Like Muir, those of us who stand along the rim are prompted to wonder about the unearthliness and the forces that created and are still changing this place.
After more than 100 years of studies, many things are still obscure. Today visitors come by the thousands-the great and simple of the earth-all in a spirit of marvel. Travellers come from every state of the Union, from every country in Europe and Asia, pilgrims to a shrine that is the same as the creed. '
From the depths of the canyon comes welling silence. Seldom can you hear the rear of the river. You cannot catch the patter. Like applause, from the leaves of the cottonwoods on the shelflike plateau below you. For all sounds are swallowed in this gulf of space. "It makes one want to murmur. "A woman once whispered to her companion. This silence is not the silence of death; rather, it is a presence. It is like a great piece of music. But music made of man works up to a climax and ceases; the Grand Canyon is all climax, a chord echoing into eternity.
Perhaps the most spectacular feature of the Grand Canyon, its Redwall limestone cliff, stands about half way up the chasm and is practically vertical. Its average height is 550 feet—almost exactly that of the Washington Monument. Though it is actually gray-blue limestone, the surface of the cliff has been stained to a sunset hue by iron salts washing out of the rocks. Above the Redwall come alternating layers of red sandstone and shale 1,000 feet thick, then comes the next pale-blue layer. The topmost layers are a yellowish limestone.
Now, visitors to the South Rim alone may number 18, 000 in a single day. Some of that number will travel by mule train down Bright Angel Trail to the canyon's floor, cross the raging river by a suspension bridge and amount to the North Rim.
Though the two rims face each other across only 12 miles, it is a journey of 214 miles by car from one to the other. Nor can you visit the North Rim except in summer; some 1,200 feet higher than the South Rim ,'it is snow covered much of the year except in July and August.
But there is no day that you may not visit the South Rim and find the sun warm on your face and the air perfumed with the incense of smoke from an Indian hearth. The Grand Canyon is an unearthly sight. No wonder an American writer and journalist said, "I came here an atheist, and departed a devout believer."
The author described the Grand Canyon as ______.
A.beautiful
B.roaring
C.unearthly
D.devout

Mr. Jim Reardon
Grand Berlin Hotel
Marlene Dietrich Platz 2,
Berlin 10785, Germany
Mr. Jim Reardon,
We would like to thank you for helping us to have such wonderful time in Berlin. Because we own a hotel about the same size as yours, we understand how busy you must be, and it makes us appreciate even more the time you gave to us while we were at the hotelier's connection last month.
My brother had said that you would make us feel welcome, but you did even more than that. It was very kind of you to drive us to see all of the sights in your great city - especially the newly rebuilt parliament building, which we found to be an impressive architectural work indeed. We were impressed by the richness of Berlin's culture and life, and will surely recommend a visit there to all of our colleagues as well as to our guests.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you ever expect to be in Tokyo. We would be honored to return your kindness if you are ever in our city.
Sincerely,
Barb McCarthy
For what does Ms. Barb McCarthy thank Mr. Jim Reardon?
A.Free accommodations
B.Information about hotels
C.Convention tickets
D.A sightseeing trip
M: Oh, hardly, but we had a good time just the same. We managed to stop at the old Ghost Town near Virginia City. That's what Jimmy was all excited about.
W: Did you go to Denver like your wife wanted to?
M: Yes, we stayed with her cousin for two days. We had to pass up the Grand Canyon though, because Jimmy got sick from eating too many grapes.
W: How about the stop at Indian Falls? Did you have any time for that?
M: Yes, but we almost didn't. We left Denver on Highway 14 when we should have taken Highway 90. When we realized it, it was almost dark. Still we got there in time to take a few pictures.
W: Where else did you go?
M: Well, we went through Phoenix, Arizona. We all liked that. But we had some trouble with the car there. We had to stay an extra day because of that.
W: I bet that made you mad.
M: It sure did, especially because I had the guy at the garage give the car a checkup just before we left home, and he said the car was in excellent condition. Still I can't complain. I was able to get in some extra fishing because of the delay. I went out with the man who was staying in the hotel we were at.
W: Generally, you did quite a lot.
M: Yes, we certainly did. But after we got home, it took us two days to rest up. All that driving around was murder.

听力原文:M: Hi, Ellen. How was your vacation?
W: Great! I went to Bankok.
M: Really? Why did you decide to go there?
W: Well, I have a cousin who lives there. She's been trying to get me to take a vacation down there for a long time, and so finally, she talked me into it. M: I've seen some pictures of Bangkok the architecture there is really interesting, isn't it?
W: Yes, it's incredible, especially the Grand Palace. The Buddhist temples, too, are very impressive. And I love the spicy Thai food and tropical fruits there.
M: How was the weather when you were there?
W: That's about the only thing I didn't enjoy. It was really hot and sticky. In fact, April is its hottest month. The best time to go is during the cool season, which lasts from November to February.
M: Did you go to some other places besides Bangkok?
W: Sure. I went to Pattaya. It's a famous resort, only two hours' drive from Bangkok. There's plenty to enjoy: fine sand, blue sky, clear water, colorful night life...
M: Well, it sure sounds like you had a great time.
W: Oh, I sure did. And I plan to go back ~ere next year. I'd like to visit Phuket, the biggest island of Thailand. It's world-famous as a seaside resort.

Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit(在英国,住宿的地方就如你游览的地方一样变化多样). Whatever your budget is the choice -from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle - is all part of fun.
Hostels
Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don't have to be young or single to use them. Britain's independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable - almost like bargain hotels.
Youth Hotels
Founded many years ago to "help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside", the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain's towns and countryside.
B&Bs
The B&B (bed and breakfast) is a Great British institution, In essence you get a room in somebody's house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you'll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.
In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around £12 to £20 per person. City B&Bs charge about £25 to £30 per person, although they're often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.
Pubs & Inns
As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain's pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.
Rates range from around £15 to £25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.
