In addition to seeing wonderful films, one of the joys of coming to the Quad Cinema is to hang out in the area. The Quad is located right in the heart of Greenwich Village, perhaps the most charming and interesting neighborhood in the city. Here are some attractions we recommend, all within a comfortable walk from the Quad:

Washington Square

As one of the best-known of New York City’s 1,900 public parks, it is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. Come on a Sunday when it’s most lively and festive.

New York University

It surrounds Washington Square. See the impressive Bobst Library and visit the amazing bookstore. NYU is now considered one of the most powerful universities in the world.

Judson Memorial Church

Located on Washington Square south between Thompson Street and Sullivan Street, opposite Washington Square Park, this beautiful church was completed in 1892. The Judson is most famous for its vocal participation in social events.

Washington Mews

It is a hidden, private street in New York City between Fifth Avenue and University Place just north of Washington Square Park. It was first developed as a mews (row of stables) that serviced horses from homes in the area. Since the 1950s the former stables have served as housing, offices and other facilities for New York University.

Jefferson Market Courthouse

Built in 1833 as a market, it was later changed to a courthouse, and in the 1950s it was emptied and close to being destroyed. It was saved and turned into a library. Many consider it to be the most beautiful building in the village.

If you plan on visiting Fiji, you are probably looking for some fun things to do.

The Poseidon Undersea Resort

The Poseidon Undersea Resort is an underwater resort that gives visitors a beautiful view of marine life. This resort covers 255 acres. It’s covered and surrounded by a lagoon (环礁湖) that covers 5,000 acres and is about 90 feet underwater, giving you a beautiful view of marine life right before your eyes. This resort even has a hotel for those who would prefer to have the unusual experience of sleeping and waking to the beautiful scenery all around them.

The Sabeto Mud Pool

If you’re looking for something unusual to do, you can’t pass up the mud pool at Sabeto. It is located in a mountain range with a huge group of geothermal (地热的) pools full of nice, warm mud. Getting down and into the mud in the pool is believed to have benefits for healthy skin. This is unusual, but adults and especially kids will love it.

Fire Walking

Fire walking in Fiji is believed to have originated on the island of Beau. Fire walking refers to the activity of walking on white-hot stones barefoot. To do this, you have to be mentally prepared for it. Trust me; there are a lot of preparations and strict rules that travelers should follow in order to do this safely.

The Fiji Museum

The Fiji Museum is unusual due to all the amazing artifacts you’ll see dating back 3,000---4,000 years. This museum has a certain attraction that makes it funny---a shoe.

New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from. The law is known as COOL—Country of Origin Labeling.

American Congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.

Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are excluded. For example, organ meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked food.

The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores.

Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods come from. For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella, officials blamed peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach (菠菜) grown in California. But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country.

The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations (违反) that are found. Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1000 dollars per violation. Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.

Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that will give people more useful information.

1.What’s the regulation in the new rules?

A. Stores have to label seafood by country of origin.

B. The country-of-origin labeling has to be marked on more food.

C. Labeling of food should include more useful information.

D. Stores have to label food by its producing date from now on.

2.Consumers are more concerned about where foods come from because _________.

A. they are particular about the tastes of the food

B. they are curious about the country of the food origin

C. most of the shoppers are food safety activists themselves

D. they’re concerned about food safety and want to get what they want

3.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. Store owners are most likely to be the supporters of the law.

B. Most Americans prefer imported vegetables to vegetables grown in local places.

C. The government of America will forbid importing peppers from Mexico.

D. The law was not fully carried out until last week because of food industry’s resistance.
