A
Let’s pay a visit to some of the most amazing and unusual places in the world, from icy hotels to temples on the side of cliffs(悬崖).
Hotel de Glace — Canada
If you don’t mind the cold, this igloo(冰屋) style hotel is certainly for you. Nearly everything, including the bedding, is made of ice! This hotel is so well insulated(隔热) that whatever the temperature outside is, the temperature inside never changes more than a few degrees. It’s around 23 degrees to be exact. Since it is made of ice the hotel does have some dress requirements that can be found on their website. Arctic sleeping bags are provided for every guest, including children. For more information, visit the website: http://www.icehotelcanada.com.
The Tigers Nest Monastery — Bhutan
Built directly onto a cliff side, this ancient temple has claimed its spot since 1692. Rich in history, Tigers Nest is constructed around eight attractive caves on the mountainside. Most of the caves are easy to reach through the natural rock stairways. However, some are more difficult, and can only be reached by shaky rope bridges. Visit the website http://www.bhutantouroperators.net/taktsang-monastery.php for more information.
Dinosaur Provincial Park — Canada
Known to be one the greatest fossil locations in the world, Dinosaur Provincial Park has nearly 500 specimens (标本) in all shapes and sizes. The park itself has a vast collection of fossils and a unique natural ecosystem. For more information, please visit http://tpr.alberta.ca/parks/dinosaur/index.aspx.
Leshan Giant Buddha — Sichuan China
The world’s largest Buddha sits on the edge of two great rivers. Construction is believed to have started around the year 713, and at the time of this construction it was the tallest carved statue in the world. All 233 feet of the stature was carved from the surrounding cliffs and preserved in amazing condition. Even the 2008 earthquake was not enough to shake it.

A. politics B. environment C. education D. travel
As demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades, we must consider every possible energy source on hand if we're to meet the world's needs. And because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. But, like oil, gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where they're needed most. And that's only part of the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied（液化）natural gas（LNG）, are not nearly as developed.
