At 65, most people are thinking about getting a senior citizen bus pass. But for Montana woman

Ethel MacDonald, who’s now a great-grandmother, that’s when she took up tour cycling．

“I like what I like to do without having to wait for someone else to be ready,” explains the 78- year-old-great-grandmother. The appeal of biking alone on the open road, she says, is “just feeling like I’m my own boss.”

She began tour cycling in 2003, beginning with France’s Atlantic coast. Aside from trips round her native United States, she’s wheeled her way through the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Scandinavia

and beyond．

Her companion on her Ireland trip is a pink Brompton folding bike, which she’s used on five trips around the US south. She keeps another bike with a friend for her tours of mainland Europe. This seasoned biker reckons ( 估算) she’s traveled at least 100, 000 miles. “Usually my trips are close to 1,000 miles in three to four weeks.” MacDonald says．

She uses online travel communities Warm Showers and Couchsurfing to find a place to stay, and hosts guests herself at her home in Missoula, Montana. Warm Showers is exclusively( 专 门 地 ) for touring cyclists while Couchsurfing is for any travelers wanting to meet new people or open their homes to others. By August 2016, MacDonald estimated that she’d stayed with 165 hosts and hosted around 200 guests of her own. “It saves a pile of money,” she admits. “But far beyond that, the real value is the people you meet, the inspiration you get from each other, the memories, the connections.”

She keeps a scrapbook( 剪 贴 簿 ) filled with photos and notes from all the people she’s met at home and abroad, and keeps in touch with her friends

worldwide through Facebook and email. When traveling, she particularly loves the “big cultural exchange”that comes with spending each night with a new host with a different perspective on the world.

For anyone who wants to follow in her footsteps, her advice is simple, “Just do it.”

27. How does Ethel MacDonald find a place to stay? A. Through online travel communities. B. By keeping a

scrapbook. C. Through Facebook and email. D. By writing a letter.

C

Last year, I called emergency services because I found my partner unconscious on the floor. Within minutes, a police car and ambulance arrived, filled with police, doctors and nurses who moved my partner away to the emergency department, where he received the critical care that he needed.

A week later, still marveling at the impact of a handful of strangers, I wrote thank-you notes to those helpful police and doctors and nurses and baked for them. It was a small gesture with a big impact. When I dropped off cakes at the police and fire stations, they thanked me for the gifts. I drove away feeling light and happy, partly because I’d done a good deed, but mostly because I was amazed that there are selfless people who do life-saving work and expect nothing in return. Research has shown that sharing thoughts of gratitude and performing acts of kindness can boost your mood and have other positive effects on your health.

When you feel thankful for things you’ve received or something that’s happened, that’s gratitude. It’s impossible to feel it in a vacuum; others are always responsible, whether they’re loved ones, strangers or a higher power. “Gratitude is how you relate to others, when you see yourself in connection with things larger than yourself,” Ruch says.

Today, many people don’t stop to appreciate what they have, much less express gratitude. Our instant-gratification lifestyle may be to blame.

“With commercial and social media, everything is speeding the younger generation to make them feel that they are the centre of the universe,” says Tamiko Zablith, founder of the London-based etiquette consulting firm Minding Manners. “If it’s all about them, why thank others?”

Why not thank others? Studies have shown that people who express gratitude increase their happiness levels, lower their blood pressure levels, get better quality sleep, improve their relationships, have a positive impact on their depression levels and are less affected by pain.

Because gratitude is a fairly new field of study, researchers are still trying

to identify its cause- and-effect relationship with various health benefits. 28. The author’s partner was saved largely due to . A. his good luck

B. the rescuers’ joint efforts C. the author’s immediate reaction D. the police’s help

.

A. a way of expressing the author’s gratitude

B. a description of his partners’ being saved C. an explanation of the police’s personal values
