Amsterdam Destination Guide

Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel desnaons in the world, famous for its

beauful canals top art museums, cycling culture and so on. It is the capital and most populous city

in the Netherlands and oen referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its expansive

system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to

Amsterdam.

Boom Season Population Language(s) Currency January Climate July Climate

May to October 813,562 Dutch Euro Average high: 5.8°C Average high:

22.0°C

Must-See Attractions

Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional

architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s

Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and

having a picnic in the Vondel park. The top museums to visit there are the Rijks museum, the Ann

Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum.

If You Have Time

There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam, and you should try to explore as many of

them as time allows. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to

attract wealthy home owners and is a center for celebrity spotting and nightlife today. The Plantage

area has most of the city’s museums, including the Jewish Historical Museum, the Scheepvaart

Museum, and the botanical gardens.

Money Saving Tips

Unless you really want to see the tulips (郁金香) blooming, avoid booking between mid-March

and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.

Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are generally cheaper

than in the city center.

Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.

Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a

special point of view of the city.

you book.

“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together, don’t normally paint the most

harmonious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an

airport that is for birds.

Described as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary( 保护区)

in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course, not an actual airport. Rather, it’s a wetland

preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and

landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Over 50 species of

migratory( 迁徙的 ) water birds, some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary

before continuing their long journey along the flyway.

Located on a former landfill site, the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a

million visitors are expected annually.) However, instead of duty-free shopping, the main attraction

for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport will be a green-roofed education and

research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and

cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.

“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory

bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an

Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so

thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city—China’s fourth most populous—that would

certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs.

4. The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to?

A. Designers. B. Visitors. C. Endangered water birds. D. Planes.

5. What do we know about the airport according to the passage?

A. It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.

B. It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.

C. It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.

D. People cannot watch birds up close here.

A. Tianjin’s air quality will improve thanks to the airport.

B. Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.

C. The airport will become a permanent home for birds.

D. Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.

7. What is this passage mainly about?

A. Airports shut down and open up. B. Airports turn into green lungs.

C. China is to open the first Bird Airport. D. Birds are no longer enemies to airports.

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking,

texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the

number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name —

phubbers(低头族).

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group

of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury

themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty

woman takes selfie(自拍照)in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without

knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the

destruction of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the

first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could

damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks

after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your

eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from

your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell

phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu

Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death,

suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

8. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?

A. To advertise the cartoon made by students.

B. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.

C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.

D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.

9. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?

A. His social skills could be affected.

B. He will cause the destruction of the world.

C. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.

D. He might get separated from his friends and family.

10. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A. Objective.

B. Supportive.

C. Optimistic.

D. Opposed.

11. What may the passage talk about next?

A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.

B. People who are addicted to phubbing.

C. The possible consequences of phubbing.

D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.

Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a devastating effect on the

ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures

living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the
