Farm & Wilderness Summer Camps
We' re not just a summer camp; we' re an experience of a lifetime. Our camps teach hands-on technical skills to our campers as they live, work and play in the wilderness, such as fire-building, food-harvesting,and farm-to-table cooking. The summer days here have a slower pace making way for fun, imagination and self-reflection as well as challenging and meaningful work.
Our Camps
Barn Day Camp Mixed Gender, Ages 4 – 10 Campers can use farming tools, milk goats, go on overnight hiking trips and enjoy adventures. Fun to fuel creativity and connection in our campers is always encouraged. Firefly Song Female, Ages 9 – 14 Campers enjoy moments of connecting with nature and each other through harvesting food, repairing bridges, building structures and intentional conversations in the woods.
Timberlake Mate, Ages 9–14 Campers learn how to become better listeners and teammates as they take charge of new events for small groups or the entire camp. They can also enjoy group bonding through hiking projects. Saltash Mountain Mixed Gender, Ages 11 – 14 Campers explore nature through fun adventures.They can learn backpacking skills, carrying everything they need on their back or in a boat,pushing the envelope with the support of their new-found friends.

I am a female scientist. Years ago, a senior scientist met with me to talk about a big research project for which I had just received funding. I was both excited and nervous. He didn't think I was prepared, and proposed I hand off a major section of the project to him. He meant well and his warnings sounded serious.But I had learned to manage how I react to such situations, partly through years of open-water swimming.
Two decades earlier when I was in college, I had an encounter with a shark. I was swimming in the ocean with a friend when the shark suddenly appeared, heading straight toward us. As it approached, Iwatched helplessly as my friend splashed (使飞溅) the water in front of it. It moved to the side as if surprised, then circled around us and disappeared. I felt small and afraid, like a tourist who didn't belong.This feeling followed me into my early career. Despite completing my Ph. D. and being hired as a scientist at a national lab, I never truly believed I belonged. When senior scientists challenged my work, my response was: Swim away from the creature threatening me.
But I never stopped open-water swimming. For years, I routinely swam at my local pool until it was forced to close. I started to spend my early mornings hiking for 30 minutes in the dark so I could swim in a lake. I hated feeling cold, but it was during those mornings that I became an open-water swimmer in my
own mind, and realized I didn't have to quit doing something even if it sounded worrying and uncomfortable.
This transformation shaped my response to the senior scientist. During a frank conversation, I told him my plans to lead the project, and he ended up cutting ties with the work. I moved forward with my team,through uncertainty and into something hard and beautiful.
24. What did the senior scientist do to the author regarding the big project
A. Deny her competence. B. Question her readiness.
C. Challenge her authority. D. Remove her qualification.
25. How did the author react to challenges in her early career
A. She defended her position firmly. B. She sought help from others.
C. She distanced herself from conflicts. D. She ignored them completely.
26. What mindset did the author develop during the morning swims
A. Breaking out of set patterns. B. Going beyond the boundaries.
C. Wrestling with the unknown. D. Being determined despite unease.
27. What does the shark encounter symbolize in the text
A. A danger in open-water swimming. B. A turning point in the career path.
C. The fear of professional challenges. D. The uncertainty of scientific inquiry.

