【推荐1】My friend and I went traveling in Tasmania, Australia last December. We settled in our Airbnb accommodation, a cozy apartment, not long after we arrived in Hobart, the capital city.

After briefing us on the kitchen's facilities and the whereabouts of the bedroom and bathroom, our hostess Geraldine resumed her ironing work, which seemed to have been interrupted by our arrival.

She was ironing what looked like security guard uniforms, and we soon found out that she worked in a local prison. And when she detected the curiosity in our tones, she offered a tour at the prison in her SUV. My friend and I exchanged a “this is incredible” look and said “yes” immediately.

As we drove, she told us about the buildings that we were passing, the local market and how to get to MONA, Tasmania's well-known contemporary art gallery.

And of course we got to hear some background information about the prison. According to our hostess, it currently holds Martin Bryant, a notorious criminal who cheated 35 people out of their property. We could see the high level of security from the layers upon layers of wires surrounding the gray structure inside.

Getting to know a city in such a local way is something I would never be able to do by talking to a hotel receptionist, and this is what I like best about the apartment-sharing experience, not to mention the fact that it's usually cheaper than hotel rooms.

But I'm fully aware of the risks of Airbnb, which is why I did my homework before booking online—I checked the reviews of the accommodation to avoid possible safety problems.

That said, it is the mutual trust between a host and a guest that fascinates me—the interesting feeling of building a bond with a total stranger.

1. Why did the hostess drive us to the prison?
A.She planned to send the uniform to the prison.
B.She found our curiosity about the prison.
C.She wanted to show off her SUV.
D.She needed to offer a tour for us.
2. Which of the following can best explain the word “notorious” in Paragraph 5?
A.Unfamiliar to everyone.B.Particularly disappointing.
C.Well known for being bad.D.Extremely generous to others.
3. Compared with hotels, what is the writer's favorite of the Airbnb accommodation?
A.It is cheaper in most cases.
B.It supplies a better living condition.
C.It offers a much safer accommodation.
D.It provides a chance to know local culture.
4. What does the author think of finding accommodation on Airbnb?
A.Disapproving.B.Supportive.C.Neutral.D.Doubtful.

【推荐2】Temples have existed for thousands of years. They are the proof of cultures and civilization that existed many years ago. With their excellent architecture and structure they fascinate visitors from around the world.


Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven is a Taoist temple in Beijing, the capital of China. The temple was constructed in the 14th century by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty as his personal temple, where he would pray for good harvest and to make up for the sins of his people. The temple's architecture is quite interesting: Everything in the temple, which represents heaven, is circular whereas the ground levels, which represent the earth, are square. It symbolizes the relationship between the earth and heaven, the human world and God's world, which stands at the heart of Chinese cosmogony.


Wat Rong Khun “White Temple”

Immediately upon entering the grounds of Chiang Rai's ''White Temple'' in Thailand, you’ll realize this contemporary, unconventional temple stands out, even in a country crowded with places of worship. The White Temple is incredibly different and unique in its architecture, art and design. In fact, it's designed in a very modern way, but still sticking to and respecting the conventional Buddhist principles. This temple is all white with many artistic decorations and statues full of mirrors that create nice silvery/glittering reflections.


Kinkaku-ji

Kyoto is filled with beautiful shrines and temples, but none can be compared to the beauty of Kinkaku-ji. This Buddhist temple has acquired a lot of fame recently and has become one of the most visited places in Japan. Whether you visit during the fall when there are red momiji leaves contrasting the gold, in winter when the gold is topped with pure white snow, in spring with the cherry blossoms, or in summer allowing you to see the beautiful temple's golden reflection—there is never a bad time to visit this beautiful temple.


Golden Temple

The Golden Temple in Punjab, India is the most sacred shrine of Sikhism. For the Sikhs, the Golden Temple symbolizes endless freedom and spiritual independence. The site of the temple began with a small lake that was so peaceful that even Buddha came there to meditate (冥想). Thousands of years later, Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism also lived and meditated by the lake. The temple itself is decorated with marble sculptures, gilded in gold and covered in precious stones.
