【推荐1】David is a college student. Last year he went on vacation to Yunnan with his cousin, Cindy. First, they went to Kunming by plane. David liked the weather there. It was not cold or hot. It was really fine. Cindy liked all kinds of flowers best there.

After two weeks, they went to Dali by train. They visited the famous old city and some other places of interest there. They also knew about many local customs (当地的风俗).

One week later, David and Cindy took the bus to Lijiang. They visited Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山). It was really wonderful. There are many interesting stores and restaurants in Lijiang. They ate much fine food there. And Cindy bought many presents for her sister Mary and her brother Bill. David had to come back to the university so they only stayed in Lijiang for one week.

David likes Lijiang so much. He hopes to visit it this summer holiday again.

【推荐2】Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹) is the bike capital of the world. Biking is a fun and easy way of getting around Amsterdam.

Students go to school by bike. People ride their bikes to work. Travelers ride bikes freely around the city.

Even the police work on bikes. There are many roads for bikes and many places for bike parking.

If you travel in Amsterdam, you needn’t take a bus or taxi. Just ride a bike! If you do not want to buy a bike, you can also rent (租赁) one. The city has a lot of bike shops, and they are in almost every part of the city.

It’s a good idea to find a guide (向导) when travelling there because he can take you to some of the city’s most beautiful places. Going for a ride in Amsterdam is really pleasant. You’ll have much fun! But please do remember to follow the traffic rules.

【推荐1】John Black is an English (英语）teacher. He is from America. But now (现在）he is in Shanghai. Mark Black is from London, England. He is an English teacher, too. John and Mark are in the same school（同一所学校）.They are good friends(朋友).

Masks(口罩)not only help save lives but also bring a great danger to wild animals during COVID-19. Single-use (一次性的) masks have been thrown away across the streets, waterways and beaches. They are harmful to the environment and the animals.

In Malaysia, monkeys have been found biting the straps (带子) of used masks in the mountains, which may cause them to lose their breath or even die. There is a similar case. In Britain, a sea gull’s (海鸥的) legs have been found tangled (缠住的) by the mask for almost one week.

It is thought that the biggest influence may be in the water. More than 1.5 billion masks made their way into the world’s oceans last year, resulting in around 6,200 tons of plastic pollution in the oceans, which may enter the food chains and influence the whole ecosystem.

Scientists suggest that the public should use and deal with single-use masks properly and cut the straps to reduce the risk (风险) of animals eating them. People are also encouraged to use washable masks.
