Pinocchio in the first paragraph?
A. To tell a fairy tale.
B. To give an example.
C. To talk about a scientist.
D. To introduce the topic.
9. What is “Pinocchio effect”?
A. Our noses will grow when we tell a lie.
B. Our noses will shrink when we tell a lie.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C. The temperature of the forehead falls if we lie.
D. The temperature of the student rises for anxiety.
10. How did Dr. Gómez Milán feel about the lie detector?
A. Doubtful. B. Surprised.
C. Confident. D. Puzzled.
11. What lesson can we learn from the text?
A. A lie will travel very hard.
B. Many ways to bring a liar to light.
C. A lie never lives to be old.
D. Once a liar always a liar for sure.

The wish to capture the wonder of nature on a smartphone or camera is understandable. People like the beauty
of nature and also want to share with their followers, friends and family, but our relationship with the outdoors
should not be centered around social media. The “do it for the ‘gram’” thought needs to be reconsidered.
Social media has undoubtedly helped attract more visitors to wild places. There are both good and bad sides
that come with an increased visitation to these sites. Visiting nature and observing wildlife can help people feel
more connected to wild plants and animals. These experiences may encourage more protection of natural spaces.
Yet increased traffic to these sites has also caused them harm. Spaces that are ill-equipped to deal with too many
visits experience environmental degradation, which in turn can endanger those who take photos by putting them in
dangerous situations. Search and rescue cases have increased by 38% in the last few years in LA County, some of
which were connected to adventurers trying to capture photos for their social media. Deadly falls in the outdoors
can and should be avoided with less photographing for social media.
Recently, one highly visited natural site stopped photography-only tours. Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona,
will no longer be allowing visits that are centered around cameras. Handheld phones will still be allowed, but large
tripods(三角架) and monopods(独脚架) will not be. This is a great first step that should be brought to other natural
settings, especially in places that have already been completely photographed by professionals.
It is necessary to free ourselves from technology every once and a while. The unhealthy attachment to
photography and social media feeds has created problems for humans and nature, and should be replaced with
practicing mindfulness while in the outdoors.
12. What does the underlined word “degradation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Change. B. Destruction. C. Construction. D. Depression.
13. What has been the result of visitors taking photos of nature according to the passage?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A. Serious traffic problems. B. Unnecessary travel costs.
C. Some unexpected deaths. D. Their watching fewer scenes.
14. What does the author suggest natural sites do?
A. Limit the number of visitors. B. Follow Antelope Canyon’s lead.
C. Warn visitors to take fewer photos. D. Just allow professional photographing.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Learn from professional photographers
B. Nature will punish those who damage it
C. Photos of nature are popular on social media
D. Don’t endanger yourself and nature for social media
