1 . Ice climbing is a moving winter sport that combines excitement, skills and determination.
Back in 2014 and 2018, the sport was presented to the public during the Sochi Winter Olympic Games in Russia and the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games. The next goal for ice climbing is showing the sport in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
If you are already interested in this sport, here are some of the world’s best places with special ice formations (冰构) that you shouldn’t miss.
Ouray, Colorado, the US
Ouray offers climbers easy access to more than 200 named climbs, with free entrance to the park. The ice park also provides professional guidance and services for beginners. Ouray usually hosts the biggest ice festival in North America every January.
Shuangqiaogou, Sichuan, China
China has a lot of ice walls, which are located in different mountains in the northern and western parts of the country. Among them, Sichuan province’s Shuangqiaogou, or Twin Bridge Trench (双桥沟), in Mount Siguniang has some of the finest such spots. The ice season in the area usually starts from mid-December and runs through late February. Climbers can enjoy various ice formations as well as a clean and quiet environment.
Valdez, Alaska, the US
Alaska’s surprising Valdez area has been attracting world-class climbers to the area for ten years. Each year, climbers go there to follow classic routes such as Sheep Creek and Solomon Gulch (希普河和所罗门峡谷). Others explore the area by themselves, hoping to find the next classic site on their adventures. The climbers can find glacier hiking, skiing and sled (雪橇) trips there.

4 . Tourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.
Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors around interesting places. There’re new night clubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.

During the weekend parents and I paid a visit to Datong City by train. We arrive there at about 9 am. First we went to a ancient temple, in that we saw some impressive Budda statues. It is small but beautiful. So we stayed here for nearly two hours. Then we left for the temple to go downtown. You can't imagine what crowded the street was! My parents bought some souvenirs in the local market. Meanwhile, I collected some postcard and funny toys. As we know, Datong is famous for its noodles, so we couldn't wait to taste some in a restaurant decorating traditionally. At 5 pm, we came back home happy.

9 . Like many couples, Sheila and David Hoffman enjoy travelling. Since 2000, they’ve often visited relatives in Australia and enjoyed holidays in many European countries including France, Germany, Italy, and Greece. And they’ve toured around America, but they haven’t once stayed in a hotel. The Hoffmans are part of a growing number of people who use their home as a way to have inexpensive holidays. So far, they’ve swapped their three-bedroom London home with people who want to stay there for anything from a week to two months.
In a home swap, you offer your house as a place to stay and anyone who’s interested gets in touch. If your dates and requirements fit, then you make a deal to exchange houses for an agreed time. The exchange can involve more than just a place to stay — some homeowners also exchange cars and others will arrange for a friend or neighbour to be on call in case of emergencies. Some exchangers will even organise restaurant bookings and trips.
Home swaps have existed in Britain on an organised basis for decades but they really took off with the arrival of the Internet. Previously, the process was long and drawn-out, involving letter exchange and expensive international calls to complete arrangements. Now, it can all be done with a few clicks. Most home-exchangers register (注册) with a specialist home-exchange company that deals with the organisation.
More people are using their homes as a way to enjoy holidays at home as well as abroad. Most of them choose to follow the trend because they are interested in how natives lead their lives. When you live in a typical home rather than a hotel, it’s almost like an exchange of lifestyles. It’s also a cheap way to travel making sure you won’t run short of money on your journey.
1. Where do Sheila and David Hoffman live?| A．In Australia. | B．In the US. | C．In the UK. | D．In France. |
| A．Smart. | B．Strict. | C．Humorous. | D．Thoughtful. |
| A．It caused many problems. | B．It saved a lot of time. |
| C．It was well-organised. | D．It was complicated. |
| A．They hope to experience life as the locals. |
| B．They are not used to staying in hotels. |
| C．They do not want to leave their houses unused. |
| D．They need to earn money from exchanging their homes. |
