It’s hard to imagine the San Francisco Peninsula and the Marin Headlands connected by anything but the Golden Gate Bridge as if its red beams (梁), constructed 75 years ago, were always part of the permanent landscape.
A delicate fireworks display recently celebrated the bridge’s 75th anniversary, but you can still celebrate on a smaller scale and catch a lot more. Try shopping for some anniversary souvenir, joining in a guided tour, or simply going for a walk across the 1.7-mile-wide bridge.
Beyond the bridge, the beloved City by the Bay is still appealing with secret San Francisco musts to keep the celebration going. Here are a few more:
Bourbon and Branch

House of Air
A favorite among locals and tourists, this activity center has dozens of trampolines (蹦床) to jump on, trampoline walls to bounce off. Space is rented by how much time you want to bounce about, but be cautious about overdoing it; jumping around for even 10 minutes is exhausting!
Nightlife at California Academy of Science
For anyone who wished that film “Night at the Museum” could be real, every Thursday night the California Academy of Science offers a simulated (模拟的) rainforest and aquarium, all under the same roof. There’s also live music, several bars and a different theme every week.
Musee Mecanique

As a young girl, having read stories of men conquering Mount Everest and rowing across the Atlantic, I dreamed of doing something really adventurous. However, I believed that to be a successful adventurer you had to be a man. Years later I was to disprove this belief by becoming the first British woman to walk to the Magnetic North Pole.
In 1995 I was reading a newspaper in the garden, when I spotted a feature which said: “WANTEND ten novice arctic explorers”—to take part in an expedition to walk 350 miles to the Magnetic North Pole.
I recognized immediately that this was the opportunity I had been waiting for. The ad went on to describe the qualities that the organizers were looking for: the ability to work in a team, and the ability to raise £15, 000. I was prepared to do this because I wanted to know if I could survive in the Arctic. There was no reason to delay so I sent off for more details. When the brochure arrived, the most significant thing that hit me were the words on the front page. Are you man enough for the Ultimate Challenge?
Immediately my mind raced back to those books I had read all those years ago as a child, about all those men who had been successful adventurers. Only men could be successful adventurers. I was angry. Suddenly that became all the motivation I needed to follow up on this opportunity. “I’ll show them,” I thought to myself. “If they think only men can do this, I am going to prove them wrong.”
4. What was the author’s dream when young?
A. To be a success. B. To be a man.
C. To be an adventurer. D. To write adventurous stories.
5. Which quality should the participants possess according to the ad?
A. Co-operation. B. Survival skills.
C. Money-making ability. D. Adventure experiences.
6. What made the author angry?
A. Racial prejudice. B. Sex discrimination.
C. Books offending women. D. Unfairness in society.
7. Which message does the passage convey?
A. Hard work will pay off. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Women can do what men do. D. Every trade has its master.
C
A new high-performance contact lens (隐形眼镜) under development at the University of Heidelberg will not only correct ordinary vision faults but will improve normal night vision as much as five times making people’s vision sharper than that of cats.
Bille and his team work with an instrument called an active mirror. Connected to a wave-front sensor that tracks and measures the course of a laser beam (激光束) into the eye, the aluminum mirror discovers the faults of the cornea (眼角膜) , the transparent protective layer covering the eyeball. The highly precise data from the two instruments, which, Bille hopes, will one day be found at the opticians (配镜师) all over the world—serve as a basis for the production of completely individualized contact lenses that correct and improve the wearer’s vision.
By day, Bille’s contact lenses will focus rays of light so accurately on the retina (视网膜). Lens wearers will be able to identify a face at a distance of 100 meters—80 meters farther than they would normally be able to see. At night, the lenses have an even greater potential. Normally, people can see a face at a distance of 5 metres. In his experiments night vision was improved by an even greater factor: in semi-darkness, test participants could see up to 15 times better than without the lenses.
Bille’s lenses are expected to reach the market soon, and one tentative plan is to use the Internet to transmit information on patients’ visual faults from the optician to the manufacturer, who will then produce and mail the contact lenses within a couple of days. The physicist expects the lenses to cost about a dollar a pair: about the same as conventional one-day disposable lenses.
8. Which of the following is meant to protect the eyeball?
A. The contact lens. B. The wave-front sensor.
C. The cornea. D. The aluminum mirror.
9. How far away can people normally identify a face in the day?
A. 20 metres. B. 75 metres. C. 80 metres. D. 100 metres.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The lenses will be in consumers’ price range.
B. The lenses have gained popularity among customers.
C. It will take several hours before costumers get the lenses.
D. The manufacturers have stored the patients’ information in advance.
11. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The Advantages of Contact Lens
B. The Competitive Market of Contact Lenses
C. The Contact Lens: Make Your Eyes Charming
D. The Contact Lens: Make Your Sight Sharper than Cats’
D
