A theme park is a collection of rides, exhibitions or other attractions that are based on a common theme. Unlike traditional amusement parks, theme parks often want to teach visitors something. At the World Park, one of the largest theme parks in China, visitors can look at buildings, castles and statues from more than thirty countries.At the China Ethnic Culture Park, people can learn about the customs, costumes, and culture of China's fifty-five minorities. There are also theme parks about cartoon characters, animals --even about water. What they all have in common is that they combine fun with the opportunity to learn something.Many people come to theme parks looking for thrills and entertainment. But theme parks also try to make sure that visitors leave knowing more about their theme. A good example of a theme park that both educates and entertains is Ocean Park in Hong Kong. Visitors to Ocean Park will find all the rides and attractions that can be found in most parks, but they will also find many opportunities to learn about life in the ocean. More than 50.000 students visit the park every year. The park has a conservation centre that helps protect marine animals and their habitats in the rivers and coastal waters of Asia. Ocean Park is built on both sides of a mountain on the south side of Hong Kong Island. The park is divided into two sections. Having enjoyed the rides at the Headland, visitors can take the shuttle to the Lowland. At the Lowland, they can explore the past at the Discovery of the Ancient World and examine giant footprints at the dinosaur exhibition, Visitors can also learn about coral and sharks at Dolphin University, look at the winged beauties in the Butterfly House, or admire An An and Jia Jla, the two giant pandas.Disneyland in California was one of the furst theme parks to become popular around the world. New Disney parks have opened in other parts of the US and in Europe and Asia. The theme of the Disney parks is the world of Walt Disney and his characters: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and many others. Visitors to the Disney parks can meet Mickey and his friends, enjoy rides and games, and look at exhibitions from all parts of the world. Another big theme park in the US is Universal Studios in Florida. At Universal, all the rides and activities are based on Universal Pictures movies. Entering one of the attractions at Universal Studios is like stepping into the world of your favorite movie. Visitors can go on exciting rides where they can feel what it is like to do the things they have seen their heroes do in the movie.New theme parks are being built all over the world. It seems that people just cannot get enough of scary rides and exciting adventures. The parks are becoming more advanced and new technology allows us to experience almost anything without actually being in danger or risking injury. So if you want to know what it feels like to fall through the air, take off in a rocket, fly a helicopter or fight alien creatures in outer space, visit one of the theme parks in your area. If there isn't one where you live yet, don't worry, the theme parks are coming!

n August 1996, Peter Hessler, a young American teacher of English, arrived in the town of Fuling on the Yangtze River. He and a colleague were to spend two years there teaching English at a teacher training college. They were the only foreigners in the town. The first semester finished at the end of January and they had four weeks off for the Spring Festival. They could go anywhere they wished. They decided to take a boat downstream. We decided to buy tickets for the Jiangyou boat. 我们打算买到“江油号”的船票。 Our colleagues said, “You shouldn’t go on those ships. They are very crowded. They are mainly for goods and people trading along the river. 同事们说：“你们不要坐那种船。它们太拥挤，主要是用来运货的。乘客多事沿江做生意的人。 They don’t stop at the temples and there won’t be any other foreigners.” That sounded fine to me. 那些船不停靠庙宇，也不会有别的外国游人乘坐。”我觉得听起来还不错。 We just had to show our passports and they let us get on the boat.我们出示护照后边上了船。 We left the docks on a beautiful afternoon. The sun was shining brightly as we sailed downstream through a hilly region. 在一个美丽的午后，我们离开码头。当我们顺流而下穿过山区的时候，阳光很灿烂。 Men rode bamboo rafts along the river’s edge and coal boats went past. 男人们乘坐着江边的竹筏，运煤的小船来来往往。 As the sun set we docked at Fengdu. We could see the sun setting behind the white pagoda. It was beautiful. 太阳落山时，我们的船在丰都靠岸。我们目睹太阳在白塔后西沉，美丽极了。 We slept through the first gorge, which is called the Qutang Gorge. 穿过长江第一峡——翟塘峡时，我们正在睡梦中。 The gorge narrows to 350 feet as the river rushes through the tow-mile-high mountains. 江水在两英里高峰峦间奔流，峡谷狭窄处只有350英尺。 “Oh, well,” my friend said, “at least we have two more left.” 我朋友说；“至少我们还能看见另外两个峡谷”。 At Wushan we made a detour up the Daning River to see some of the smaller gorges. 船到巫山时，我们绕道溯游大宁河，观赏了几处小峡谷。 The next day we went through the ig gorges on the Yangtze River. It was a lovely morning as we went through the Wu Gorge. 第二天，我们经过了长江的大峡谷。在一个美丽的上午轮船驶过巫峡。 We passed the Xiang River, home of Qu Yuan, the 3rd century BC poet. There was so much history long the Yangtze River. 我们还经过了湘江，那是公元前三世纪一位诗人——屈原的家乡。 Every rock looked like a person or animal, every stream that joined the great river carried its legends, every hill was heavy with the past. 长江有太多的历史。块块巨石形象各异，条条支流都流淌着传说，座座小山承载着过往。 As we came out of the third gorge, the Xiling Gorge, we sailed into the construction site of the dam. 穿过长江三峡+西陵峡后，轮船驶入大坝建设处的江面。 All the passengers came on deck. We took pictures and pointed at the site, but we weren’t allowed to get off the boat. 所有乘客都上了甲板，大家拍照片，对着工地指指点点，但不可以下船。 The Chinese flag was blowing in the wind. On a distant mountain was a sign in 20-foot characters. “Build the Three Gorges Dam, Exploit the Yangtze River,” it said.
