The world is filled with beautiful winter wonderland destinations that are worthy of a visit. Here are a few to help you get your winter vacation research started.
Salt Lake City, Utah
Salt Lake City, Utah is a perfect spot for skiing. Apart from skiing, you can visit Temple Square, the city’s most popular site for tourists. The Mormon Church is open to visitors all year round. They often host free family—friendly movies, plays and music events, making it a great place to find more information about other happenings in Salt Lake City.
Portland, Maine
New England is a great vacation destination any time of the year. The hotel prices are often lower during the winter months because it is considered off—season as tourists generally gather here during the summer and early fill. So if you are looking for a place to get good value for your winter vacation dollars, put Portland, Maine on your list of go—to spots.
Whistler, British Columbia
Whistler, British Columbia is located about 60 miles north of Vancouver. It is particularly favored for its ski season that starts during the third week of November and lasts through April. Whistler has been named on several international “best of” lists. So if you want to go skiing and you are ready to explore Canada’s Coast Mountain Range, then you should look into Whistler vacation rentals（出租）.
Planning your winter wonderland getaway is easy if you know where to look. You don’t have feel like you have to go to a hot, overpriced destination during the winter months. Plenty of snowy, fun—filled destinations will welcome you warmly.

“Are you going to Seattle?” an anxious—looking woman asked a female traveler at the Amtrak Station in Sacramento. “No, I’m going to Eugene,” the traveler replied. “Oh, I was hoping you could watch out for my daughter, she’s never been on a train before.”
Since I am a seasoned train traveler, I know that seats and cars are assigned by destination. So I approached the woman and her frightened—looking daughter and told them that her daughter could sit with me and that I would take care of her for the duration of the journey.
The train had arrived 25 minutes late, and people rushed to get their seat assignments. The conductor wanted to know if there were people traveling together, so I pushed my way to the front of the line with the girl and we were arranged to sit next to each other. Once on board, I showed her where to put her luggage, and took her to the bathroom area. We settled down to sleep. In the morning, she became comfortable enough to do what most 15—year olds do; talk and text on her mobile phone.
Throughout the trip, I made sure she picked up her ID, which had fallen out of her backpack, and generally kept an eye on her in a non—intrusive way. I hope someone takes her under their wing when she flies (another anxiety—producing first) back to Sacramento.
I do hope that kindness will spread around the world through these ways. We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolved（旋转）around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one. 24. Where was the author going by train? A. Seattle
B. Eugene.
C. Sacramento.
D. Amtrak.
25. Why did the author push to the front of the line? A. To get his seat assignment. C. To help the girl find her seat. 26. What can be learnt from the text?

B. To get a seat in the front.
D. To ask for the two seats next to each other.
A. The girl has never travelled by air before. B. The girl has never been to Seattle before.
C. The mother and daughter have never taken the train before. D. The girl was too nervous to do nothing alone throughout the trip. 27. What does the author’s story intend to tell us? A. Experience is the best teacher. B. You never know till you have tried. C. Happiness lies in giving help to others. D. Do something good even though it may be tiny.
C
It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon Rain Forest. Without it we would not have grown into primates（灵长类动物）. Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn’t have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.
Friendship, like all relationship between two people, involves competition. It isn’t competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition — the simultaneous（同时的）demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light — better explain it.
As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin’s theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing（分类）take place. In high school, friendships learn to co—exist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstances, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student’s fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.
Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to school work. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy（妒忌）can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.
28. What does the ecological definition mainly explain? A. How friends compete with each other.

B. How to win the competition.
