The experienced backpacker has a natural feeling for such things, and our eyes were drawn to a small blue circle on the map. We could not see it from where we were, but we followed our judgement and went down steeply until it came into view.
We were right. It was a calm pool, with flat grass beside it. Gently taking our packs off, we made the first of many cups of tea before putting up our tent. Later that evening, over another cup of tea and after a good meal, we sat outside the tent watching the sun set over a sea dotted with islands, towards one of which a ferry was slowly moving. It is not always so perfect, of course. On another trip, with a different companion, a thoroughly wet day had ended at a lonely farm. Depressed at the thought of camping, we had knocked and asked if we could use a barn as a shelter.
Backpacking could be defined us the art of comfortable, self-sufficient travel on foot. Everything you need is in the pack on your back, and you become emotionally as well as physically attached to it. I once left my pack hidden in some rocks while I made a long trip to a peak I particularly wanted to climb. I was away for nearly three hours and ended up running the last stretch in fear that my precious pack would not be there. It was, of course.
The speed at which the backpacker travels makes this the perfect way to see any country. You experience the landscape as a slow unfolding scene, almost in the way it was made；and you find time to stop and talk to people you meet. I’ve learned much local history from simply chatting to people I met while walking through an area. At the end of a trip, whether three days or three weeks, there’s a feeling of achievement, of having got somewhere under your own power.

【推荐2】Gettysburg National Military Park was established in 1895, 32 years after the deadly battle. Gettysburg is the most-visited of the Civil War battlefields.
Many visitors start their visit at the Gettysburg Museum of the Civil War. The museum has the world’s largest collection of Civil War objects. The museum has more than 1 million items, from soldiers’ private notebooks and uniforms to original maps of the battlefield. The museum also houses the Gettysburg cyclorama (风景画幕) painting, showing the final attack in the Battle of Gettysburg: Pickett’s Charge. George Pickett was a Confederate general. On July 3, 1863, he led a charge against stronger Union forces. It was a disaster for the Confederate soldiers.
French artist Paul Phillippoteaux and a team of 20 artists created the painting in the 1880s. Phillippoteaux and his team visited the battlefield. It took more than one year for the huge painting to be complete. The cyclorama is 114 metres long and almost 13 metres tall. It has long been one of the most popular parts of the Gettysburg experience. But by the 1990s, the painting was in poor condition. Experts warned that if the cyclorama was not repaired, the painting could be lost.
A restoration project began in 2003. The painting was cleaned and separated into its 14 parts, and later moved into the new centre. There, the original canvas (帆布) was sewn onto new cloth made in China. Park service officials say China was one of the few countries able to produce cloth in the sizes needed. Then each part was hung and sewn together.
A team of cyclorama experts from Poland worked on the project in Gettysburg. The repair work of the Gettysburg Cyclorama marked one of the largest art conservation effort ever in North America.
After the museum, tourists can visit the Soldiers’ National Cemetery, where many of the Union soldiers who died during the Battle of Gettysburg are buried. The cemetery was dedicated on November 19, 1863, the same day President Lincoln gave his “Gettysburg Address”. Historians agree that Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address defined Americans as a people who believed in freedom, democracy and equality.

【推荐1】Amsterdam’s Blossoming Bikes Pop Up
Brightly coloured bikes decorated in flowers, butterflies and clocks have been popping up all over Amsterdam for years.
Known fondly as the Flower Bike Man, Warren’s bike-decorating campaign began when his wife couldn’t find her bike at Amsterdam Central. Warren’s wife, Michelle, often struggled to remember details like where she parked her bike. To help her out, Warren decorated her bike in bright flowers.
Warren creates the bikes using money out of his own pocket, and uses old, abandoned bikes that he collects. Bringing these forgotten wrecks back to life is beautiful in so many ways. In a country where people love bikes so much, it’s no wonder that Warren has become a treasure in Amsterdam. People love Warren’s bicycles so much that they insist on paying for his creations.

【推荐2】China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found it is not true. There are millions of cars. However，people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors－silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.
It’ s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’ t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather came with my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的)．To be safe，I stayed with a pack of bikers while cars on the streets came running fast out of nowhere at times. I didn’ t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was pleasant. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

【推荐3】The hand-made bamboo trains that have delighted tourists for nearly two decades are disappearing as Cambodia restores railways for modern trains. Bamboo trains were invented in the1980s by railway workers in Battambang, about 290 km northwest of the capital, Phnom Penh.Later, local people used them to transport goods and travel.
Local people began to use bamboo trains to carry tourists to see beautiful scenery along the railroad in 1999. Since then, the bamboo trains have become popular with foreign tourists. A Canadian tourist said, "I really enjoyed it. You get to see the rice fields and everyday life. It's a very great experience."
Bamboo trains provide a thrilling 7-km ride for $ 5. It can carry 6 passengers. The trains can be gathered together or demolished in only a few minutes.
A German visitor said he'd imagined it was like a real train but discovered it wasn't. "It's different from what I thought of , " he said. "I don't think it is just like a small platform, and you go like on a roller coaster.Very interesting. I like it. I think it's also a good way to transport heavy things from one place to another."
The modern railways will be completed soon. Bamboo train drivers were ordered to stop but they ignored the ban because they couldn't do other work. "I'm really concerned about when this railroad is closed because I'm old and don't know what to do," a driver said."I don't support the ban. It will affect our daily incomes." He predicts tourism will decline without the bamboo trains.

