Four Best Outdoor Winter Activities Around the Midwest
Don’t let winter freeze you out. When the outside ices over, Midwesterners should take advantage of it. Look through our list and find the season’s coolest activities.
Walk on (Not) Thin Ice, Wisconsin
Once you walk, the ice talks, or rather, sings. When you step onto a frozen lake (remember, the ice must be at least 4 inches thick), it responds with different sounds. Even in the stillness of winters, the lake reminds you it’s still here—and still alive.
Let It Go, Minnesota
To all Queen Elsa’s fans: Your palaces are waiting for you. Ice artists here have carved walk-through castles with underground passages, slides and frozen fountains looking like natural formations. At night, colorful LEDs light up the ice. Take a seat on an ice throne—the cold never bothers you anyway.
Sled(乘雪橇) like an Olympian, Muskegon, Michigan
Live out your Beijing 2022 fantasies at the Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park. Three-time Olympian Frank Masley designed an 850-foot long track where green hands are accepted. Sleds can reach speeds of up to 30 mph on it. Come and enjoy this unique experience!
Fly a Kite, Clear Lake, Iowa
In the clear blue sky, a school of fish is streaming in the wind, tailed by a hungry, fierce dragon. Look up, and you’re floating in a fantasy world. Look down, and you realize you’re grounded—on solid ice. Clear Lake’s Color the Wind kite festival began about 20 years ago to brighten up dull winter days.

I had not hugged a friend or a family member for more than two years until recently when my sister flew in for a brief visit. For safety, we met outside. Despite the wintry weather, her hug warmed me from the inside out. It’s strange, but only now do I truly realize how much I’ve missed embracing loved ones.
I grew up through war in my hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia, and every moment was full of danger. On one peaceful morning, I had begged my mom to let me go outside after spending weeks indoors. She finally agreed. I was outside for only 10 minutes when I was caught in an explosion. I ran to my neighbor’s house for safety and hung my arms around her neck just as my legs collapsed underneath me.
Thankfully, I made a full physical recovery, but the emotional scars never left me. Years later there was another explosion near my house. I was safely inside, but my father had left to buy a loaf of bread. He had only just missed the explosion. When he came back inside, I gave him the biggest hug imaginable. I was caked in tears as I held him tight.
That same night my parents managed to arrange my escape from our war-torn city. I was 16 and came to America on my own. A generous host family took me in. They had a large dog called Oscar. Over the next several months, I secretly struggled with feeling homesick and worried about my family back home. Despite managing quite well at school, I couldn’t express my feelings. The only way I shared how I felt was by giving Oscar a big hug.
It is yet another sad aspect of our pandemic(疾病大流行的) lives that hugging a stranger is the last thing on our minds. For many of us, even hugging a relative or a friend comes with stress and anxiety over risks and precautions. As I look back on my past, I count myself truly lucky to have been held, shielded and encouraged at some of the most key moments of my life by the power of a hug.
5.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Experience of war. B.Love for family.
C.Impact of pandemic. D.Power of embracing.
6.How did the author feel when she hugged her father?
A.Frightened. B.Ashamed. C.Relieved. D.Astonished.
7.What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A.She had her arms hurt in an explosion.
B.She missed her family very much while in America.
C.She couldn’t catch up with her classmates at school.
D.She recovered quickly from the wounds of the war.
8.What does the underlined word “shielded” mean in Paragraph 5?
A.Protected. B.Persuaded. C.Covered. D.Understood.
C
Around the new year, many people are making and checking their list, trying to ensure they have gifts for their beloved ones. Most people have a few names that keep getting pushed to the bottom of their lists because they can’t think of anything for them. Usually, the people who are most difficult to choose presents for are men.
But why? The reason is that men are given more social permission to buy what they want for themselves, so if there is something they want they have probably already bought it.
Below the surface, however, is the fact that men are socialized to find their self-worth in taking care of women and children, and not to want anything for themselves from anyone else. That is why men, when asked, often insist that they don’t need anything for themselves.
It is easier for men to accept gifts meant to help them be more productive in their role of taking care of the family which they can explain as “not really being for me”. For example, men may be gifted household tools, or ties in recognition of their role as a breadwinner. On the other hand, men rarely are given gifts that are designed just to give them pleasure but have no productive value.
In general, men’s ability to be playful or allow themselves to experience pleasure is significantly impaired. They can be comfortable with pleasure as long as it is productive in some way, or if it benefits other people like a vacation for the kids. However, any play or pleasure that is not for someone else’s benefit or productive is often a real challenge for men.
Young boys certainly know how to play and experience pleasure, but somewhere along the way they forget how. In the delightful movie Hook(1991), Robin Williams plays Peter Pan after he grows up into a workaholic lawyer who has completely forgotten how to be a little boy and have fun. Captain Hook comes from Neverland and catches his children, and the only way Peter can rescue them is to reconnect with his ability to be a little boy.
9.What does the author think of the reason given in paragraph 2?
A.It needs to be tested further.
B.It has little to do with the reality.
C.It fails to touch the real cause.
D.It doesn’t take everything into account.
10.Which of the following gifts are men likely to accept?
A.Gifts that increase their efficiency at work.
B.Gifts that remind them of their childhood.
C.Gifts that promote their role in the family.
D.Gifts that provide them with great pleasure.
11.What does the underlined word “impaired” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Ignored. B.Recognized. C.Increased. D.Weakened.
12.Why is the movie Hook mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To give a suggestion. B.To make a comparison.
C.To tell a story. D.To recommend a movie.
