二、阅读理解
A
Green Bank is a small town in the US. People there live a special life.
Green Bank is home to a large radio telescope(射电望远镜). It is used to study space. Radio waves (无线电波) from the ground can influence the work of the telescope. For this reason, people there can't use smart phones or Wi-Fi. They can only use a pay phone when they need to make phone calls.
There are about 180 people living in Green Bank. Many of them don't find life difficult. A boy says he likes going to his friends' houses to talk to them. When friends are not at home, they can quickly find each other somewhere in this small town. A woman says she is happy to talk to people face to face. This gives her the chance to shake their hands or give them a hug. She really enjoys living without smart phones and Wi-Fi.
No Wi-Fi doesn't mean Green Bank is not a good place to visit. Feeling the beauty of face-to-face human connection in the town is special. There're also some places to enjoy.
For those who are interested in science, the Green Bank Observatory is a must-see. But don't forget to bring a map, because GPS doesn't work in the area. Don't worry about food. The observatory has a mini coffee house.
For those who like sightseeing, Cass Scenic Railroad can provide them with a good trip to enjoy mountains, plants and animals on a train ride.
