(在《写作杂志》（WM）广受欢迎的500字短篇小说大赛中，让每一个字都尽显价值，凭借超精炼的故事创意赢得丰厚大奖！)”可知，NATURAL WORLD接受非虚构（non-fiction）作品参赛，而其他赛事均只接受虚构类（fiction）短篇；由此可知，NATURAL WORLD与其他比赛的区别是它接受非虚构作品参赛。故选B。 B In Katmai National. Park, a mother bear and her cub walk toward us, then sit down and nap, completely at ease with us being around. And the feeling is shared. My husband, nervous about being near such large predators (捕食者) an hour ago, now relaxes so much that he falls asleep in the grass too. The Katmai coast can only be reached by air or sea. Its faraway location helps keep bear viewing safe. Our guide, Bachrach, tells us that the common view of bears as violent predators killing for meat actually only shows part of the picture. The Katmai spring sees bears feast on plants and dig for shellfish during low tide. From late June to September, they move to salmon-filled rivers for the salmon, but they also keep eating grass and berries. Each time we spot a bear, Bachrach reminds us to read its behavior. If the bear appears relaxed, we can watch for a while from a safe distance. As responsible visitors, we must never let it get too close, and never let even a bit of our food fall to the ground. Bachrach learned this the hard way after a bear entered a cabin and stayed near the door for days, expecting more after finding fruit. Besides, we must also avoid disturbing the bears while they feed. As they drink along the river, we carefully move around them. “What do you think people get out of seeing bears?” I ask Bachrach. “I’ve watched visitors go from hesitant to amazed, then comfortable, and then observant and thoughtful. Hopefully they learn to share space with wild animals. Those who don’t learn to share don’t grow alongside each other. And those who share, do,” he says. 4. Why does the husband fall asleep? A. He is uninterested in bears. B. He doesn’t want to disturb the bears. C. He enjoys the author’s company. D. He feels safe in the environment. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Bears’ attacking behavior. B. Katmai’s faraway location. C. Bears’ different diets. D. Katmai’s changing seasons. 6. What should a responsible bear visitor do? A. Follow bears closely. B. Share food with bears. C. Talk to bears. D. Watch bears only. 7. What does Bachrach hope people learn from bear viewing? A. To live in peace with wildlife. B. To survive in the wild. C. To increase space for wildlife. D. To look after bears thoughtfully. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在Katmai国家公园观赏熊的经历，以及向导Bachrach对于如何与熊共处、观赏熊的注意事项和意义的讲解。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“My husband, nervous about being near such large predators (捕食者) an hour ago, now relaxes so much that he falls asleep in the grass too.(我的丈夫一个小时前还因为靠近这么大型的捕食者而紧张，现在放松得在草地上也睡着了)”可知，作者的丈夫之前因为靠近大型捕食者而紧张，但现在他感到非常放松，以至于在草地上睡着了。由此可推断，他感到环境是安全的，所以才能安心入睡。故选D项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容“The Katmai coast can only be reached by air or sea. Its faraway location helps keep bear viewing safe. Our guide, Bachrach, tells us that the common view of bears as violent predators killing for meat actually only shows part of the picture. The Katmai spring sees bears feast on plants and dig for shellfish during low tide. From late June to September, they move to salmon-filled rivers for the salmon, but they also keep eating grass and berries.(只能乘飞机或乘船到达卡特迈海岸。其偏远的位置有助于保证观熊的安全。我们的向导Bachrach告诉我们，人们普遍认为熊是凶猛的食肉动物，为了吃肉而杀戮，这实际上只是事情的一部分。卡特迈的春天，熊会大吃植物，并在低潮时挖贝类。从6月下旬到9月，它们会迁移到满是鲑鱼的河流去捕食鲑鱼，但它们也会继续吃草和浆果)”可知，本段主要介绍了熊的不同饮食习惯，包括吃植物、挖贝类以及捕食鲑鱼等。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As responsible visitors, we must never let it get too close, and never let even a bit of our food fall to the ground.(作为负责任的游客，我们决不能让它靠得太近，也决不能让我们的食物掉到地上)”和“Besides, we must also avoid disturbing the bears while they feed.(此外，我们还必须避免在熊进食时打扰它们)”可知，作为负责任的观熊者，应该保持与熊的安全距离，不要让食物掉落到地上，同时避免在熊进食时打扰它们。也就是说，负责任的观熊者应该只是观察熊，而不应该做其他可能干扰熊的行为。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Bachrach的话“Hopefully they learn to share space with wild animals. Those who don’t learn to share don’t grow alongside each other. And those who share, do, (希望他们学会与野生动物共享空间。那些不学会分享的人不会共同成长。而那些学会分享的人会)可知，Bachrach希望人们从观熊中学会与野生动物共享空间，共同成长，和平共处。故选A项。 