【推荐1】For Stevens Point locals in the US, the city is flooded with delicious fried fish. Here are four top choices for the community to have a try.
Hilltop Pub&Grill
Hilltop Pub&Grill first opened in the 1980s and took the Stevens Point community by storm with its delicious food and unique decoration style. Its fried fish are beloved due to the use of “high-quality North Atlantic fish, with a light beer batter (面糊)”.
The Final Score Bar&Grill
The Final Score Bar&Grill aimed to become a local hot spot in 2001 when Jim Billings, the owner, took charge of the business. Billings feels that their five batter choices set them apart from their neighboring bars. Besides, various wines are available.
Point After Pub&Grill
Point After Pub&Grill started serving delicious food and cold beers in a welcoming environment in 2009. But its history runs much longer. “Before it was Point After Pub&Grill, it had been Northside Bar for 30 plus years,” explained Molski, the owner. Molski feels that the pub’s four special batter choices and other fish specials are what help make it an area landmark.
Two Harps Pub
This Irish pub opened its doors to the public in 2017 and has been drawing fans and locals ever since. “I had done my career for a long time and was kind of bored with it,” said Nick Moore, the owner. “And this opportunity fell into my lap, so I went with it.

【推荐1】Long Beach, a 28-mile stretch of beach, lies in southwestern Washington, and it is generally called Long Beach Peninsula (半岛). Communities there take you back to old days of a simple and slow-paced life style. Here, visitors can relax and enjoy the good of total rest.
Bird Watching
There are different kinds of birds in Long Beach. It is best if you observe them from a distance and do not try to frighten them. The Southwest Loop Trail Map can be gotten through the Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Bureau Office by calling 1-800-451-2542.
Horses
A popular activity in Long Beach is horseback riding. Two businesses in the city of Long Beach offer guided horseback tours along the beach: Back Country Wilderness Outfitters and Skipper’s Equestrian Center. You may also bring your own horse. Among the adventures offered with horses is a wagon (四轮马车) ride along the beach, a carriage ride through Sea view or Long Beach, a back country (偏远乡村) packing trip, or a sunset ride by horseback on the beach.
Camping
RV (娱乐车) and tent camping aren’t allowed on the beach, but there are private camp­grounds and RV parks in the area, as well as Cape Disappointment State Park. Camp fires are allowed within 100 feet of the beach, but must be away from the dry grass.
Swimming and Other Activities
Swimming is allowed, but you must be careful. The waters are very cold and dangerous. Surfing is advised only for experienced surfers. Beach driving is allowed at certain spots on the beach.

【推荐3】As one of the most adventurous places to visit in South America, Patagonia deserves some serious travel time. These are my top recommendations for backpacking in Patagonia:
●Patagonia is probably the safest part of South America. I’ve hitchhiked in Chile without problems and would thoroughly recommend this as a form of transport. (Get tips on hitchhiking in South America here.)
●Car hire is also an interesting and rewarding way of seeing Patagonia, although booking in advance during high season is again recommended. I recommend using Rental Cars and suggest you check out this complete guide to planning a Patagonia road trip for essential tips and tricks.
●The shoulder seasons, October — November and March — April, are far quieter and cheaper for backpacking in Patagonia. Accommodation and agencies in some towns are sometimes not running in October or April though.
●Bus schedules vary depending on the season and change year-to-year. Always visit the bus station when you get to a new place to confirm timings and buy tickets for the next leg of your journey. It’s also important to plan additional days into your Patagonia backpacking trip in case you can’t travel on the day you had initially intended. For more information about this subject, check out this detailed guide about getting to Patagonia.
●Self-catering is by far the best way of keeping costs down on these Patagonia backpacking trips. Where possible, I’ve highlighted the best places to stock up on food. I’ve also written in more detail about visiting Patagonia on a budget.
●However, crossing the border between Argentina and Chile, you cannot take fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese or meat. It will be confiscated and if you don’t own up to it (particularly when heading into Chile), you may be fined.
1. Which means of transportation is strongly recommended to Patagonia?| A．Taking a taxi. | B．Going hitchhiking. |
| C．Going hiking on foot. | D．Taking a bus. |
| A．You’d better hire the local car ahead of time. |
| B．Bus schedule in all bus stations are always fixed. |
| C．It’s the best season in October — November and March — April. |
| D．You’d better take self-catering to save cost when crossing Chile. |

