Last winter, I made a trip to Nan Chang. It was the first time that I have visited Nan Chang, where Wan Da amusement park is being located. With my cousin’s warmly invitation, I decided to go with him. After taking the train for 3 hours, we got the destination in the afternoon. The room had been booked previously so it was no need to deal with this problem. The next day, we set out to enjoying this holiday. The tickets were quite expensive. Therefore, it’s worth it. We were engaged in various activity and gained pleasure. It’s really a unforgettable day. This visit not only broadened my horizons, but also relieved myself from stressful study.

The Louvre Museum
As the most visited art museum in the world and also the largest, the Louvre should be top of your list. It would take you no fewer than 100 days to visit the 35,000 works of art on display across 300 rooms – and that’s if you spend just 30 seconds looking at each one.

The Arc de Triomphe, a Neoclassical take on the ancient Roman areh, is one of Paris’s most iconic attractions. It’s worth hiking the 284 stairs to reach the platform on top of the areh as the views span right across the city, towering above the capital at 50m tall.

7 . This summer, I, along with several other international students, traveled to the region of Berounka and found a lovely camping place beside the river. At night, I shared a tent with three girls from Brazil, the United States, and Belgium.
Later that morning, when we were all on the raft and ready to leave, I was told to sit in the middle because I’d never used a paddle (桨)before.
Suddenly, the raft turned over and we all fell into the water. My friends managed to reach the other side of the river quickly, but they couldn’t catch me. I felt panicked but wanted to get out of the water as soon as I could.
At last, I finally made it to a rock near the riverbank. I was so delighted and asked my friends to take a photo of me.
| A．I’d never camped outside before. |
| B．I heard my friends cheering me up loudly. |
| C．I shared what I brought with my three roommates. |
| D．So I grasped my paddle and swam stoutly(勇敢地，坚决地). |
| E．I held on tightly to my paddle, not daring to move one bit. |
| F．I had fallen into the river, but I fell in love with this sport too. |
| G．Tree-filled mountains, the clear blue sky, and wooden cottages surrounded me. |
8 . Canada’s 4 Prettiest Fall Camping Destinations
Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario
Standing beneath a cathedral of tees with orange and red maple leaves, it’s hard to imagine a better place to experience fill in Canada. The majestic colours of sugar and red maple trees are best seen in mid-September to mid-October. Aspens, tamaracks and red oak trees, on the other hand, hit their peak in mid-to-late-October.
Jasper National Park, Alberta
Rugged mountains glaciers, forests and wild rivers make Jasper a perfect fall camping destination. More than 1,200 kilometres of hiking trails showcase a brilliant display of fall colours. Jasper is hone to the world’s largest Dark Sky Preserve, an area free of artificial light pollution, so get ready to enjoy countless stars and constellations with the naked eye at night.
Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia
Whether you’re coming for the cool ocean air or a unique showcase of fall colours, the Cape Breton Highlands will not disappoint. The only sound you’ll hear will be the leaves crunching under your boots when exploring the Cabot Trail. Cold-blooded campers can even try pitching a tent by the sea. If you like back-country camping, go for ‘Fishing Cove.’ Want a large kitchen shelter and flush toilets? Try ‘Maclntosh Brook.’ There’s lots to choose from in these Maritime fall camping destinations.
Okanagan Falls Provincial Park, British Columbia
You don’t have to be a wine aficionado to appreciate the Okanagan, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt. Fill a tetra park with wine to enjoy while watching the sparkly Okanagan River reflect the beautiful colours of autumn. Wine not your thing? Grab some fresh fruit from one of many orchards instead. And don’t forget to bring your binoculars: The park is a favourite of bird and bat-watchers alike.

9 . Large rainforests are extremely important ecosystems on our planet. They are home to a large number of animal and plant species, and they absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide, which helps reduce global warming. These biggest ones in the world are a sight to observe.
Daintree Rainforest
The main river of the rainforest is the Daintree River, and it also includes the Daintree National Park. If you are wondering why everything seems to share the name, the reason is simple-Richard Daintree was a famous Australian geologist and photographer. Plenty of options will take you there, including a ferry.
Valdivian Temperate Rainforest
This rainforest is known to be extremely foggy and humid, but some interesting species live there. Since it is on the coast, you can witness ice sheets and glaciers as well. Getting to the rainforest is most accessible from Santiago, the capital of Chile, and a train ride or a bus is a preferred option.
Congo Rainforest
This rainforest also features a large number of different plant and animal species, including gorillas, forest elephants, and lions. Visiting this rainforest is also recommended by using a tour company, preferably by finding one in the Republic of Congo.
Amazon Rainforest
It is estimated that we can find 16,000 different tree species in the Amazon rainforest.
When it comes to other plants, animals, and insects, the numbers are even more impressive. The especially interesting thing is that there is still a large number of undiscovered species. A tour guide is advised since going through the rainforest can be dangerous, with predatory creatures(食肉动物)running around.
1. Which of the following is named after a person?| A．Daintree Rainforest. | B．The capital of Chile. |
| C．The Republic of Congo. | D．Amazon Rainforest. |

10 . Visiting the London Eye
Avoid Peak Times
The London Eye is busiest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. during the UK school holidays, and is quieter at the beginning and end of their opening hours, which vary throughout the year. As a rough guide, summer hours are 10 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. and winter hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., but do check in advance on their site for the hours on the day you plan to go. It's worth bearing in mind that it closes for around two weeks every January, for annual maintenance (维护).
Buy Tickets Online
Buying tickets online will allow you to skip the initial ticket office line and also save you 10%, if you book more than 24 hours in advance. You will, however, be tying yourself into a time slot, unless you choose an Any Time Flexi ticket. If you want to avoid waiting as much as possible, your best bet is buying a Fast Track ticket, which can be bought on the day or online (again, with a 10% discount and the bonus of skipping the ticket office line). It's an extra cost, but will grant you fast track entry through a dedicated entrance.
Travel By Train
Waterloo station (served by the tube and overland trains) is the closest to the London Eye, at just a five-minute walk away. Both Embankment and Charing Cross are fairly close, at around a 10-minute walk. Westminster station is a short and picturesque walk over the river where you'll also find the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben.
