/Tourism/Biking Spring Bike Opening 2025 Biking in Yellowstone National Park can be a fun experience! There are special times when you can ride your bike on the roads before cars are allowed. The best time to bike is in spring. This usually happens from mid-March to the third Thursday in April.

When the snow is cleared and the roads are ready, you can ride from Mammoth to the West Entrance (Route 1).

Cars can use this road all year, but there won’t be too many.

Have you ever been sprayed (喷洒) with water right before an important event Usually, clothes become darker when they get wet. It will certainly be nice if the water doesn’t change the color of the clothes so much. But sadly, this isn’t how things work. So what will happen to clothes when they get wet
Before understanding this question, we should first take a quick look at how we see colors. Take a red shirt as an example. When it’s hit by the light from the sun, it takes in different wavelengths (波长) of light, except the wavelength of red light. The wavelength of red light is reflected (反射) to our eyes. That is why the shirt appears red to us.
Now, let’s return to the wet shirt. When the light hits a wet shirt, it has to pass through the water on the shirt. The light that should be reflected by the shirt is taken in by the water. This means less light will be sent to our eyes. As a result, the shirt looks darker.
But remember, sometimes a wet shirt can seem brighter from some specific angles (特定的角度) while people are watching it carefully. The surface of a shirt is usually rough. Adding water to it makes it smoother. A smooth surface reflects light in a different way from a rough surface. This way, you may see the small and bright reflection of the light from a certain angle. “ ▲ ” So usually, a wet shirt will be darker than a dry one, but it can also appear more “shinier” at times.
Next time, your shirt gets wet, take a close look at it and then you’ll discover an amazing result.
26. How do we see a red shirt according to the writer
A. Through its own red color.
B. Through the light from the sun.
C. Through different wavelengths of light from the sun.
D. Through the wavelength of red light reflected to our eyes.
27. Why does a wet shirt always look darker than a dry one
A. Because the light is taken in by the water and less light is sent to our eyes.
B. Because the light is taken in by the water and more light is sent to our eyes.
C. Because the light is reflected by the shirt and less light is sent to our eyes.
D. Because the light is reflected by the shirt and more light is sent to our eyes.
28. What does the underlined word “rough” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Not smooth. B. Not cheap. C. Very basic. D. Very ugly.
29. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” Paragraph 4
A. As a result, dry shirts reflect no light at all.
B. Therefore, water always makes clothes look brighter.
C. For example, all wet clothes become completely shiny.
D. However, this shininess only happens from specific angles.
30. What is the best title for the passage
A. Water Changes the Color of Clothes B. Why Wet Clothes Look Darker
C. How Light Works on Wet Clothes D. The Secret of Light Wavelengths

China has a long history of beautiful clothes. Traditional clothing shows the country’s rich culture and tradition. Two special kinds are Hanfu and Qipao.
Hanfu is the oldest style. People wore it thousands of years ago. It has long clothes with big arm parts. Hanfu comes in many colors like red (for luck) and blue (for peace). Today, young people wear Hanfu at festivals or for photos. It’s becoming popular again because it looks graceful.
The Qipao (also called Cheongsam) is a modern classic dress. It became famous in the 1920s. Qipao has a close fit with a high collar. Its style is simple but attractive. People often wear it for special occasions like weddings or parties. Silk is the best material for Qipao because it shines softly.
Both clothes use lovely decoration. Hanfu may have flower patterns (图案), while Qipao often has beautiful buttons called “frog closures” (中式盘扣). Bright colors like gold and pink are common.
Traditional clothes tell stories about China’s past. Wearing them helps people remember old traditions. Today, designers mix these styles with modern fashion. You might see Hanfu patterns on new dresses or Qipaos in new colors! Chinese clothing is not just about looking nice—it keeps history alive.
