【推荐2】The worst tourist (游客) in the world may be Mr. Green. Once he went from San Francisco to his hometown in Italy to visit his family. The plane made a one-hour stop at the airport in New York. But Mr. Green thought it was Rome, so he got off (从……下来) the plane.

When nobody was there to meet him, Mr. Green thought perhaps they were held up (延迟) by heavy traffic. While looking for his address, Mr. Green found that the old “Rome” changed a lot. He couldn’t see many old buildings. There were high modern buildings here and there. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian.

After six hours’ traveling around in a bus, the driver had to take him to a police station. Mr. Green knew very little English, so he had to ask a policeman for help. Luckily, the policeman was born in Italy and answered him in the same language.

Mr. Green didn’t believe he was in New York when he was told so. In order to help him catch a plane back to San Francisco, a policeman drove very fast with siren (警笛) on to send Mr. Green to the airport. “Look,” said Mr. Green to himself, “I know I’m in Italy. That’s how the policeman drives.”

【推荐3】A city without cars would be very strange, right? Venice is such a city.

Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best ways to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go.

People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.

Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.

Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.

Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean(北冰洋)melt(融化).

Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.

Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.

1. Where is Venice?

A．In Italy.

B．In Canada.

C．In England.

D．In America.

2. Which is the most impossible way for people in Venice to get around?

A．On foot.

B．By boat.

C．By car.

D．By bike.

3. What seasons are dangerous for Venice because of high waters?

A．Summer and autumn.

B．Autumn and winter.

C．Summer and winter.

D．Spring and winter.
