Frequently Asked Questions for Yellowstone National Park
How much is the entrance fee?
$35 - Private, non-commercial vehicle;
$30 - Motorcycle or snowmobile (winter)
$20 - Visitors 16 and older entering by foot, bike, ski, etc.
* This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National
Parks.
Where should we stay?
Your decision may depend on how much time you have and what you want to see the most. If you plan on
visiting Yellowstone National Park for only a few days and want to experience some of the main attractions then
West Yellowstone would be a good base. From there, it is a short drive to the geyser basins, Old Faithful and the
Grand Canyon. If you want to have the full park experience then perhaps lodging at Old Faithful would be a
good choice. If you want to view the most wildlife, then we suggest the Northeast Entrance. The South Entrance
is a great option if you have more time and want to visit Grand Teton National Park; however it is a longer drive
to the heart of Yellowstone if you base out of Jackson. The North Entrance is park headquarters and has the most
historic information on the park.
When is the best time to visit the park?
This depends on what your interests are. Spring has abundant wildlife, roaring waterfalls and wild weather.
Summer has it all including the most crowds, so you’d better get out early and eat your breakfast on the road!
Fall is a special time of year. Everything seems to be diminishing including the crowds. Winter is a time of being
a bit of social isolation. In years past it was more “economical” to visit most of the park. Now it is more
restricted unless you can afford a snow-coach or guided snowmobile tour.
Can I get Cell and Wi-Fi?
Free public Wi-Fi is available at Al-bright Visitor Center and at some park lodges for registered guests. Cell
service is extremely limited, with reception only available in or near major developed areas. In summer, service
is often maxed out in these areas.
Yet, it is sad to see the latest generation fade away from normal everyday activities and conversation. Get
out, look around, admire the wonders. There’re plenty of natural and human distractions around every corner.
The last thing we want to do is divert visitors from Yellowstone’s wonders especially while driving.

For most people, graduation is an exciting day the celebration of years of hard work. My graduation day... was
not.
I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to watch our
class walk across that stage. But like everyone else in my graduating class, I had watched the economy turn from
bad to worse. What I thought would take a week dragged into two. and then four, and 100 job applications later, I
found myself in the exact same spot as 1 was before. And the due date to begin paying back my student loans was
creeping ever closer.
You know that feeling when you wake up and you are just consumed with fear? Fear about something you
can't control—that sense of approaching failure that remains over you as you hope that everything that happened to
you thus far was just a bad dream? That feeling became a constant in my life. And the most frustrating part was no
matter how much 1 tried, 1 just couldn't seem to make any progress.
So what did I do to maintain my sanity（理智）？ I wrote. Something about putting words on a page made
everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter. Something about writing gave me hope. And if you want
something badly enough... sometimes a little hope is all you need! So I channeled my frustration into a children's
book. And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world — just a lol of hard
work and perseverance—I was offered a publishing contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to
fall into place. 1 was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with The Walt Disney
Company and was hired shortly after.
The moral of this story is... don't give up. Even if things look bleak now, don't give up. Things change If you
work hard, give it time, and don't give up, things will always get better Oftentimes all we need is the courage to
push beyond the river.
4. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that the author probably.
A. was having an exciting graduation

C. missed the life in the university
D. had just applied for the student loans
5. How did the author change the frustrating situation?
A. By sending applications. B. By offering contracts.
C. By keeping writing. D. By publishing books.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "bleak" in the last paragraph?
A. unattractive B. hopeless
C. thrilling D. promising
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Success belongs to the persevering.
B. A contented mind is a perpetual（长久的）feast.
C. A smooth sea never makes a skillful mariner.
D. Misfortunes tell us what fortune is.
C
Walking over water might sound unbelievable. In fact, people do it all the time. How? Almost all of the
world’s liquid fresh water that is called groundwater lies underground.
Earth is a water planet, but most of its water is in the oceans. Only about 2.5 percent of the planet’s water is
fresh water, of which nearly 69 percent is frozen in glaciers ( 冰 川 ) and ice caps and about 30 percent is
groundwater-much more than the 1.2 percent that flows through rivers and fills lakes.
Groundwater is found almost everywhere on Earth. It hides under mountains, plains and even deserts. Tiny
