The San Diego Center for Children recently added three acres of land to its 9-acre Linda Vista campus. Thanks to the efforts of Assembly member Dr. Shirley Weber, the state sold the land near the Center’s main campus. Now the Center, which is the oldest children’s nonprofit(非营利的机构) in the region, will be able to provide more treatment and educational foster care(看护) to kids and families who need it most. Jewish Family Service of San Diego (JFS) received a $10,000 grant from the USS Midway Foundation to support its Hand Up Food Pantry(食品贮藏室). “Jewish Family Service works every day to help struggling families and individuals in San Diego move forward and build more stable, secure lives,” says JFS CEO Michael Hopkins. St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center raised more than $16,000 at its Swing with Santa Golf Tournament(锦标赛). The funds will go toward programs for adults with developmental disabilities. The 5th annual tournament included 18 hotels, food and drinks, and two celebrity appearances: both Santa and Elvis made a dramatic entrance via helicopter. Coming Up: Raise money for the 4SRanch-Del Sur Community Foundation and Helen’s Closet (壁橱,衣帽间) at the 9th Annual Thank You Run on Thanksgiving Day, November 22. Helen’s Closet serves patients with ALS. The distance is 5K with a 1K Fun Run for children aged 8 and under.
6. What’s just happened to the San Diego Center for Children?
A. Its campus has grown in size. B. Dr. Shirley Weber has become a member. C. It has built a campus at Linda Vista. D. It has started providing foster care. 7. Which non-profit focuses on the disabled?

If you cannot afford to travel in any class above economy, flying generally sucks, either a little or a lot, depending on your tolerance level. But it especially sucks if you are too wide for the airline’s design. Just getting to your seat can be a challenge, as your hips(臀部,髋) bounce from seat to seat on each side of the aisle(过道). If someone is standing up to put things in the overhead locker, there is a decision to be made about whether it’s worth trying to squeeze past. Everything is just slightly too small: the seats, the overhead lockers, even the bathrooms – and those, it seems, are getting even smaller. The Washington Post recently reported that, on some newer planes flown by American, Delta and United airlines, the bathrooms in economy class are just 61cm wide: about 25cm narrower than the average portable toilet, and roughly the width of the average dishwasher. Your face might be the only thing you can poke in there comfortably – which makes it a poor design, considering what a passenger is likely to need the bathroom for. According to the manufacturer, these “Advanced Spacewell” bathrooms make space for six additional passengers, which is great for the airlines’ financial bottom line. But what about the
other bottom line? Concerning, well, bottoms that can’t fit into their planes’ bathrooms? As bodies get bigger and aeroplane spaces get smaller, the wide among us have come up with solutions. Armrests that turn us into sausages(香肠) can be pulled up, or slowly encased(围住,包起) into the soft flesh of our sides until we go numb(麻木). We can ask the flight attendant to get us a seat-belt extender, if security has confiscated the one we brought with us, as can sometimes happen. But squeezing into a tiny toilet and closing the door behind us? Not workable. Unlike the impossible task of squeezing down the aisle to your seat, or the side-to-side dance necessary to get big hips past the armrests, fitting into a space just 61cm wide is not just a challenge – it is almost impossible. It is not like missing out on an option for the in-flight meal – a bathroom is as essential as a safety-compliant seat belt, or the air that is pumped in to the cabin(飞机舱). If airlines are not willing to make space for us, bigger passengers may have no option but to reconsider booking a flight at all.
9. What is the advantage of the new toilets?
A. More passengers can use them. B. The airlines can increase their profits. C. They are more comfortable. D. They are practical and convenient. 10. What does the underlined word ‘confiscated’ mean?
A. provided B. questioned C. checked D. taken 11. What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Fat people can deal with many problems they face on planes.
B. Flight attendants are likely to be helpful when asked for assistance. C. Flying is pleasant for overweight people at present. D. People’s bodies are getting bigger year by year. 12. The writer believes that bigger passengers __________.
A. will have to find more creative solutions in the future B. should grasp the chance to lose weight before flying C. should miss out on the option for the in-flight meal D. might be unable to travel by air in the future

