Maybe you can not imagine what a hotel made of trash looks like. But in Rome, Italy, there is a campaign called Save the Beach that has created a hotel out of 12 tons of trash in order to raise awareness (意识) of our waste.
Save the Beach is an environmental awareness campaign set up by the makers of Corona Beer. They collected all the trash from all the beaches all across Europe. Then they built the special hotel.
It was reported that the hotel was fully booked (预约). And it was open only for four days there in early June, the same time as World Environment Day. Next to the “trash hotel” was the slogan of Save the Beach. It said, we have built the first hotel made of trash in the world. This will be the future of our holidays if we do nothing to protect our beaches.
The hotel was built just to show the damage we were causing to the sea and the coastline (海岸线). We live in the time of trash and we are running the risk of becoming trash ourselves. Do we really want such a world?
The trash hotel in Rome was just the beginning to support healthy, clean and trash-free beaches all across Europe by Save the Beach. Maybe there will be more surprising ideas in the future. Let’s wait and see.
【小题1】 Where was the trash hotel built?

    The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact, it' s more than
6,000 kilometers long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys
till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.
    The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring
and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the
different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the different parts into
one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up. Thus,
the Great Wall came into being.
    The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall
are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the towers as a warning when the
enemy came.
     It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work
was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was
made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.
     Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over
the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying:"He who does not reach the Great
Wall is not a true man."

     The history of the United States is a history of people on the move. The Native Americans came to
North America thousands of years ago. Some of them built villages and stayed there, but many moved from
place to place.
     The first travelers from Europe came to live in an unknown land. At first, they stayed near the coast,
but then a few brave men went west, far into the country. Two of them were Meriwether Lewis and William
Clark. In 1804, they started on their long journey from St. Louis, Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean. They
followed the Missouri River west, went across the Rocky Mountains, and followed the Columbia River to the
Pacific. Then, they turned around, and traveled back to St. Louis.
     During the next 150 years, millions of poor people came from the old cities of Europe. They built the new
cities of US, and farmed the land. But they did not always stay in their new cities or on their farms. Many
people moved on, deeper and deeper into the new land. Some followed religious leaders (宗教领袖) like
Joseph Smith. He and his followers built Salt Lake City in Utah. Others went to look for gold. After the
California Gold Rush in 1849, San Francisco grew from a village to a city in only a few years.
     People are still moving to the US and finding new homes there. Up to one million people come into the
US from Mexico in one year. At the same time, many more arrive from the Pacific nations and regions-from
the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and also from Central and South America. The history of the US is
still on the move.

1. Which of the following is NOT true about the first travelers from Europe?
