【推荐2】From the deserts of Southern California to the forests of Alaska, the U.S. possesses a diversity of nature. For most of her life, Joy Ryan never saw the scenery beyond her home state of Ohio. Then, when she was in her mid-eighties, her grandson Brad Ryan decided to take her on a journey to all of the U.S. National Parks, which took eight years to complete. At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa.
“When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America — deserts, mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,” Brad says. This idea sparked their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. However, once they were on the road, Brad realised that they could visit more parks that were nearby. Over the years, they managed to see all of the famous sights at Yosemite, the Redwoods, and so on. But Brad values the time spent with his grandmother just as much as the breathtaking places they were able to visit.
Despite Grandma Joy’s older age, she was able to hike mountains. Brad regards her love for life as the key to her good health. She is grateful for each new day and is always Excited for the next journey. Finally, their long journey across the U.S. came to an end with American Samoa. “It’s about 6,700 miles from Ohio, where we live,” Brad explains. “We can enjoy the beach and the beautiful tropical paradise. But as we’ve learned from the rangers that work there, American Samoa is an island community firmly rooted in family. And I think that there’s a bit of a poetic beauty to ending it there, too.”
“I am thankful every morning for giving me another day,” Grandma Joy shares. “And it is your choice whether you’re going to have a rainy day or a sunny day. So, smile at everybody, and let everybody know you’re having a whale of a time.” While her tour of the U.S. has come to a close, she and her grandson are not done traveling. Next up, they have their sights set on Kenya.
1. Why did Brad decide to travel across America with his grandma?| A．To celebrate Grandma Joy’s 93rd birthday. |
| B．To complete a task he promised Grandma Joy. |
| C．To enrich Grandma Joy’s travelling experiences. |
| D．To realise Grandma Joy’s dream of visiting parks. |
| A．Free and adventurous. | B．Tiring but educational. |
| C．Stressful but eye-opening. | D．Amazing and worthwhile. |
| A．The friendly locals. | B．The family bond. | C．The special culture. | D．The beautiful sights. |

【推荐3】Ah, Paris the incomparable ! Whether you've suddenly found yourself with travel brochures in your hand or you prefer to travel from your armchair, Paris is one of those cities with wide open arms. Where to begin? Well, follow me!
Louvre
Many people lose interest when you talk about museums, but you know where we are heading, don't you? This is one of the top 10. Wear comfortable shoes, prepare enough water, and know what you want to see. The Mona Lisa may not be your cup of tea, but we recommend at least Liberty Leading the People, The Raft of the Medusa, and so on.
Musée d’Orsaya
If you can do without art-although we doubt anyone can—we'd recommend that you walk inside this museum. The light inside is worth your attention. Once a train station, the Musée d’Orsay has been repurposed and is now a pleasing wonder with Postimpressionist paintings and more to suit most tastes.
The Seine River
All you have to do is decide which bank you prefer, left or right. Each has its unique pleasures. Home to cultural, fashion and artistic riches, the left bank is lined with cafés, which are a good place to meet your hero or heroine. But also consider the right bank, especially the Picasso Museum, an excellent place to hang around.
Giverny
Lying about 45 miles from Paris, this village is the hometown of the late artist Claude Monet. It is as if you've stepped into one of his paintings—a perfect blue-green bridge with water lilies (睡莲) fully open below and a warm peach-pink brick house. The whole scene is designed to please the eye.
