Among many celebrated U. S. places for very cool sunsets, here are notable favorites.
California Dreamin'
While you are visiting California Dreamin', El Matador's eye-catching nightfall is a worthy way to lead you into deep thought. It is about the sands of time. Pack a basket of delicious food for a late-in-the-day picnic overlooking the Pacific Ocean, via the Pacific Coast Highway. The sunset is a sweet dessert.
Grand Canyon, Arizona
The 1,218,375-acre Grand Canyon National Park is wonderful. The canyon itself stretches 277 miles. Its wildlife is also so abundant. You can go to the South Rim of the canyon (大峡谷), which offers the best sunset advantages. Sometimes, you can see deer running and eagles flying with the sunset standing as the background. An unforgettable thrill: Grand Canyon Floor Landing Helicopter Sunset Tour by Canyon Tours.
Florida Serenity
Called the River of Grass, Everglades National Park — South Florida's amazing 1.5-million-acre wetland reserve — is quilted with coastal trees and grass. An especially chosen sunset-watching site is near Mrazek Pond, approximately three miles north of the Flamingo Visitor Center. This is a birder's (观鸟者) dream place, too, home to more than 360 species.
Hawaii Aloha
Haleakala Crater in Hawaii Aloha, a vast dormant (休眠期的) volcano 10,023 feet above sea level, is famous for its sunrises — so that dawn sun-seekers climb the volcano in the middle of the night to make the long drive up a winding road to the summit. But Haleakala's sunsets are just as amazing. Since fewer people arrive late in the day, a more personal sunset participation is possible. Consider a private or group sunset hike to appreciate the Pacific Ocean. It is worthwhile.
Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. Americans won't live without cars!
Most Americans would find it hard to think what life would look like without cars. However, some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.
One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute. That's what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we'll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.
But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.
Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.
A man is lucky to be alive after a horrible meet with a bear in Alaska. The unidentified man, who is said to be in his 50s, spent several days fighting for survival in the wilderness as a bear followed him-but then a Coast Guard helicopter team came to his rescue on Friday, July 16.
Commander Carbajal told the newspaper that their Coast Guard helicopter had changed course to avoid cloud cover on their way to a task when the shocking discovery was made. Though it was uncommon for the Coast Guard to come across people in need in the middle of nowhere,they noticed a shack(棚屋)with "SOS" and "help me" written on the roof.
The man later told his rescuers he had been staying at the shack since July 12. In those five days, he suffered non-life-threatening injuries, including damage to his leg.
"He was kind of struggling. When we came around, he was on his hands and knees waving a white flag," Commander Carbajal said. "He definitely looked like he had been out there for a while," he added.
"At some point, a bear had dragged him down to the river," Commander Carbajal said. "He had a gun but the bullets were not enough. He said that the bear kept coming back every night and he hadn't slept for a few days. "
It is reported that 68 people in the state were sent to hospitals in 66 bear attacks from 2000 to 2017. Ten people died from bear attacks during that period. USA Today noted that all three species of North American bears—including black, brown and polar bears live in Alaska.
Pollution is a disaster for the soil. When chemicals go into the ground, they slowly reduce the fertility of the soil and make it unsuitable for farming. They may also change the structure of the soil, which gets more easily destroyed by water and air.
For ordinary consumers, the influence of soil pollution can be felt most strongly in the supermarket. Exposure(暴露) to soil pollution can pollute foods grown in the field, harming people's health.
One example of this is the " poisonous rice event" that surfaced in 2013. Some rice from Hunan province was found to contain higher levels of cadmium(镉), a kind of metal likely to cause cancer, because Hunan has some of the worst soil pollution in China, according to CBC News. All the samples collected from this area were heavily polluted by cadmium. Sometimes, the cadmium level is 20 times higher than the national standard.
According to scientists, high levels of cadmium have been linked to organ( 器官) failure, weakening of bones and cancer. " Cadmium is likely to store up in the kidney and liver," Chen Nengchang, a scholar at the Guangdong Institute of Eco-environment and Soil Sciences, told The New York Times. " When the amount reaches a certain point, it will cause a serious health risk for the organs. "
Unfortunately, fixing the problem was not as simple as destroying a few piles of rice. Since the outer covering of rice are often used to feed farm animals, the meat we eat and the milk we drink may both be at risk.
Luckily both the government and Chinese consumers have becomes more and more aware of this kind of pollutions, and aim to fight the situation with combined effort. There are many things we, as individual, can do to help. Eating organic foods are one of them.
Organic food is not only better for our health but also for our environment, especially the soil. To grow organic food, farmers stop using all artificial chemicals——including fertilizers, and pesticides. This production method does not cause any risk of soil pollution, unlike traditional farming, which uses tons of artificial chemicals. By consuming organic foods, we support healthier soil.

As s businesswoman, I care deeply about my customers. But like anyone for whom you feel affection, 1 can also drive you mad. They'll come rushing in, 2 their handbag's been stolen. They'll 3 that they left it in the changing room, create havoe (混乱) and then 4 it had been in their car all the time. They'll have out half the 5 in the shop, and want the only style you don't have left in a 6 colour. I do know how upset the shop staff can get, but I try to persuade them to keep 7.
I remember the first really 8 customer we had at Covent Garden. She was 9 absolutely everything, nothing was right and I was rather 10 that she became a "regular". After a while, she 11 for the way she behaved at the beginning. She had split up with her husband the week before, was living in a flat 12, and since she'd found it too much to cope with(应对), she'd taken it out on 13 people.
That taught me a valuable 14 and I pass it on to the people who 15 in the market. Don't take it 16. If a customer is rude or difficult, just think "Maybe she's had a row with her husband. Maybe her child's not 17. " Always water it down and don't let your ego(自我) get 18. If you do, you won't be able to 19 it and the whole thing develops into an unpleasant scene and that 20 everyone's day.
One day I was thinking of something new to read. When I asked my sister for(suggest), she told me to read A Child Called "It". After reading this book, it(natural) became my favorite book. It taught me a lot of necessary things in life many people don't bother to appreciate until they're(miss).
This book has inspired me in many ways. It made me realize that I'm so fortunate to have a caring and loving mom. As I read the book, I(notice) what the boy wanted was love from his mom, but that was impossible for him to get., his mom would abuse him. This book also taught me to appreciate and be happywhat I have. I often cry because I'm unable to get new shoes or clothes. The child in the book was hardly surviving with the thingshe had. He hardly had enough clothes over(he) body to keep him from freezing and he didn't even have shoes.
Until this day, A Child Called "It"(be) still my favorite book. (inspire) by this book, I'm sure to become a better person.
