Several years ago,I received an e-mail from a total stranger—a 17-year-old girl named Monica Gottlieb,who lived in Vienna.In poor English,she explained that she was doing an online arch for people who shared the same names as members of her family.She tried her 19-year-old brother’s name—Marcus,and that was how she hit upon me.Monica asked me to write back and tell her a little something about mylf,which I did.
Not long after our first exchanges,Monica’s mother,Regine,wrote to me.Regine’s English was a little better than Monica,so she was able to provide more details about their life in Vienna.She also mentioned that she and her husband Michael were planning their first visit to the US.As motorcycle lovers,they intended to make a two-wheeled tour of California and the Southwestern states.She wondered if I could tell her something that I thought they should know before they began their great adventure.
I spent about an hour putting together what I considered reasonably practical advice and nt it alon
g.Regine wrote back with thanks,and told me if I came to Vienna,I should consider the Gottlieb family home as my own.She even offered me both a room and a key to the hou.
The Gottliebs eventually made their motorcycle trip and enjoyed every minute of it.Eight months later,I was welcomed to Vienna by the Gottlieb family.
We got to know each other fairly quickly.We were soon so comfortable with each other.
A few days later,Michael,Regine,and I were walking off the big meal we had just had at an open-air restaurant.As we walked and chatted,an older man coming toward us said something in German to Regine.She replied politely,laughing.After he pasd by,I asked Regine if the man was a friend.
“No,” she said.“He looked at you and Michael and said,‘It’s nice to e two brothers out for a walk together.’”
Brothers?Well—not quite.But perhaps long-lost cousins after all.

One of America’s best-known artist colonies,the MacDowell Colony,will turn 110 next year.It is a place where artists of all types can sweep away distractions(分神之事) and just create.
MacDowell’s operations are funded by foundations,corporations and
individuals.Writers,compors,photographers,filmmakers and sculptors—both famous and unknown—compete for the 32 free studios at the place.Once accepted,an artist can stay for as little as a couple of weeks,or as long as a couple of months.
When they arrive,artists find a kind of isolation(隔绝) hard to find in our world.There’s no phone.No fax.No friends.No family.It’s just a cabin in the snowy woods.
Writer Emily Raboteau lives in New York City.She came to MacDowell to work on a novel.She received a
desk,chairs,pencils,paper and ice grippers.The walk from one isolated,one-room studio to another is icy,so colony residents fasten the ice grippers to the bottom of their shoes.
Another colony resident,Belfast compor Elaine Agnew,played a piece of music called “To a Wild Ro,”written by Edward MacDowell.She says it’s so famous that every pianist in the world has played the tune.A hundred years ago,MacDowell owned the land where the colony now sits.He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there.After his death,his wife,Marion,encouraged other artists to come.
And for the last century,artists have accepted the invitation,coming to step outside of their daily lives for a short time.Privacy is respected,but cooperation and discussion are common.
Screenwriter Kit Carson—who wrote The Texas Chainsaw Massacre2 and the film adaption of Sam Shepherd’s play Paris,Texas—has visited MacDowell twice.He says that the interdisciplinary(学科间的) discussion there is valuable.
“You sit around at dinner,talking,and then somebody runs off and brings you back some stuff and shows it to you,”he says.“That,I didn’t realize,was part of the magic here,becau people are really open to showing their opinions here.”

Were you into skateboarding,surfing or snowboarding when you were a kid?We can remember our first(less successful) go at skateboarding,as well as the first time we managed to stand up on one of tho surfboards.
It was so much fun that we were hooked for life.However,not everyone thinks that introducing children to extreme sports is a good idea.
In the article from The New York Times ,writer Jon Lackman considers whether sports like snowboarding,climbing and skateboarding could be dangerous to the growing bodies of young children and looks for advice from medical professionals.“Kids aren’t mentally ready for the activiti
es,” says professor of orthopaedics (矫形外科),Dr.Vani Sabesan.“They tend to underestimate the risks,and their parents can’t always be trusted to keep them in check.”
Sabesan is particularly worried about the effects of extreme sports on TV and the Internet on children.“What we’re eing is that a lot of kids think they can do what the professional athletes can do.”
If someone who was encouraged to go surfing at the age of five,was prented with a surfboard aged ven,I think the worries are a little overstated,if not misplaced.
Extreme sports can be dangerous,but there’s as much chance of falling off your bike or your roller skates as off a skateboard or surfboard.
My own experience of extreme sports leads me to think that I’ll allow my own kids to try them in the same way my parents allowed me.
In sports such as surfing and snowboarding,there’s a n of adventure and courage that is important to instill (慢慢灌输) in young children.
Did I fall off my surfboard?All the time.Did I get back on?Every time.
Are the more extreme sports too dangerous for younger kids and better saved for teenagers?Are extreme sports a great experience for all children to have and a great way to make the most out of your childhood?
【语篇导读】本⽂是议论⽂。⽂章探讨了⼉童是否应该参加极限运动。
12.What does the underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Warned.
B.Cheated.
C.Attracted.
D.Confud.
