Filming Locations You Can Actually Visit
Mars (The Martian)
When you search for a location to stand in for the surface of another world，The
Wadi Rum Protected Area in far southern Jordan is a good place to start.With the
impressive “vast and echoing and God-like” landscape ， it served as the
background of Matt Damon’s 18-month stay on the red planet in The Martian.
Jurassic Park
The Hawaiian islands were the locations for some of Jurassic Park’s most
memorable scenes.Kauai provides the rough coastline and some of the most
breathtaking features of the fictional Isla Nublar，while the rolling hills of Oahu’s
Kualoa Ranch function as the background of the Gallimimus stampede (逃亡).
Hobbiton
Unlike the other locations in this list，the Shire is a wholly artificial set，built on a
sheep farm on New Zealand’s North Island.Created for Peter Jackson’s big-screen
adaptation of J.R.R.Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy，Hobbiton began to
draw curious fans shortly after the release of the first film in the series.In time，what
began as a temporary location designed to host a three-month movie shoot has
evolved into a Tolkienesque theme park with over 350，000 visitors annually.
King’s Landing
The HBO series Game of Thrones brings to life the many locations of George
R.R.Martin’s fantasy world，but the conflict of sex，swords，and trickery reaches
its peak in the capital of King’s Landing.The “real” capital of Westeros can be found
in Dubrovnik，Croatia.The city’s 16th-century fortress walls overlook BlackwaterBay，while the parks，avenues，and alleys of the old city have witnessed the
triumphs and tragedies of House Lannister.
1.Which of the four locations should you visit if you are a big fan of J.R.R.Tolkien?
A.Mars (The Martian). B.Jurassic Park.
C.Hobbiton. D.King’s Landing.
2.What do the movie locations Mars and Jurassic Park have in common?
A.They are both on the coast.
B.They demonstrate magnificent views.
C.They can represent another world.
D.They are set for only one film.
3.What can visitors do in King’s Landing?

We were standing at the top of a church tower.I saw twisting streets leading to the
square.“See，my dear，” Father said gently.“There is more than one way to the
square.”
Father’s words always guided me.Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer，I came
to Paris ， but without luck.Then one day I met a friend wearing a beautiful
sweater.“What an interesting stitch！” I cried.“It was done by Mrs.Vidian，”
my friend explained.“She learned the stitch in Armenia ，her native country.”
Suddenly I had a daring idea.Why not design，make and sell my own clothes?
I drew a butterfly pattern and asked Mrs.Vidian to knit it into a sweater.It proved a
success.A New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks.I accepted the
order.My happiness disappeared，however，when Mrs.Vidian told me it took her
almost a week to knit one sweater.
I was crushed.Then I remembered Father’s words.There must be other Armenianwomen in Paris who mastered the special stitch.Then I searched for any Armenians
living in Paris.At last I tracked down several.Two weeks later，the__first__shipment
was on its way to the United States!
From that day on orders poured in.Then came another test.As I was busy getting ready
to show my winter fashions，the sewing girls were called out on strike.Where was
the way out this time? I wondered and worried.Then it dawned on me.
I worked hurriedly.And right on time，my show took place.Some coats had no
sleeves；some were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth ，but on these I
attached material to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they
were finished.What a show! Once again Father’s words helped me.

B.She showed the clothes unfinished.
C.She employed more sewing girls.
D.She completed the clothes in a hurry.
