22、   A friend and I once got lost on the top of Glyder Fawr, a mountain in North Wales. It was snowing and we couldn’t see more than two meters in front of us. Luckily we met some more experienced walkers. We followed them and returned safely. Meeting other walkers on quite a cold January day wasn’t really so surprising, because walking is the UK’s most popular sport.

Many people believe that the popular walking brought about 20 special long paths(小路) for walking in Britain. The longest is the Southwest Coast path(1014km). The most exciting one is the West Highland Way in Scotland because it passes through mountain areas. It ends at the bottom of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain.

There are also a few basic rules(规则) you should follow when you are walking on the paths. Don’t drop litter, keep your dogs around you if there are farm animals in the area, and always stay on the path.

Remember that British weather can change very quickly, especially in the north and west of the country. If you are in Wales, Scotland or the north of England, you would need to carry enough food and water with you. It is also important to wear warm and thick clothes. Carry a map and compass so that you won’t get lost. These paths are the best way to enjoy Britain’s wonderful countryside.

【1】The writer thinks it’s _______ to meet other walkers in cold weather in Britain.

A.strange B.terrible C.common D.boring

【2】The most exciting path for walking in Britain is _______.

A.Ben Nevis B.the West Highland Way

C.wear some thick clothes D.let your dog be around you

24、Should kids do chores? In our country, many parents believe that their children should not do chores. Some of them feel that their 【1】 (child) schoolwork is very important and that chores only take time away f【2】 those more important lessons. Some parents feel it’s just easy to do the job 【3】 (them)—chores for kids would w【4】 too much of their time. Still other parents would say, “You’re only young once.” and feel that children should have more playtime 【5】 (enjoy) themselves.

It is also important for us to teach them life s【6】 when we care about their schoolwork. When our kids are at home with us, we need to d【7】 their independence by making them do some chores.

Our kids hope to help out with chores at a very young age. Most young children really like to help their parents—they want to spend time with parents and 【8】 (do) the same things as their parents do. If you have young children, now it’s the b【9】 time to invite them to help out with the chores. You will find them very 【10】 (happy) to do that.
