世界之大，无奇不有。在广州这个繁华的大都市里，也隐藏着一座奇妙的动物园。这座动物园便是名声在外的长隆野生动物园。

动物园的北门口，矗立着三只高大的长颈鹿，仿佛在述说一场关于动物的奇幻之旅。

走进这片神奇的土地，仿佛进入了一片与世隔绝的大森林，湖里的天鹅优雅地望着我们，清风与阳光结伴，与树梢构成了一副美丽的“风景画”。

步入侏罗纪森林，不时传来恐龙的低吼，凹凸不平的路上布满了恐龙的脚印，让人们渐渐恐慌起来。突然，一个巨大的面庞悄悄出现在拐角处，它低声嘶吼着，张着血盆大口。人们先是一惊，后又反应过来，原来这是仿真的。

走出阴森恐怖的侏罗纪森林，我们来到了两只动物明星“Coco”和“六毛”的幼儿园。园内十分温馨，两只小“明星”正各玩各的，丝毫不理睬它们的“粉丝”，“架子”十足。

不知不觉中，日当正午，我们来到了熊猫餐厅，窗外有着大片的竹林，随着微风轻轻地舞动。十分雅致。

清新的午后，我们坐上了小火车。火车缓缓驶向丛林深处，各种珍稀动物嬉戏林间。有网络神兽羊驼，有马来西亚的国宝马来貘，还有那一身金皮袄的金毛羚牛，可别小看金毛羚牛，它可是和熊猫，金丝猴并称我国三大国宝。再往前，黑熊棕熊，老虎白虎，非洲狮，个个威猛强大，霸气侧漏。

这时一个拐弯，视野宽阔起来，长颈鹿，秃顶鹤在大草原中“散步”的长颈鹿有着细长的美腿，长长的脖子，还有一身华丽的衣裳，可是呀，它虽美，却有高血压，低头超过五分钟它就会有生命危险呢！

当晚风拂来黄昏，夕阳前来相伴。时光总是美好而又短暂。与优雅地天鹅作别，一路树木歌唱相随，借着亮起的灯光，走出这片奇妙的园林，铭记着一次难忘的旅行。

The meaning of travel is to find new things to me and the feeling of the pursuit of novelty. Is one of the great "engineers of human souls" - Anderson said: "only in the travel, you will feel that their life becomes full and vibrant." When we meet the expectations of our heart, naturally you will think this trip is very full, and life, with a new vitality.

There used to be a teenager, he was President when he at the age of 25, the tradeoff for these achievements but he works day and night, now the young have wealth, instead, he thinks his strangers only work, it seems lack of a lot of important things! Young racking their brains thinking, how to also cant think of themselves exactly whats missing, until one day the young asked butler said: "now I have the achievement, but I always feel less what things, what do you think is missing?" Housekeeper smiled said: "since then want to know the answer, then go travel! Im sure you can find the answer you want!" Butler say that finish turned to leave, leaving only a face of youth. Butlers words appear in my mind, the next couple of days and young also decided to take care of the home to travel, he want to anyway as it is to relax!

So he play times the size of the place, to many famous travel scenic spot, see tomorrow will be over the trip, he sat in a chair watching the infinite sky that day, young closed his eyes and go back to the process of travel a few days, he suddenly thought that a few days he didnt upset, not confused; Instead, he is very happy, very full, then he truly comprehend what they lack is "full", young always work before, so just think what youre always missing, what now through this boy grasped the significance of travel "enrichment", will let the young in addition to work every day and outside to arrange entertainment.

Teenagers, is a good example, young to travel to relax, and the pursuit of new things, but for them to solve the hidden in the heart for a long time! Every trip is confounded, in the process of travel can get a lot of daily life all have no novelty. The significance of travel there are one thousand species, but when you look at in this article, do you agree with my statement? Or, you are also thinking about the meaning of "travel"?

旅行的意义对我而言就是寻找新鲜的事物，追求新奇的感受。堪称是一位伟大的“人类灵魂工程师”——安徒生曾说过：“只有在旅行中，你才会觉得自己的生活变得充实而有活力。”当我们满足了我们内心的期望后，自然而然你就会认为这趟旅行十分充实，并且生活有了崭新的活力。

曾经有一位青少年，他在二十五岁时就当上总裁，这些成就可是他夜以继日工作所换来的，如今少年拥有了荣华富贵，他反而认为自己的生人只有工作，似乎自己缺少了很多重要的东西!少年绞尽脑汁的思考，却怎么也都想不出自己到底少了什么，直到某天少年问管家说：“现在我有了成就，但我总觉得自己少了什么东西，你认为是缺少了什么?”管家笑了笑回答说：“既然那么想知道答案，那就去旅行吧!我相信你一定可以找到你要的答案!”管家说完变离开了，只留下一脸不解的少年。接下来几天管家的话不停出现在脑海中，而少年也决定照管家的话去旅行，他想反正就当作是放松一下!

于是他玩遍了大小地方，到许多家喻户晓的旅行景点，眼看明天就要结束了这趟旅行，他坐在椅子上眺望着那天无限大的天空，少年闭上双眼去回想这几天旅行的过程，他突然认为那几天他没有心烦、没有困惑;反而他很快乐、很充实，这时他才真正领悟到自己缺少的东西就是“充实”，以往少年总是工作不停，所以才认为自己总缺少了什么，现在透过这次的旅行少年领悟到了什么事“充实”，让少年每天除了工作外还会而外去安排娱乐节目。

青少年的故事，就是很好的例子，少年去旅行放松自己，追求新鲜的事物，反而替自己解开了隐藏在内心许久的疑问!每一次的旅行都是满载而归的，在旅行的过程中可以得到许多日常生活中都没有的新奇感。旅行的意义有千百种，而当你看为了此篇文章时，你是否也认同了我的说法了呢?或着，你也正在思考着“旅行的意义”呢?

The Culture of the United States is a Western culture, and has been developing since long before the United States became a country. Today the United States is a diverse and multi-cultural nation.

The types of food served at home vary greatly and depend upon the region of the country and the familys own cultural heritage. Recent immigrants tend to eat food similar to that of their country of origin, and Americanized versions of these cultural foods, such as American Chinese cuisine or Italian-American cuisine often eventually appear. German cuisine also had a profound impact on American cuisine, especially the mid-western cuisine, with potatoes and meat being the most iconic ingredients in both cuisines.Dishes such as the hamburger, pot roast, baked ham and hot dogs are examples of American dishes derived from German cuisine

The primary, although not official, language of the United States is American English. According to the 20xx U.S. Census, more than 97% of Americans can speak English well, and for 81% it is the only language spoken at home. Nearly 30 million native speakers of Spanish also reside in the US. There are more than 300 languages besides English which can claim native speakers in the United States—some of which are spoken by the indigenous peoples (about 150 living languages) and others which were imported by immigrants. American Sign Language, used mainly by the deaf, is also native to the country. Hawaiian is also a language native to the United States, as it is indigenous nowhere else except in the state of Hawaii. Spanish is the second most common language in the United States, and is one of the official languages, and the most widely spoken, in the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

There are four major regional dialects in the United States: northeastern, south, inland north, and midwestern. The Midwestern accent (considered the "standard accent" in the United States, and analogous in some respects to the received pronunciation elsewhere in the English-speaking world) extends from what were once the "Middle Colonies" across the Midwest to the Pacific states.

Summer Holiday in Taiwan

Summer can be very hot in southern Taiwan where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky.

Actually I like swimming and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation， however， was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away. In other words， I must find time to study， too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.
