9 . They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.
The next day, after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon—by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, "STOP, TAKE US BACK!" When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.
As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I'd suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.
1. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?| A．They made a careful preparation before the trip. |
| B．The children were more joyful than their parents. |
| C．Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected. |

| A．we were weak | B．we were unhappy |
| C．we were dissatisfied | D．we were disappointed |
| A．It proved to be frightening. | B．It was more comfortable. |
| C．It turned out to be exciting. | D．It made each of them tired. |
| A．experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way |
| B．one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon |
| C．the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion |
| D．the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident |
10 . Postcards to myself
In 50 years of traveling Colin McCorpuodale has visited every country in the world, except three. And everywhere he goes, he sends himself a postcard. He always chooses a postcard with a beautiful view, and sticks on an interesting stamp. Usually he writes just a short message to himself. His latest one , from the Malians island, read Good fishing.
On a wall in his home in London there is a large map of the world. There are hundreds of little red pins stuck in it. “It’s good to get a pin in the map,” says Mr. McCorquodale, “but I follow the rules. I’m allowed to stick one in only if I’ve been in a place for more than 24 hours.”
Naturally, Mr. McCorpuodale has his favorite places, New Zealand he describes as “wonderful”. In Europe, he says,”Italy is a favourite place. But in Italy tourists are worried that they will get ripped off because people there often charge too much for something.” About China, he says, “This is one country in the world which is completely different. There is no European influence.”
Wherever he goes, Mr. McCorpuodale takes with him a photo of his wife, a candle, a torch, a shirt with a secret pocket, and a pen for writing his postcards
So why does he do it ? For the postcards or the travel? Mr McCorpuodale laughs, “I do it for the journey,” he says. I get a kick out of traveling, and all the planning.