Throughout time, communication has taken many shapes and most have changed in many ways. For example, you can talk over the phone instead of face to face. Technology makes it easier to stay connected even when we' re far apart. With this comes a downside: the speech we use in conversation doesn't always show in text, which can sometimes lead to miscommunications and shocks when you meet in person or when you begin texting or messaging.
Something I noticed is that people are more loquacious in texts and messages in real life. It makes sense —— they have more time to think and process their thoughts carefully. This gives people more freedom to be expressive, without feeling rushed or pressed by time and everyone around them. But the opposite can also be true. Some people may be quiet when texting. They find it hard to express emotions without tone or facial expressions and prefer phone calls or face-to-face conversations. Some people are simply more comfortable talking than typing, which is completely understandable.
Personally, I fall somewhere in the middle a lot, and I think most people do. It's safe to say that people talk and text in the same way very rarely. We can change in so many different ways depending on how we can feel good and what puts us at ease. To me, it's interesting to see the difference between how people act through messaging and how they act in person. It's like you' re getting to know a different side of them, which is interesting in itself.
The idea that people seem to change personality depending on how they communicate is an interesting topic. Some become more open, others more reserved. It shows how flexible and complex we are as munication style reveals a lot, so it's worth paying attention to how you and those around you express yourselves —— whether through face-to-face conversations or a simple message on a screen.
28. What problem can technology cause in communication
A. It can misrepresent one's true intention. B. It may result in unexpected social burnout.
C. It prevents natural emotional expression. D. It reduces the need for real conversations.
29. What does the underlined word“loquacious” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Positive. B. Careful. C. Talkative. D. Flexible.
30. What shapes most people's communication style according to the last two paragraphs
A. The way of Behnving. B. The unspoken message.
C. The feeling on texting. D. The personal comfort.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Advanced Tech, Lost Art of Expression B. Different Communication Forms, Changing Selfes
C. Digital Message: More than Just Words D. New Communication: Between Screen and Speech
D
It's well-known that cutting calorie intake can lead to a longer life, an effect often credited to the weight loss and metabolic (新陈代谢的) changes caused by consuming less food. Now, one of the biggest studies of dietary restriction ever conducted in lab animals shakes the conventional wisdom about how dietary restriction boosts a long life. The study found that low-calorie diets or regular periods of fasting do cause weight loss and related metabolic shifts. But other biological indicators, including immune (有免疫力的) health, genetics and physiological resistance, seem to better explain the link between cutting calories and increased lifespans (寿命).
Scientists have long known caloric restriction lengthens lifespans in lab animals, while some studies showed periodic fasting could have similar benefits. To learn more about how such diets work, the researchers monitored the health and life of 960 mice, each a genetically distinct individual drawn from a diverse population that mirrors the genetic variability found in humans. The mice were assigned to one of the three groups: calorie-limited dieting, periodic fasting, or unrestricted eating.
A 40% reduction in calorie produced the most significant long life boost, while periodic fasting and less severe calorie restriction also increased the average lifespan. Dieting mice exhibited favourable metabolic changes, including reductions in body fat and blood sugar levels. Contrary to expectations, those that lost the most weight on a calorie-restricted diet tended to die younger than those with less great and sudden weight loss. This suggests that processes beyond metabolic changes drive the body's response to dietary restriction, like immune response and genetics.
The findings could reshape how scientists approach dietary restriction research in humans. A major clinical trial of a low-calorie diet in individuals found that helped reduce metabolic rates, a short-term effect thought to signal longer-term lifespan benefits. However, the mouse data suggest that while metabolic measurements might reflect healthspan———— the years spent free from a long- term and difficult- to- cure disease——other elements are needed to say whether such anti- ageing strategies can truly extend life, which also points the way for researchers' future work.
32. How does the author present the issue in paragraph 1
A. By defining a new concept. B. By challenging a popular belief.
C. By giving a specific example. D. By drawing a scientific contrast.
33. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 2 focus on
A. The key findings. B. The sampling method.
C. The test preparations. D. The experimental design.
34. What did researchers observe in calorie- restricted mice
A. Mice gained weight after initial loss. B. Genes barely affected the outcomes.
C. Dramatic weight loss led to earlier death. D. Their blood sugar levels kept stable.
35. What does the author expect future research to do
A. Integrate multiple biological factors. B. Track long- term metabolic rates.
C. Develop safe anti- ageing strategies. D. Test fasting conditions in humans.

