Before You Read My perfect beach would be isolated. There would be lush, green cliffs leading down to the blue green water. There would be a lot of marine life and the sun would be shining. Rio de Janeiro ，Brazil The perfect beach I'm standing on Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana beach, one of Brazil's- and the world's- most famous stretches of sand. As I watch life go by here in all its varied forms, I've come to realize that any understanding of Brazil really begins on its beaches. In this vibrant, multicultural country, the beach is not just a place; it's a state of mind a way of thinking and living. stretches v.拉长; 拉紧 A stretch of road, water, or land is a length of it. vibrant adj.充满活力的，生气勃勃的 Something that is vibrant is full of life and energy. state n.状态; 国家 Rio de Janeiro ， 里约热内卢 [巴西] The perfect beach Rio alone, I'm told, has over 70 beaches, each with its own community: Some are for bodybuilders, others are for senior citizens, still others are popular with parents and children. But Rio's beaches are just the starting point for my exploration of Brazil's Atlantic coastline, which- at more than 8,000 kilometers, and with more than 2,000 beaches- is the longest in the world. Every Brazilian has his or her own ideas of the perfect beach and is eager to tell you where to find it. I'm happy to take people's advice, but my ultimate goal is to find my own dream beach. I head to a place said to have some of Brazil's best coastline: the state of Bahia in the northeast. Portuguese settlers established themselves at Bahia's present- day capital, Salvador da Bahia, in 1549. Over the centuries, people of many races have arived and intermarried here, creating a distinctive cultural mix. This mix influences Bahia's language, religion, cuisine, music, and dance. eager v. 渴望的 ; 热切的 ; 渴求的 ultimate adj. 最终的 ; 终极的 ; 最后的 ; intermarried v.近亲结婚 ; 近族通婚 ; intermarry的过去分词和过去式 influences v. 影响 ; 作用 ; The perfect beach I'd been told that one of Bahia's best beaches- Prainha- lies just south of Salvador, near the town of Itacare. On arriving at Prainha's beach, I discover its golden sand lined by a row of perfect palm trees, moving softly in the ocean breeze. Under the moon, silver waves roll onto the sand. As I enter the water, I have the feeling of swimming through moonlight. Prainha's beauty is magnificent -its perfect curves and graceful lines are like something you might see in a postcard. But for me, it's a little too perfect. The beach I'm searching for needs to be a little wilder ... sand n. 沙 ; 沙子; magnificent adj.宏伟的 ; 壮丽的 ; 值得赞扬的 Frigatebirds fly over a beach landscapein Fernando de Noronha , Brazil The perfect beach I continue my search, heading north to one of Brazil's legendary beaches: Jericoacoara. Twenty years ago, only a handful of people were living in Jeri (as it's nicknamed). Today it's an international destination, considered one of the best beach hangouts in the world (especially if you like windsurfing). It attracts visitors from Tokyo to Toronto and has grown from a small village into a lively little town. Despite the changes, Jeri hasn't been spoiled by tourists, mostly because of its isolated location- it's at least five hours from any airport. destination n. 目的地 ; 终点 ; 作为目的地的 hangouts n.常去处，聚集处 ; hangout的复数 A hangout is a place where a particular group of people gather and relax. spoiled v.破坏 ; 宠坏 ; 溺爱 ; 糟蹋 ; spoil的过去分词和过去式 isolated adj.孤立的 ; 单独的 ; 孤独的 ; 偏远的 The perfect beach Everyone in Jeri rents a beach buggy, which comes with a driver. I tell my driver to take me as far along the coast as he can. We drive for three hours, finally arriving at Maceio, a fisherman's beach. Boats lie on their sides while nets hang out to dry on lines between fishermen's houses. We eat on the beach and later rest in hammocks near the table. It's a great day on an amazing beach. How can it possibly get any better? I wonder. But I have one final place to visit. buggy beach 沙滩车 A beach buggy is a small, open car with large wheels made for driving on a beach. hammocks 吊床 A hammock is a piece of strong cloth or netting that is tied between two trees and used as a bed. The perfect beach Of the many beach destinations in this country, there is one that all Brazilians hold in high regard- -the islands of Fernando de Noronha. More than a dozen beautiful beaches ring the island of Fernando alone, three of which rank among the top ten in Brazil. The islands of Fernando de Noronha lie a few hundred kilometers out in the Atlantic. For years, people were prohibited from visiting these islands because they were used as a prison and later by the army. Today the islands are a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, rich with bird and sea life. rank n. 等级 v. 排列 prohibited v.禁止; 阻止; 使不可能; adj.被禁止的; prohibit的过去分词和过去式; The perfect beach I visit a number of beaches on Fernando, but I leave the best one for last. The beach at Praia do Leao is the perfect balance of sand, sea, and sky. The water is pale blue and warm, alive with colorful fish, turtles, and other marine life; the sand is the color of honey. And in the rock formations and strong winds that occasionally come in from the Atlantic, there is that hint of wildness I was seeking. Finally, I've found the beach of my dreams. I dig my toes in the sand deeply and imagine I can hold on to this place forever. balance n.平衡 ; 均衡 ; 天平 ; marine adj. 海的 ; 海生的 Marine is used to describe things related to the sea. Post -Reading Reading Comprehension Reading Comprehension Reading Comprehension Reading Skill Reading Skill The beach I'm searching for needs to be a little wilder. It hasn't been spoiled by tourists. a fisherman's beach more than a dozen beautiful beaches Reading Skill There is a park near my house that I think is too perfect. It has manicured trees and bushes and the paths are paved in straight lines. I would prefer wildflowers and a more natural-looking rocky path. It was beautiful and looked perfect. The phrase too perfect is used to describe a negative point of view. The word too means excessive, or more than necessary. Stewart is looking for something more unusual that is wild in the sense of being more remote and distinctive.
