【推荐1】Whoopie Whizzer
This thrilling ride that has you holding onto your seats in fear attracted more visitors than any other single attraction last year. The ride starts with a few gentle spins that gradually increase in speed, so that after thirty seconds you're moving round at 15 miles per hour! Suitable for anyone over 14 years of age, this ride is open throughout the season. It’s one you certainly don’t want to miss, so make sure you have a go early on in the day to avoid disappointment.
Spooksville
This is a haunted house with a difference－come and visit if you dare! A hired team of professional actors perform stunts and try to frighten you senseless, and be warned－they will! Still, you have to judge for yourselves so bring all the family along to this attraction. Enter alone at your own risk!
Aladdins Magic Maze
Our Magic Maze is Europe's biggest, as you will realize as soon as you try to find your way out! The walls of our corridors are covered with mirrors so that when you start walking through, it can be pretty confusing－we're still waiting for someone to beat the record exit time of twenty－two minutes. If you think you can do it, come along and try.
Pirate Ship
This huge pirate ship has been specially designed just for kids－it's made of inflatable plastic so they can't hurt themselves! During our thirty-minute sessions they can climb up and down in the ship and enjoy themselves. Around the ship is the Slippery Scales swimming pool which they can swim around in－its new wave-machine will make them believe they're really at sea! Teams of trained staff always keep an eye on their activities so parents can relax and enjoy themselves too!

【推荐3】Most travelers face the language difficulty in Italy nowadays.
There's no such thing as "Italian food".
In Italy each area has its own personality,its own dialect,and its own food.
Most Italians pay for things on a day-to-day basis with cash from their morning coffee to dinner.Those of you who have grown used to paying for milk and bread at the grocery store with a card find it very difficult to travel.
The waiter isn't being rude when he leaves you alone to eat.
In Italy,after your meal is served,you may not see the waiter at your table again until it's time to clear your plates.This is not the waiter being rude.
An empty restaurant doesn't mean the place is bad.
Many times I've gone into restaurants in Italy at what I thought was dinner time only to find the place nearly empty.

| B．Trains are always late in Italy. |

【推荐2】Flying the friendly skies has been, well, not quite as friendly these days. If you’re looking not just for the best prices, most convenient times and most direct routes, but also for an airline that will treat you right, you’ll want to check these latest rankings.
We got our hands on the 2017 Airline Satisfaction Study, released this month, from J.D.Power North America, a global research firm. Here’s what they discovered about the best airlines．
Alaska Airlines take home the top honor for the 10th time. Flying anywhere and Alaska Airlines is an option? Jump on that deal! Why? For the past decade, they’ve ranked the highest among traditional carriers, with the score of 765 on a 1, 000-- point scale. Delta took home the silver but only with a seven-- point gap from its competitor Alaska Airlines. American Airlines came in for the bronze.
For budget airlines, Southwest is second to none. Since the research was divided into parts, Southwest got an honor of its own in the “low﹣cost carrier” part, defeating Jet Blue Airways by four points. This small margin (差额) is significant, since Southwest officially ends Jet Blue Airways’ winning this category constantly for 11 years.
The full list of the top 10 airlines, either in traditional carriers or the budget ones are below:
| Best traditional airlines: • Alaska Airlines • Delta Airlines • American Airlines • United Airlines • Air Canada | Best low-cost airlines: •Southwest Airlines • JetBlue Airways • United Airlines • WestJet • Frontier Airlines |
1. What is the score of Delta Airlines in the 2017 Airline Satisfaction Study?
