4 . The Boundary Waters area of northeastern Minnesota is the ancestral homeland of the Ojibwe people. With no electricity or Wi-Fi, and offering only the slimmest chance of getting a cell signal, the million- plus acres of wild land and water that parents and kids can explore there today is little changed from the 1400s, when the Ojibwe first traveled these waterways in canoes.

For kids addicted to smartphones and other electronic devices(设备), such a trip may mark the first time they've really experienced true quiet. Although adventure seekers treasure it for its scores of tracks, primitive camping sites, and more than 1,500 miles of canoe routes, it's the peace of nature and hearing their own breathing and heartbeats, maybe for the first time, that can make this place so magical and meaningful for children.

"This place changes people," says local shop owner Steve Nelson. "It's a phenomenal experience to share. The wilderness calls you. It really does." When Nelson takes families into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness(BWCAW), he tells the kids to get up early and silently, take a cup of hot chocolate, and then sit on the shore to watch the plants and animals of the Boundary Waters wake up.

"When the parents and children sit there, they are going to hear birds making long high sounds in the distance and singing nearby," he says. "They might see fish come up and catch insects sitting on the surface, and turtles resting on the rocks. They are watching, listening, hearing, and appreciating their surroundings in a way that isn't possible in a city."

"There was a family with three boys who would go out into the wilderness for 20 days at a time," Nelson says. "When I asked the dad why he took the trip year after year, he said, "Number one, it is one of the most inexpensive vacations. Number two, and more important, is who my kids are going to talk to out here? It's just my wife and me, so they have to talk to us."

1. What can we learn about the Boundary Waters area from Paragraph 1?

A．It provides tourists with a cultural life.

B．It has long remained in its natural state.

C．It offers tours guided by the Ojibwe people.

D．It is a popular theme park for parents and kids.

2. What would be the most attractive to kids touring the Boundary Waters area?

A．How animals adapt themselves to the surroundings.

B．Some unique species of animals in the BWCAW.

C．Differences between city life and country life.

March 24th Saturday We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok (曼谷). This is our first trip to Thailand. All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.

March 27th Tuesday Bangkok is wonderful and surprising. The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.

March 30th Friday Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life-no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.
