W: Hello, Peter. We haven't seen each other for ages. How are you getting along with the preparations for the coming Entrance Exam?
M: Well,I really can't tell. Anyhow, I'm doing my best, working night and day.
W: So am I. Sometimes, I feel really very tired, both physically and mentally.
M: I feel the same. I often suffer from headaches and general weakness. Not enough time for sleeping. I don't know what will become of me if it goes on like this for long.
W: And no time for sports, even music, not to mention films and TV programs. All we have is exercises, exam papers and this sort of things.
M: It seems that to go to college is the only choice of our future life.
W: Certainly not. Even if we can't go to college, we can take up many other jobs and do our bits for the society as well.
M: Quite right.But we'll get more knowledge after studying several years at college. That means we can work better for our country and people after graduation. In addition, our parents lay great hope on us, we shouldn't make them disappointed.
W: That's true.
【题目】 Throughout most states of the USA, there are countless secret swimming holes, and following are 4 of them.
Havasu Falls (Arizona) | This attractive waterfall in the Grand Canyon is undoubtedly a destination spot requiring a 10-mile walk to the falls. You can take a guided tour to the falls, or make it on your own. The Havasu Falls are on the Havasupai Indian Reservation, which means you'll need to get a permit to visit — this has become increasingly difficult as more people discover this hidden place. |
Hamilton Pool (Austin) | Hamilton Pool was created when an underground river's roof fell down suddenly; exposing what is now the swimming hole and creating a 50-foot waterfall that flows over the above limestone(石灰岩). You'll have to reserve beforehand to gain entry to the Hamilton Pool Preserve. |
Chutes and Ladders (Maui) | To get to this secret swimming hole, you'll have to take a rope 40 feet down the face of a cliff, and then climb down about 8 feet of lava rock to the pool. Once there, however, you'll be glad you made the journey. The swimming hole is on the edge of the ocean — a natural pool, you could say — with a depth that invites you to jump in without crowds of people around to watch. |
Homestead Crater (Utah) | The Homestead Crater is hidden under a rock dome(圆顶) with an opening at the top that allows for sunlight and air. It was once only accessible by that top opening, but there is now easy access through a side path for visitors. Go for a swim in this beautiful mineral water spring. |
【1】People need an official written statement to visit _________.
