【推荐2】I used to live in South Africa and recently went back to Botswana to visit the Central Kalahari Game Reserve with my friend Oscar. There is nothing quite like the vast African wilderness.
Our jeep broke down suddenly along the too-hot-to-touch sand. With such an engine, it was tough work. The dry heat was fierce and the only break came from using our precious water for brief bucket shower.
With no supplies available within the park—it was a sort of no man’s land with the occasional cow—it’s necessary to bring all your fuel, food and water with you.
We camped in a small open space of the bush. At the height of the dry season, shade was in very little supply, so we angled ourselves near a lonely leafless tree. As the sun was setting, we drove towards the watering hole a few miles away, and were reminded just why we’d chosen to spend weeks experiencing this difficult, unpleasant, and painful exercise on ourselves. Realizing our arrival, a lone lion stopped his drinking. He yawned (打哈欠), then carried on drinking.
That night, sleeping on the roof of the jeep, we felt his roar (吼叫) as much as we heard it. All movements and activities stopped, but when bright satellites flashed across the blackness, the vast African skies offered the only sign that the outside world hadn’t come to a standstill.
In the morning we saw that the lion had walked on the road overnight, his paw prints pressed into yesterday’s tyre tracks. We set off for another morning inching through the sand: another day of shifting landscapes and raw (原始的), wild beauty; another night lit by fireflies and shooting stars.
1. What can we learn from the passage?| A．The author and his friend toured the Reserve without difficulty. |

【推荐3】China is a country well worth visiting. The following tips may make your trip to China pleasant and satisfactory.
Which cities are preferable for tourists to visit on their first trip to China?
What you see depends on how long you can stay in China. Generally speaking, tourists should first visit cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Xi’an.
Beijing is a political and cultural centre that offers great scenic attractions like the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. Besides, foods such as Beijing roast duck and instant-boiled mutton have proved popular with tourists.
Shanghai, a shopping centre for best buys, is the largest city in China. Tourists will be satisfied with what the city supplies, from various snacks and cakes to handicrafts and textiles. Neighbouring Suzhou and Hangzhou are considered by Chinese to be “paradise on Earth”.
Xi’an, the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, was the capital of many dynasties in the Chinese history. The city is rich in tourism resources such as Great Wild Goose Pagoda and the Huaqing Hot Springs.
When is the best time for the trip?
China is a vast land with great contrasts in landscape and climate. Consequently, tourists may pay a visit anytime. Spring and autumn are supposed to be the best times to tour cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Xi’an.
If you dislike the cold, you can visit Kunming in south China, which is known for its year-round spring weather. A closer look takes you to the Stone Forest and the Dianchi Lake. If you rarely have a chance to see snow, Harbin is a best choice in January and February.
What is well worth purchasing in China?
China has won a worldwide reputation for handicrafts, silk, porcelain and textiles, all more reasonably priced and of greater variety than elsewhere in the world. Unique local creations are available in their own cities. If tourists are not able to reach these cities, most of these products can be purchased in the Friendship stores in big cities.
If you buy antique objects, be sure to get your receipts and an identification seal before you go through the Chinese customs.
