UNESCO World Heritage Sites were created to celebrate and safeguard the most unique places around the world.

Below are my 4 favorite UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Cinque Terre, Italy

With cars banned here, you’ll really get to feel the unique history and character of the Cinque Terre’s five

centuries-old coastal villages. The breathtaking views of harbors（港口）far below the wild coastline along with the

rich colors will definitely make it a memorable holiday.

Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious（宗教的）monument and it contains impressive remains from the

Khmer Empire（9th to 15th century）. The site has dozens of iconic temples like Ta Prohm（a magnificent temple

ruin hidden in the jungle）. Hosting more than two million visitors annually, this artistic masterpiece is a must-see

site.

Petra, Jordan

Petra’s rock-cut architecture has contributed to its nickname, the Rose City, based on the color of the stone it was

carved from. The delicate constructions of temples and tombs along with the remains of churches and temples are only

a couple of reasons why this world-famous site is a must-visit destination.

Yellowstone National Park, USA

Yellowstone’s vast wilderness includes mountain ranges, lakes and waterfalls. One of the main reasons for

tourists to visit Yellowstone is to observe the amazing wildlife like grizzly bear, bison, bighorn sheep wander the

plains and valleys.

When I handed my daughter a copy of King of the Wind by Marguerite Henry, she looked skeptical. She

reluctantly agreed to read it with me after I told her it was one of my favorite stories when I was her age, and her

skepticism quickly morphed into enthusiasm as she fell in love with the book.

Watching her connect to the story brought back a flood of memories about my first time reading the book. It was

like introducing my daughter to a much younger version of myself. I highly recommend other parents share their

favorite childhood books, a sweet activity with lots of benefits.

Every night, I sit on the end of my daughters’beds and read them the stories I’ve cherished for decades. This

distraction-free time gives my kids the chance to ask questions about the book we’re reading, the “olden days” when I

was a kid, and whatever else is on their minds.

My 9-year-old especially adores this time together and the deeper connection she feels to her family because of

it. Reading her a book that holds significant meaning for me brings us together in a whole new way.

There’s nothing better than watching my kids’ reactions to books I’ve loved my entire life. They chattered with

excitement when Charlie found his golden ticket in Roald Dahl’s classic and pulled the covers over their blushing

faces when Almanzo asked Laura if he could walk her home in the Little House series.

In these moments, it feels like I’m reaching through time and connecting my childhood with theirs.

Every generation has books that define them. For my kids, it’s mostly fantasy and realistic fiction. By reading my

childhood favorites to them, my kids step outside their comfort zones and try new genres, authors, and writing styles.

My 9-year-old didn’t know she loved folklore until we read my favorite collection of Japanese children’s stories

together. My 11-year-old became obsessed with wilderness survival stories when I read Scott O’Dell’s Island of the

Blue Dolphins to her.

When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure（确保）that the aid reaches the people for whom

it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people

in another nation. The United Nations Organization（UNO）could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here

however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men

and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.

More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other

forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I

eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take

care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like

agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is

able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification

plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common

problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of

months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their

homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be

truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.

Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in

these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to

consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the

event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.

28. According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?

A. By solving the cost problems.

B. By solving the transportation problems.

C. By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.

D. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.

29. What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?

A. Providing food is vital. B. Learning to fish is helpful.

C. Teaching skills is essential. D Looking after others is important.

30. Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?

A. A medical team. B. An exchange program.

C. A water plant. D. Financial support.

31. What can we infer about international aid from the passage?

A. It is facing difficulties.

B. It is unnecessary during normal times.

C. It should be given in the form of materials.

D. It has gained support from developed countries.

The curb cut（路缘坡）is a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be

a lot harder—in more ways than one.

Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the
