It’s fun to dream about vacationing in Europe, but international flights are not always particularly
affordable.If you’re looking to experience a taste of European culture, however, there are many places in
the US with the European heritage.
St.Augustine, Florida
Founded by Spanish settlers in 1565，St.Augustine is full of Spanish-inspired architecture, historical
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂sites and other attractions. The Colonial Quarter is a popular tourist area, and there are many places to grab
traditional Spanish food.
Holland, Michigan
Holland was settled in 1847 by Dutch Calvinist separatists, under the leadership of Dr Albertus van
Raalte. Terrible economic conditions in the Netherlands forced them to emigrate (移居国外), while
their desires for religious freedom led them to unite and settle together as a group. Much of the original
architecture was destroyed in an 1871 fire, but the city still has many windmills, eateries, art and even an
annual tulip festival and holiday market.
New Glarus, Wisconsin
More than 160 years after it was founded, New Glarus has maintained much of its Swiss heritage and
old world traditions. New Glarus’ Swiss immigrant roots are proudly on display with its Alpine
architecture, Swiss Historical Village Museum and Yodel Club. The Wisconsin village also puts on cultural
events like the Heidi Folk Festival and Swiss Volksfest.
Solvang, California
Located near Santa Barbara，Solvang is a charming California city with Danish roots.A group of
immigrants from Denmark founded Solvang just over 100 years ago to create a Danish home away from
home.As such, the city is full of Danish architecture, restaurants, shops and even a copy of Copenhagen’s
famous Little Mermaid statue.
1．Which US city might have the longest European origin？___
A．St.Augustine. B．Holland.
C．New Glarus. D．Solvang.
2．Why did Dutch Calvinist separatists decide to emigrate？____
A．To reveal the dark side of their native place.
B．To pursue religious freedom and economic opportunities.

Our dog Sandy is a golden retriever (寻回犬). Once we performed an experiment to see how keen his
nose was. There was one particular pile that must have had hundreds of sticks. We picked up one stick
carved an X on it, walked away from the pile and then threw it back into the pile, not once but a dozen
times into the pile. It was impossible for us to tell with any certainty which slick we had originally chosen.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Each time he brought back that stick, It wasn’t the shape or the size or the look of the stick that he used to
pick it out from all the others. It was the smell we left on the stick. It is hard to imagine, hut for dogs every
living creature has its own distinctive smell.
The noses of people have about 5 million cells that sense smell. Dogs' noses have anywhere from 125
to 300 million cells. Moreover, these cells are closer to the surface than cells in our noses, and more active.
It has been estimated that dogs such as Sandy have noses that are a million times more sensitive than ours.
Clothes that we haven’t worn for weeks, and places we’ve only touched lightly indicate our presence to
dogs.
His ears are also remarkable. He can hear sounds that humans can’t and at distances which are
astonishing. It is over our head to know and understand that world. Yet we have the advantage of being
able to imagine what his experience is like, though he probably doesn’t think too much about how we see
the world.
The environment is the world that all living things share. Living creatures are born into the
environment and are part of it. Yet there is no creature who perceives (感知到) all of what is and what
happens. For a dog like Sandy a book isn’t much different than a stick, whereas for us one stick is pretty
much like every other stick. There is no one world experienced by all living creatures.
4.Why did the author conduct the experiment?
A. To train Sandy to pick out sticks. B. To show how fast Sandy found sticks.
C. To prove sensitivity of Sandy’s nose. D. To teach Sandy to tell different smells.
5.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Support the conclusion with numbers. B. Summarize the previous paragraph.
C. Provide some advice for the readers. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
6.What does the underlined idiom in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Amazing. B. Difficult. C. Reasonable. D. Inconvenient.
7.Which of the following best expresses the authors opinion in the last paragraph?
A. Worlds to experience. B. An environment to share.
C. No environment, no creatures. D. One environment, many worlds.
