Visit Iceland and you’ll enter a whole new region of experience. You’ll discover original nature as you’ve never seen it before,and the equally original people for whom timeless nature,ancient heritage and modern lifestyle coexist in harmony. The freedom to wander in the city or wilds as you please is the key to the Iceland experience.
Reykjavik,the capital of Iceland,is just a part of the Icelandic experience with its midnight sun or the magical landscapes mixed with ice and fire. Reykjavik has a population of around 170,000 and offers an interesting mix of cosmopolitan (世界各地的) culture and local village roots.
Old accounts say the ancient gods themselves guided Iceland’s first settler to make his home in Reykjavik. He named the place Reykjavik(Steamy Bay) after the geothermal (地热) steam he saw,which today heats homes and outdoor swimming pools throughout the city,a pollution free energy source that leaves the air outstandingly fresh,clean and clear.
A beautiful river runs through the city limits,and so do fine parks and even wild outdoor areas. In the outskirts (郊区) are places for horse trekking and golf. But against this backcloth of nature,Reykjavik has a packed program of familiar city joys too: art museums,several theaters,an opera house,a symphony orchestra and concerts meeting the needs of the whole spectrum of age and taste.
One must for all visitors is dining out on Icelandic specialties,including delicious seafood,ocean fresh from the morning’s catch,highland lamb and unusual varieties of game. Its purely natural food imaginatively served to delight the most discerning (内行的) of diners. Reykjavik is also famous as one of Europe’s nightspots,where the action on the friendly pub and nightlife scene lasts right through the night. In the evening,the downtown area filled with activity,reaching its peak on Friday or Saturday. The number of pubs,café,discos,and other night spots in the downtown area is astonishing. There is a rich variety of places to go: European style cafés,nightclubs with live entertainment,dance balls for seniors,sports theme pubs with big TV screens,cafés that offer over 100 types of beer,an Irish pub,a Spanish café,a French wine bar.
Walking distances are short downtown,and everything worth seeing outside the city center can be quickly and conveniently reached by bus. With its long,easy going main streets and large shopping malls,Iceland’s capital is a great place to shop too with a bonus of tax free shopping for visitors! Be careful not just for souvenirs (纪念品)(especially woolens and handicrafts) but also for stylish consumer goods and designer labels at competitive prices.
A full range of accommodations (住宿) is available in Reykjavik,from international standard hotels with good conference facilities,through smaller hotels and comfortable guesthouses,to a campsite in the city’s biggest park.

The heart of Mexico is a high,oval valley surrounded by mountains. Once,forests covered the mountainsides,and broad,shining lakes covered nearly all the valley floor. Now,the mountains are bare and scarred with erosion (侵蚀),and much of the valley floor is dry and dusty.
Cortez and his Spanish soldiers were the first Europeans to enter this valley. They saw the thriving Aztec city of Tenochtitlan rising from an island in one of the lakes. Surrounding it were green floating gardens. The Spaniards said it was as beautiful as a dream. Then the conquest began.
By 1521,when the Spaniards had conquered the fierce Aztecs,the island city was in ruins. Cortez decided to rebuild it after the pattern of European cities. Using the conquered Aztecs as slave laborers,Cortez built the new city,now Mexico City,in just four years.
“But a generation had scarcely passed after the conquest before a sad change came over these scenes so beautiful,” writes one historian. The broad,shining lakes began to dry up.
Modern historians believe that Cortez began the destruction of the valley’s lakes when be ordered the city rebuilt. A great deal of charcoal was needed to burn the limestone (石灰石) from which cement (水泥) and mortar were made. Wood was needed to finish the interiors of the buildings.
The mountainside forests were destroyed to provide the charcoal and wood. Once the sloped were bare,rainfall no longer seeped (渗漏) slowly into the earth to feed the springs that filled the valley’s lakes. Instead,rainfall poured off the mountainsides the city from floods,later rulers made a cut through the mountains so that the water drained away into another valley. Mexico City,once an island,had become a city of a dry plain.

“Just five more minutes.” “I’m tired!” “I can’t get up.” If you have ever had trouble getting up in the morning, you are not alone. Many kids in the United States do not get enough sleep.
Your body needs sleep and lots of it! “Evidence shows that elementary-age children need at least nine hours of sleep per night,” said sleep expert Dr. Carl Hunt.
Kids who do not sleep enough cannot do their best, experts say. A tired kid may be moody and act badly. Being tired can also cause kids to forget things, have trouble learning, and have trouble playing sports.
Not sleeping enough can also affect kids’ safety. Experts say children who are tired are more likely to suffer injuries.
Lots of kids lose sleep because they are busy. Many take part in after-school activities. Then they go home, eat dinner, and do homework. Afterward, many kids watch TV, play video games, and surf the Internet. That leaves less time for sleep.
Sometimes you may not be able to go to bed early. But, if you get a choice whether to stay up late, think twice. A good night’s sleep can help you feel your best!

You are not the only one.

四、One possible version:
Dear Teddy,
I am glad to hear that you will come to China. You’ve told me that you are very interested in ancient Chinese cultural relics, especially the Great Wall. Now, I will give you a brief introduction to the Great Wall. The Great Wall is located in the northern part of China, the length of which is about 6,700 kilometers. In 1987, it was added to the World Heritage list. The Great Wall was originally built in the Qin Dynasty to defend against the attack of the enemies. The Great wall is a wonder that was created by the ancient Chinese working people and it is one of the greatest projects in the history of human beings.
Wish you all the best. Hope to see you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
