My Northern Lights tourism 我的北极光之旅 1It's getting close to midnight, and close to my destination—mile marker 133 on Alaska's Glenn Highway, where I'm on the road to fulfilling a lifelong dream.I'm going to see the Northern Lights. 2I am Scott's only client tonight who is a professional photographer and videographer interested to come out here to witness one of nature's most spectacular shows and to share it with others. “I can't tell you how much joy I get from seeing the smile on people's faces. That's worth it right there.That's the reason I do tours,” he says. 3I emerge from the van into minus 6 degrees. A bazillion stars sparkle (闪烁), and the Milky Way pours overhead. What looks like a gray stream of cloud arcs low over the horizon. “That's it!” says Scott. Really? That's it? I spent 13 hours in planes and airports,and then drove 2.5 hours to see a gray streak? “Patience,” he says. “It will get better. Wait till 2 am. That's usually the best time.” 4Aurora tourism is combined with winter activities like ice fishing, snow machine rides, and hot springs.As aurora guides and scientists will tell you, there's no guaranteeof a sighting.But Fairbanks is a statistically good bet because of its northern location and freedom from coastal clouds, which can be a challenge for Anchorage. Travelers are recommended to put aside at least three nights to improve their chances of viewing, with the idea that they'll be up much of the night each time. 5Each time Scott wakes me and I step outside, it appears more glorious. At first, a honeydew fuzz skitters along the horizon. Another time, a broad green line stretches across the sky, anchored by a short tail. “Do you see the red?” Scott asks. He has me look through his camera. It can see more color than the naked eyes (肉眼). Finally, as if playing a visual symphonic tune, a giant line of phosphorous (发磷光的) green seems to swoop down to the treetops and dollop them with a curlicue swirl. I'm smiling inside and out. We can go now. Reading Check 1. What makes Scott like to do aurora tourism? A. The good income. B. The happiness of tourists. C. The joy of enjoying the Northern Lights. D. The chance to meet foreign visitors. 2. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A. He/She feels very angry. B. He/She is very doubtful. C. He/She is a little disappointed. D. He/She loses his/her patience. 3. Why is Fairbanks an ideal place to enjoy the Northern Lights? A. It is located in the Arctic Circle. B. It offers visitors three nights for free. C. It has winter activities for travelers. D. It is really free from coastal clouds. 4. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The beauty of the Northern Lights. B. The cause of the Northern Lights. C. The shapes of the Northern Lights. D. The disappearance of the Northern Lights. Language Study Ⅰ.

French traveler in China's Huangshan 法国游客在中国黄山 1After walking for nearly 10 kilometers by China's Huangshan Mountain,and just as he was on the verge of giving up, Phil Lecomte caught sight of a beautiful village. This moment took place 15 years ago, when the Frenchman traveled to a small town at the foot of the mountain with his camera and backpack. 2In 1999, Lecomte traveled to China for the first time. He has since traveled to China almost yearly, as the owner of an antique business in France. He says that the vast lands and beautiful scenery of China, including mountains, rivers, ancient villages and terraced fields, are things he never forgets. 3In 2009, he traveled to Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province, a place that changed his life. As a World Heritage Site and world geological park, the mountain is famous for its five wonders: oddly shaped pines, rock formations, seas of clouds, hot springs and winter snow. 4Lecomte lived in Tunxi District at the foot of Huangshan Mountain for three months.Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the district is famous for its Huizhou culture street that has a history of hundreds of years. Huizhou culture is a unique regional culture that is richly varied, and includes aspects of traditional Chinese science and technology, education, opera and architecture. 5“I didn't want to leave here anymore. I wanted to change my life and be a dreamer like I was when I was a child,” Lecomte said. His trip to China turned into a long-term stay.In 2012, Lecomte became a tour guide. Unlike other guides, he rarely takes his guests—mostly foreigners to the most popular attractions. Instead, he searches for unknown scenery in the surrounding area. He said he often hikes or rides a motorcycle with his friends, away from the hustle and bustle, to find hidden scenery scattered around Huangshan Mountain. 6Sometimes, he also travels with his Chinese tour guide friends.“It's very interesting that even at the scenic spots that they have visited countless times, they have never been to the places I take them to,”Lecomte said.Now, he also shares the beautiful moments he captures on his camera on Chinese social media, like images of an old man sitting by the river reading a book against the sunset, or children running around an ancient village waving colorful fish lanterns. Reading Check 1. When did Lecomte first travel to China? A. In 1999. B. In 2009. C. 13 years ago. D. 15 years ago. 2. What was Lecomte's profession in France? A. Photographer. B. Tour guide. C. Backpacker. D. Antique business owner. 3. What inspired Lecomte to stay in China longer than he planned? A. The opportunity to work as a tour guide. B. The desire to change his life and live like a dreamer. C. Hiking or riding a motorcycle with his Chinese friends. D. Finding hidden scenery scattered around Huangshan Mountain. 4. How does Lecomte differ from other tour guides? A. He only takes guests to popular attractions. B. He works exclusively with foreign tourists. C. He never travels with Chinese tour guide friends. D. He prefers exploring unknown scenery with his guests. Language Study Ⅰ. Difficult sentence in the text It's very interesting that even at the scenic spots that they have visited countless times, they have never been to the places I take them to. 非常有趣的是，即使是在他们去过无数次的景点，他们也从来没有去过我带他们去的地方。 【点石成金】本句中，It作形式主语；第二个that引导定语从句，在从句中作宾语；I take them to是一个省略了that的定语从句。 Ⅱ.
