Found in Southeast Alaska and spreading about 26,560 square miles, the Tongass National Forest is the largest national forest in the United States and the largest temperate rainforest(温带雨林) in North America.

You must have heard of the legend(传说)of Yu Gong, who tried to move two mountains. The Taihang Mountain was one of the two mountains.
The Taihang Mountain passes through the areas of Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and Beijing. 21 It is one of the largest mountain ranges in North China, and it was called “the backbone(脊梁)of China” in ancient times.
22 For example, Nvwa used stones to repair the sky to make sure that humans would have a better future; Houyi protected everyone by shooting the suns; Emperor Yan, one of the earliest Chinese emperors, tried large numbers of herbs(草药)and taught people how to use them to treat diseases.
The Taihang Mountain is not only where the ancient stories happened, but also a place where tens of thousands of fossils(化石)were found. 23 At the same time, we can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area.
Nowadays, there are natural forests around the area with beautiful colors in four seasons. 24 In summer, the trees will grow luxuriant(挺拔的)and leaves will cover the sun. In autumn, the trees in Taihang Mountain are tall and leaves turn yellow. In winter, the trees are covered with snow, like a thick white coat. 25
If you need a trip that helps you learn different things about history, culture and other important knowledge, the Taihang Mountain is a great choice for you.
A.It is about 400 kilometers long.
B.These fossils show how the earth has changed over time.
C.A lot of flowers and animals are on Taihang Mountai in spring.

四、任务型阅读
Late last night, I felt very tired and tried to sleep, but I was woken up by a sudden sound and the sound didn’t stop. I couldn’t sleep then I got up to see where the sound came from. I went to the backyard of my house and saw a very bright light in the sky going towards the forest nearby. I felt worried and decided to see what it was. I took my bicycle and followed the light to the forest. Minutes later, I was in front of a huge spaceship.
I was amazed. When I touched it, a wave(冲击波) pushed me away. I could not move my body, but I could still see. I saw a human…no, a monster…Then, I lost consciousness (知觉).
When I woke up, I was in a large cage. I saw other men and women – in nearby cages. They had either passed out(昏倒) or perhaps died. I watched the cage and found a small dirty window. I cleared the window and saw through it. I saw space!
I also saw the earth getting smaller and smaller as we moved away from it. I didn’t know how I got here. Suddenly, a strange creature(生物) caught my attention. He was half-human and half-monster. For sure, he was not a person living on the earth— he was an alien!
The creature was looking at each cage. Suddenly, he appeared in front of my cage. He said something like, “Zoom zappa zew zhumu zam zeus.” I didn’t understand it, but then a loud sound came. It said, “Hello, New Human. We are the Grays.” It was probably the translation of the words that the creature had just said, I guessed.
I felt afraid. “What is the alien going to do to me ” I wondered.
