Touring Cenotes
My parents and I traveled to Mexico to visit my grandparents last summer, and we visited the cenotes (say-NO-tays), the natural swimming holes located on the Yucatán Peninsula. The term "swimming hole" might make you think that cenotes are just average, but cenotes are truly . I had the most exciting experience of my life exploring these wonders of nature.
Thousands of years old, the cenotes formed and created sinkholes underneath. Though the ancient Mayans (玛雅人) used the cenotes as water , people can now swim, dive, take photographs, and admire local trees and life, all through water as clear as liquid diamond.
In Cenote Azul, my parents, my grandparents, and I swam through water that seemed too blue to be real. I countless younger kids diving into the water from a small cliff, but I dared not to jump at first. I finally worked up the courage, and my try instantly put all my worries to rest.
A few days later, we went to Cenote Ponderosa. We stayed in the sun-covered pond, where we floated while others did diving and took underwater photographs. Being surrounded by a valley of trees made everything else in the world seem to disappear.
Grutas de Loltún were definitely the most magnificent of all the cenotes, even though there was no swimming involved. Grutas are caves, and the Grutas de Loltún are among the biggest caves on the entire Peninsula. Our guide, Carolina, walked us through several caves, where we saw many drawings thousands of years old on the cave walls! Just one brief look at those drawings made me feel like I had stepped back in time to a(n) era of history. Our group thought Carolina was joking when she claimed she could make the stalagmites(石笋) sing for us, but when she them, we heard what sounded like the words "Lol" and "Tun"—the name of the caves! I cannot imagine that a(n) played at a concert at Carnegie Hall would have been any better.
Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula is filled with beauty, but the cenotes are a one-of-a-kind opportunity to commune with nature in a way that is impossible anywhere else on Earth, and I would not to do it all again.

Considering how much time people spend in effects, it is important that with A be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation's image. They motivate workers and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , customers. They make business work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture to live in.
As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers come up with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments.” These {#blank#}3{#/blank#} solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.
As employee hierarchies （等级制度）have flattened or decreased, office designers' response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been {#blank#}4{#/blank#} by changes in workstation design. Office and work spaces often are not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new design allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workplace. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by breaking the walls that {#blank#}6{#/blank#} workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places and upgraded employees'{#blank#}7{#/blank#} to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.
Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often {#blank#}8{#/blank#} demands, including budgetary limits, employees hierarchies and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish or possess a company's image and will enable employees to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} and their best.
All these {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like good marriage—the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.