If you are looking for an affordable location that’s only a couple of hours plane ride away then Krakow could be the place for you. This city, located in the southern part of Poland, offers countless opportunities for travellers.
The city center
When it comes to Krakow, the first thing appeared in mind will be the Main Square and the building Cloth Hall. Main Square is filled with many ancient churches and charming townhouses and crowned by Cloth Hall, which has been playing an important role in international trade for over the years. Besides historical value, Main Square is the most willingly chosen place to stop journeys around Krakow.
In Cloth Hall, you can find lots of handmade Polish products. On the ground floor are restaurants that serve a wide range of food, not only local ones. Maybe these are not the best places to eat dinner. However, you can taste a local beer or wine while admiring the charming Krakow centre.
Nightlife
Speaking about Krakow, we cannot forget nightlife here. Take a night walk through streets with a view of the city on one side and calmly flowing water of Vistula River on the other. To make up your impression, you can have a drink in one of the restaurants in large boats on the river. For beautiful view admirers, in the nearby amusement park you can watch Krakow from the Ferris wheel. Even late in the evening!
Traffic
You can take a bus to Katowice and then train or even bus to Krakow Main Station. You can try to take a taxi; nevertheless, it may be costly. Or, to reach Krakow you need not even two hours long flight. These advantages make Krakow top direction for a weekend break.

【推荐1】Morris, a well-known English violinist, had been exhausted from a day of recording at Abbey Road Studios when he exited the Southeastern Railway from London late last month. He was so tired that he didn’t even realize that he had left his beloved violin on the train until the following morning.
The violin is one of the few surviving instruments made by Roman craftsman David Tecchler in 1709. Not only is the violin worth $320,000, but Morris has also been playing the instrument for 15 years.
Feeling panic, Morris contacted the British Transport Police to see if it had been returned; unfortunately, officers checked the footage (录像) and saw that the violin had been picked up by another train passenger. Morris then created social media accounts to beg for the return of his instrument. The footage was shown in the news, and the person responsible for taking the violin was treated as a suspect.
Several days later, Morris received a phone call from someone who recognized the man on the train. Morris was then put in contact with the man who took the violin—and he had apparently been very eager to return the instrument. After promising the man that he wouldn’t be arrested, Morris met him in a grocery store parking lot so he could reunite with his beloved instrument.
The man apologized sincerely, saying he wanted to hand it to Morris in person. Morris found the instrument and the contents of its case were still in perfect condition. To his surprise, it was even still intune (音调准确). Morris was excited and deeply grateful for its return.
“I’m still getting over the shock of its coming back,” Morris admitted in an interview afterwards. Then he played a breathtaking piece of music Amazing Grace on his 310-year-old violin in front of the reporters.
1. What can we learn about the lost violin?| A．It’s valuable and important. | B．It’s a gift from David Tecchler. |

【推荐2】At the time of writing this, it's been eight days since I moved into my dorm room at Montclair State University. Commuting (通勤) or going online completely is not an option for me. I can't drive a car. And I am studying journalism, which is difficult to practice with online-only classes.
Few people are on campus. The school is doing phased move-ins. For the safety of students and staff,you have to fill out charts and forms telling the school exactly where you go and when you will move in.
Housing was not a big concern because the on-campus population has been halved. I moved in at the earliest time I could: Aug. 10. During that time, the only people I saw were joggers wheezing up the many hills around my school. To get my double room, I had to fill out an abundance of paperwork. I agreed that in the event that I get COVID-19, I'll move to a single room completely lacking in human contact, besides food delivery and online classes.
And then there was the food situation. It's unknown whether dining options will be open in time for our classes next week, and if they are, how they will be handled. The tables I spent many hours sitting at with friends have all but disappeared. There are plenty of floor signs at the canteen for all students to follow. Instead of sitting down to eat, it was grab-and-go. Pick whatever you want, and an employee will pack it for you in a box and a plastic bag.
But here on campus, it's the calm before the storm. Somehow, society hasn't collapsed. Cats and dogs are not raining from the sky. Pigs aren't flying. Right now, it's like a nature reserve. I've seen more birds, deer and squirrels than humans here.
My bizarre (怪异的) college situation leaves me with sleepless nights. Much like this whole pandemic (疫情),everything is just one day at a time.

【推荐3】Letters as a way of communication have long given way to phone calls and WeChat messages.
But a TV show, Letters Alive, is helping bring this old way to keep in touch back into the present.
Letters Alive took its idea from a UK program with a similar name, Letters Live, which was first shown in 2013. Both shows feature famous actors and actresses, but there is no gossip , no eye-catching visual effects or any regular showbiz (演艺圈) activities. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.
But these are not just any letters. They are selected from a wide time span and a diverse range of subjects. There is, for example, a passionate letter that famous painter Huang Yongyu wrote to playwright Cao Yu 30 years ago to criticize his lack of creativity. There is also a heartfelt note from Spring and Autumn Period written by two ordinary young soldiers to their elder brother to report their lives in the war zone.
Every letter is like a small piece of history. By hearing them being read, it’s as if we are being sent back in time to experience a moment that we would otherwise never have had the chance to.
“Letters Live makes us pause and imagine the lives behind the letters,” UK actor Benedict Cumberbatch, one of the readers on the UK show, told The Guardian. “It allows people from all ages and all walks of life to experience a moment of time in someone else’s life for a brief moment.”
Compared to published texts, letters also come with a personal touch.
One example from Letters Live was a note of thanks from the mother of a dying child to JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. It read: “Mrs Rowling, Cancer threatened to take everything from my daughter, and your books turned out to be the castle we so desperately needed to hide in.”
According to Guan Zhengwen, the director of Letters Alive, it is this kind of humanity behind every letter that strikes a chord (引发共鸣) with the audience. It is also what made the show a big hit in China ever since its first episode aired on Dec 5.
“It’s a thing of the past that entertainment shows establish themselves only with pretty faces,” Guan told Sohu News. “Showbiz is starting to switch to a focus on wisdom and intelligence.
