National parks are large areas of public land. They give a safe home for local plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. They also give us the best trips. Today, there are nearly 7,000 national parks around the world. Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world that will surprise you with their amazing landscape, geographic wonders and colourful plants and animals.

The Grand Canyon (大峽谷)National Park of the US is one of the Seven National Wonders of the World. It is best known for its size and depth. It is 446 kilometers long, up to 29 kilometers wide, and 1.6 kilometers deep. The immensity of the canyon makes people think big. Every year, about 5 million people visit here. Taking a tour in the South Rim offers visitors the park’s full views, while the North Rim shows beautiful wild flowers.

If you love animals, you’ll like the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The “ Big Five” live here. They are the lion, African elephant, African leopard, black rhinoceros and African buffalo. The name “ Big Five” came from the five animals that were the hardest to catch. Now they are what people most want to see in the wild. If you visit the park, you should never miss the migration(遷徙) of over 1.5 million wildebeests(角馬)and 250,000 zebras every year. This is the most famous site of the park.

科目:初中英語 來源:江蘇省連云港市2017屆九年級中考模擬(四)英語試卷 題型:任務(wù)型閱讀

Let’s face it: homework can be almost as frustrating (沮喪) for parents as it is for kids. Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a lot of other problems can appear.

Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn’t be something that kids hate. Your children’s assignments (任務(wù)) should help them build a skill or learn something new.

You can help by being a homework monitor, stepping in to answer questions or offer encouragement. This gives you a chance to see what they are learning and how well they understand the material. It helps you understand their learning style and shows you care about their education.

Many kids refuse to study by asking why they have to learn things they’ll never use in real life. If your son or daughter shows little interest in their assignments, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in daily life.

If parents feel that their kids are overloaded (超負(fù)荷), they can talk about it with the teachers. If you think it takes your child too long to finish homework, try to make a decision whether the problem lies in having too much work or managing time poorly.

If your child complains of boredom while doing homework, give him or her the following suggestions:

Get help from friends: if your children are bored with an assignment, let them call a friend for help or invite a friend over to work on it with them.

Add physical activity: set mini-goals for homework and allow time for relaxing, jumping around, or a snack after each goal is completed. For a kid who can’t sit still, find active ways to study.

Turn the tables: let your children teach you a lesson. Let them give you a test on the things they have just learned.
