Nearly 60 million visitors flooded to the 384 national parks across America every year. And you won’t have to wander far from home to enjoy one of these national treasures, with Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park nearby.
Located 56 miles from Copper Harbor on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the park remains a desolate area that can only be reached by tour boat. With the exception of the Rock Harbor Lodge, which offers both rooms with private baths and accommodations in the form of small cottages, the 572,000 acres that make up the 45-mile-long park are rough, threaded with hiking paths that lead to tents-only campsites. You are likely to see a deer crossing mist-covered ponds in search of breakfast, gaze bald eagles flying overhead, or hear a beaver(河狸) clapping its tail on the water. If you are especially lucky, you might even glimpse a grey wolf, nearly dying out from hunting on the mainland.
Plenty of hiking paths open the area to exploration. The 4-mile Stroll Path winds through various trees and offers a tour of the island’s history, including prehistoric Indian mines. The Jungle Path leads to Scoville Point——a perfect picnic spot surrounded on three sides by the shining waters of Lake Superior.
You can also rent a boat at the park’s service center and row down the shore to the Rock Harbor Lighthouse. Here park’s service employees use nets to show how lake fishes used to be caught by the original local people. Their catch ends up on the dinner menu at the Rock Harbor Lodge.
The park is open from mid-April through October; Rock Harbor Lodge is open from Memorial Day weekend until just after Labor Day.
1.The underlined phrase “a desolate area” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ________.
A. an undeveloped area
B. an inaccessible area
C. an area deserted by tourists
D. an area protected by government
2.What can we infer from the passage?
A. Indians used to hunt grey wolves to make a living.
B. Tourists can only visit the park by walking or hiking.
C. The number of grey wolves is smaller than that of deer.
D. Food provided by Rock Harbor Lodge is shipped from outside.
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Safety tips of the natural park.
B. Attractions of the natural park.
C. Tourist service of the natural park.
D. Environmental protection of the natural park.

There was once an old wise man living on the top of a mountain. Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice.
One day a young man arrived. “Wise man,” he asked, “What makes a man truly great?”
The old man said, “Do you sincerely want to know?”
“Yes, yes!” the young man replied.
“Well,” the wise old man said to him, “Let me tell you in the form of a story.”
There was once a Greek man who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he would die soon, he was the first to join the army when his country was in a battle with the enemy. Hoping to die in battle, he would fight in the front line, risking himself without any worry for his life. Finally they won the battle and he was still alive. His general (将军) was so impressed with his bravery which contributed much to the victory.
The general decided to promote him and award him with medals of bravery and honor. On the day of presentation (授予仪式), he was looking very down and sad. Curiously, the general asked him why he was so sad on a day he should be so proud. The soldier told him of his deadly disease. “How could I let such a brave soldier die?” the general thought. So the general hired the best physician and finally cured the soldier. But from that day on, the once valiant soldier was no longer seen at the front. He would always avoid danger and tried his best to protect his life.
“Young man,” the wise man said, “if you want to be truly great, you must not be afraid of dying, you must be daring.”

A. brave B. polite C. curious D. proud
4.What the old man really wanted the young man to do was .
A. trying to be kind to the people in trouble

Dear Grandma,
It was nice seeing you at Christmas．You looked so happy!
After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on what is most important．I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me．I am the person I am because of you．
I remember being on your farm a lot when I was younger．I remember the projects you planned for us．We painted rocks to represent our family members．We made doll clothes out of colorful socks．We made many "playhouses" in the woods．
We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans．We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we'd have them on our ice cream in the afternoon．We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant．We learned that you could make do with what you had．We learned that making things out of paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging．We learned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came．
You once made models of everyone's houses, which made me want to be an architect．Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids．I still use mine every night．The edge has worn out．
But you taught me how to fix it．
I love and respect you．You are always patient, with a quiet determination．
Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me．I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren．
Love always,
Kelly
