文章大意:本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了雪松溪树屋,包括其地理位置、由来、风景等。

【推荐3】Cedar Creek Treehouse

Cedar Creek Treehouse is very high. About 15m above ground, it is wrapped around the trunk of an enormous 200-year-old red cedar tree. The treehouse is the brainchild of Bill Compher, who has created this special building at the border between Mount Rainier National Park and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington.

Access is along a 25m-long suspension bridge, then up a five-story stairway whose fourth floor is a glass observation area, where you can swing in a hammock (吊床) and enjoy the mountain views. On the fifth floor, the treehouse is divided into two levels: from the entrance there’s a surprisingly spacious living room, kitchen, bathroom and sunroom, while upstairs there are two double beds and skylights so you can take in the night sky.

But if this isn’t enough of a bird’s-eye-view, you can climb up a separate 30m stairway, walk across another suspension bridge to a glass observatory and admire the 360-degree views of the forest. But this is not for everyone. “Climbing an 85-foot staircase, walking a 45-foot-long suspension bridge to a treehouse observatory 100 feet in the sky... that takes a special kind of person.” wrote Compher on his website.

Need to know: Kids under 7 are not allowed inside the treehouse. Rates are $250 for two people per night, and $25 for each additional guest.

1. What can a guest do on the fifth floor?
A.Cook some food.B.Rest in a hammock.
C.Stay in a glass observatory.D.Walk on a suspension bridge.
2. How much is it for a couple with their 9-year-old twins to stay overnight at Cedar Creek?
A.$275.B.$300.C.$500.D.$550.
3. This passage is probably a(n) ________.
A.advertisementB.guidebookC.instructionD.diary
