10、ial ceremony signifying a new life stage. Unlike package tours, backpacking is a struggle, full of discovery and chance connections. It is about focusing on something different from our own lives and losing ourselves in a new world, if only for a moment. Well, thats what backpacking Europe is suppos

11、ed to do. Thats what it used to do before modern communications, social media, and commercial hostelling (旅社). Older Canadians would not recognize the Europe that they backpacked in the 1960s, 1970s and even the 1980s. Far from a rough adventure into foreign cultures, the European experience has bee

12、n shattered in part by todays technology.A few years ago, I took my then 60-year-old father on a backpacking trip across part of Europe and Turkey. As he is an experienced traveler and someone who possesses a strong sense of adventure, I decided that wed travel on a budget, staying in hostel dorms.

13、For him, backpacking through Europe in 1969 was about independence and struggle. But two things surprised him at the end of our journey. First was how technology-based backpacking had become: Young people were so directly connected to home that they were hardly away in any meaningful sense. Second,

14、the lack of connections we made with locals. Instead of making us feel closer to a place, he found commercial hostelling actually made us more alienated (疏远的).But there was some room for hope. While technology takes our attention away from the beauty and history before us, there were also ways in wh

15、ich it helped us to connect with our surroundings. Websites like Airbnb have made it easier to stay with enthusiastic locals. Couch Surfing helps organize meet-ups between locals and travelers. The online marketplace Dopios offers a chance to meet locals through enjoyable experiences like a personal

16、ized city tour.Backpacking can never be the way it was for our parents generation. But doing a little study of history and culture before leaving, and bravely getting rid of any electronic devices while traveling, will help give young travelers a taste of the glory days.24.

19、d traveling C. young people and their family D. Canadian travelers and Europeans CThink about the last time you felt afraid. Was it a fear of height? Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear youd get into trouble at the office? In any case, you know what it feels like to feel fear. But one woman does

20、nt The woman, code-named “UM”, gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers. The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid. UM cant tell you what fear is because s

21、hes never experienced it. “I wonder what its like to actually be afraid of something,” she said. The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease, which is characterized by a hoarse(粗哑的)voice, small bumps around the eyes, and calcium deposits(钙沉积的)in the brain. In the case of UM, the disease

22、has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear. In the interview, UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint, “I was walking to the store, and I saw a man on a park bench.He said. “Come here, please,” so I went over to him. He gr

23、abbed me by the shirt, put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me. I told him, “Go ahead and cut me,” I wasnt afraid at all. And for some reason, he let me go.” Doctors who have been studying UMs condition for years have been trying different things that could strike fear into her.

24、They finally figured something outincreasing UMs carbon dioxide levels.Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals.

27、f panic.C. Experiencing another danger. D. Speaking with a hoarse voice.DWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not ev

28、en a surprise that most of them are still in their pajamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule. All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main proce

29、sses which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep. This is opposed to the “ea

30、rly bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that

31、 about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” - the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls, this gives them an excellent excuse for missing the
