There are several ski hills that can be found locally, and not so locally. Here’s a bit of an informal snow report for any visitors to the city who may be unfamiliar with the local options for skiing.
Sunshine Village
Sunshine is definitely the premier ski hill in the area. Of all the hills in Alberta, Sunshine is the one that has earned international renown. Ticket prices are cheaper this year than they have been in the past. Adults pay $76.5, seniors $61.5, and children only pay $26.5. At present, they have a snow base of 107 cm. The terrain (地形) is a mix of both easy and hard runs.
Lake Louise
Of all the ski resorts nearby it is the largest with 4,200 acres of ski-able terrain. It has the best balance between easy and difficult runs, and it gets snow of 93 cm right now. Adults pay $75.5, seniors pay $54.5, and children pay $24.5. Lake Louise is a great choice for anyone looking to do some easy access backcountry skiing.
Nakiska
While it will be opening shortly, Nakiska is popular to the public. Currently, they have a base of 71cm. The terrain at Nakiska is varied, but slants (傾斜) more towards the easy side. It’s the best place for families to go skiing as there is a lot of beginner and kid terrain. Tickets are relatively cheap. Adults pay $64.5, seniors pay $51.5, and children only pay $19.5.
Olympic Park
O.P. was built for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Canada, and it is a world-class facility (設(shè)施） for almost every winter sport. It has facilities not only for skiing, but also for all kinds of other activities. It has a snow base of 102 cm, but it isn’t the primary focus. However, with tickets starting at $5 and capping at $39, it is very inexpensive.

小題1:B
小題1:D
小題1:C
小題1:A   
本文主要介紹五處滑雪勝地。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“At present, they have a snow base of 107cm.”可判斷選B，因為比較其他四處地方的雪的厚度可知，其余各地的雪均沒有這么厚。
小題1:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“Sunshine is definitely the premier ski hill in the area.”可判斷此地盛名，即在國際上都有名氣，由此可判斷選D。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“It has facilities not only for skiing, but also for all kinds of other activities.”可判斷選C。
小題1:數(shù)字計算題：此處的收費(fèi)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是“Adults pay $64.5, Seniors pay $51.5, and Children only pay $19.5.”，兩個成人收費(fèi)129美元，兩個小孩收費(fèi)美元，合計收費(fèi)168 美元，故選A。

The following are four books that will help you change your mind and change your life.
1) You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay: A groundbreaking book when it was released in 1982. It is still the book that I turn to when I have physical unrest that requires deeper understanding. Louise Hay is the pioneer in looking at the connection between the physical unrest that we have in our body and the emotional connection. At the time that she wrote the book many people scoffed at this idea, but it is now widely accepted and millions of people refer to it on a daily basis.
2) The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz: Maintaining a sense of reliability and faith is developed through understanding to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz written in 1997. We are faced with rules and regulations; don’t do this, don’t do that, watch what you are doing, be kind, loyal, faithful etc. The four agreements represent a simple system of maintaining your own inner authority while practicing being a true person with other people.
3) Slowing Down to the Speed of Life, Richard Carlson and Joseph Bailey: This is a new one in my “bedside collection” and one that has made the biggest impact on me lately. Written in 1997, it is even more relevant today than it was when it was written. The idea of “slowing down” to get there faster was extremely hard for me to understand. As a human species we seem to enjoy moving fast and expecting quick results, especially from ourselves. I should be successful now, I should be slim now, get me to my destination now—in contrast to “in the fullness of time” when I am ready.
4) The Game of Life and How to Play It, Florence Scovel-Shinn: A classic book that was first published in 1925 and remains one of my favorite books of all time. Scovel-Shinn understood the power of our words to express either our deepest desires or our most horrible nightmares.
So where does this leave you? The way I see it is if you want to ‘Heal Your Life” then you had better learn how to play “The Game of Life” by learning how to “Slow Down to the Speed of Life” and keep the “Four Agreements”. The solution may not be easy to do but it is simple. In fact, most solutions are pretty simple, and it is us humans that want to complicate it.
小題1:According to the author, people who are lacking in personal freedom should read______.
A．You Can Heal Your Life
B．The Four Agreements
C．Slowing Down to the Speed of Life
D． The Game of Life and How to Play It
小題2:Which of the following books did the author read most recently?
A．Slowing Down to the Speed of Life
B．The Four Agreements
C．You Can Heal Your Life
D．The Game of Life and How to Play It
小題3:In which part of a magazine would you probably find this passage?
A．Arts & EntertainmentB．Reference & Education
C．Book ReviewsD．Self Improvement
小題4: In the author’s opinion, the four books _______.
A．offer four ways to change our life and mindB．represent four stages of life
C．represent four attitudesD．tell us four interesting stories
