Dorney Park lies about an hour outside of Philadelphia. The admission price is $39.99. And the Starlight Admission is $27.99, which is good for visits between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. during the summer months when the park is open late, or from 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in winter when the park closes earlier.
Knotts Berry Farm, Buena Park
Home to some of the country’s craziest rides, Knotts Berry Farm also has calmer, more family-friendly rides. People ages 12-61 get in for $39.99 when tickets are bought online, while children ages 3-11 and adults over 62 pay $26.99.
Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Santa Cruz
Sitting on the warm beaches of Santa Cruz—about 90 minutes south of San Francisco—the Boardwalk is home to big roller coasters(过山车), mini-golf, enough food and games to keep people of all ages busy. The best part? An all-day unlimited ride wristband is only $31.95.

【推荐1】According to Dr. William Conway, director of the New York Zoo and chairman of the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums, modern zoos can do a great deal to serve as a backup strategy to support the primary conservation goal of safe-guarding species in their wild habitats. No less and no more.
Zoos are severely limited in terms of sheer space, let alone animal care capacity. All the animal space in the world's zoos would comfortably fit inside the Inner London Circular. They now contain rather more than half a million individual mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. During the past few years they have bred about 9 percent of all 8,700 bird species, and 19 percent of all 4,500 mammal species.
Not all of these are vet threatened or rare creatures; this is the case for only 12 percent of the birds and 48 percent of the mammals. But the number of endangered forms is expanding rapidly.
It is an expensive business to care for threatened animals. To look after one Siberian tiger costs almost f2,000 a year, which means that to care for an expected total of 500 Siberian tigers in the world's zoos over a period of 20 years will cost almost £20 million.
Gorillas are even more costly: the 500 in zoos cost £2,850 each per year, making a total of £28 million over 20 years. Unless we can keep them alive in captivity, we shall probably witness, within the coming decades, the demise of around 100 large carnivore species, some 160 species of primates, and perhaps 215 herbivores other than primates, plus about 300 species from other mammalian orders, making a total of about 800 species.
1. According to Dr. William Conway, modern zoos serve as _____.A.research facilities to enrich our knowledge of wildlife |
B.an alternative way to protect some animal species |
C.places to raise public awareness of animal care |
D.habitats and breeding grounds for endangered species |
A.Death. | B.Failure. | C.Recovery. | D.Rescue. |

【推荐3】A cancer survivor has become the first woman to complete an exhausting “Sea to Summit” triathlon (三项全能运动) which saw her swim, cycle, and run over 330 miles in just five days. Andrea Mason was overjoyed when she crossed the finish line early Wednesday morning.
The race was set in the French Alps. Setting off at 6:15 am on Friday, 39-year-old Mason battled through severe pain, and hallucinations (幻觉), but she pushed on---managing to complete the race in an impressive four days, 23 hours, and 41 minutes. Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer and needed life-saving surgery. Following a successful operation, she is now hoping to raise awareness of women’s health. In the past year, Andrea set up her own charity, Lady Talk Matters, in order to normalize the conversation surrounding female health.
Andrea, from Blackpool in Lancashire, England, said, “I am so happy all went according to plan as there were so many things that could have gone wrong. I wanted to do it in five days, and I did, but it was very tough. I had some low moments, particularly when I couldn’t sleep in my limited rest periods, and when I couldn’t keep any food down as I was running. For sure I had some doubts along the way as I was exploring the unknown with such a huge run, particularly as large parts of it were in the dark. It was bigger than I imagined, the impact on my body was huge, but every time I felt like giving up, I thought about all the women out there in pain or who still hadn’t been diagnosed. That is why I put myself through this.”
Andrea had to swim 23 miles around Lake Annecy, cycle 205 miles with 30,000 feet of vertical climbing around Mont Blanc, and run 105 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical climbing around The Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc. You could say Andrea’s actually spent a lifetime training for an event like this. She completed her first three-mile race “powered by chocolate bars” when she was just four.

【推荐3】As the saying goes, "Without music, life would be a mistake." Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.
Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827)
Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions(作曲). The last 30 years of Beethoven's life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethoven's music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.
Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)
Bach, "the father of modern music", was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist(风琴手)in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court(宫廷)organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.
Frederic Chopin(1810-1849)
Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818.Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.
Franz Schubert(1797-1828)
Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors(前辈), Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.
