Four Winter Spots
Here are four spots around the world worth a winter trip.
Christmas Island, Australia
On Christmas Day of 1643, Captain William Mynors sailed past this tropical(热带的) island 224 miles south of Java and named it, of course, “Christmas”. Consisting of rainforest, sand beaches, coral reefs and one oceanic mountain, two thirds of this 52 square mile island is a national park, home to pipistrelles, flying foxes, endangered seabirds and sea turtles. Many of the 2,000 local people celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year every year.
Quito, Ecuador
In Quito, the sun always sets at six. As the second biggest city in Ecuador and the second highest capital in the world, Quito makes a convenient access point to the Amazon Rainforest, the thrill seekers' paradise. In only three hours, travellers can travel from the best preserved historical city centre in Latin America to the land of giant tortoises, lava lizards and blue footed boobies.
Sun Peaks, Canada
Snowshoeing, dogsledding and storm watching all make British Columbia a favourite winter destination. But if you're planning on skiing, ski biking or snow limo riding, please head for Sun Peaks, Canada's second largest ski area.
Lijiang, China
A winter trip to the southwest Chinese province of Yunnan promises mild, dry and sunny weather—excellent conditions for skiing on the trails of China's highest ski resort, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Home to plenty of wildlife and 400 types of trees, the mountain is located about 10 miles from the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town of Lijiang, an important centre for the fascinating Naxi people whose 1,000 year old Dongba characters are the only living pictographic(象形文字的) writing system worldwide today.

Train travel is becoming more popular.Amtrak, the US national railroad passenger company, reports that the number of passengers continues to grow each year. The passenger kilometres and the number of passenger journeys are also increasing. There's every reason to believe train travel will continue to attract more passengers as fuel prices climb.
As you plan your vacation, you'll need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of train travel. Here are some things that you need to keep in mind.
Train travel is fast and direct between major cities, especially in countries with high speed trains.It's relatively easy to book a train trip.

However, train schedules may not match your preferred travel time and date, so you might have to change your trip. This is especially true for long distance train travel in the US. You may have to get off the train at midnight at a small station in an empty town in order to make a train connection.
You need to bring your own food and drink onto the train as the food and drink served on trains can be expensive.Conditions on the train may be crowded, dirty or uncomfortable, especially during busy travel periods.
In the end, you'll need to do some research on train ticket prices, check schedules against your own plan and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of train travel against your personal preferences.

五、七选五
I love diving into science at home, and I often imagine the perfect day— filled with amazing experiments that I could conduct to my heart's content. _____1___When an experiment doesn't work well or is contradictory to my initial assumptions, I don't throw in the towel(放弃). Instead, I always find ways to turn my failed experiment into solid learning experience.
There are countless instructional videos online for almost every experiment. After watching a video, I give it another go— this time with a clearer game plan. If it's still not working, I won't get frustrated.__2___ I would see if the video provided enough explanation to help complete my Activity Sheets, and then allow myself to move on.
Rescheduling the experiment for several days in a row with a light- hearted“better luck next time” attitude is my typical response to a failed experiment. I take the time to gather better materials if needed, double-check my guide, and work through the experiment a few times. ___3____
I also remind myself that I'm not alone on this journey. There are plenty of outstanding scientists and inventors in history who had to overcome multiple failures before making significant breakthroughs(突破). So I spend time researching famous science fails. ____4____I even write down quotes of inspiring scientists and inventors and hang them on the wall to encourage me.
____5___Life itself is about the journey, and working through problems is a key part of learning to enjoy it to the fullest. It is your struggles and failures that enable you to achieve growth. So the next time you have a science fail, try some of these ideas to turn it into a life lesson!
A. You don't have to be a gifted scientist.
B. I know they are just abstract concepts.
C. Above all, science requires critical thinking.
D. However, not every experiment turns out as expected.