C Randall Munroe, who used to work on robots at NASA, explains science in a fun and easy- to-understand way in his book What If? Once you get used to his unique writing style, you can go on many amazing trips with him and learn while laughing. And you will certainly learn. There is a sort of joy in getting real answers to the strange questions Munroe is sent every day. However unusual the topics are, Randall takes them seriously. For example, if you set a meat-eating dinosaur (恐龙) free in New York City, how many humans would it have to eat to meet its need each day? Munroe thinks New York could support about 350 dinosaurs. That’s good to know, but we hope we don’t need to use this information. The book’s cover is a full-size picture of what the Earth would look like if the oceans were removed. The back has some interesting facts you might want to know before buying it (eating the book would give you about 2,300 calories (卡路里) if you could take in paper). Thanks, Randall! Although Munroe knows a lot and can perfectly explain the science behind the questions, What If? is not a textbook. When asked what would happen when you threw a baseball at light-speed, he says there would be a shockwave expanding (膨胀) outwards, and quickly moves on. He is answering the question after all, but if you are looking for detailed classroom- style descriptions of what Munroe is talking about, you’re out of luck. But that’s what makes it great. What If? is light enough to attract you, but deep enough to make you curious about science one chapter at a time. If you’re willing to go along with Munroe’s ideas and guesses, you’re in for an exciting journey of the mind. 8. What can be found in the book What If? A. Stories of fun journeys. B. Pictures of the oceans. C. Latest scientific experiments. D. Discussions of unreal situations. 9. How does Munroe deal with the questions in his book? A. He offers direct answers. B. He pays no attention. C. He recommends textbooks. D. He digs into many possibilities. 10. What is Munroe’s writing style like? A. Formal and detailed. B. Light but confusing. C. Humorous and educational. D. Imaginative but unclear. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What If?: A Collection of Funny Science Jokes B. What If?: A Scientific Adventure with Munroe C. What If?: A Guidebook on Healthy Eating Habits D. What If?: A Question-based Book about Life 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了兰德尔·门罗所著的《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》一书，包括其内容、写作风格以及与读者的互动方式等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However unusual the topics are, Randall takes them seriously. For example, if you set a meat-eating dinosaur (恐龙) free in New York City, how many humans would it have to eat to meet its need each day?( 无论话题多么不寻常，兰德尔都会认真对待。例如，如果你在纽约市放生一只食肉恐龙，它每天需要吃多少人类才能满足需求？)”可知，书中讨论了一些不切实际的情况，如恐龙在纽约市需要吃多少人类等。因此，在《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》这本书中可以发现对不切实际情况的讨论。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Although Munroe knows a lot and can perfectly explain the science behind the questions, What If? is not a textbook. When asked what would happen when you threw a baseball at light-speed, he says there would be a shockwave expanding (膨胀) outwards, and quickly moves on. (虽然门罗知道很多，并且可以完美地解释这些问题背后的科学，但《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》不是教科书。当被问及以光速投掷棒球会发生什么时，他说会有一个冲击波向外膨胀，然后很快就继续讲其他内容了)”可知，门罗对于书中的问题给出了直接的答案，并没有深入探讨或推荐教科书等。因此，门罗在书中处理问题的方式是直接给出答案。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Randall Munroe, who used to work on robots at NASA, explains science in a fun and easy- to-understand way in his book What If? (兰德尔·门罗曾在NASA从事机器人工作，他在《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》一书中以有趣且易于理解的方式解释科学)”和“Once you get used to his unique writing style, you can go on many amazing trips with him and learn while laughing. (一旦你习惯了他独特的写作风格，你就可以和他一起踏上许多奇妙的旅程，在欢笑中学习)”可知，门罗的写作风格既幽默又富有教育意义。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合第一段“Randall Munroe, who used to work on robots at NASA, explains science in a fun and easy- to-understand way in his book What If? Once you get used to his unique writing style, you can go on many amazing trips with him and learn while laughing.(兰德尔·门罗曾在NASA从事机器人工作，他在《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》一书中以有趣且易于理解的方式解释科学。一旦你习惯了他独特的写作风格，你就可以和他一起踏上许多奇妙的旅程，在欢笑中学习)”可知，文章主要介绍了兰德尔·门罗所著的《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》一书，包括其内容(讨论不切实际的情况)、写作风格(幽默且富有教育意义)以及与读者的互动方式等。因此，最适合作为本文标题的是“What If?: A Scientific Adventure with Munroe(《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》：与门罗一起的科学冒险)”。这个标题既体现了书名的原意，又概括了文章的主要内容。故选B项。 