Frances Stevens Reese Woodland Trail
Guide
The
Woodland
Trail
was
opened
to
the
public
on
October
21,
1997.
Boscobel
’
s
Board
of
Directors
adopted a formal
decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of
the former Boscobel Board
member,
Frances Stevens
Reese(1917
－
2003), one year
after her death.
The trail is
approximately 10 miles in length, leading down to
Constitution Forest. When
the West
Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil
War, trees for miles around were
cleared to provide firewood. Walking
out of the forest, you will find a large mass of
native
hard rock about three billion
years old.
Throughout
this
country
path,
you
will
find
picture
boards
identifying
birds
and
plants
local
to this region. You
will also find signs with historical and
environmental information written
by
area specialists.
When
you
take
a
walk
through
this
“
undiscover
ed”
forest
land,
please
be
a
considerate
guest.
●
Before walking
along the trail, please
purchase a pass
in the
Carriage House. Plan
ahead,
so you will be back by closing time.
●
Follow the trail markers
and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the
fragile forest
ecosystem, you will
reduce the risk of getting hurt by poisonous
plants and snakes.
●
Leave
rocks, plants, animals and artworks where you see
them so that the person behind
you can
have the same experience.
●
Carry out whatever you
carry in because there are no rubbish containers
on the trail. If
you happen to see a
piece of litter, be a good guest and pick it up.

9·江西临川一中等六校联考
)When Huang Lizhi took her
first class in African sociology
at the
University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa in
February, her professor asked her and
her classmates what impressed them most
when it came to Africa.
Unexpectedly,
Huang, 31, found that words like
“
poverty
”
and
“
safari
”—
negati
ve words
that
were
often
associated
with
the
continent
in
media
reports
—
were
the
kind
of
terms
her
African
classmates didn
’
t
want to hear. Instead, they preferred to hear the
question answered in this
way
：“Africa is the
cradle
of humankind”and
“Africans are passionate and generous”．
Apparently,
there
are
some
misunderstandings
between
us.
It
’
s
true
that
with
incidents
like
the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and
the emergence(
出现
) of pirates
off the coast of Somalia
hitting
the
news,
it
’
s
easy
for
us
to
keep
forgetting
that
Africa
has
one
of
the
world
’
s
oldest
civilizations
< br>—
Egypt, born by the
world
’
s longest river, the
Nile. The proof is in the Great
Pyramid
of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza, which are
both popular among tourists. And the
tombs of
ancient
Egypt have also
become
endless
sources for the literature and
film industries.
When it comes to the
natural environment of Africa, our
misunderstandings are only bigger.
But
the truth is that instead of being extremely hot
all year round and covered by desert, the
continent
has
large
areas
of
savannas(
稀树草原
)
where
lions,
giraffes
and
zebras
live,
the
snow
?
capped
Kilimanjaro
—
the highest
mountain in Africa
—
and even
thick forest on the island of
Madagascar. These misunderstandings are
one of the reasons why the 2018 Beijing Summit of
the
Forum on China?Africa Cooperation
was held on Sept. 3 and 4—
to understand
each other better.
Indeed,
only
by
visiting
Africa
herself
did
Huang
see
the
convenient
living
conditions,
the
amazing
natural
beauty
and
the
friendly
people.
In
her
eyes,
her
classmates
were
as
hopeful
about
the future of their own countries as
they were about Africa as a whole, and they were
quick to
demonstrate
both
their
strong
will
and
activity.
“
At
that
moment,
I
knew
exactly
what
they
wanted
—
they
wanted th
eir culture to be
respected.”

(2019·合肥第一次质量检测
)Have you
ever heard of agritourism where you can experience
the
farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy
Ay
ers?Elliott will tell you the real
story of Food Print Farms.
The original concept of building Food
Print Farms was simple. When
Ayers
?
Elliott returned
to
her
hometown
after
graduation,
she
didn
’
t
have
to
look
any
further
than
her
state
’
s
alarming
health statistics
to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there
were reports of high blood
pressure,
diabetes,
obesity
and
heart
disease.
“
The
problem
was
already
identified
，
”
explains
Ayer
s
?
Elliott.
“
Too many Mississippians were seriously
unhealthy and
it didn’t take research
to
see
that.
And
many
of
the
state
’
s
greatest
health
challenges
could
directly
result
from
poor
diet.
”
These days, Food Print Farms, which
started with a few raised beds of herbs and
vegetables,
is
making
fresh,
naturally
grown
fo
od.
“When
speaking
of
the
key
to
my
success,
the
co
?
op
model
works because we share
the work and
rewards
，
”
notes
Ayers
?
Elliott.
“
A perfect example is the
Wingfield High School football team. To
earn the money for equipment and other items,
players
committed to working five hours
a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer
they produced
1
，
000 melons and
the profits from their sales helped to buy
weights, T
?
shirts, sweat
suits and
pregame meals. But the
lessons they learned about the rewards of hard
work and working together
to accomplish
something were even more valuable products of
their efforts.”
“
It
’
s
a
model
that
can
easily
be
learned
in
other
places
and
I
’
m
looking
forward
to
seeing
some of
our current partners do just
that
—
to take what they have
learned here and spin it off
in other
communities
，
”
Ayers
?
Elliott remarks. She
is now looking forward to developing an
agritourism area to the farm, where
visitors can experience the farm life, learn new
skills and
take
with
them
seeds
of
inspiration
they
can
sow
in
their
own
communities
when
they
return
home.

The failure of
her career after graduation.
D

(2019·武汉高三调研
)Anxiety is a
natural
response that changed gradually
over
millions of
years
to
make
us
more
careful
and
our
bodies
prepared
to
flee
danger.
But
feeling
anxious
because
you hear a noise on
a dark street isn
’
t the same
th
ing as having an anxiety disorder.
“The
key thing we look for in the
clinic is whether anxiety is
interfering(
妨碍
) with a
person
’
s
day
?
to
?
day
life,
or
causing
them
a
lot
of
unhappiness
，
”
says
Nick
Grey
of
King
’
s
College
London.
To
clinical
psychologists
like
Grey,
“
maladaptiv
e(
不适应的)
beliefs”
are
typical
in
anxiety
disorders and are
often used to determine the type of anxiety
someone has. In social anxiety
disorder, the most common anxiety
disorder, you might believe that your face turning
red will
result
in
people
laughing
at
you.
People
with
this
type
of
disorder
experience
constant
and
great
fear
before, during and after social events.
If
you
have
panic
disorder,
you
might
assume
that
you
are
having
a
heart
attack
if
your
heart
starts
to
race.
The
physical
symptoms
of
anxiety
—
a
pounding
heart,
breathing
difficulty,
feeling
dizzy
—
will
then
come
on
in
a
rush.
Everyone
can
experience
such
panic
attacks
from
time
to
time,
but in panic disorder
the attacks are regular and become a source of
anxiety themselves.
Other
“
maladaptive
beliefs
”
are
less
specific.
