The Best US National Parks You’ve Never Heard of
Dry Tortugas National Park
Located 70 miles west of Key West, this group of seven islands is a great destination to enjoy some of Florida’s
nature. The islands are composed of coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and sand, and they are famous for the birds and sea life.
Tourists can also enjoy Fort Jefferson, which dates back to the 19th century.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is divided into two units, a northern unit and a southern unit. Between the two
sections, this park gives tourists the opportunity to experience some of North Dakota’s unique scenery, including the
Badlands, canyons ( 峡谷) and more. The hiking trails ( 小 径 ) allow tourists to see some of this country’s natural
wonders and amazing wildlife.

have been destroyed at sea.

I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not
share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two
favorite games — “Do We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place” — and made them play every few months. Their
enthusiasm never matched mine.
If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded pile is never quite the
trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be
better at moving on.
So, this time I found help — the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Magic
Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full
Kondo? I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them
together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy.
This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My
wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong.
Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants, shirts, suits and
shoes. Then my last category: jackets. I haven’t worn it in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now, has its
time come?
I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I
ever wear it again? Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear? Does it bring me joy? Actually, yes. At this moment, my
daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and
full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia (怀念) is the very reason.
I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless,
sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.
24. What can we learn about the author’s family members from Paragraph 1?
A. They can’t tolerate what the author insists on.
B. They are less passionate about full minimalism.
C. They are strongly opposed to full minimalism.
D. They completely support what the author does.
25. What does the underlined word “discarded” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. abandoned B. disposable C. organized D. classified
26. What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up?
A. To learn how to categorize.
B. To develop a passion for minimalism.
C. To persuade his family members.
D. To improve his tidying skills.

A. The importance of categorizing skills.
B. The changes brought by minimalism
C. The author’s efforts to go minimalism
