Amazing landscapes of China’s Xinjiang

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is located in the central part of the Eurasian Continent, on the northwest

border of China. It covers about one-sixth of China’s total territory. Xinjiang was a key link on the Silk Road and a

hub for east-west cultural exchanges in ancient times.

• Attractions in Xinjiang

Karakul Lake

The Karakul is a lake in Akto County along the highway

located 196 km from Kashgar City. Karakul is a

very unusual plateau(高原) lake. In fact, it is the highest lake of the Pamir Plateau, at an altitude of 3,600 m. The

view is breathtaking, thanks to the surroundings, snow-covered mountains and beautiful reflections in the crystal-

clear water.

Tianchi Lake

Tianchi Lake, also known as Heavenly Lake, is located on the northern side of the Bogeda Peak in the

Tianshan mountains. It is 120 km from Urumqi City and only a 90-minute drive, and the center of the Tianchi

scenic area of startling contrasts-an alpine drift lake at an altitude of 1,980 m (6,496 ft) with glistening glaciers on

the mountain peaks nearby when the sun is shining.

Kanas Lake

Kanas Lake is in the Kanas Geopark and is mainly made up of Crouching Dragon Bay, Moon Bay, Immortal

Bay and the interesting mystery of the legendary big red monster fish! The water, surrounded by snow-covered

mountains, decorates the world like a diamond.

• Delicious food in Xinjiang

Xinjiang boasts(自夸)a rich and unique food culture. Breakfast here includes melons, jam and milk tea while

lunch is often served with delicacies featuring beef and mutton, such as roasted whole lamb. Dinner usually entails

Nang, tea or noodles.

• Various products of Xinjiang

Xinjiang specialties include lavender, cotton, tomato, mutton, beef, jujube, and various fruits.

Instead of spending Labor Day weekend at home my uncle decided to make a trip to Ontario

Canada.

After doing a Google search he found a cottage on Nokara Farms in St. Catherines, Canada and that is where we

went.

Cottage we stayed at was located on Nokara Farms. The cottage overlooked Ontario Lake and the view was

exciting. Lying on the couch and looking straight out of the window I could see Ontario Lake.

In the morning of our first day there, we traveled around the farm. I was glad that I hadn’t forgotten to bring

my camera along with me. I was able to take some amazing photographs of the lake and the sunset. In the

afternoon, the owner of the farm took us on a tour of the farmland and then allowed us to pick fruits and vegetables.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is a town in Ontario, Canada and we went to visit it on our second day there. While

walking along the main street, I saw a couple that were dressed up like people from the old days, which was

interesting to see. Another amazing thing that I saw was a monument that listed the names of the people who swam

across Ontario Lake.

I have been to Niagara Falls in the past but I have never visited it in the evening when everything is lit up. In

the evening of our second day there

so majestic, so magical, especially with the fireworks overhead. However,

there were too many people visiting Niagara Falls that night. It was too crowded. It gave me a feeling that

something big was going to happen and that’s when the fireworks started. No wonder so many people came there

that night.

The third day we went home. My trip to Ontario, Canada was an amazing experience that I will never forget. I

definitely want to return there in the future, hopefully in the near future.

4. Why did so many people go to Niagara Falls?

A. It was too hot that night.

b. He travelled around the farm.

c. He went to pick fruits and vegetables.

d. He visited the town called Niagara-on-the-Lake.

A. bcda B. cbad C. cbda D. bcad

6. How does the author most probably think of his time in Canada?

A. Just so-so. B. Amazing. C. Disappointing. D. Tiring.

7. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The author’s time working on a farm.

There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old,

short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it, it

is sign language.

When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone,

you’re saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise

your hand in class, you are saying, “please ask me, I think I know the correct answer.”

Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic

holds up his hands, he is using sign language.

Many years ago, the French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people.

He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with

their hands. And the deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many

countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.

Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the

news in sign language. At the same time, the words appeal on the TV screen.
