Picnicking in special places throughout the US has become a choice for many people. We’ve come up with 5 of the top picnicking areas across the US.

Cumberland Islands, Georgia

This national shore(海岸) is a perfect picnicking place. It’s an undamaged place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails(小徑) and beaches. The trails are lined with trees covered in Spanish moss.

Grant Park, Chicago

If you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for taste of a 20-day, lake-front foodie festival that happens each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax. If you are there on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the firework display at the Navy Pier.

Cranberry Islands, Maine

Here, you’ll find natural picnicking with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20minutes by private boat or ferry service. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it’s a romantic picnic area to take your friends or go for a family outing to visit the islands. You can visit the Islands by private boat or ferry service.

Red Rock Canyon, Nevada

If you happen to be in Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon and the nearby Spring Mountain Ranch State Park offer a welcome rest. Situated just 19 miles west of Vegas, it’s a trip worth taking. There are plenty of picnic areas along the drive and in nearby Spring Mountain Ranch State Park which also offers outdoor theaters and concerts in summer months.

Big Sur, California

The Point Lobos State Reserve has often been called “ the crown(皇冠) jewel of the State Park System”. Besides the coastal wildlife, there are rare plant communities and unique geological formations(地質(zhì)構(gòu)造)。It’s good for you to have a picnic in the reserve. We recommend bringing a telescope, because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance.

B
Many people say that the United States is a paradise for the children, a struggling field for the youth and a tomb for the aged. However, the situation is quite different in Australia. Different people have their own ways for enjoyment and their own worlds of pastime.
Most children often work hard in school since they have to face various exams. After school they do not want to confine themselves to books any more. Instead, they put aside their schoolbags at home and sneak quickly to some quiet street comers for their games. Bigger children like to shoulder their large kites to some steep cliffs, and jump to fly in the sky with their kites.
Some old people often get up early in the morning and go to parks to do newspaper reading. After breakfast, they come to horse races, dog races and sometimes car races for betting. If he wins, he will feed himself a good dinner. In the evening, they stay at home, watching TV sometimes with grandchildren. Some of the aged also enjoy fishing and gardening.
Young people prefer to go outing for holidays. At the weekends, they go to the seashore for swimming or to the forest for hunting and camping, or mountainous areas for picnicking. Then in the evenings on Sundays, they start their long bumper-to-bumper drive back on the highways. Nobody seems in a hurry.
The Australian government also encourages its people to have more relaxation after work. Sometimes, certain kind of financial help is distributed to people going on holidays and public holidays are purposely set on Monday or Friday so that Australians may have a longer weekend for enjoyment. They think people can word better only after they get a full relaxation. And it grows out of this idea that relaxation comes the top priority(優(yōu)先權(quán))for enjoyment in Australia.
60.According to many people’s opinion, which of the following is NOT true?
A.All people in the US live a desirable life.
B.The competition among American young people is fierce.
C.The life of the American old people is very terrible.

61.Australia is different from America because Australia_______.
A.is not a paradise for children
B.is not a struggling field for the youth
C.is not a tomb for the aged
D.has different worlds for different people
62.There is an idea of enjoyment priority in Australia because____.
A.enjoyment is more important than other aspects of life
B.a(chǎn) full relaxation will make people work better
C.enjoyment can make people happy
D.Australian people are lazy
63.The underlined part can be replaced by “ ______.
A.adjust themselves to                                      B.prevent themselves form
