【推荐1】Every year, the biggest and the best garden designers get together to create the Chelsea Flower Show, providing inspiration, trendsetting ideas and a glimpse of how our gardens might look next year.
On Trend: Green garden
Sustainable gardens have become a big trend in our towns and cities. Joe Swift inspired gardeners with his gold-winning design for the Homebase Teenage Cancer Trust that featured drought-buster (治理) architectural planting.
It could cope with even the driest conditions typically found in places where water is precious. His large pools of water had a cooling effect on people and plants.
On Trend: Space-saving Herbs
The Brewin Dolphin garden designed by Cleve West and Steve Swatton followed the Arts and Craft tradition, showing the beautiful strong lines of neatly beech (山毛榉) among its soft herbs planting. It proved to be a style that has never gone out of fashion.
You don’t need a large garden to have a piece of topiary (树木造型). These evergreens, which can be boxed or grown in pots, are easy to cut into shapes, such as balls, cubes and pyramids.
On Trend: Rhododendrons (杜鹃花) Woodland
Chris Beardshaw’s gold-winning design was packed with rhododendrons woodland bushes. It paid tribute (致敬) to Furzey Gardens in Hampshire, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
Rhododendrons might not be the trendiest choice but they deserve a comeback.
On Trend: Drought Buster
The Herbert Smith garden for WaterAid was inspired by the work of the charity and the transforming power of clean water.
Using water wisely is today’s issue, so invest in water butts (积水桶) to collect rainwater and gather waste water from baths, sinks and washing machines.
1. Who can inspire those having a garden with limited space?| A．Joe Swift. | B．Cleve West and Steve Swatton. | C．Chris Beardshaw. | D．Herbert Smith. |

When a holiday is just around the comer, you may be planning a trip abroad. But to enjoy a worry-free adventure abroad, you also should pay attention to the following common-sense safety tips for travelling abroad.
Another reason to take only carry-on carriage---besides avoiding baggage fees---is that the less you have to carry around, the more quickly you can move, if necessary. You should always have a free hand. Besides, you won’t be exhausted from dragging all those bags around.
Lock it up.
Leave your hotel with only what you need and lock up the rest. Take a lock for your luggage just in case your hotel doesn’t offer a safe.
Think and Plan.
Always keep in mind that, when you travel abroad, you are in a place you don’t know well and you can always be a target. Trust your senses.
| A．Travel light. |
| B．Pay by credit card. |
| C．Imagine having your bag stolen off a restaurant table. |
| D．You should also make it a habit to take your watch with you. |
| E．Plus, dragging lots of luggage is a dead giving away that you aren’t a local resident. |
| F．You should call ahead to be sure, especially if your luggage is made of cloth material. |
| G．You are smart and mature, so if something or some situation doesn’t feel safe, it probably isn’t. |

【推荐3】The world’s first luxury space hotel, Aurora Station, was announced Thursday at the Space 2. 0 Summit in San Jose, California. Developed by US-based space technology start-up Orion Span, the space station will host six people at a time, including two crew members, for 12-day trips of space travel. It plans to welcome its first guests in 2022.
“Our goal is to make space accessible to all,” Frank Bunger, CEO and founder of Orion Span, said in a statement. “Upon launch, Aurora Station goes into service immediately, bringing travelers into space quickly and at a lower price point than ever seen before.”
While a $10 million trip is outside the budget of most people’s two-week vacations, Orion Span claims to offer an authentic astronaut experience. “It has taken what was historically a 24-month training to prepare travelers to visit a space station and streamlined (精简) it to three months, at a fraction (小部分) of the cost,” says Bunger. During their 12-day adventure, the super-rich travelers will fly at a height of 200 miles above the Earth’s surface in Low Earth Orbit, where they will witness incredible views of the blue planet. The hotel will orbit Earth every 90 minutes, which means guests will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours.
Activities on board include taking part in research experiments such as growing food while in orbit, which guests can take home for a super-smug souvenir, and soaring over their hometown. Guests can have-live-video chats with their less-fortunate loved ones back home via high-speed wireless Internet access and, upon returning to Earth will be greeted with a specially arranged hero’s welcome. While enjoying the thrills of zero gravity, the travelers will be able to float freely through the hotel, taking in views of the northern and southern aurora from the station’s windows.
Deposits are already being accepted for future stays on the space hotel.

【推荐3】If a list was to be made about places that most people would like to visit before their death, Venice would beat the very top of the list. This ancient city with its rich history not only gives you a beautiful holiday destination, but true taste of Italian Cuisine. Here is a list of some of the best restaurants in Venice.
Quadri
Some travel advisers would term Quadri as the only fine dining restaurant located in Piazza San Marco. This might have contributed to it winning the Michelin Star Award in 2012. It offers you a variety of dishes but specializes most on fish and desserts. To top it, all the view from this restaurant is breathtaking.
Alle Testiere
With a sitting space of only 22 people at a time, this is the perfect restaurant for you if you wish to enjoy your meal away from the crowd. With a price range of less than $100 per person, you’ll be able to enjoy Chef Bruno’s delicacy. What makes this restaurant so special is that the Chef prepares his meals with what is fresh in the market that day.
Antico Martini
A traveler magazine ranks it as one of the top dining restaurants to visit in Venice. Established in 1720, its 300 years of history is enough to tempt any tourist. However, its food does not disappoint and its fine dining rooms conceal (掩盖) their age with a modern look. The menu offers visitor different types of fresh fish or you can choose the traditional Venetian cuisine meals accompanied by seasonal vegetables.
Impronta Cafe
If you prefer a modern dinning setting, then this should be your restaurant of choice. In this restaurant, you can get all your favorite food that you enjoy at home while still enjoying the beauty of Venice. Their sandwiches are very good and their salad bar is unmatched by any other restaurant in Venice.
