Ⅲ. 阅读理解（每小题 2.5 分，满分 20 分）
A
When you picture a day of hiking with children, you probably imagine a magical place. But the truth is that hiking with children is not always all sunshine and roses. So start by knowing your children’s hiking limits (极限) to make sure of a successful and enjoyable hike that they’ll remember.
Start small. Hiking is fun but it can be hard work for small bodies. Just as you wouldn’t run a marathon without training, you can’t expect your child to hike a long trail (路径) the first time out. Start your kids’ hiking with a small nature trail, and then add a little more distance to each trip.
Be flexible (可变通的). There is no rule that you must get to that waterfall. When hiking with kids, it’s about the journey, not the end. As adults, we easily become end-driven hikers, and that’s exactly what can make the hike less enjoyable for your child, who wants to explore and take their time.
Choose a kid-friendly destination (目的地). Your children might enjoy climbing over big stones more than sitting to admire a calm lake. Or running in a big open field might be more interesting than staring at a distant mountain when hiking with kids. Kid-friendly hikes will encourage more future hiking from your children.
▲ Set a family goal with a reward for miles hiked over a period of time. You can make it over a vacation, or over the whole summer. Your hiking kids should help set the goal and then update the chart after each hike. Children love seeing their progress in full colour.
One of the greatest gifts parents can give to their children is the love and respect for nature. Those early hikes you take as a family set the stage for a lifetime of exploration and joy. So get out and start hiking with children as early as possible. And know it’s never too late!
