At the time of year when the sun’s daily appearance is often short-lived, the following warm places in Washington State are your first choice.
Alderbrook Resort & Spa
Less than a two-hour drive from Seattle, located on the edge of the Hood Canal, a nature-filled retreat（休养处）is waving. Seals slide along the waters of the Alderbrook dock（码头）, playing a game of “Go Fish” with dive-bombing seabirds. As you sit on the shaking dock just minutes after arrival, you are already in a quieter world.
Suncadia Resort
A mountain escape awaits just over the pass on 1-90, about 80 miles east of Seattle. The resort’s annual Winterfest lasts through January 2, full of holiday celebrations and winter recreation, from cross-county skiing and snow mobile tours to ice skating and snowshoe tours. Willows Lodge
Twenty miles from Seattle, this luxury lodge is nestled into the centre of Woodinville Wine Country. Situated on five landscaped acres that border the Sammamish River, the Northwest-style lodge is within walking distance of more than 35 tasting rooms. When you step into the lodge, fire crackles and hot apple rolls welcome your arrival with a celebratory air.
Seattle-area Retreats
Salish Lodge & Spa is a scenic 30-minute drive from Seattle, bringing you to a lodge integrating Old World atmosphere and modern elegance. Get out to enjoy the surroundin
g nature, hiking near the rushing 270-foot-tall Snoqualmie Falls or trying activities like fly fishing and snowshoeing. Head to North Bend for a slice of Twede’s Cafe strawberry pie.

Two years ago, Nikki Tysoe rarely got on a bike. Today, though, she’s become so addicted to the cycling world that she’s even helping to bring pedal power to mental-health nurses at the hospital where she works.
In April, the National Lottery-funded charity Access Sport introduced a program that provides bikes to Tower Hamlets’ Royal London Hospital. Nikki pushed for this to be extended to Goodmayes Hospital，a mental-health facility in northeast London where she’s a project manager. She says having the bikes not only enables nursing staff to travel safely to and from work during the coronavirus crisis, but also lets them blow off steam during their breaks.
Nikki wanted to do something to make life a bit better for the staff. There’s a lot of focus o
n the hospitals at the moment which are having an awful time but this is also an extra-stressful time for mental health staff. The bikes provide a complement to a “wobble room” within the hospital. It’s somewhere the staff can go when they’re really stressed, and the bikes are an extension of that.
Junior doctor Aiman is very grateful for the program. “Using the bike means I can get to work safely,” she says. “This has taken out a lot of worries from my daily life and allows me to focus on my patients. It’s definitely improved my mental wellbeing.” Stress levels are generally high in nursing and having bikes would make a big difference.
While Access Sport has provided Nikki with bikes, her dream is to have three or four bicycles permanently on site. Following the success of the bike loans, Nikki is working to extend the project beyond lockdown.
4. Why did Nikki want to extend the program to Goodmayes Hospital?
A. To make her hobby known.
B. To get nurses to cycle for health.
C. To fight against the coronavirus crisis.
D. To guarantee traffic safety.
5. What might a nurse feeling stressed do in a “wobble room”？
A. Attend to patients.
generatedB. Reflect on the work.
C. Listen to music and relax.
D. Receive professional training.
6. What can we infer about the program according to doctor Aiman?
A. It meets challenges.
B. It is a great success.
C. It boosts sales of bikes.
D. It is popular among patients.
7. Which of the following best describes Nikki?
A. Caring.        B. Demanding.        C. Ambitious.        D. Generous.
C
For more than a decade，a team of researchers have studied the dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet as it responds to a warming climate. But while much of their focus has been on waters impacts on ice sheet change, their most recent research findings have overturned the order of their thinking. Meierbachtol, Harper and their team discovered that changes in the ice sheet have a real impact on the massive groundwater system underlying Greenland.
