The island of Lanai is one of Hawaii’s best kept secrets. With its old country beauty, rocky land, empty beaches and forests, the island of Lanai is like an attractive Colorado village in the middle of the Pacific. What to see

In fact, you’ll need a 4-wheel sightseeing bus to get to most of the island’s attractions. Lanai offers 400 miles of rocky dirt roads that lead you through rainforests (热带雨林), up to Mount Lanaihale — the island’s highest point, through a tour of ancient rock paintings, and to the island’s famous Garden of the Gods.

If you want to experience the local island color, head to Lanai City, the island’s only town and home to nearly all of its 3,000 people. The attractive little town offers pop shops, local art and small cafes. Accommodation (住宿）choices

Lanai only has three hotel choices: one beautiful historical village and two Four Seasons resorts (度假胜地). Stay one night in Hotel Lanai，the smallest and cheapest of the choices, and you’ll feel like you stepped back to old Hawaii.

The two Four Seasons resorts offer different characters of the island. The Lanai at Manele Bay is the island, s beachside resort that faces a near-sea preserve (保留区).The second Four Seasons resort, The Lodge at Koele, covers over 80 km2 of rolling hills, gardens and trees. You’ll need a blanket to stay warm at night. It feels like a very different Hawaii. How to get there

With all its beauty, getting to Lanai is no easy task. If you are planning a trip there, you’ll have to fly into the island of Maui and catch a boat that leaves from Lahaina five times a day, or you can catch one of Hawaiian Airline’s daily flights. 1.

Standing in a bombed (被轰炸过的）home, little Maureen Jenkins watches celebrations held to mark the end of World War II. This is a black and white picture taken on Victory in Europe Day (VE Day), May 8, 1945.

Maureen Jenkins, now 70 years old, looks back with pride on the small part she played on VE Day. She was two as she stood in Henley Street, Battersea. “l was too young to remember VE Day,” says Maureen. “But it is such a heartbreaking picture to me because it shows me the struggle our family went through during the war. It wasn’t easy for my mum, having five children and being bombed. We were so short of money, and it was frightening.”

Like most parts of London, Battersea suffered terribly from bombing. For Maureen and dozens of the other children living on her street, deserted (废弃的）homes became a playground. “There was a lot of danger, but that’s how it was in those days,” said the grandma who now lives in Norfolk. UA few houses on our street had got bombed. I was sure people died but my mum didn’t speak about that very much in front of me. In those days I was often told to go outside and play,” added Maureen.

“My philosophy is that you have to live through something to know something,” she said. “I’m proud to be in the photo. People today haven’t been there in a war. And young people should be shown just what it could be like.”

For those who are left, memories of VE Day remain clear. Winston Churchill announced the war’s end at 3:00 pm and crowds gathered at Buckingham Palace across the country. People poured onto the streets to sing war songs, wave flags and dance until dawn. 5. Who now lives in Norfolk? A. Winston Churchill. B. Maureen’s. friend. C. Maureen’s grandma. D. Maureen Jenkins.

6. Why did Maureen’s mum ask her to play outside? A. Because deserted homes became a playground. B. Because other children were playing outside. C. Because it was dangerous inside.

When David Hyche was helping his local church plan an annual Easter egg hunt nine years ago, he realized his then 19-month-old blind daughter Rachel would not be able to folly take part in it. He decided to look for a way for his daughter to experience an Easter egg hunt just like her normal-sighted older brother.

David then researched online on how a blind child could do an Easter egg hunt and have fun with it. He found there were people who could make beeping (有哔哔声的）eggs. He then called a man in Los Angeles and the man told him how he did it. David then thought he could spread beeping eggs around the world.

He made forty beeping eggs that year and sold them at a price of $14 per egg. Each egg took him about 20 minutes to make. It contains a switch (开关)，a beeper，and a 9-volt battery, joined together by wires (导线).

A handful of blind kids, Rachel included, showed up at the first beeping Easter egg hunt hosted by David in Birmingham nine years ago. Hoping to spread it further, David employed his coworkers and friends throughout Alabama to help him m …… 此处隐藏：10939字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
