The American people enjoy beautiful forests, rivers, lakes and mountains. To keep them beautiful, the government has chosen certain places which are unusual in their beauty. They decided to make them national parks. This means no one can build cities in these areas. They will always be parks. So children and grandchildren can enjoy them as their parents and grandparents did in the past. There are also strict rules to prevent people from polluting these areas.
The Yellowstone National Park is in the state of Wyoming. It has natural hot water which sometimes shoots into the air. The park is in the Rocky Mountains. There are bears, monkeys and wolves which visitors hope to see. Also, many kinds of birds are there. Perhaps the most famous is the large Canadian goose.
Niagara Falls is on the border between New York State and Canada. It has the largest waterfalls in the United States. Many people go to see the falls when they take a holiday especially during the summer when the weather is very hot.

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up（哽咽）and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands. ” For a moment there was silence on the other and of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent –– teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me.

student. Then she said in a quiet voi
ce,"Good
morning. How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year. I'd like to
know each of you. I am sure we will enjoy working together." Her voice was

she liked to do and she hoped to do with them during the year. Then she said to
the boys

your names and the things you like."

When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are playing tricks on (捉弄) you? It seems that the stars are moving all the time.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is called scintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earth’s atmosphere (大氣). Light is “bent (彎曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earth’s atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.
The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.
This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文學家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望遠鏡) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.

2.Scintillation also happens on according to the passage.

3.What can you see when you drop a rock into the water?
A．The rock gets broken.
B．The rock becomes unclear.
C．The water becomes much polluted.
D．The water does not move anymore.
