In addition to lakes, Canada has a number of beaches as it has a long coastline on its north, east, and west. Travelers from around the world come in large numbers to enjoy the sunbath on various beaches.
Niagara Falls lies on the border between Canada and the US. It is now popular for its beauty and is a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Niagara Falls is most attractive during the summer season when the weather condition is charming and attractive. At the Canadian side, floodlights illuminate both sides of the falls for several hours after dark and the whole scene becomes magnificent.
When traveling in Canada, travelers can enjoy doing the shopping in Toronto which is considered a leading city. It symbolizes the spirit of independence. Migrants from Europe, Latin America and Asia inhabit the place and make it a plural society. Ottawa, on the other hand, is the capital of Canada and center of political activities.
Vancouver is an enlightening city in Canada which was named after British Captain George Vancouver, who explored the area in the 1790s. The city is a leading industrial place in Canada. Another tourist attraction in Canada is the capital city of British Columbia, Victoria. The city is located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island.

6 . The hike to the lost Incan city of Choquequirao is one of the most difficult in Peru. From the town of Cachora, Choquequirao is 161km west of Cusco. It’s an 18km walk to Capuliyoc Mountain, then down to Playa Rosalina where tourists camp for the night. Waking early, tourists then have to cross the Apurímac River and walk uphill to camp close to the ruins. The next morning, it’s another 2km walk up to the ruins, 3,100m above sea level. To get back? Well, it’s the same way you come.
“I’ve had people in their 60s and 70s do it,” said Juan Barrios, a guide from the Adventure Life company. “But some people come out thinking that because it’s only 28km from the destination, they can do it in a day. They are totally wrong! Six or seven days for the hike is best.” It makes sense then, that Choquequirao draws only about 30 people a day during the high season (June through August). Compare that to the 2, 500 people who arrive each day at the famous Incan city of Machu Picchu. But for those who make the journey, the rewards are great: beautiful mountain views at every turn, and the chance to explore the wonderful ruins nearly alone.
Believed to be created around the same time as Machu Picchu, in 1445, Choquequirao is actually larger than better-known Machu Picchu. But very little has been written about Peru’s other lost city and researchers are still unearthing new parts of the ruins, leaving life on the mountain relatively untouched.
Choquequirao is beautiful now because of its unique scenery and civilization. Even though the lost city was discovered by Spanish explorer Juan Arias Díaz in 1710, the ruins still make you feel as though you’re the first to find them. The question is what if more tourists flood in (大量涌入) in the future.
1. What does the first paragraph center on?| A．The height of Choquequirao. | B．The hard trip to Choquequirao. |
| C．The transport to Choquequirao. | D．The amazing views of Choquequirao. |
| A．1 day | B．2-3 days | C．4-5 days | D．6 or 7 days |
| A．Choquequirao is older. |
| B．Choquequirao is smaller. |
| C．Choquequirao is quieter. |
| D．Choquequirao is better known. |
| A．Positive. | B．Hopeful. | C．Negative. | D．Concerned. |

Last week, my mother and I visit beautiful Huangshan. We climbed to the top of the mountain. The mountain was so much high that it seemed to being in the clouds. Huangshan was full with hard rocks. We were surprising to see pine trees (松树) growing in the cracks of it. On arriving at the highest point of the mountain, we saw a sea of clouds, what was really unpredictable. Sometimes it looked like hundreds of horse and sometimes it looked like waves in a sea. We were complete amazed by the beautiful scenery.Never we forget the beauty of Huangshan.

I like traveling and my dream of visit Beijing, the capital city of our country, come true during the National Day this year. In October 1st, I went to Tiananmen Square with my parents, which we watched the flag-raising ceremony. As I watched flag rising slowly, I sang the National authem, feeling extremely exciting. Then we went to some other famous tourist attraction, like the Great Wall. Standing on the Great Wall, I felt very proudly. I thought of the old saying that “One who fail to reach the Great Wall is not a hero.” Although I was tired, but I really had a good time.
