Last Friday, we paid a visit to Beijing World Park, which was an unforgettable experience. In the morning, we arrived at the park by bus. When we got into the park, we saw many miniature landscapes in the world, such as the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben. Then we enjoyed folk dances by performers from foreign countries. Their performances were different and brought us into a cultural world. Before we left, we took a photo at the gate. We had so much fun that day and got to know more about different places in the world. We hope we can have another chance to go there!

Welcome to Olympic National Park!
The parks is located in the western state of Washington and it covers more than 400, 000 hectares. Each area of the park offers visitors something special. Here are some places to go. Elwha Valley
The Elwha Valley is in the central part of the park. It is the Olympic Peninsula's largest watershed(分水岭). Long ago, the rivers in this area held the most salmon(鲑鱼) outside of Alaska. In the 1920s, a growing community of settlers built two hydroelectric(水力发电) dams to provide energy for the local economy. The dams created many problems for the river. They decreased the water in the rivers, which caused the fish population in the area to decrease. This affected the other animals that depended on fish for food.
The community later decided to take some measures to solve problems. Today, the Elwha River is the site of one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in National Park Service history.
Hurricane Ridge
Hurricane Ridge is a mountain area in the northern part of the park. It is easy to enter, and provides incredible views of the Olympic Mountains.
The ridge has many hiking paths. In winter, people come here to ski. They also come here to take part in other fun winter activities, like sledding and snowboarding.
Hurricane Ridge usually has snow from December through the end of March. Visitors must be prepared for icy roads and severe weather.

Rialto Beach is known for its tall seastacks(海蚀柱). These formations are tall towers of rock standing in the sea. Kalaloch Beach is known for its white sand. It also has three national wildlife refuges, which protect the area’s bird and fish species.

PROBLEMS Alice: Yesterday, at the beginning of the chemistry exam, I spent more time on a difficult question than I intended. When I saw the others turning to the next page, I became so nervous that I couldn’t even work out simple questions. I really want to know how to control myself in exams. Could you give me some advice? Rob: I’m trying to review for my exams, but it’s hard to concentrate for long. I sit on the bed with my books, but then I lie down and fall asleep. And my parents ask me to do things or my friends call, so I give up studying. I’m starting to panic. What should I do? Lara: I get good marks at school, so my friends all want to copy my homework. But I spend a lot of time working while they’re having fun. It’s not fair, and I’m getting fed up with this situation. But how do I tell them they can’t copy my work----I don’t want to lose my friends. Help! ADVICE Concentrate on the exam. Don’t daydream or be distracted by the other test takers. Some students do exams quickly, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they get all the questions right. Just stick to your own pace, and learn to budget your time sensibly. It’s quite normal to be nervous but you should calm down! It’s helpful to have a regular routine—try to study at the same time every day. And you’d better tell your friends and family not to interrupt you! Sit down to work at a desk or table, and take break half hour to get up and do something different for five minutes. Good luck! Your friends ought to know that they shouldn’t copy your work. It’s cheating. The next time they ask, say no nicely but firmly. Tell them that they have to do the work themselves or they won’t learn anything. If they don’t understand, they aren’t real friends. 24. Which of the following piece of advice might be helpful to Alice? A. Do exams quickly B. Work at your own pace
C. Have a regular routine D. Avoid cheating in the exam 25. Why is Lara very angry with her friends? A. Because they want to copy her homework B. Because they often have fun without her C. Because they take her homework back home D. Because they distract her during the exam
26. How often should we do something different while doing the review? A. Every five minutes B. Every twenty minutes C. Every thirty minutes D. Every two hours 27. Where are the texts most probably taken from?
A. An English dictionary B. A science magazine C. A business newspaper D. A student magazine

In 1952, my daddy traveled with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. He worked on a very large dredge vessel(挖泥船), and he went where it went. This meant he spent a lot of time away from our North Carolina home. As Christmas approached, he called from Galveston, Texas. Daddy explained to my mother why he would not be celebrating the holiday with us. Money was tight and he didn’t have a way to get back to his family. Disappointed as she was, Mother knew he was right. She also knew we would be upset, so she told my two sisters, brother and me right away. The news hit me very hard. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without Daddy.
When we woke up on Christmas morning, we were all happy with our gifts, so we went outside to play. As we were playing, I looked up and thought I saw my daddy in the distance. I ran inside to tell Mother. She did not believe me and told me not to make up stories. She just repeated he would have been home if he could, but it just wasn’t possible.
But I was sure it was Daddy! I turned to go back outside when I heard familiar footsteps. I ran down the stairs. Daddy was home!
As I rushed into his outstretched arms, Daddy explained that he had tried everything to get home for Christmas, but without success. At the last minute, a group of the workers had decided to drive. But the nearest guy lived miles away. So Daddy started walking on Christmas Eve until he arrived home. He had walked
