Our Teen Summer Spanish Program is two weeks of fun, educational excitement that helps students learn

Spanish fast. Our Spanish summer program allows our students to learn from highly trained, certified teachers and

be absorbed in the language and theculture of Costa Rica.

Features include:

* Intensive(强化的) daily Spanish classes

* Extracurricular classes in dance, cooking, music, and handiwork

* Outdoor activities including hiking, camping, rafting, and ziplining(高空滑索)

* Homestay with a local Costa Rican family

* Volunteer work in needy neighborhoods

Our Teaching Methods:

We are proud to use TPRS---Total Physical Response Storytelling---in our curriculum. This innovative method

uses strange and amusing stories to teach new vocabulary, increase fluency, and get students involved by giving

them the opportunity to alter the details themselves. Because of the silliness, creativity, and repetition involved,

TPRS allows students to learn easily and remember information effortlessly

Memorizing vocabulary and listening to lectures on grammar are slow, inefficient ways to learn a new

language. The best way to truly learn and commit new material to memory is through conversation. In our Spanish

classes, students can expect to speak up to 80% of each class. By speaking in the new language freely and

consistently, students can see progress faster because they are using the new grammar and vocabulary that they

have learned at the same time. This helps the brain remember the new words and grammar structures for future

use, making it much easier to progress.

Water keeps us alive. When it runs out, we have a problem.

About one out of four people on the planet are facing a shortage of water. Seventeen countries around the

world are dealing with high-water stress. This means they are using almost all the water they have access to. Many

are dry countries. Some waste much of their water. Some may currently use too much of their groundwater that

they should be saving. Several big cities face acute shortages. These include Sao Paulo, Brazil; Chennai, India; and

Cape Town, South Africa. A year ago, Cape Town faced nay Zero-the day when all its dams would he dry.

Climate change adds to the risk of water shortages. Rainfall is less steady. The water supply becomes less

reliable. The days grow hotter. More water evaporates(蒸发)from lakes and rivers even as demand for water

increases. By 2030, the number of cities in the high-stress category may have risen to 45 and include almost 470

million people.

All over the world, farmers compete with city residents for water. Rich urban places, such as Los Angeles, use

too much water for pools and golf courses. But the worst problem is the growth of cities. Bangalore, India, for

example, had a few years with little rain. It built over its many lakes or filled them with city waste. The lakes are no

longer the rain water storage tanks they once were. Bangalore now imports water. A lot of the imported water,

however, gets lost on the way to Bangalore.

To address this issue, what can be done? First, cities can plug leaks in their water distribution system.

Wastewater can be recycled. Rain can be harvested and saved for hard times. Lakes and wetlands can be cleaned

up and old wells can be restored. And farmers can switch from water-intensive crops like rice to less-thirsty crops

like millet(小米).

Experts are looking at ways to reduce the number of people on the planet. They are looking at ways to reduce

the size of cities. They are looking for ways to encourage people, factories and farmers to use less water.

4. What can we know from Paragraph 2?

A. A quarter of the world's population is living with water shortages.

B. Nearly all countries are facing acute water shortages now.

C. Underground water should he used to meet the water demand.

D. Measures have been taken to deal with the water shortage in India.

5. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. Rainfall is not as steady as before. B. Climate change may lead to water shortages.

C. The water supply relies more on rainfall. D. Hotter weather changes the water demand.

6. What can farmers do to deal with water shortage?

A. Plug leaks in the water distribution system. B. Clean up lakes and wetlands and restore wells.

C. Reduce the number of people in the cities. D. Grow less-water consumption crops instead.

7. What will be discussed if the passage continues?

A. How to prevent from climate change. B. How to inspire people to save water.

C. How to recycle wastewater in cities D. How to make people get access to clean water.

When you walk with a backpack, do you know how the things inside move from side to side? Now scientists

havefigured out how to tap into that movement to produce electricity.

