                        Four Special U.S. National Parks

Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky

This national park has the longest cave system in the world. That’s why it’s a good fit for the name “Mammoth” (a kind of big ancient elephant). If you love adventures, this is the perfect place for you. There are about 400 miles of caves and tunnels to explore. One of the most popular spots inside the caves is called Frozen Niagara. It’s a special part of the caves that looks like a waterfall stuck in time.

Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida

This park is one of the least-visited national parks in the U.S. But it’s still one of the best national parks in Florida. No one can deny how beautiful Dry Tortugas National Park is. It’s about 70 miles from Key West. The park is made of several small islands. These islands have clear blue water, white-sand beaches, and colorful sea animals. There’s also Fort (堡垒) Jefferson here — a famous old fort. It’s one of the biggest forts from the 1800s in U.S. history.

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

If you want to see interesting red and pink rocks. Bryce Canyon is the best choice. This national park is famous for its amazing rock shapes and hoodoos (柱状岩石). It also has beautiful starry skies at night. Some great places to visit in the park are the Natural Bridge, Fairyland Canyon, and any of the spots where you can see great views of the park.

Death Valley National Park. California and Nevada

This is the hottest and driest national park in the U.S. But it also has beautiful desert views and strange natural things. For example, there are “sailing stones” on the Racetrack Playa (赛马场盐湖). Big stones seem to move by themselves on the ground. The weather here can be very extreme, depending on where you are in the park. You can find snowy mountains, dry deserts, colorful flower fields, and cool lakes here. You might also know it from the first Star Wars movie — it was used as the planet Tatooine.

For my 56th birthday, my daughter, Beth, bought me two beautifully carved wooden butterflies. I hung them in prominent (显眼的) places on my walls so that I can see them often during the day. Each time I do so, they give me a wonderful reminder of love.

My daughter and my love of butterflies goes back many years. After a long battle against cancer, my mom passed away when I was only 25 years old. Beth was only a baby at the time and never got to have any memories of her grandma. I tried to make up for it by telling her stories of my mom but each time I did, I could see that there was a little sadness in Beth’s eyes. One day when she was only seven or so we were outside at the playground. Beth suddenly said how much she saddened not having her grandma around. Well, sometimes I comforted her and this time I told her how much her grandma loved her and that Grandma still remained positive in the last weeks of her life. I said she was watching over her from Heaven and that maybe she was even hitching (搭乘) a ride on the back of a butterfly to come down and get a closer look. At that very moment, a butterfly appeared flying around Beth’s face and then flew away. We both laughed with our hearts full of love and joy.

Since that moment all of those years ago, both Beth and I seem to attract butterflies like flowers. Whenever we are outside, they seem to fly down, circle around us, take a good look, and then fly away. And every time, we are reminded of my mom’s love watching over us. The only time this doesn’t happen is during the coldest months of the year when there are no insects of any kind. But now during those times I can take a look at the two beautiful wooden butterflies my daughter bought me and still be reminded of that love.

24．Why did Beth buy wooden butterflies?

A．To celebrate the new year.

B．To decorate her bedroom.

C．To remind her childhood.

D．To celebrate her mother’s birthday.

25．Which of the following can best describe the author’s mom?

A．Tough and optimistic.

B．Enthusiastic and helpful.

C．Independent and reliable.

D．Knowledgeable and respectable.

26．How did Beth feel when a butterfly flew around her face?

A．Terrified. B．Confused. C．Joyful. D．Nervous.

27．What does the author intend to tell us through the story?

A．Wooden butterflies are of great artistic value.

B．We all need reminders that we are loved in our life.

C．It is difficult to maintain family ties during difficult times.

D．The presence of parents is important to children’s development.

For many, Chinese characters seem like complex(复杂的) symbols. However, Lena, a 20-year-old American college student, views them in a unique way. To her, each character has its own story. She pictures “ren” (person) as a cat’s face, and “ceng” (once) as an angry robot.  

Lena gained popularity when she spent only 30 minutes drawing “ceng” and posted it on Rednote (or Xiaohongshu). Amazingly, this simple drawing got 40,000 likes overnight. Now, her creative artworks raise discussions about language, art, and cultural exchange.  

Growing up in a diverse (多元的) community with many Asians, Lena was surrounded by different languages and cultures. “As a child, I had Chinese friends. I was attracted by seeing their names on lunch boxes. This language was so new to me, completely different from Western languages,” Lena
