The Best Places To Watch Fireworks This Fourth Of July
CALIFORNIA: LIGHTS ON THE LAKE (LAKE TAHOE)
Launched from boats on the shore of Lake Tahoe, this show is considered one of the biggest such displays in the West, which means the fireworks are visible all over town. If you’re worried about getting a seat, park your picnic at the El Dorado Beaches before 9:45 p.m. Or you can take the road less traveled and hike to the top of Mount Tallac for an unforgettable and best view of the display. Just remember you’ll have to hike down, so bring a headlight.
DELAWARE: REHOBOTH BEACH
Launched from the beach south of Rehoboth Avenue, these fireworks are visible up and down the boardwalk and beach. So jump on the Jolly Trolley(观光车) early and spend your whole day at the beach. There’s even live music after the fireworks. Note: This year’s fireworks display is scheduled for July 1, 2018.
FLORIDA: SERTOMA’S 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS (PENSACOLA BAY)
The Gulf Coast knows how to celebrate the Fourth of July. With vendors, arts and crafts, kid-friendly activities and live entertainment, this fun-filled day in Old Seville culminates(达到高潮) with the largest fireworks display in the area. Unfortunately the pony rides and face painting are only for the kids, though.
GEORGIA: DAHLONEGA’S 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION
Pack up your lawn chairs, blankets and coolers and head about an hour outside of Atlanta to the University of North Georgia. It’s even pet friendly — just make sure your dog can take the noise. And if you get to town early enough (11 a.m.), there’s a Fourth of July parade that aims to put all other Fourth of July parades to shame.

As a first responder, you never know what type of situation you might walk into, or who you’ll meet along the way. That’s definitely been the case for Jeffrey Lanenberg, a 51-year-old paramedic(急救医务人员) since 1984.
Ten years into the job, Lanenberg received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Lanenberg and his partner arrived at the scene, they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious, making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to defibrillate(除颤) and calm the man to keep him under control. After Lanenberg dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital, he thought about the man and his family for a long time.
Lanenberg thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago, where he met a man repeatedly walk back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out, the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.
"You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I’d have," the man said. He thanked Lanenberg repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet. He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20-something-year-old man. Lanenberg instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago.
"That day changed my life," Lanenberg said. "Before that, everything was about work…When I talk to my beginner-training class, I tell them you never know the impact you can have on someone’s life."
4. What did Lanenberg do with the young man?
A. He gave the man the first aid. B. He cured the man at the scene.
C. He only sent the man to hospital. D. He took care of the man’s wife and son.
5. What did Lanenberg think of the encounter with the man?
A. It was unbelievable. B. It was a common routine.
C. It was a matter of course. D. It was a dangerous situation.
6. Why was the man thankful to Lanenberg?
A. Lanenberg helped bring up his little son.
B. Lanenberg donated to support his family.
C. Lanenberg gave him the present happy life.
D. Lanenberg taught his son to be a new doctor.
7. How did the meeting change Lanenberg’s life?
A. He changed his attitude to his job.
B. He was rewarded with much money.
C. He got a promotion to be a team leader.
D. He took up teaching work to train newcomers.

While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be "taught" by a digital teacher. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.
The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s "Be sustainable with energy"— a free program for Auckland elementary schools.
Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.
Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, "I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future."
The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, "What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention." However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.
8. What was special for some elementary school students in Auckland?
A. A digital teacher taught them. B. They first saw something digital.
C. This was the start of a new school year. D. They could get close to smartphone screen.
9. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?
A. It can smile back. B. It can use microphone.
C. It can change if necessary. D. It can talk any topic for free.
10. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful.
C. Unclear. D. Disapproving.
11. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. New High-tech Contributes to Education
B. New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in Classrooms
C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to Students
D. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classrooms

In January 1958, Rachel Carson received a letter from her friend Olga Owens Huckins. Huckins lived in an area of Massachusetts where the state was trying to get rid of mosquitoes. They had used planes to spray (喷) a mixture of fuel oil and DDT (a pesticide, which can kill pests such as insects, weeds and rodents) all over the area around Huckins’ home. DDT was supposedly harmless but, the morning after the spraying, Huckins found several of her favorite birds dead outside her house. And the spraying did not even kill all of the mosquitoes; in fact, that summer there were more of them than ever before. Huckins asked Carson if she knew someone in Washington that could help prevent future spraying.
Carson had been hearing about DDT since a Swiss chemist discovered it could be used to kill insects in 1939. To many people, DDT seemed like a miracle substance. Farmers were excited about saving their crops from pests. Doctors and others were excited about saving people’s lives by killing disease-carrying insects. But to Carson, DDT appeared to be dangerous to all living creatures.
The more Carson found out about DDT and other pesticides, the more she realized that she needed to help stop future spraying. Carson decided to write a book about pesticides. She said, "There would be no future peace for me if I kept silent." She called her book Silent Spring.
Carson had spent her life studying, observing, and writing about nature. She was a trained biologist and a talented writer who knew how to present scientific information in compelling stories. Before Silent Spring, she had written other books from the perspective of fish, birds, islands, and oceans. Carson knew that all things in nature exist in a delicately (微妙地) balanced ecosystem. In Silent Spring, Carson wrote that although the ecosystem can adjust to changes, it needs time. Carson believed that people in the 1950s were using pesticides carelessly. Nature didn’t have time to adjust, wrote Carson, because so many pesticides had been used in such large quantities in such a short time.
12. Why did Huckins write a letter to Rachel Carson?
A. To tell her some bad news. B. To turn to her for help.
C. To advise her to write a book. D. To ask her some questions.
13. Which of the effects the spraying of the mixture in Massachusetts had is right?
A. It killed pests such as insects, weeds and rodents around Huckins’ home.
B. It killed all of the mosquitoes.
C. It had bad effects on ecosystem.
D. There were more birds than ever before.
14. Who would not be happy with DDT?
A. Gardeners. B. Farmers. C. Doctors. D. Biologists.
15. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Rachel Carson’s research on nature B. Rachel Carson’s life
C. Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring D. DDT’s bad effects on ecosystem
