Thinking about going camping? You might want to try one of these campsites!

Le Val de Cantobre,Aveyron(France)

France's number-one campsite is in the Grands Causses Regional Park. There's a swimming pool, a river and a pizza restaurant all on-site. The scenery around the park is beautiful and great for walking. A day here will cost you about €45.

Three Cliffs Bay, Gower（Wales)

The Three Cliffs Bay is in a beautiful part of the country, and it won't cost you much either: a tent（帐篷）is about €28 a day. There's a shop and some restaurants nearby. You can water-ski from the beach, or go walking along the Gower Way.

Playa Montroig Camping Resort, Tarragonna（Spain)

This Spanish campsite is great for a family trip, with prices starting from about €20 a night. You'll be able to enjoy the beach by day, and learn about historic Tarragonna in the evenings. The site has restaurants and also offers lots of activities for adults and children.

Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle(Thailand)

This must be one of the most expensive campsites in the world. Instead of tents, there are" canvas cabins"（帆布小屋）. Plus, there's a nice restaurant, a spa and a pool. There are only 15 cabins so you'll have to book early. You can only reach the camp by river boat, but once there you can learn to ride an elephant. One night here will cost you about €50!

Sometimes, you might not finish drinking your glass of water before you go to bed. You might want to drink it the next morning. But have you ever wondered if it is still safe to drink?

“If you have clean water in a clean glass, you’re fine to drink it for a day or two,” Kellogg Schwab from the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute in the US told Time.

But you may find that it tastes strange. That’s because after about 12 hours, the carbon dioxide in the air reacts with the water in your glass, slightly lowering its pH level.

Also, there might be more microorganisms in your water if you leave it out overnight. Microorganisms grow more quickly at room temperature. These microorganisms can stick to your glass. They can make you get sick more easily. But as long as you clean your glasses very often, this will not be a problem.

In countries like the US and UK, people often drink water directly from the tap . This is OK – however, tap water cannot be stored for a long time. Most experts say that tap water has a shelf life of six months, according to Zane Satterfield from West Virginia University, US. After six months, there is less chlorine in the water and bacteria start to grow. You’d better not drink the water otherwise you may get sick.

What about plastic water bottles? Schwab said people should be careful with them. If you leave a bottle of water under the sun or in a car for a long period of time, the plastic produces a chemical called BPA. This chemical can cause heart disease and cancer.

1.According to the passage,the water in the glass tastes strange after about_______.

A. 12 hours B. 2 hours

C. a day and a night D. two days

2.Why does the water taste strange after a night?

A. Because there is less chlorine in the water.

B. Because the glasses are dirty after a night.

C. Because the plastic produces a chemical called BPA

D. Because the carbon dioxide in the air reacts with the water , lowering its pH level.

3.The underlined word “ microorganisms” in the fourth paragraph probable mean　 “________”

A. 漂浮物 B. 微生物 C. 抗生素 D. 废弃物

4.Which of the following is not true?

A. You may get sick more easily after you drink the water overnight.

B. It’s not a right way to leave a bottle of water under the sun for a long time.

C. Many people drink water directly from the tap because of no bacteria in the running water.

D. Kellogg Schwab advised us to drink clean water in a clean glass for a day or two.

Have you ever wanted to try on clothes without going to the trouble of getting undressed? If you have, here’s the device for you: the virtual(虚拟的) fitting room.

The technology, designed by Russian company AR Door, was first tried out in May. When a customer walks into a “fitting” room, they’ll stand in front of a big screen that looks like a mirror. A camera in the mirror, using Microsoft Kinect, monitors a customer’s movement and projects a 3-D image of the clothes onto you while you stand before a screen.

The room also uses augmented reality technology. “Augmented reality allows the customers to select an item of clothing without having to try it on physically,” the company told the Daily Mail. A customer can spin around to see all angles(角度) of the clothes, and can control the program by pushing virtual buttons.

AR Door is not the only company to be developing technology to help people with the way they look. Japanese company Shiseido recently presented its Magic Mirror, a virtual make-up mirror that allows people to get a full makeover in seconds.

However, the technology is not perfect. The clothes still seem to hang on the surface of the body, rather than look like the customer is actually wearing them. And people shopping for clothes are probably still better off actually trying them on.

In the end, you won’t know how something really looks and feels.

1.The virtual fitting room is technology that_____________.

A. allows people to watch a movie while trying on clothes

B. can help people buy clothes on the Internet

C. allows people to walk freely in the fitting room

D. can help people select clothes without having to try them on

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The virtual fitting room was invented in Russia.

B. The virtual fitting room and the virtual make-up mirror both use the augmented reality technology to help people with the way they look.

C. The customer can control the program by pushing virtual buttons.

D. The customer looks like he/she is actually wearing the clothes while using this technology.

3.In the virtual fitting room, what is on the screen?

A. A computer　　　 　　　 　 B. A camera

C. A fitting room　　　　　 D. A shop assistant

4.From the last paragraph, we can learn that____________.

A. few people shop for clothes in clothing stores

B. the magic mirror is now widely used

C. people still need to try on clothes before buying them

D. the virtual fitting room is perfect
