W: Good morning, everyone. Now if you’re looking for something to do this weekend, why not join in the Bartlow town race on Saturday?

The race starts at Bartlow Town Hall and finishes at the football stadium; that’s five kilometers. And don’t worry if you can’t run all that way. Walkers are welcome too!

The race begins at a quarter past nine but you should arrive at the Town Hall forty-five minutes before, at half past eight, to check in and get your race number. There are money prizes for the winners in different age groups and everybody will get a free T-shirt when they finish.

Adults pay $2 each to run in the race. It is only $1.50 for children and students and if the whole family decide to run there is a special price of $5 per family. Make sure to wear comfortable running shoes. And don’t forget to bring some water with you--Saturday is going to be a lovely warm day and you may get thirsty. But it’ll be lots of fun--see you there!

【题目】 My first career had been related to audiology (听力学)---one that allowed me to work part time while tending my growing family. But when my children grew up and left home, I found myself longing to be outside, not in a soundproof room in the hospital.

So I began attending classes at the local university, hoping that might lead me to a new career. 1 “What gave you pleasure as a child?” the counselor (顾问) asked. I thought for a while before responding, “Playing outside in the woods.” Our discussion eventually led to a second master’s degree, this one in zoology, and the job as a naturalist at a state park. I was 44 years old. 2

But as I climbed the career ladder, my time in the field disappeared. I was chained to a computer screen. In the back of my mind, the career counselor’s question sounded again. “3

Shortly thereafter, an opportunity presented itself: a 4-month field research project at a university in the Netherlands. I found that field research allowed me to play in the woods again, but with a new purpose.

At the end of the project, I was invited to participate in the “sandwich” Ph.D. program, in which students do research in their home country while receiving support and instruction in the Netherlands. I was 60 years old. I didn’t think that earning a Ph. D. would further my career. 4

Still, my colleagues raised their eyebrows. “5“ they asked, “It is all about the journey,” I responded.

A. What gave you pleasure as a child?

B. I also went to see a career counselor.

C. What do you intend to do with a Ph.D.?

D. But I wanted to follow my new passion.

E. But when it was no longer right, I changed direction.

F. Can you believe you’re actually getting paid to have this much fun?

G. And I was delighted to once again experience the joy of being outdoors.

【题目】 For five days, Edmonton’s Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that’s the traditional togetherness(友爱) that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through songs.

This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. “People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation,” Riedel said. “It’s really easy to relax, and it’s great seeing family and friends have fun together.” These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone’s musical interests.

With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue(举办地) for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.

The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it’s easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.

The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug. 8.
