I've been to a few music festivals like Glastonbury， the UK's biggest and most famous music festival. But I'd never been to one in China.

At the end of August， I went to the Xiami Music and Arts Festival in Aranya，Qinhuangdao. Although the main draw of the festival for me was Suede， a classic UK band，I still had a lot of fun enjoying the festival's other aspects.

Apart from the festival's huge stages and screens， excellent sound systems and peopledancing and singing with their friends and family， there were other surprises too. This wasthe first festival I'd been to located on a sandy beach！

Watching live music by the ocean was incredibly relaxing. Everyone had blow?upchairs you could buy and sit on comfortably to enjoy the music. Some people even hadcouches！ Often at music festivals， you're left standing the whole time， but Aranya was a bitmore peaceful. There were also more children and families in attendance than I've seen atUK festivals， and this was great to see.

As the day went on， my anticipation （期待） grew as I looked forward to seeing my fa?miliar band， Suede， who were the headliners： While Suede put on a good show， the most en?joyable surprise came from my unexpected discovery of and subsequent （随后的） fondnessfor the Chinese band The Life Journey. Unlike the seasoned Suede， these young performerswere clearly in their prime. They became famous after appearing on The Big Band. Playingafter the sun had gone down with bright lights coming from the stage， The Life Journeyreally captured my imagination with their variety of musical styles， beautiful vocals （歌唱）and positive lyrics and vibes （氛围）. Even with my limited Chinese， I was still able tohappily sing along.

Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence have been riding together for years. They have bothlived in Falkirk， Scotland their whole lives， but didn't meet until they got involved inCycling Without Age.“Despite the fact that we're 18 years apart in age， roughly， we bothwent to the same secondary school，”said Lyon， 74.

The 56?year?old Lawrence serves as a“pilot”， driving the trishaw—a bike with a pas?senger seat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides. They go for ridesabout once a week， often discussing the history of their town.“It gives me a connectionwith people from an older generation，”said Lawrence.“Unfortunately， I've lost both myparents; they're no longer with me. And for me， it gives that connection with older peopleand I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.”

Ole Kassow， who founded Cycling Without Age， said that's the power of the program.“The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories togetherto create new relationships，”Kassow said.“In my experience， friendships and the ability toform new relationships at any age are what define a good life， and often also a long andhappy life.”

Kassow started Cycling Without Age in Copenhagen in 2012， but there are now 2700chapters in 52 countries. John Seigel Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter. He hasone rule for passengers.“They ask，‘If I'm going to go for a ride， what's it going to cost？Isay，‘Here's what it costs： It costs， you have to wave. If you don't wave， I'm going to kickyou out，”he joked.

Boettner said，“When you take a 101?year?old woman for a bike ride and she holdsyour hand tightly and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek， it doesn't get anybetter than that.”

D. They graduated meantime.

Summer music festivals are in full swing， which means that thousands of enthusiasticfans are camping nearby， ready to party. Big problems appear， however， when it comes timefor them to leave. They just throw their things away and leave them for someone else toclean up—usually waste contractors （承包方） hired by the music festival. They collect allthings and throw them unsorted into a landfill.

Music festivals are environmental disasters when it comes to the amount of trash pro?duced， and this results mostly from festival?goers' strange disposable （用完即弃的） mental?ity. An estimated 80 percent of trash produced by music festivals comes from what's left be?hind by campers， such as sleeping bags， camp chairs， clothes， rubber boots and leftoverfood.

After the Isle of Wight Festival in the UK saw 10，000 abandoned （被丢弃的） tents in2011， some environmentally?minded people decided to take action. An international move?ment called“Love Your Tent”was started. The movement took over a single campgroundat the festival and ensured that every person who wanted to camp there signed a conductagreement that included promising to take their camping equipment home. Its first year in2012 was a success.

Unfortunately， it continues to be a battle. When“Love Your Tent”did a survey of stu?dents at Buckinghamshire New University last year， the result showed that 60 percent ofparticipants admitted to leaving tents behind in the past， even though 86 percent recog?nized that waste has an impact on the environment.

One major impediment to waste reduction is that camping equipment is cheap and ofpoor quality so that nobody sees the sense in packing up a dirty tent and taking it home toclean and reuse.

While there's no easy solution to this trash disaster， it's clear that music festival orga?nizers need to take responsibility for what their event creates， and demand that campersclean up their act. Organizers could also provide tent?recycling facilities for those peoplewho keep leaving tents behind. Camping， which is supposed to be a celebration of music，should never become a trash fest （集会）.

12. What happens after summer music festivals according to the text？

A. Waste contractors deal with trash properly.

B. Campers produce a huge amount of trash.

C. Festival organizers improve their organizational skills.

D. Festival?goers join environmental protection events.

13. What can we learn about the movement“Love Your Tent”？

A. It still faces challenges.

B. It is run only for music festivals in the UK.

C. It focuses on collecting abandoned tents.

D. It was set up by some festival organizers.

14. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word“impediment”in para?graph 5？

A. Factor. B. Clue. C. Obstacle. D. Concession.

15. What can festival organizers do to reduce trash？

A. Offer tent?recycling facilities.

B. Help waste contractors collect trash.

C. Sign a conduct agreement with the campers.

D. Limit the number of people attending the festival.

Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled Five Reasons to Thank Your WorkoutPartner.

Teen becomes a local hero

When Sydney Raley headed into her weekend shift on Saturday， December 18， shelikely expected to do more of the same： Stand at the drive?through window， take orders overthe headset， and hand each customer their meal with a smile.

In fact， that's exactly how it started. Sydney Raley has been working at a restaurant forabout seven months and so far， it's been her typical after?school job. The day had beenmostly normal—making coffee， making drinks， and going into the lunch rush.

But a few hours into her shift， things took a dramatic turn. After handing a customersome of their food， Sydney let them know that more would be coming as soon as it wasready. But just seconds later， she noticed a terrible look of panic spread across thewoman's face. Then came the coughing. She was coughing like crazy and was speechless.Her daughter was in the passenger seat and looked extremely confused and frightened.

Sydney immediately knew she was choking. The first?aid training Sydney receivedmore than four years ago hit her. Most teens might panic at the sight of this， but notSydney. Instead， the teen remained calm and quickly shouted at both her manager and thewoman's daughter to dial 911. Then， she dove through the drive?through window and cameto the rescue.

The teen pushed the driver's side door forcefully open and got the choking woman toher feet. Then she dug down deep into her memory bank to recall everything she learnedfrom her Red Cross babysitter class， which she'd taken four years earlier. All that trainingin how to use the Heimlich maneuver （海姆立克急救法） immediately kicked in. Still， shehad never actually had to use the life?saving technique before， and after a few tries， itwasn't quite working. Luckily， another customer was just a few feet away in the parking lot.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

She shouted at that man for assistance._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2：

The story has made headlines throughout the country.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
