9 . Canada: off the beaten track — three to see

Rocky Mountains

The Rockies run along the Alberta-British Columbia border and are inside two huge national parks — Banff to the south and Jasper to the north. Banff was Canada’s first wildlife reserve and these days the town of Banff is the most popular tourist destination in the country. But Jasper National Park is larger, wilder, and less well-explored. Between the parks of Banff and Jasper is the Columbia Icefield, a huge bowl of ice made up of about thirty glaciers. If you don’t like ice, the Rockies offer wildlife walks, swimming, camping, hiking, canoeing, mountain climbing, and plenty of places to stay. Accommodation costs（住宿费）are usually lower at the Jasper end of this superb mountain playground.

Lunenburg

Lunenburg is south from Halifax, along a foggy coast of rocky seas, fishing villages, and historic towns. It is a beautiful little shipbuilding town and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Fishing has always been big in Lunenburg: most of Atlantic Canada’s deep-sea fishing boats leave from here, and North America’s biggest fish-processing factory is located in the town. Lunenburg still has many wooden buildings and as a result feels like an 18th century British colonial（殖民时期的）town. You can visit the town’s Fisheries Museum or just wander around, looking at the wooden houses in the old streets — and of course have a dinner of seafood.

Churchill

One of the few places in the north that is “easy” to get to, Churchill is a 1.5-day train journey from Winnipeg. Churchill is a major port, but eco-tourism is becoming more and more important. Although it is freezing, many visitors come to see the polar bears, whales, Arctic foxes, and if they are lucky, the Northern Lights. Churchill calls itself the “Polar Bear Capital of the World”, and for a good reason: the town sits right in the middle of the animals’ migration route, and the cute but deadly white bears sometimes wander into the town. Tours to see the bears from September to November are the most popular attraction.

1. Which of the following was Canada’s first wildlife reserve?

A．Banff.	B．Jasper.
C．Halifax.	D．Winnipeg.

2. What do we know about Lunenburg’s fish-processing factory?

A．It is now a museum.	B．It is a wooden building.
C．It was built in the 18th century.	D．It is the largest in North America.

3. What do most visitors to Churchill want to see?

A．Whales.	B．Polar bears.
C．Arctic foxes.	D．The Northern Light.

10 . 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每空一词。

Pretty much anyone can book a trip, but not everyone plan a perfect adventure that's affordable, accommodating, and fun for everyone in your group. Here are some insider tips that we'd like to share with you about Hotels.

Check Distance on a Map

It is not uncommon for hotels to advertise their proximity(邻近) to attractions and services around town. If being close to a particular airport or landmark important for your trip, verify distances on Google Maps before you book a hotel.

Skip the Package Deals

To attract new guests, sometimes these deals that sound exciting but may not be worth it. Just know that sometimes these packages include things you don't even want or need and that the special rate could be higher than the regular rate.

Don't Pay for the Mini Bar

Mini bar charges are frequently disputed because they are stocked by hand and often miscalculated. Carefully review your hotel's itemized bill and if you see any mini bar charges that aren't right, dispute them. Most front desk staff won’t hesitate to void the charges.

Understand Room Preferences Aren't Guaranteed

Hotel booking include preferences like bed size and the number of beds. But in many hotels, travelers should know that these preferences aren’t guaranteed. You’ll usually get what you asked for, but not always.

Mention Special Occasions

Many of us travel for birthday, anniversaries, and special events. Mention what you're celebrating to the hotel staff a week or more before you arrive and you might be surprised, like a bottle of champagne in your room.

Be Polite to the Staff

A little niceness goes a long way, especially with hotel staff that has to deal with difficult guests on a regular basis. When you check in, simply ask how the front desk clerk's day is going and say hello to the cleaning staff when you pass them in the hall. This isn't just common courtesy, but it also increases your chances of getting perks(额外待遇) during your stay.

Bundle(捆绑) a Hotel Stay with Airfare

If you've got your trip all planned out and know your itinerary, consider building your hotel room with your airfare for better price. Some websites offer travel packages that combine both accommodations and flights, which can help you save significantly on your hotel room.

Ask for a Corner Room

When you check in at a hotel, discretely ask if there's a corner room available. These are usually larger and quieter for the same price as ones in the middle of the hall. Upgrades are most often offered at the end of the day when hotels have a better sense of their occupancy.

Book a trip in a     1     way
Introduction	Booking a trip may not     2     everyone's taste.
Tips	•Checking distances on Google Maps before making a     3     is of great importance. •Try to avoid being cheated by hotel's themed package which may not     4     it. •Having a clear     5     of practices in hotels, room preferences' guarantee is a must. •Gifts might come as     6     from hotels on special occasions. •Showing     7     for the staff is a good gesture during the day. •A     8     of accommodations and flights is a wise choice to save money. •Asking for a corner room is highly     9     when checking in.