Imagine dusting off your old bicycle, and feeling the familiar cool metal and rubber handlebars. You haven't ridden it in years, and the idea of getting back on it fills you with both expectation and anxiety.36 Like riding a bike, it's full of moments of hesitation,efforts, and ultimately, victories. The bike, symbolic of our dreams, waits for us to begin again.
Too often, we aim too high, fail to succeed, and then grow used to it. Then we set goals again.37 So I decided to start small. First I just put air in the tires one day, nothing more. The next day I cleaned the bike. Then I placed it where I'd see it daily. Soon, the only thing left was finding 10minutes to ride. Taking just one small step daily helps boost motivation.
38 Last year, I pedaled(蹬) 1,000 miles, and this year, I'm already at 1,300 miles and still going strong! To raise funds for crucial cancer research, I' ve completed two bike marathons, pushing my limits for a great cause.
Getting back on the bike wasn't easy. At first, my body felt rigid, balance shaky, and traffic stressful.But that's how every new start felt: painstakingly slow and uncomfortable. 39 My body adjusted,rhythm returned, and confidence grew. This is neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) in action. Each successful ride lifted my self-confidence, empowering me to tackle other challenges.
The key, on a bike or in life, is where we focus. Take one of my regular routes, Summit Avenue on the Corey Hill. That peak feels impossibly hard and far away. But here's the secret to defeating it — forget the distant peak. 40 That's how we move forward.
A. I knew I had to break the cycle.
B. Slowly, this strategy worked wonders.
C. Life mirrors this experience in many ways.
D. Success followed when I least anticipated it.
E. Yet as I kept at it, something magical happened.
F. Focus just on the front wheel and the next few inches.
G. Sometimes all we need is just a little push to get going.

One of the best parts of traveling abroad is undoubtedly trying dishes made by locals. During my time inChina, I discovered Chinese food was much more diverse and richer in tastes than I56 (imagine)prior to my travel.
I was a cautious (谨慎的) eater and stuck to my favorites: American Chinese dishes like egg rolls.While I' ve always enjoyed them, I didn't realize how 57 (limit) my understanding ofChinese cuisine truly was.
During my first days in Beijing, I was not sure 58 I would be trying to taste, and Iexperienced some culture shock, especially at breakfast. One of the most common breakfast items that I was first introduced 59 was“baozi”, a steamed bun (小面包) filled with pork. Initially hesitant, I soon adjusted and, before long, 60 (find) myself attracted by the famous Peking duck, a local specialty 61 (feature) crisp (酥脆的) skin and flavorful sauces.
As I traveled across China, I discovered a variety of regional specialties ranging from rice noodles to hot pot, which symbolize a source of pride for the locals. By the end of my stay, I had grown more adventurous and developed an 62 (appreciate) of unfamiliar tastes. Though I now enjoy authentic Chinese food in Chinatown back home, I often long 63 (have) the meals I had inChina. I' ve learned that food isn't simply about flavor, 64 about connection, culture, and being open to 65 unfamiliar.

That day, I was at the airport, waiting to board a flight, which had been delayed. To pass the time, Ipulled out my sketchbook (素描本) and pencil from my bag and started drawing.
Not far from me, a young mom was struggling to keep her twins , a boy and a girl about three or four years old, under control. Full of energy, they were climbing on chairs, pulling at her backpack, and running after each other. She was clearly tired, trying her best to keep them close and calm. Occasionally,the twins would wander over to me, looking at my drawings with curious eyes. It was one of the rare moments when they stayed quiet.
Eventually, we boarded. I was surprised to find that the mom and her kids were seated just across the aisle (过道) from me. The twins were in the window and middle seats, and she sat on the aisle. As the plane prepared for takeoff, the kids were still excited, pointing at the safety card and asking questions like" Are we really going to fly "
But the moment the plane thundered down the runway and lifted off the ground, everything changed.The girl cried first, followed quickly by her brother shouting,“I don't want to fly anymore I want to get off!” Their cries grew louder and more panicked as the plane climbed. The mom tried desperately to calm them, hugging them across the seats, whispering comforts and her voice starting shaking too.
The cry continued for quite a while. I noticed some passengers in the cabin (机舱) began to look over sympathetically. Someone gave the twins some small toys and cookies to calm them. But they just couldn't stop. I could feel the mom's stress and helplessness —— she looked as if she might cry too. When my fingers touched the bag with my sketchbook and pencils, I got an idea. Maybe I could do something for the young mom.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式作答。
So, I asked if she would like to switch seats with me. Within minutes, the cabin grew quiet again.
