    九寨沟历来享有“童话世界”的美誉，来读一读这篇介绍九寨沟的文章吧！

    　　Jiuzhaigou is an incredible(不可思议的)place in the northern part of Sichuan Province in China．It was only discovered in the 1970s and is now a protected area．Tibetan people have lived in the valley for many years and signs of Tibetan culture can be seen throughout the valley．However, many of these people have now been moved to houses so that the land can be looked after properly．

    　　The valley is surrounded by mountains and is full of waterfalls and lakes．Many of the lakes are so colorful that they look man-made．The lakes are the bluest blue you will ever see and some are up to 50 meters deep but they are so clear that you can see the bottom．The valley has become a popular tourist attraction for both Chinese and foreign tourists．To save Jiuzhaigou from thousands of people that go there every year, there are buses inside the valley that take the visitors to the main attractions．There is also a rather expensive entrance ticket to try and keep the number of tourists down．

    　　For the fit and healthy tourists, there are walking paths so that they can be really close to nature．The valley is over 60 kilometers long, so the walk may be tiring．Many tourists prefer to take the bus．

    　　Jiuzhaigou is a great place to visit．I hope you can go there sometime．

    The Founding of Washington

    　　When in 1789, George Washington became the first president of the United States, there was no permanent (永久的) capital in which to house the government. During the Revolutionary (革命) War seven different cities had served as the national capital. In addition, members of Congress (国会) could not agree as to where this permanent capital should be located(位于). Some officials wanted it in the north, others wanted it in the south. Each of the States hoped that the capital might lie within its own state lines. At last it was decided that the capital should occupy(占据) a section(区域) by itself, separate from any of the states. The place chosen(选择) was situated(位于) on the Potomac River. The land belonged originally (原先地) to the state of Maryland, but Maryland agreed to the national government. The section was named the District of Columbia after Christopher Columbus. The city itself was named Washington after George Washington. Work was begun on the new capital in 1791.
