Have you ever wanted to feel like you were in a western film? Or maybe you wanted to feel like you were a pioneer traveling the west? It is possible to experience such things during a Wild West vacation! Here are four of the best Wild West vacation locations available:
Walk the Lewis and Clark Trail
Walk some or all of the 3,700 miles trail that was traversed by Mariwether Lewis and William Clark, two of the world’s greatest explorers. Though not all the trails are marked, there are various stops that have been preserved by various historic societies. There is also a coach (長途客車) that makes a 16-day trek following the trail. This begins in St. Louis, Missouri, and ends in Astoria, Oregon.
Venture Route 66
Take a tour or go to see it yourself — ride on the famous Route 66. The road is nearly 2,500 miles long. Harley Davidson offers motorcycle tours that last two weeks. Route 66 will provide an experience that may only be found on the open road. The historic road is still well taken care of.
Visit the Grand Canyon
Visit the greatest canyon in the world, located in Northern Arizona. Raft down the Colorado River, or hike the various trails that run throughout the canyon. If walking is not your thing, there are donkey and horse riding adventures available. In addition, there are motorized boats that float down through the canyon in a week’s time.
Visit Deadwood
Located in South Dakota, Deadwood is a historic landmark. It is the kind of town that comes to mind when one thinks of an old western film. Actors who act as gunslingers (殺手) will often be seen in the streets playing their roles. Winter activities are popular in this old town, and there is always something to do.
小題1:The underlined word “trek” (Para 2) can be replaced by      .
A．beautiful sceneryB．traveling information
C．pleasant holidayD．long and hard journey
小題2:Which of following riding adventures can tourists take on Route 66?

C．Western films are the most popular among Americans.
D．None of the trails in the west are marked.

小題1:D
小題2:C
小題3:A
小題4:B
文章介紹了四種倒西部的探險活動。
小題1:D 猜測詞義題。本句There is also a coach (長途客車) that makes a 16-day trek following the trail.乘坐長途汽車要16天，說明這肯定是一個漫長且艱難的旅途，故D正確。

小題3:A 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第四段第二行hike the various trails that run throughout the canyon.說明在Visit the Grand Canyon你可以hike various trails故A正確。
小題4:B 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段1，2行Walk some or all of the 3,700 miles trail that was traversed by Mariwether Lewis and Walk some or all of the 3,700 miles trail that was traversed by Mariwether Lewis and William Clark, two of the world’s greatest explorers., two of the world’s greatest explorers說明William Clark也是一個探索西部的探索者。

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the   36  side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to  37  in good health, or  38  about how to behave and conduct oneself in society．If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to  39   damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 40  the title．Therefore, the scissors would  41  before they start,  42   halfway done when I find out the  43   result．

Last year, around Labor Day, I read a “Happy Ad” in our local newspaper． There was a lady in a local nursing home, who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it． It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her address． So I did． I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday．

She passed away a couple of months ago． I never met this lady, but I did keep her and her family in my thoughts． I dropped them a line of sympathy． I hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth．

Rather than say sorry to my son for embarrassing him and give up this   57 , I put a couple of lollies into their shopping bags and   58  them a great day!
When we left the supermarket, I   59  to my son, “People in the world today are not so open to   60  because their thoughts and opinions have been   61  by the past. However, we can reshape their opinions by   62  small acts of kindness. So don’t be embarrassed. Hey, they may have been standoffish(冷淡的), but I’m sure we left them   63 , moved and inspired in some way.
