⒈Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee Jump
The Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world's 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the famous activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it a Guinness World Record as the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go! If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor - it's still remarkable. Grab this chance and tick off this item on your bucket list.
⒉Grab a traditional Portuguese dinner
Macao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply into many corners of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people.
⒊Visit a museum
Macao, as a tiny little city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.
⒋Selfie(自拍) at the Ruins of St. Paul
The Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul's College and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583. However, after three fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. Surprisingly, after the rebuilding and fires, the huge front part and the front stairway remain unburned.
Years ago, I was so confident, and so naive(幼稚的). I was so sure that I was right and everyone else was wrong.
Unfortunately I was lucky and got successful, so that kept me blind to my weak points. I sold my company, felt ready to do something new, and started to learn. But the more I learned, the more I realized how little I knew and how lucky I had been.
I'd start to make things, but then saw how stupid I was, so I stpped. I lost all confidence. I spent a few years completely stuck.
Finally, some new ideas helped:
Learning without doing is wasted. If I don't use what I learn, then it is pointless! How terrible to waste hundreds of hours spent learning, and not turn them into action. Like throwing good food in the trash: it's wrong.
This isn't about me. How I feel in this moment doesn't matter－it will pass. Nobody is judging me, because nobody is thinking of me. They are just looking for things to improve their own life. The public me is not the real me anyway, so if they judge my public personality, that's fine.
The work is the point, and my work is special. If I can do something that people find useful, then I should. It doesn't matter if it's a masterpiece or not, as long as I enjoy it.
So I'm glad my old confidence is gone. Now I aim(以……为目标)to make my work my little contribution to the world－just special and useful.
Xiao Yu is already quite the traveler, having been to Russia a couple of times. She is just 4 years old. However, Yu is no normal tourist, her visits to the Black Sea coastal resort of Sochi being about much more than rest and recreation, for Yu is autistic (自闭的). And in Sochi she has had encounters (遇见) with a very special kind of specialist (专科医生). That specialist - more exactly two of them- is a dolphin, contact with which is said to be beneficial to children like Yu.
Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social communication. In some severe cases autistic children may have trouble learning to speak or make eye contact. However, many children with autism are able to live normal lives. With the help of professional doctors, the children played games with the dolphins and receive treatment.
Dolphin-assisted treatment is not without controversy, there being no scientific evidence of its benefits, even if it is argued that the communicative experience for the children can be of no harm, and animal welfare activists object to the way animals are forced into their role as therapists (治疗师).However, even if Yu's mother is aware of such objections, she talks enthusiastically of the progress she thinks Yu has made since first traveling to Sochi.
That program, in which Chinese children with autism visit Sochi to receive dolphin-assisted treatment, is supported by the government of Sochi and the China Foundation for Disabled Persons. It was first held last October and again in mid-June to July. More than 10 children from China have now visited Sochi to receive dolphin-assisted treatment and have had very positive results, says Anatoly Pakhomov, the mayor of Sochi.
"We hope the Sochi government and China Foundation for Disabled Persons can establish a more stable long-term partnership, and we will continue to provide the necessary assistance and support," Pakhomov said.
Talking to children about disasters
Natural disasters are terrible events. They are difficult for adults and children. But adults should not be afraid to talk to children about natural disasters. But talking can help children feel safer and less afraid of the future. Here are five things adults can do when children show fear of natural disasters.
First, adults should be willing to talk with children. When children are allowed to talk about their fears, they feel safer. Sometimes, the best thing an adult can do is just listen.
Second, When answering their questions, it is best to give short, honest answers. If you do not know the answer, you can be honest and say that you do not know.
Third, it is important to wait until a child is ready to talk about a natural disaster. Adults should not force children to talk.
Fourth, help children feel safe. One way is very simple: adults can tell frightened children that they love them. It is also important for children to do the same things they do every day. Simple things like going to school and eating dinner can help children feel normal.