D The “hedgehog (刺猬) dilemma” is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, he described how humans struggle with relationships through a story about hedgehogs. His advice was simple: keep your distance. This sad story became widely discussed. Sigmund Freud and modern scientists studied this idea. In 2015, an award-winning short film called Hedgehog retold this story. How does this apply to real life? Most people remember being hurt by close relationships – broken friendships, family conflicts, or romantic betrayals. Since these connections matter deeply, their damage hurts more. Should we stop trusting others? Schopenhauer said yes, but science would say otherwise. A study in PLOS Medicine reviewing 148 studies with over 300,000 people found those with strong social connections live 50% longer. The National Institute on Aging warns that loneliness harms health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes daily – making Schopenhauer’s advice concerning. When hurt repeatedly, people often fall into defense mode. Relationship expert Hilary Sanders explains common defense behaviors: going silent during arguments, seeing normal comments as criticism, or overreacting to small issues. These reactions often start in childhood. If parents often criticized or classmates bullied someone, they might develop habits like pretending not to care or getting angry easily. While these helped survive childhood pain, they cause problems in adult relationships when used unconsciously. The good news is people can change. Through therapy, many learn to recognize their defense patterns and understand their origins. Couples can improve relationships by learning each other’s emotional triggers and responding thoughtfully instead of arguing. However, Sanders warns that defenses shouldn’t be removed suddenly — it’s like taking down a wall brick by brick. Although Schopenhauer focused on the pain of closeness, the hedgehog story actually shows our deep need for connection. Unlike real hedgehogs, humans aren’t born with physical spines. By carefully lowering our defenses around trustworthy people, we might truly enjoy both warmth and safety in relationships. 12. Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1? A. To stress its importance. B. To support Schopenhauer’s advice. C. To recommend Schopenhauer’s book. D. To introduce the theme of relationship. 13. What is Schopenhauer’s key solution to the “hedgehog dilemma”? A. Ignore pain. B. Seek therapy. C. Avoid closeness. D. Build walls. 14. What major evidence goes against Schopenhauer’s advice? A. Freud’s studies. B. Long life from social ties. C. Henry’s short film. D. Defense behavior of people. 15. What does Sanders say about close connection? A. People should make gradual progress in it. B. Humans can benefit from it unconsciously. C. It can help children relieve childhood pain. D. Couples should learn to defend it thoughtfully. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕德国哲学家叔本华提出的“刺猬困境” 展开，探讨了人际关系中的距离与亲密问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The “hedgehog (刺猬) dilemma” is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, he described how humans struggle with relationships through a story about hedgehogs. His advice was simple: keep your distance.( “刺猬困境”是德国哲学家叔本华的一个著名比喻。在他1851年出版的书中，他通过一个关于刺猬的故事描述了人类如何在人际关系中挣扎。他的建议很简单：保持距离。)”可知，文章第一段提到“刺猬困境”这一著名隐喻，接着阐述其在现实生活人际关系中的体现，如亲密关系中的伤害等 。所以作者提及“刺猬困境” 是为了引出关于人际关系这一主题。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“His advice was simple: keep your distance.( 他的建议很简单：保持距离。)”可知，叔本华对于“刺猬困境”的核心解决办法是保持距离，也就是避免亲密（Avoid closeness）。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A study in PLOS Medicine reviewing 148 studies with over 300,000 people found those with strong social connections live 50% longer. The National Institute on Aging warns that loneliness harms health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes daily – making Schopenhauer’s advice concerning.(《公共科学图书馆·医学》杂志上的一项研究回顾了148项涉及30多万人的研究，发现那些社交关系强的人寿命要长50%。美国国家老龄化研究所警告说，孤独对健康的危害与每天吸15支烟一样大——这使得叔本华的建议令人担忧。)”可知，社交关系带来的长寿这一主要证据，与叔本华的建议相悖。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“However, Sanders warns that defenses shouldn’t be removed suddenly — it’s like taking down a wall brick by brick.( 然而，桑德斯警告说，防御不应该突然拆除，就像一砖一瓦地拆墙一样。)”可知，桑德斯认为人们在建立亲密关系时，不应突然去除防御，要像一砖一瓦拆除墙一样循序渐进。故选A项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. ___16___ The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. ____17____ We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning. I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. ____18____ Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. ___19___ We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains. ___20___ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style. A. This time there was no tent. B. Things are going to be improved. C. The trip they took me on was a rough one. D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however. E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping. F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping. G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己近三年来逐渐改变了对野营的看法，从以前对野营活动嗤之以鼻，经过几次野营后慢慢喜欢上了野营，最后表达野营将逐渐成为人类回归自然的很好方式，建议人们找到属于自己的方式。 