Book1 Unit 6 课文美句
1. Imagine mountains wrapped in silver water, shining in the spring sun. Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice. During autumn, these same mountains are gold, and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost. These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces.(首段)
2. These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people, to whom Guangxi is home.
3. Reaching as far as the eye can see, these terraces cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the very top.
4. So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into terraces?
5. Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice.
6. Secondly, although the region has plenty of rain, the mountains are steep and the soil is shallow. The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.
7. But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed, with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other.
8. During the rainy season, it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces.
9. These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish, some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops.
10. Although modern technology could help produce more crops, these terraces still mean a lot to the local people for whom traditions hold much value.
11. This knowledge is passed down through families, which means that new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces.
12. Today, the Longji Rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors who come to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.
13. Among the many beautiful treasures people can receive from nature are natural dyes. The most common natural source from which natural dyes come is plants.
14. The reasons for which they prefer natural dyes are that the colours are brighter and can be kept longer.
15. Natural dyes are also becoming more popular with consumers for whom caring for the environment is a priority.
16. Located off the coast of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the biggest structure made by living organisms.
17. Part of the Colorado River Basin, the Grand Canyon is a valley that is almost two kilometres deep.
18. Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall in the world.
19. These two countries are joined by the Channel Tunnel, a rail tunnel with a length of about 50 kilometres, most of which is under the sea.
20. I’m now back in the hotel after a fantastic day exploring Huangguoshu National Park.
21. The walls of the houses have a lot of holes in them to allow wind to pass through.
22. In the Arctic, the temperature can reach as low as —70°C.
23. Very soon after this, homes with gardens began to be built. This is what started the British love of gardening!
24. Today, millions of Brits like to say that they have “green fingers”, with around half the population spending their free time gardening.
25. And while many Brits like nothing better than spending their Sunday cutting the grass, some are happy just to sit under the branches of the trees and enjoy the beauty of the world around them.
26. But in cities, limited space has led to people looking for new solutions. Those without outside space can rent small pieces of land on which to grow things.
27. Today, there are over 4,000 people in London waiting for such pieces of land. One recent idea has been to turn rooftops and walls into private gardens.
28. As well as being good for the environment, gardening is also good for the soul.
29. What other free-time activity allows you to be at one with nature and create more beautiful living things?
30. And if you’re in any doubt about this, take a moment to reflect on this line from The Secret Garden: “Where you tend a rose... A thistle cannot grow.”
——When there are beautiful and positive ideas in our minds, we will feel fulfilled, and won’t be easily influenced by negative thoughts and ideas.
31. With pleasant flavours and scents, and coming in a variety of colours, fruit and herbal teas make a nice change to traditional teas.
32. However, recent years have seen more and more unusual flavours come onto the market.
33. Many people enjoy herbal tea because it can have a positive effect on energy levels.
