The best kept secret in San Diego is waiting to offer you a delightful getaway—without leaving town.
Less than three years ago, the Parisi Hotel was just an office building above the shops on the corner of Prospect Street. Now, that valuable space is an intimate luxury hotel with several rooms overlooking the ocean. You'll be amazed when you enter from the corner and ascend the curving staircase to the second?floor lobby. It will take you into a different world.
What will you find when you enter the large contemporary lobby is a hand some and peaceful space that was designed with a hint of Tuscany in its modern Mediterranean style. The lobby has a large fire place with comfortable sofas in warm neutral colors surrounding it. You'll feel relaxed just sitting there—with its skylight overhead letting in the morning sun. All the rooms are more like suites (套间), with large comfortable beds, beautiful baths and stylish custom?designed furnishings and art throughout.
The Parisi Hotel is the perfect place for seniors because it's quiet and restful—with only 20 rooms. You won't find many hotels like this in the center of a tourist town.
The shops are all around you. Likewise for some of the city's best restaurants, you will never have to take your car out of the garage during your stay. And, by the way, the underground parking lot at the Parisi Hotel is free for hotel guests.
Once you stay at this little gem (珍品), you'll want to return again and again. I know we do. It's a perfect place for seniors.
Rates for standard suites begin at $ 275. You can call the hotel for reservation at (858)454?1513. The Parisi Hotel is located at 1111 Prospect St. right across from La Valencia.

The problem with students using Google is not that the search leader is unable to offer useful educational content. It's that finding that content using simple search terms is a difficult art to master. But some educational companies and organizations aim to make it easier to find useful educational content among the Web. They are forming a working group to come up with more detailed criteria(标准)that could eventually be added into the search lines for Google, Bing, and Yahoo !
The project was encouraged by a joint move by those major search engines to help users do more effective Web?searches. The idea behind the new education corporation is to determine a common “framework” for narrowing search results for education content—by subject area，or source type，or content type, or any number of possible criteria. The goal is also to persuade publishers of educational content to use a matching set of tags(分类)to help the search engines sort out their content more easily.
Search engines are used by college students, but they were not designed for them. This has been a subject of much handwringing (绝望) among professors, who worry that students are not finding the most reliable content on the Internet even if more and more content providers of good fame—textbook publishers, scholars, universities and many others—have been putting useful academic resources on the open Web.
Michael Johnson, a member who will be serving on a working group devoted to developing the framework over the next six months or so, said “The project is aimed at benefiting the publishers of educational content as much as students. ”
1.What may annoy students using Google to help them?
A. They can't search useful educational content at home.
B. Google doesn't provide valuable educational content.
C. It's hard to find educational content in simple and effective ways.
D. There are so many students searching the same using Google now.
2.To improve Web searches for students the working group will ________.
A. demand the major search engines offer more content
B. train more students to surf safely on the Internet
C. ask students to use more kinds of search engines
D. link better standards to the major search engines
3.What may publishers of educational content help in the joint move?
A. They should produce less educational content with better quality.
B. They can set standard tags to match with searched contents.
C. They may develop better searching software.
D. They will provide more educational content.
4.From the third paragraph we can see ________.
A. not all content providers of good fame offer reliable content
B. textbook publishers shouldn't put resources on the open Web
C. college professors don't believe in content on the Internet
D. college students don't know how to use search engines

Love Tunnel sees lots of love and trash
Bearing a resemblance to the forest－surrounded “Love Tunnel” in Ukraine, the two?kilometer tunnel in Jiangning district Nanjing saw a recent rise in popularity as more than 2,000 tourists paid a visit every day this summer.The high number of visitors caused traffic safety concerns and increased the workload of sanitation workers.The Nanjing government had intended to cut the trees by the end of 2014.After the Nanjing government was forced to draft plans to cut the trees due to public pressure, visitors poured into a railway section that runs through thick forest for sightseeing and to take photos this weekend, leaving the railway with overwhelming piles of trash.
However, in response to the government's plan, complaints and outcries were made by the citizens that the love tunnel should be reserved.They claim that walking along the leafy green tunnel is like entering a fairy tale, and a possible decision to tear down the trees could bring the story to a pitiful end.