【推荐1】Now it’s fall, when Europe really comes into its own as the leaves and visitor numbers start to drop. If you’re ready for a different take on Europe this fall, we’ve got ideas.
Alentejo, Portugal
Head to the Alentejo region, Portugal’s rural heartland. Here, you can see Roman remains in its UNESCO-protected capital évora, road trip through peaceful countryside planted with trees and olive groves, and enjoy the wild coast. The conserved Atlantic coastline offers miles of unspoiled beaches and is popular for surfing, with the best waves from autumn to spring.
Val Gardena, Dolomites, Italy
During fall in the Dolomite mountains of Northern Italy, the changing leaves compete with the enrosadira (朝霞) — as the setting sun hits the mountains at just the right angle, causing them to glow pink. It’s an all-out feast for the senses in Val Gardena, whether you’re hiking mountain trails within the UNESCO World Heritage landscapes of Puez-Odle National Park, or tasting the local Ladin cuisine during a three-week food festival.
Thessaloniki, Greece
Greece’s second city sits on the Thermaic Gulf, opening onto the Aegean Sea. Famed for its vast culinary offerings, it’s also mostly bypassed by tourists from the US. During October and November, venture out of the city to take in the changing leaves along the hiking trails near Mount Olympus, 90 minutes southwest of Thessaloniki.
Baden-Baden, Germany
Baden-Baden actually has more appeal in fall, with spectacular views of the surrounding Rhine Valley and Black Forest as the leaves start to glow with color. Autumn’s temperatures are ideal for soaking your bones after a hike in Baden-Baden’s many hot springs like the ones at Caracalla Spa, which first opened in 1877. You can also stop into a winery to sample the wares, as well as local specialties like onion tart.
1. What do Alentejo and Val Gardena share?| A．They are both well-known for hot springs. |
| B．They both feature UNESCO-protected sites. |
| C．They are both situated in the heart of the country. |
| D．They both offer breathtaking mountain landscapes. |
| A．Exploring Roman remains. | B．Surfing on unspoiled beaches. |
| C．Sampling local wine and food. | D．Hiking in the Dolomite mountains. |
| A．A travel magazine. | B．A geography textbook. |
| C．A recipe book. | D．A science journal. |
【推荐2】College visits are important. Before you commit years of your life and money to a school, be sure you’re choosing a place that is a good match for your personality and interests. You can’t get the “feel” of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus. Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit.
Explore on Your Own
Of course you should take the official campus tour, but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own. The trained tour guides will show you a school’s selling points. But the oldest and prettiest buildings don’t give you the entire picture of a college. Try to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus.
Read the Bullet in Boards
When you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence halls, take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards. They provide an easy way to see what’s happening on campus. The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tell you what’s going on outside the classrooms.
Eat in the Dining Hall
You can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall. Try to sit with students if you can. Do the students seem happy or stressed? Also, is the food good? Are there enough healthy options? Many admission offices will give prospective students coupons (优惠券) for free meals in the dining halls.
Visit a Class in Your Major
If you know what you want to study, a class visit makes a lot of sense. You’ll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they arc in classroom discussion. Try to stay after class for a few minutes and chat with the students to get their impressions of their professors and major. Be sure to call in advance to schedule a classroom visit-most colleges don’t allow visitors to drop in at class unannounced.
Talk to Lots of Students
Your campus tour guide has been trained to market the school. Try to talk to students who aren’t getting paid to impress you. These important conversations can often provide you with information about college life that isn’t part of the admission script. Few university officials will tell you if their students spend all weekend drinking or studying, but a group of random students might.
1. What is the best way to know about a college in an official campus tour?| A．To walk around the campus by yourself. |
| B．To hire a trained tour guide. |
| C．To visit the oldest and prettiest buildings. |
| D．To take pictures of the campus. |
| A．decide the major you want to study |

| C．get free coupons from the admission offices |
| D．find out the options of healthy food |
| A．drop in at a class in your major | B．ask the professor for permission |
