Passage 2 （25-26高三上·天津咸水沽第一中学天津市第一百中学·期中）When it comes to hiking, Greece has something for every kind of walker. The mainland boasts (拥有) well-maintained routes, while on the country’s islands you’ll find ancient paths dating back to Byzantine times connecting sleepy villages with beautiful sandy coves (小海湾). Here’s our pick of Greece’s best hikes.  Samaria Gorge (峡谷), Crete 16 kilometers(10 miles), 4 hours Hiking the 16-kilometer Samaria Gorge is considered one of Crete’s must-do experiences, which is why you’ll rarely be without company. Nevertheless, there’s an undeniable raw beauty to Samaria, where vertical (垂直的) walls soar up to 500 meters and are just 3.5 meters apart at the narrowest point (150 meters at the broadest). The hike begins at 1,230 meters at Xyloskalo just south of Omalos and ends in the coastal village of Agia Roumeli. It’s especially scenic in April and May, when wildflowers brighten the route.  Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia 8 kilometers (5 miles), 3 to 4 hours The summit of Mt Ohi (Profitis Ilias; 1,398 m), lesser-visited Evia’s third-highest peak, is crowned by mysterious ancient dragon houses: 7th century BC architecture, made from rocks weighing several tons. From Myli, it’s an 8-kilometer hike to the summit (three to four hours). It’s possible to stay overnight at the 1,000-meter-high refuge then hike up Mt Ohi to catch the sunrise(30 minutes), which makes for a magical experience. Contact South Evia Tours or Evia Adventure Tours for details.  Delphi to Kirra Walk, Central Greece 14 kilometers (9 miles), 3 to 4 hours This 14-kilometer downhill hike follows a centuries-old pathway from historic Delphi to the ancient port of Kirra, just east of modern Itea on the southern coast of mainland Greece. The hike starts from the E4 long-distance starting point 100 meters east of the Hotel Acropole. Skirting the village of Crissa, it goes to the gulf (海湾) through Greece’s largest olive garden. After your three-to-four-hour hike, and lunch or a swim, you can return to Delphi by bus (around 2 euros).  Hike to the Tomb of Kleobolus, Rhodes 5 kilometers (3 miles), 2 hours An easy, enjoyable 5-kilometer (two-hour) round-trip hike escapes Lindos to reach the so-called Tomb of Kleobolus. Starting alongside Car Park 1 above the main beach, the route ends at a rocky hill topped by a circular tomb actually built during the 2nd century BC, long after Kleobolus ruled Rhodes.

Take class notes Three sites —StudySoup, NexusNotes, and Stuvia— offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university. You usually get a bonus when someone signs up to get access to your notes, plus a payment for each set of notes that sell. You can earn 500 per class, per semester. Become a tutor Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning. That opens an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject, from high school algebra to Spanish, to teach that subject to others. A number of tutoring platforms allow you to sign up and tutor online or in person. Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music, LessonFace. Be a survey taker The best option in this category is a site called Prolific. What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions—age, income, family status, etc.—in advance. Then, the site sends you only the surveys that you’re qualified to take. Charge scooters Big campuses are often littered with electric scooters (小型摩托车) and bikes that can be unlocked and ridden around campus. Riders can drop the scooters just about anywhere. So scooter companies enlist (征募) “chargers” to pick them up, charge them overnight and return them to a designated (指定的) area early the next morning. If you have a late class, there are two benefits of signing up to charge. First, you earn between 20 for each scooter you return fully charged. You also get to ride the scooters home for free, which isn’t a bad way to get back to your dorm. 1.Which site allows one to get paid by uploading their class notes? A. Prolific. B. LessonFace. C. Wyzant. D. StudySoup. 2.Which one best suits students who are excellent in music? A. Taking class notes. B. Becoming a tutor. C. Being a survey taker. D. Charging scooters. 3.What can be inferred about Prolific? A. It offers the highest pay. B. It only chooses students with good grades. C. It helps researchers find suitable survey participants. D. It requires participants to sign up in advance. 4.What may make charging scooters attractive? A. It pays riders for charging scooters. B. It provides the most benefits for students. C. It offers a means of free transportation. D. It helps solve the litter problem on campus. 5.The passage mainly introduces ______.

