“Maggie, I’ll go to Edinburgh tomorrow for business. Would you like to come with me?” Grandpa asked his young granddaughter.
She looked up at him with excited eyes and said, “Grandpa, I’d love to go. Can we go to the castle (城堡)? Can we shop on the Princes street? Can we go on a double-decker bus (双层巴士)?”
“Hold on there. I can’t promise we will be able to go to the castle ,but perhaps we can do a bit of shopping and go on the bus,”he said, “Go and ask your grandmother if it is all right with her.”
Maggie ran off to find her. She was outside in the garden. “Grandma, can I go with grandpa to Edinburgh tomorrow?”
Grandma stopped weeding the turnip patch. “Go and have fun,” she said.
“Why don’t you come too, Grandma?” Maggie asked.
“I’ve got too much work here. My garden needs weeding and I’ve got to tend to the sheep,” she explained . “You go and enjoy yourself. ”
Maggie hardly slept that night, she’d only been to Edinburgh once before. She was up before the sun rose over the horizon. Grandpa said they were to get an early start. Maggie ate breakfast, which consisted of porridge and a banana, then dressed and was ready to go. Grandpa waited for her outside. “Are you ready?” he asked, smiling down at her.
Maggie was wearing a bright red skirt, a white blouse (衬衫) with little red flowers embroidered on the corner, a red cardigan (开衫),white socks and red shoes, and her brown pigtail (马尾) were tied in red ribbons. “I’m ready, grandpa,”she said excitedly.
He took her by the hand and they walked down to the bus station. They boarded soon after arriving and found a seat near the front. Maggie sat by the window. During the long drive down to the town, she sat staring out of the window. “We are almost there ,”grandpa nudged (轻推) her. “Look up there on the hill. That’s the castle,” he said softly.
Paragraph 1:
At last the bus stopped at the bottom of the hill near the castle.

10 . Americans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.
The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees (费) .
Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow- mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.
The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.
1. Which of the following is true according to the text?| A．Visitors will pay less than before. |
| B．The parks are not big enough to hold all visitors. |
| C．Visitors may not necessarily buy tickets ahead of time. |
| D．Only buses are allowed to enter the parks. |
| A．because the National Park Service are short of money |
| B．only for the development of the national parks |
| C．to protect the animals |
| D．mainly to limit the number of visitors |
| A．Enlarged. | B．Admitted. | C．Controlled. | D．Concerned. |
| A．High fees may probably keep some people out of parks. |
| B．Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer. |
| C．The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution. |
| D．National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible. |