【16题详解】 上文 They had nothing in common with me 说明作者原来认为他不会成为野营者．而下文主要描述的是"我"从最开始进行"rough travel"到有了"pop-up camper"再到有了 trailer 的过程，在这过程中作者对野营的爱好逐步增加，对野营的相关知识也在逐步增长，上下文呈转折关系．D项意为"然而在那之后我将会学到关于野营的很多知识"，起到转折作用，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为D。 【17题详解】 由下文 We sleep in a tent，cooked over an open fire，and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom 可知，"我"的野营条件非常艰苦．C项意为"他们带我去的旅途非常艰苦"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为C。 【18题详解】 由下文 Instead，we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner 可知，空格处是与下文形成转折的内容，而"我"此次旅行用了展开式营房．A项意为"这一次没有帐篷"，与下文形成转折，符合语境．故正确答案为A。 【19题详解】 由第三段第一句 going on another fun-filled holiday 可知，"我"对这次旅行非常满意，而由下文 We have done a lot of it since 可知，"我们"都爱上了野营．F项意为"从这里旅行后，我全家都对野营产生了巨大的兴趣"，承上启下，符合语境．故正确答案为F。 【20题详解】 由下文 sooner or later，everyone finds his or her way back to nature 可知，"我"希望每个人都能找到回归自然，也就是野营的个性化选择．形成这一观点的前提是"我"自己已经爱上了野营．E项意为"我必须承认我已经开始享受野营了"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满30分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a parent, I value the importance of encouraging children.

Park, a mother bear and her cub walk toward us, then sit down and nap, completely at ease with us being around. And the feeling is shared. My husband, nervous about being near such large predators (捕食者) an hour ago, now relaxes so much that he falls asleep in the grass too. The Katmai coast can only be reached by air or sea. Its faraway location helps keep bear viewing safe. Our guide, Bachrach, tells us that the common view of bears as violent predators killing for meat actually only shows part of the picture. The Katmai spring sees bears feast on plants and dig for shellfish during low tide. From late June to September, they move to salmon-filled rivers for the salmon, but they also keep eating grass and berries. Each time we spot a bear, Bachrach reminds us to read its behavior. If the bear appears relaxed, we can watch for a while from a safe distance. As responsible visitors, we must never let it get too close, and never let even a bit of our food fall to the ground. Bachrach learned this the hard way after a bear entered a cabin and stayed near the door for days, expecting more after finding fruit. Besides, we must also avoid disturbing the bears while they feed. As they drink along the river, we carefully move around them. “What do you think people get out of seeing bears?” I ask Bachrach. “I’ve watched visitors go from hesitant to amazed, then comfortable, and then observant and thoughtful. Hopefully they learn to share space with wild animals. Those who don’t learn to share don’t grow alongside each other. And those who share, do,” he says. 4. Why does the husband fall asleep? A. He is uninterested in bears. B. He doesn’t want to disturb the bears. C. He enjoys the author’s company. D. He feels safe in the environment. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Bears’ attacking behavior. B. Katmai’s faraway location. C. Bears’ different diets. D. Katmai’s changing seasons. 6. What should a responsible bear visitor do? A. Follow bears closely. B. Share food with bears. C. Talk to bears. D. Watch bears only. 7. What does Bachrach hope people learn from bear viewing? A. To live in peace with wildlife. B. To survive in the wild. C. To increase space for wildlife. D. To look after bears thoughtfully. C Randall Munroe, who used to work on robots at NASA, explains science in a fun and easy- to-understand way in his book What If? Once you get used to his unique writing style, you can go on many amazing trips with him and learn while laughing. And you will certainly learn. There is a sort of joy in getting real answers to the strange questions Munroe is sent every day. However unusual the topics are, Randall takes them seriously. For example, if you set a meat-eating dinosaur (恐龙) free in New York City, how many humans would it have to eat to meet its need each day? Munroe thinks New York could support about 350 dinosaurs. That’s good to know, but we hope we don’t need to use this information. The book’s cover is a full-size picture of what the Earth would look like if the oceans were removed. The back