When the weather is beautiful, it can be hard to resist spending time outdoors. Fortunately, the Garden State has plenty of outdoor spaces to offer. These public parks all have unique qualities that make them stand out among the rest.
Boundary Creek Natural Resource Area
Boundary Creek is a 34 acre park designed for quiet nature study. Families can use the grassy open space, complete with picnic tables near the parking lot for picnics.
A special feature is the observation boardwalks for people of all heights to watch the animals without being noticed.
Challenge Grove Park
Challenge Park is not a challenge for children with special needs. Both playgrounds at the park are wheelchair accessible and the newest playground, Build Jake’s Place, was built specifically for children of all abilities.
The 17-acre park also includes a basketball court, ball park and covered picnic area with bathrooms. There is a paved path throughout the park.
Laurel Acres
Probably the most popular park due to how full the parking lot always seems to be is Laurel Acres. Fortunately, the park is big enough that the parking is only thing that ever seems full.
For children, there are three playgrounds to choose from, one of which is for smaller children. The huge hill is great for rolling or sledding down. Children also enjoy watching the ducks and geese in and around the pond.
The park includes a picnic area with covered pavilion(亭子).

When I was a kid, my siblings(兄弟姐妹) and I used to have ice cream for dessert. Every day, we would choose which ice cream flavor to have, whether to eat it in a cone or a bowl. Then we would happily wolf down our treat(款待) as fast as we could.
Once, though, when I was probably about 10 or 11, our grandpa came to visit. Grandpa always had a unique view on things. On this particular occasion, my sister and I were making bets as to who could finish their ice cream first. With a smile, Grandpa said, “Why would you want to finish first? If you eat slowly, it will last longer. You should have a competition to see who can finish last.” Even now, I always try to taste my ice cream, but of course this is about more than just dessert.
Too often, kids want to scramble(争夺) for more, whether it’s more ice cream, more toys, or more friends. This habit persists into our adult years, and we end up constantly scrambling for more. We never develop the skill of appreciating what we have. If we learn to recognize this pattern and change it, we can raise our kids a little differently, giving them the tool of tasting their proverbial dessert, which could lead to a happier life for them.
What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the opportunity to enjoy what’s in front of you, the pleasure will last longer and be more rewarding than if you rush through life always trying to get the next treat. It’s a lesson that, I think, has made my adult life happier, as well. These days, when I want something, I wait as long as I can before I allow myself to have it. Then, when I finally get it, I make sure to treasure it as long as possible, because I know that, no matter what it is, it will be gone all too soon.

B. doesn’t like ice cream as much as before
C. benefits a lot from her grandfather’s advice
D. just starts to understand her grandfather

People who are slightly overweight or mildly obese(肥胖的) have a lower risk of early death than normal weight individuals(个人;个体), according to a new analysis of nearly 100 international studies.
The studies most conducted within the past decade, included about three million adults from around the world. The result of these studies by researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics in Maryland, part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, shows that slightly overweight or obese people were six percent less likely to die from all causes compared to people of normal weight. But the researchers found that seriously obese individuals were still at a 30 percent greater risk of death compared to healthy-weight individuals.
Study lead author Katherine Flegal says she was not surprised that overweight people would not have a higher death risk. “Because we’d actually already read a lot of this literature and realized that death rates for overweight would be at least not higher than normal weight,” she said. “I guess I was a little bit surprised that it was definitely lower And I was also surprised that the lower rates of obesity didn’t seem to differ from normal weight.”
But Flegal stresses the difference in death rates appear to be small between normal-weight people and overweight and mildly obese individuals.
The finding by Flegal and colleagues have raised new questions about the reliability(可靠性) of the so-called “body mass index” or BMI, a measurement of body fat as a ratio(比例，比率) of height to weight, that has become popular in recent years among public health experts to measure potential health risks.
But Heymsfield warns that individuals should not conclude that it’s okay to put on extra kilograms, since being at a healthy weight lowers the risk for heart disease and diabetes.
32. Katherine Flegal feels surprised at the fact that ________.
A. obese people have higher death rates
B. slightly obese people have lower death rates
C. obese people tend to die early
D. death rates have nothing to do with body weight
33. What do we learn from the fifth paragraph?
A. BMI may not be so reliable.
B. The study provides further evidence for BMI.
C. BMI tells nothing about potential health risks.
D. BMI has been much questioned recently.
34. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. It’s OK to put on extra weight.
B. It doesn’t matter if you are slightly obese.
C. Obese people are much healthier.
D. Body weight has nothing to do with death rates.
35. What topic does the passage mainly deal with?
A. Technology. B. Dieting. C. Health. D. Death.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
A happy family life doesn’t happen by chance. It is a result from husband and wife who carefully and diligently create a home where there is love, respect, forgiveness, patience, service and selflessness.
36 The love of husband and wife makes their union last forever; the love of parents for children enables them to feel safe in the world; the love of children for parents lightens the burden that the parents bear; and the love among children reduces quarrels and fights.
A couple who respect each other never blame their spouse(配偶). He or she doesn’t think much about her or his weaknesses but helps her or him overcome them. 37
Forgiveness cannot be ignored either. Conflicts often arise in a family but they can be settled right away. The one who is at fault should immediately ask for forgiveness and the other should choose to forgive. 38
39 If there is patience in the family, anger will be controlled and there will be peace and harmony.
40 Small acts of service in a family make people’s hearts glad. Children learn simple acts of service by giving their parents a glass of water, and a couple serve each other by taking care of family members.
A. Live in harmony.
B. Love is the greatest of all virtues.
C. If there is respect, there will be encouraging words.
D. If there is forgiveness, there will be no anger or misunderstanding.
E. Being patient is difficult, especially for parents with babies or teenagers.
F. If you do something wrong, you must make an apology.
G. The best service is always found within the walls of homes.