Picture a pendulum (摆锤) fixed to a backpack frame and stabilized with springs on either side. The pack’s

weight is attached to the pendulum, so the pendulum swings side to side as you a machine is driven by

that swinging movement, and spits out electrical current to charge a battery.

Volunteers carried the pack while walking on a running machine and wore masks to measure the flow of

O2and CO2. Walking with the slightly swinging 20-pound load, the device (设备) did not significantly affect the

volunteers’ metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate compared to when they carried the same weight fixed in place. In fact,

the energy-harvesting pack reduced the forces of acceleration they’d feel in a regular pack, which might mean

greater comfort for a long hike. And the device did produce a steady trickle (涓流) of electricity. If you up the load

to 45 pounds, the swing of the pack could fully charge a smart phone only after 12 hours. The details are in the

journal Royal Society Open Science.

The device produces electricity from human movement and has been identified as a workable solution to

providing a renewable energy source for portable electronic devices. It is particularly useful for those who work in

remote areas, as these people often carry a lot of weight in a backpack for their exploration.

But here’s a realconundrum: the energy-harvesting device currently weighs five pounds. The researchers say

that’s about four pounds too many to be a smart alternative to batteries. So they hope that more research lets

them lighten the load, to ensure the pack charges you up without weighing you down.

8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A. How the device works.

B. What the device looks like.

C. Who the device is designed for.

D. Why scientists designed the device.

9. Which of the following describes the device?

A. It greatly affected the volunteers metabolic rate.

B. It harvested energy as the volunteers walk.

C. It failed to produce steady electricity.

D. It was useless for a long walk.

10. What does the underlined word “conundrum” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Problem. B. Method. C. Bond. D. Decision.

11. What will the researchers try to do next?

A. Increase the charging speed of their device.

B. Find smarter alternatives to batteries.

C. Reduce the weight of their device.

D. Put their device on the market.

Music is said to be a universal language. But for Chase Burton, a deaf filmmaker fromTexas, music has always

been a totally different experience.

“When I was a kid, I’d lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations (震动，颤动) from my brother’s band

rocking out below my body, ” the 33-year-old man said. “That was one of the first times I began building a

relationship with music.”

In 2016, his ability to experience music changed dramatically, thanks to California-based technology company

Not Impossible Labs. It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to “feel” music through their skin.

Consisting of a body harness (背带), ankle and wrist belts, the suit translates audio into a range of vibrating pulses

that are felt at 24 contact has been trialing the suit for four years.

“The sound hits different parts of your body, ” saidBurton. “Maybe it will strikeme down in my ankles first.

And then I’ll start to feel the vibrations in my back. And then I’ll feel some pulsations in my wrist.”

The creators want to extends the tactile (触觉) musical experience beyond the deaf community. In 2018, they

gave out 150 of the suits at a rock concert inLas Vegaswhere half the audience members were deaf and half were

able to hear.

Since then, Not Impossible Labs has been working to improve the technology and says it’s ready to go to

market soon. Eventually, the creators want the suit to become a consumer product, accessible to all. The

company’s talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, said that the technology could be used in

live sports broadcasts, video games and theme parks.

As a writer and director who’s been working to make the movie world more accessible,Burtonhopes that the

vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future. He believes the suit canenhanceemotions while

watching a movie – for hearing as well as deaf people. “I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people

understand that music for movies doesn’t always need to be enjoyed through the ears”.

12. Why would Chase Burton lie on the floor when he was a kid?

A. To feel some pulsations in his wrist.

B. To feel the vibrations from his brother’s band.

C. To expand the tactile musical experience.

D. To begin building a bond with films.

13. What do we know about Not Impossible Labs from the passage?

A. It was started by Chase Burton in 2016.

B. Its products have been used in live sports broadcasts.

C. It is a technology company based inCalifornia.

D. Its administrative director is Jordan Richardson.

14. Which can replace the underlined word “enhance” in the last paragraph?

A. create B. express C. cover D. strengthen

15. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Vibrating Suit Allows Deaf People to “Feel” Music

B. Tech Company Provides Free Suits for Deaf People