has some interesting facts you might want to know before buying it (eating the book would give you about 2,300 calories (卡路里) if you could take in paper). Thanks, Randall! Although Munroe knows a lot and can perfectly explain the science behind the questions, What If? is not a textbook. When asked what would happen when you threw a baseball at light-speed, he says there would be a shockwave expanding (膨胀) outwards, and quickly moves on. He is answering the question after all, but if you are looking for detailed classroom- style descriptions of what Munroe is talking about, you’re out of luck. But that’s what makes it great. What If? is light enough to attract you, but deep enough to make you curious about science one chapter at a time. If you’re willing to go along with Munroe’s ideas and guesses, you’re in for an exciting journey of the mind. 8. What can be found in the book What If? A. Stories of fun journeys. B. Pictures of the oceans. C. Latest scientific experiments. D. Discussions of unreal situations. 9. How does Munroe deal with the questions in his book? A. He offers direct answers. B. He pays no attention. C. He recommends textbooks. D. He digs into many possibilities. 10. What is Munroe’s writing style like? A. Formal and detailed. B. Light but confusing. C. Humorous and educational. D. Imaginative but unclear. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What If?: A Collection of Funny Science Jokes B. What If?: A Scientific Adventure with Munroe C. What If?: A Guidebook on Healthy Eating Habits D. What If?: A Question-based Book about Life D The “hedgehog (刺猬) dilemma” is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, he described how humans struggle with relationships through a story about hedgehogs. His advice was simple: keep your distance. This sad story became widely discussed. Sigmund Freud and modern scientists studied this idea. In 2015, an award-winning short film called Hedgehog retold this story. How does this apply to real life? Most people remember being hurt by close relationships – broken friendships, family conflicts, or romantic betrayals. Since these connections matter deeply, their damage hurts more. Should we stop trusting others? Schopenhauer said yes, but science would say otherwise. A study in PLOS Medicine reviewing 148 studies with over 300,000 people found those with strong social connections live 50% longer. The National Institute on Aging warns that loneliness harms health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes daily – making Schopenhauer’s advice concerning. When hurt repeatedly, people often fall into defense mode. Relationship expert Hilary Sanders explains common defense behaviors: going silent during arguments, seeing normal comments as criticism, or overreacting to small issues. These reactions often start in childhood. If parents often criticized or classmates bullied someone, they might develop habits like pretending not to care or getting angry easily. While these helped survive childhood pain, they cause problems in adult relationships when used unconsciously. The good news is people can change. Through therapy, many learn to recognize their defense patterns and understand their origins. Couples can improve relationships by learning each other’s emotional triggers and responding thoughtfully instead of arguing. However, Sanders warns that defenses shouldn’t be removed suddenly — it’s like taking down a wall brick by brick. Although Schopenhauer focused on the pain of closeness, the hedgehog story actually shows our deep need for connection. Unlike real hedgehogs, humans aren’t born with physical spines. By carefully lowering our defenses around trustworthy people, we might truly enjoy both warmth and safety in relationships. 12. Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1? A. To stress its importance. B. To support Schopenhauer’s advice. C. To recommend Schopenhauer’s book. D. To introduce the theme of relationship. 13. What is Schopenhauer’s key solution to the “hedgehog dilemma”? A. Ignore pain. B. Seek therapy. C. Avoid closeness. D. Build walls. 14. What major evidence goes against Schopenhauer’s advice? A. Freud’s studies. B. Long life from social ties. C. Henry’s short film. D. Defense behavior of people. 15. What does Sanders say about close connection? A. People should make gradual progress in it. B. Humans can benefit from it unconsciously. C. It can help children relieve childhood pain. D. Couples should learn to defend it thoughtfully. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily.