Fifth, use activities to help children communicate their fears. Heshani was 13 when the Indian Ocean tsunami (海啸) ruined her house in SriLanka. One year later, she was still living under the shadow (阴影) of the natural disaster. She did not like to visit her ruined house. And she did not want to talk about the problems her family had. However, she loved to write. Writing poems was a way for her to share her fears since she did not like to talk about them.
A. let children ask questions.
B. There are many ways to do this.
C. Talking cannot stop natural disasters from happening.
D. learning is of great importance to adults.
E. We should feel safe first.
F. Whatever the fear is, it is important to listen and be patient with the child.
G. And she often shared her feelings about the tsunami in her poems.
When I first saw the Boston Marathon in 1964, I just fell in love with it. I1to be part of it, but I didn't know if I could do it. It was totally outside of the social norm (正常行为) for a woman to be running in those days.
In February, 1966, I sent my2to the Boston Marathon and they wrote back, saying, "Women are not physiologically (生理上) able to run a marathon." When I read the3, I thought if I could prove that this was a4view about women, it was going to5the discussion of what else we thought women could not do. So I took the bus to Boston and got there the day before the6.
When I got to the starting line, I knew the most important thing was that I should not be7. To avoid being arrested or pulled off the course, I had a blue hooded (带风帽的) sweatshirt pulled up over my8with my hair tied back. Then, there was the bang, but I waited until about half the pack left－then I9in.
Even though I was disguised (伪装), the other runners10very quickly that I was a woman. Fortunately, they were very11. I told them that I was12I would be thrown out if officials saw that I was a woman. But they said, "We won't let that13. It's a free road." That's when I14the hooded sweatshirt and everyone could see I was a woman. Then people went15. They started shouting and clapping, "Way to go, girlie!"
Finally I ran into Boston and16the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes.
I went back to Boston and ran17in 1967 and 1968. I hope to be a(n)18of someone who follows what they19and what they're good at. I think everyone came to this world to20something.
Grand Canyon National Park recently turned 100 years old. The (nature) wonder in northern Arizona became one of America's early national parks in 1919. A century later, about 6 million people a year visit the park, is about the size of the state of Delaware.
Native tribes (部落) had many names for the huge canyon. But in 1869, (explore) John Wesley Powell gave it a name that stuck: the Grand Canyon. The canyon isn't the world's longest or deepest. But it surely is grand. It offers beautiful views.
The canyon itself is far (old) than the park. No one knows exactly old the canyon is. The rocks the bottom are about 1.8 billion years old.
Humans first came to the area about 12,000 years ago. They left behind a large number of stone tools. For the past century, tools (make) from small sticks (find) in some of the canyon's caves.
Plenty of animals live in the park. Desert bighorn sheep are largest animals in the Grand Canyon. (measure) 300 pounds, they climb over the rocks. The park is home to almost 375 kinds of birds and a few living things that can be found nowhere else.
I was a single mother of four children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always valuable, but we had a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our backs. I always tell myself to be brave and strong, just for my four children. I hope all my efforts would be worthwhile, as long as my children can grow up healthily. It was Christmas time. We drove downtown to see the Christmas lights, and enjoyed a special dinner, but the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping at the mall. This was a tradition of my family, so they all looked forward to the coming of the season. They talked and planned for weeks ahead of time, asking each other what they wanted for Christmas.
The big day arrived and we started out early. I gave each other of the four kids a twenty-dollar bill and asked them to search for gifts. Then everyone scattered(分散开) with the bill. I sat at a table in a cafe waiting for my children and enjoying an instant of silence. It must be a happy day.
Back in the car driving home, everyone was excited about Christmas, laughing and asking each other about what they had bought. I noted Ginger, my younger daughter had only one small and flat bag with her. I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars－fifty-cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty –dollar bill I had given her? I was so angry. After getting home, I called her into my bedroom and closed the door. I couldn't hold back my anger and shouted at her, “What about the rest of the money? No one would be convinced all these candies are worth 20 dollars. What do you want to do with the rest of the money?”