You’ll need to be available on short notice，including late at night and on weekends. You could be asked to do anything from helping at community events to responding to life-threatening emergencies (sometimes putting your own safety at risk). This job also involves a lot of regular training. Oh, and you won't be paid for any of this. Would you take the job? This job might not necessarily appeal to everyone, but if this sounds like an opportunity you’d eagerly accept，then you’d fit right in with Western Australia’s 26,000 emergency service volunteers. The emergency services aren't the only industry benefiting from volunteers. Across both Australia and America, between a quarter and half of the population volunteer each year in areas including education, sports, health, religion, and social services. What motivates people to volunteer? Yes, volunteers don't get paid. But it doesn't mean people don't get benefits from volunteering. Indeed, research shows there are significant mental health benefits coming with volunteering. It can be a means to make new friends, build new skills or try things out of your comfort zone. It can also be a means to help loved ones. A case is someone close to me who recently lost her husband to a disease. When her husband was admitted to a nursing facility, she decided to volunteer for the patient advocacy committee. She found great support and felt she could make a difference in the lives of the patients. After her husband's passing, she decided to continue volunteering for the committee not only as a way to show gratitude for the great care her husband received but also because she made friends there. She found a way to put her career skills to use for the common good and keep active after retirement. There are countless ways to volunteer. No matter how you do it, it is definitely worth every minute you put into it. 1.If we are committed to “this job” described in Para. 2, we are _______. A. always in danger of losing our lives B. on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week C. busy providing first-aid training in communities D. going to work on weekends and rest on weekdays 2.What does the author mainly tell us in the third paragraph?

The mainland boasts (拥有) well-maintained routes, while on the country’s islands you’ll find ancient paths dating back to Byzantine times connecting sleepy villages with beautiful sandy coves (小海湾). Here’s our pick of Greece’s best hikes.  Samaria Gorge (峡谷), Crete 16 kilometers(10 miles), 4 hours Hiking the 16-kilometer Samaria Gorge is considered one of Crete’s must-do experiences, which is why you’ll rarely be without company. Nevertheless, there’s an undeniable raw beauty to Samaria, where vertical (垂直的) walls soar up to 500 meters and are just 3.5 meters apart at the narrowest point (150 meters at the broadest). The hike begins at 1,230 meters at Xyloskalo just south of Omalos and ends in the coastal village of Agia Roumeli. It’s especially scenic in April and May, when wildflowers brighten the route.  Mt Ohi summit hike, Evia 8 kilometers (5 miles), 3 to 4 hours The summit of Mt Ohi (Profitis Ilias; 1,398 m), lesser-visited Evia’s third-highest peak, is crowned by mysterious ancient dragon houses: 7th century BC architecture, made from rocks weighing several tons. From Myli, it’s an 8-kilometer hike to the summit (three to four hours). It’s possible to stay overnight at the 1,000-meter-high refuge then hike up Mt Ohi to catch the sunrise(30 minutes), which makes for a magical experience.

Take class notes Three sites —StudySoup, NexusNotes, and Stuvia— offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university. You usually get a bonus when someone signs up to get access to your notes, plus a payment for each set of notes that sell. You can earn 500 per class, per semester. Become a tutor Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning. That opens an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject, from high school algebra to Spanish, to teach that subject to others. A number of tutoring platforms allow you to sign up and tutor online or in person. Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music, LessonFace. Be a survey taker The best option in this category is a site called Prolific. What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions—age, income, family status, etc.—in advance. Then, the site sends you only the surveys that you’re qualified to take. Charge scooters Big campuses are often littered with electric scooters (小型摩托车) and bikes that can be unlocked and ridden around campus. Riders can drop the scooters just about anywhere. So scooter companies enlist (征募) “chargers” to pick them up, charge them overnight and return them to a designated (指定的) area early the next morning. If you have a late class, there are two benefits of signing up to charge. First, you earn between 20 for each scooter you return fully charged.

You’ll need to be available on short notice，including late at night and on weekends. You could be asked to do anything from helping at community events to responding to life-threatening emergencies (sometimes putting your own safety at risk). This job also involves a lot of regular training. Oh, and you won't be paid for any of this. Would you take the job? This job might not necessarily appeal to everyone, but if this sounds like an opportunity you’d eagerly accept，then you’d fit right in with Western Australia’s 26,000 emergency service volunteers.

Across both Australia and America, between a quarter and half of the population volunteer each year in areas including education, sports, health, religion, and social services. What motivates people to volunteer? Yes, volunteers don't get paid. But it doesn't mean people don't get benefits from volunteering. Indeed, research shows there are significant mental health benefits coming with volunteering. It can be a means to make new friends, build new skills or try things out of your comfort zone. It can also be a means to help loved ones. A case is someone close to me who recently lost her husband to a disease. When her husband was admitted to a nursing facility, she decided to volunteer for the patient advocacy committee. She found great support and felt she could make a difference in the lives of the patients. After her husband's passing, she decided to continue volunteering for the committee not only as a way to show gratitude for the great care her husband received but also because she made friends there. She found a way to put her career skills to use for the common good and keep active after retirement. There are countless ways to volunteer.
