Hello,I'm Xiaohe.Today, I am going to introduce a photographer's awesome journey to everyone of you.The photographer was enrolled in a winter camp and on a freezing cold day,he boarded the train bound for a harbour city.The anticipated arrival time was six in the evening.Drawing back the curtain,he was astonished to see misty clouds floating on the peak of a massive mountain.Contrary to his initial belief,what he considered boring on the train proved to be one of the highlights of the trip.With the train thundering on,he reached the destination at dusk.Spectacular scenery and pleasant fresh air literally took his breath away.Tall buildings of glass and steel arose everywhere.He was attracted by the exceptional advertisements in the shopping mall,selling crafts,antiques and bunches of flowers.

坐火车看“真北方”:温哥华与加拿大腹地
李黛予和表妹刘倩前往加拿大探望居住在大西洋海岸哈利法克斯市的表兄妹。她们没有一路乘坐商业航班,而是决定先飞到温哥华,然后再乘坐火车。一想到可以坐火车横穿整个国家,姐妹俩就激动不已。
出发前,她们在温哥华待了两天,欣赏当地风光。第一天,温哥华一如往常细雨蒙蒙。尽管天气不佳,她们仍然泛舟驶入海湾,接着游览了一座岛屿。岛上有精致的店铺,出售手工艺品和古董。第二天,天气晴朗,温度适宜,她们看到壮美的群山俯瞰着整座城市,甚是欣喜。随后,她们在不远处的森林中徒步旅行,十分惬意。
次日清晨,两个女孩早早起床,登上开往路易斯湖的火车,穿越加拿大落基山脉。从车窗往外望去,加拿大巍峨的山脉和辽阔的森林尽收眼底。火车到站后,她们乘坐出租车前往路易斯湖。那里湛蓝的湖水美丽异常,摄人心魄。住了一夜之后,她们乘坐长途汽车,向北穿过加拿大落基山脉,直达贾斯珀。望着眼前的美景,两人一致认为这是她们所经历过的最棒的一次旅行。除了欣赏壮丽的山峰和森林,旅程的亮点之一是能看到种类繁多的动物,如鹿、山羊,甚至还有一只灰熊和一只老鹰。
在贾斯珀,她们坐上了开往多伦多的火车。火车的头几站中有一站是埃德蒙顿,这是阿尔伯塔的省会,也是加拿大庞大的油气开采业中心。埃德蒙顿冬季十分寒冷,日平均气温为零下10摄氏度。由于天寒地冻,不适合户外活动,因此埃德蒙顿拥有众多大型购物中心。事实上,北美最大的购物中心之一就在埃德蒙顿。
火车从埃德蒙顿出发,向东南方行驶,一路穿越加拿大大草原。 黛予和刘倩在学校学过,加拿大的人口才刚过3 700万。但两人还是未曾料想能看到如此辽阔的国度,真是惊叹不已。她们穿越两个种植小麦的省份,看到一片片广阔的农场。
她们在火车上又度过了一天,最终回到了都市区域——温尼伯市。 从该市出发,她们连夜前行,从梦乡中醒来时,火车已抵达森林和湖泊密布的安大略省。火车继续轰隆隆地向前行驶,穿过绵延的群山。窗外的灌木丛和枫树林呈红色、金色和橘黄色,地面盖着一层霜, 表明加拿大已进入秋季。夜幕再次降临,火车转向南行,开往多伦多。次日清晨,她们醒来, 拉开车窗窗帘, 辽阔的休伦湖映入眼帘。休伦湖是安大略省南部边境的四大湖之一。上午九点半, 她们终于抵达安大略的省会多伦多。从温哥华到多伦多,她们的旅行总共历时四天。

(2025·福建福州检测)The health benefits of being outdoors are well documented in many reports.But while people with disabilities can benefit from being in nature, they are often stopped from taking part in outdoor activities.
Paul Martin is an online gamer, who uses a wheelchair.He has met this unfairness firsthand on a trip to Yosemite National Park.“What I could do, where I could go, was extremely limited,” he says.
According to a Bureau of Transportation Statistics report, 3.6 million Americans with disabilities seldom plan a trip to a national park.That's where new video games, with a focus on the outdoors, can help homebound (足不出户的) travelers.
Valerie Johnson loves the outdoors.Next on her list is a trip to Walden Pond, in Massachusetts.But the 27yearold Texan won't need a plane ticket; all she'll need is a video game.Johnson recently got a serious disease, which makes travel—particularly outdoors—almost impossible.Luckily, Johnson has found a gateway through video games.She logs on (登录) to Walden, A Game, an “open world” where she can explore writer Henry David Thoreau's woodland.
Today, millions of people log on to video games.The number grows noticeably as more people like to stay at home.
Tourism organizations are noticing this popularity and turning tourist destinations into games.Recently, the European Union funded the development of 40 games at sites in eight destinations.
Increasing accessibility is an ongoing process—and a challenge—in nature tourism.Organizations like Disabled Hikers are encouraging nature sites to make paths more welcoming for travelers with different abilities.
Balancing environmental protection with accessibility is not always easy.“I worry that if you start adding ramps (坡道), lifts, and other structures, you can lose what makes that place special or you may damage the environment,” says Martin.“Even though I would be one of the ones limited, I feel it's more important to preserve as much of nature as possible.”
In the meantime, video games are helping to bridge the gap.“Games are my window to the world,” says Martin.

(2025·四川成都检测)“For thousands of years, humans have raced to be the first to scale a peak, cross a frontier or document a new species or landscape.Now, in some cases, we're racing to be the last,” said The New York Times' Paige McClanahan.
In recent years, a growing industry has been spurred on (刺激) by climate change—lastchance tourism.According to Eco Sustainable Solutions, a UKbased organic recycling and waste processing company, lastchance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last of something due to climate change.As temperatures and water levels rise, this could mean seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking.
As millions of tourists rush to imperiled destinations, some are taking advantage of the increased demand to spread environmental awareness.One tourist spot, Charmonix's Mer de Glace or “Sea of Ice” in France, opened an exhibit in 2012 to educate visitors on glaciers and climate change.This educational push seems to be having an impact, as a 2020 survey showed that 80 percent of the visitors would “try to learn more about the environment and how to protect it” while 77 percent said they would reduce their water and energy use.
However, the lastchance tourism industry may also be harmful.As more and more people flock (蜂拥) into these areas in a panic to see them before they're gone, they in fact contribute to the increased greenhouse gas emissions and overtourism, leading to their destruction.
Many scholars are calling lastchance tourism a paradox (悖论).Although tourists may acknowledge the broader risks and importance of climate change, it's even more important to connect the responsibility of the individual tourism to climate change.
