1 . Frances Stevens Reese Wooldland Trail Guide
The Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October 21, 1997. Boscobel’s Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of former Boscobel board member, Fances Stevens Reese (1917-2003), one year after his death.
The trail(小径) is approximately 10 miles in length, leading down to Constitution Forest. When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War, trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest, you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.
Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region. You will also find signs with historic and environmental information written by area specialists.
When you take a walk through this “undiscovered” forest land, please be a considerate guest.
Before walking the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House. Plan ahead, so you will be back by closing time.
Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of poison plants and snakes.
Leave rocks, plants, animals and art works where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.
Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail. If you happen to see a piece of litter, be a good guest and pick it up.

3 . The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers’ questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn’t pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.
“Why don’t you travel with us?” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.
It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel’s swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I’ve backpacked alone across South Africa, sky-dived from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the U.S. with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn’t picked up the phone.

All students from our class go to the exhibition displaying China’s outstanding achievements in last month. As soon as we arrived, a guide gave us a introduction to the exhibition. While listen, we made some notes carefully. We felt excitedly and couldn’t wait to start the visit. We were both inspired by the various exhibits, including the models of the high-speed train. We took a lot of photo and were proud of the achievements of our country.
The next day, we decided have a class meeting to present which we had seen. Immediately we devoted ourselves to prepare the presentations.

9 . China is a big country, and there is no simple answer to the question “When is the best time to visit China? ” There are two best times to visit China, depending on your preference.
October
Things to do: hike on the Great Wall, photography tour
Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Guilin,Jiuzhaigou, Chengdu
The best time to go to China is early autumn (October).
Most of China has warm temperatures, and the summer rains have stopped (apart from around HongKong and Sanya) so it’s pretty dry. The autumnn colours are also amazing. It is quiet at tourist attractions for most of the month, as the summer holiday travel crowds have gone. But try to avoid October 1 st -7 th, which is the Chinese National Day holiday, as attractions, transport and hotels are packed with Chinese tourists and prices go up a lot.
Late Spring (April to May)
Things to do: appreciate flowers, Li River cruise, ethnic festivals
Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Huangshan, GuiZhou, Zhangjiajie
The second-best time to travel to China is probably in April and May, when the flowers are in bloom and the temperatures are warming up. In late spring, temperatures across China are getting into the 20s (℃), except the extreme northwest and northeast. While the North of China is still dry, the summer rains have already begun in the South. This could actually improve the view in the form of mountain fog in mountainous areas like the Li River and the Yellow Mountains.
Ethnic festivals in GuiZhou are concentrated in April and May, such as the Sisters’ Meal Festival. If you are interested in Miao and Dong ethnic cultures, this is a good time to visit.
Travel prices are average: cheaper than June to October, but more expensive than the lower season from November to March.
1. Which time is best if you want to attend the ethnic festivals in GuiZhou?| A．April 25 th. | B．June 17 th. | C．October 1 st. | D．November 9 th. |
| A．Beijing and Zhangjiajie. | B．Shanghai and GuiZhou. |
| C．Xi’an and Guilin. | D．Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou. |
| A．Because the summer rains haven’t come yet. |
| B．Because the wet weather adds to its beauty. |
| C．Because there are several special festivals there. |
| D．Because the prices are the lowest of the year. |
10 . You can love them or hate them，but no matter which tourist destination you visit，chances are you'll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.
Lonely Planet is one of the world's largest travel guide brands，publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages.The popular brand also produces television shows，websites and podcasts (播客) all devoted to travel.
Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable.They also save time and make sure you don't miss the best things.
They also provide the reviews of hostels (招待所)，hotels，restaurants and ticket information about your destination.
This can be great if you're a nervous traveler，or if you haven't traveled by yourself before.If you're in a country where you don't speak the language，sometimes there's nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook.You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that's cheap and clean，with friendly staff and cold beer.
But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them.They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity (自发性) out of traveling，and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen.They also regret that if you follow a guidebook，you'll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else.You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over，because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.
Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities.For example，some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists.They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle，wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.