Distance, just like currency, becomes incomprehensible when it reaches large quantities. So, when outdoor enthusiast and Midwest Mountaineering employee Elizabeth John says she only hiked the nearly 500 miles of the Colorado Trail over a period of six weeks, don’t let her fool you. That’s like walking from St. Paul to St. Louis—give or take a few dozen miles—plus thousands upon thousands of feet of altitude. “I’m a gardener, I’m a busy-hands person, but busy feet are just as good,” she explains. “I don’t meditate, but maybe that’s the way I think about it—walking as a way to relax.” John took childhood hikes in the Boundary Waters and caught her case of busy feet while hiking in Alaska as a teenager. With a background in paddling, mountaineering, and backpacking, she found long-distance hiking rewarding, though exhausting. Since then, thru-hiking—hiking a long-distance trail(考验，试验) end-to-end in one hiking season—has gotten friendlier to beginners. John has given up 60-pound packs in favor of a lighter modern backpacking equipment. For her 50th birthday, she decided to fly to Spain and walk close to 500 miles of the Camino de Santiago. The Colorado jaunt, her first solo long-distance hike, followed a few years later in 2017.
“Going on a big walk is unreasonable and includes being uncomfortable, wet, hungry, sore, tired, lonely...it’s challenging,” she says. “It’s a leap of faith. But I found the rewards surprising and unexpected, some even waiting for me at home after the trip. There is a rhythm to walking, a physicality and simplicity...a discovery.” Logging some 4,000 feet of elevation daily, John met many “trail angels” who provided shade, snacks, and sometimes beer at remote points in the wilderness, purely out of the goodness of their hearts. “You’re so excited, because you’re someplace so incredible, and it wasn’t easy to get there,” she says. “There was this moment when you love humanity, and you’re so proud of people for doing it.”
13. What did Elizabeth John do as a child?
A. She often worked in her garden. B. She enjoyed swimming in the wild. C. She got interested in hiking. D. She was too busy to use her feet. 14. What is special about thru-hiking?
A. Hikers usually take light equipment. B. The hike is done at great speed.
C. The hike consists of one very long journey. D. It is extremely friendly to beginners. 15. When John walked the Camino de Santiago, she ________.
A. was not experienced in hiking B. was accompanied by others C. was in her 40s D. carried a heavy pack 16. What may trail angels do?
A. Give hikers a lift down the mountain . B. Guide hikers to some remote points. C. Share their hearts with passing hikers. D. Prepare some gifts for hikers.

Owen Williams and his wife befriended their eighty-year-old neighbor, Ken Watson, when they moved into their home in Wales three years ago. When their daughter, Cadi, was born a year later, Watson became a grandfather figure, taking the time to drop off Christmas presents for the child. Watson died in October. On Monday, Watson’s daughter stopped by the Williams home with a large bag containing 14 wrapped Christmas presents her father had bought and wrapped for Cadi. Williams posted notes about what happened on Twitter to spread some Christmas spirit. He wrote that he wasn’t sure whether he should give his daughter all the presents now, or hold onto them and give her one a year. Twitter responded in a big way, with many saying the story brought them to tears. So many people weighed in about the gifts, in fact, that Williams made a Twitter poll. So far, more than 55,000 people have voted on how he should distribute the gifts. Williams, who is a social-media consultant, said the majority of people are voting for giving Cadi one present a year. He said he has no idea what is in the packages, but he’s leaning toward listening to the will of the voters.“I think we’re going to turn it into a Christmas story for our daughter,” he said. “We’ll do one a year for the next 14 years. It feels like the right thing to do now. If she opens a box of Lego when she’s 16 then so be it.” He said he was struck by how many people have responded by saying their neighbors are virtual strangers to them.“The thing that stands out to me is how few people know their neighbors,” Williams said. “People are saying, ‘That’s so lovely. I don’t even know my neighbors.’ … This Christmas, take your neighbors a bottle of wine or a small gift, a token. Just say, ‘Hi.’ You can open a new world like we did.”
