【推荐2】One day I was walking around in a national park when I saw a beautiful tarantula (狼蛛) crossing a path. I just stopped and decided to observe its walking.
Behind me there was a family going up the same way and they also noticed the tarantula. Without doubting it, a kid shouted, ''Quick, Dad, kill it. '' His brother also encouraged their dad to do that.
Then I stopped their dad. ''Wait. This is the last place the tarantula has to live in. Do you really want to kill it? ''
''Well, it's dangerous and we have kids here…''
''Why not stand still and let it cross safely? Then you can go and admire the rest of the park. ''
After some discussions I persuaded them to stand still and watch. Soon, the tarantula crossed and hid into the bushes.
Their dad thanked me and said, ''You're right. I was about to make a mistake. '' The children even said good bye to the tarantula and they learned something too.

【推荐1】Iceland has become one of the hottest places for adventure seekers and foodies alike as a result of its majestic lunar landscapes, heavenly food, and warm people. In the summer months, tourists pack into the island nation. But if you feel crowded, fall and spring are also good.
Kex Hostel
So where should you head? Reykjavik, the capital city, is home to many artists and young professionals from all over Europe. The Kex Hostel is a favorite. With its great food, large local beer selection and endless book and game offerings, Kex plays host to many local musicians and of course a truly unforgettable hamburger.
Snafellsnes Peninsula
If you have time for some outdoor exploration, the Snafellsnes Peninsula is a must. Driving along the coast, you suddenly feel as though you have been in a quiet world, where you hear nothing but the wind. The only livings are birds and sheep.
Hotel Budir
Hotel Budir offers great views, including some of the northern lights. The hotel, which used to be a farm house, will let you reconnect with nature or stay comfortable inside. Enjoy beautiful views of the landscape in the hotel’s reading room. Head to the rooftop to watch the stars.
Blue Lagoon
Another must-visit place is the Blue Lagoon, which National Geographic named a world wonder. Interestingly, the lagoon was formed following the building of the Svartsengi power factory in 1976. The sea water and silica mud (硅泥) will make your feel energetic. The best way to end the visit is to stop by Lava, a restaurant which is led by one of Iceland’s most famous cooks, Thrainn Freyr Vigfússon.

【推荐3】Tourism in Botswana’s Okavango Delta generates revenue that directly funds conservation. Here are reasons why it’s so worth visiting and why it’s meaningful to support the effort to conserve this world wonder.
It’s birdwatchers’ paradise.
Some 450 species of wetland birds have been recorded in the Delta. Despite the diversity of species here, overall bird numbers in the Delta seem to change, which is what led the National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project (NGOWP) to survey the river system that feeds it. The NGOWP discovered the threats to this system, including uncontrollable fire, commercial agriculture, and water diversion, which could impact bird numbers in the Delta.
You can spot big game.
Big cats walk through the Delta’s open plains, along with many of Africa’s other remarkable mammals. A local guide will be able to get you closer to predators like lions, leopards, and wild dogs. Viewing lions involves walking in single file as your guide spots and follows fresh paw prints. Okavango Eternal is working to create protected wildlife corridors along the rivers that feed the Delta so that animals can move safely and freely.
It’s a little break from the world.
In addition to the excitement of seeing incredible wildlife, there’s nothing quite like the feeling offered by the quiet isolation at the heart of the Okavango Delta. A low-impact tourism model means that footfall through the Delta is carefully managed, making for a unique, highly tailored trip. There’re also tented camps all the way.
It’s rich in cultural heritage.
The local communities are descended from early San settlers, and many ancient cultures, such as the Bayei, still employ supreme hunter-gatherer skills to track animals and find useful plants, adding depth to the bush experience. Yet there are still many tourism opportunities.
1. What is the NGOWP concerned about for the Delta?| A．The lack of funds. | B．The crowds of tourists. |
| C．The decrease in population. | D．The threats to the river system. |
| A．Wetland birds. | B．Wild wolves. | C．Camping spots. | D．Local cultures. |
| A．A news report. | B．A textbook. | C．A magazine. | D．An advertisement. |

【推荐2】PERU is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow, dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest.
In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the powerful ancient Inca Empire. The Inca emperor lived in the now-famous site Machu Picchu. Spain took control of Peru in the l6th century and ruled until 1821. It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.
TRAVEL PERU

A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest. From there, you’ll spend one day travelling by boat to your accommodation in the middle of the forest. You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest.
Machu Picchu Tour
This four - day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your destination, you will have a day to explore and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Incas’ dry stone method of building. Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones.
Cusco Tour
Spend four days enjoying the unique Spanish and local Indian culture high in the Andes at Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire from the l3th until the l6th century. Stay in a local hotel, visit the museums, admire the architecture, enjoy the excellent local food, and go shopping at the local markets.
Lake Titicaca Tour
Enjoy the beautiful countryside as you spend a day driving along the new highway connecting Cusco to Lake Titicaca. There, a boat will take you to stay with a local Uros family on an island for three days. Both the island and the Uros homes are made of water plants from the lake.
So come and experience what Peru has to offer: everything from the ancient Inca culture and centuries - old Spanish villages to deep rainforests, high mountains, and a beautiful coastline.
