Different Tastes for Vacation
People like different kinds of vacations. Some go outside. Others like to stay at a hotel in an exciting city. They go shopping all day and go dancing all night. Or maybe they go sightseeing to places such as Disneyland, the Tai Mahan or the Louver.
Some people are bored with sightseeing trips. They don&39;t want to be "tourists". They want to have an adventure, to learn something and maybe help people too. How can they do this? Some travel companies and environmental groups are planning special adventures. Sometimes these trips are difficult and full of hardships, but they&39;re a lot of fun. One organization, Earth Watch, sends small groups of volunteers to different parts of the world. Some volunteers spend two weeks and study the environment. Others work with animals. Others learn about people of the past.
Would you like an adventure in the Far North? A team of volunteers is leaving from Mormons,Russia. The leader of this trip is a professor from Alaska. He&39;s worried about chemicals from factories. He and the volunteers will study this pollution in the environment. If you like exercise and cold weather, this is a good trip for you. Volunteers need ski sixteen kilometers every day.
Do you enjoy ocean animals? You can spend two to four weeks in Hawaii. There, you can teach language to dolphins. Dolphins can follow orders such as "Bring me the large ball." They also understand opposites. How much more can they understand? It will be exciting to learn about these inteIligent animals. Another study trip goes to Washington State and follows orcas. We call them "Killer Whale", but they&39;re really dolphins--the largest kind of dolphin. This &39;beautiful animal travels together in family groups. They move through the ocean with their mothers,grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Ocean pollution is chasing their lives. Earth Watch is studying how this happens.
Are you interested in h/story? Then Greece is the place for your adventure. Thirty-five hundred years ago a volcano exploded there, on Santorum. This explosion was more terrible than Karate or Mount Saint Helens. But today we know a lot about the way of life of the people from that time. There are houses, kitchens, and paintings as interesting as those in Pompeii. Today teams of volunteers are learning more about people from the past.
Do you want a very different vacation? Do you want to travel far, work hard and learn a lot?
Then an Earth Watch vacation is for you.
The Tai Mahan may be __________. 查看材料

A. a shopping center
B. a hotel
C. a dancing hall
D. a place of interest

Celts? The Celts were an Indo-European group, that is, related linguistically
to the Greeks, the Germanic peoples, certain Italic groups and peoples of the
Indian sub-continent. They arose in central Europe at the beginning of the first
millennium B.C. and were an iron using and horse rearing peoples. By the end Q31
of the first millennium B.C. their cultural group had spread up and down the
Danube and Rhine, taking in Gaul, Ireland and Britain, across central Europe,
into northern Italy and northern Spain. Their roaming across Europe led some
of the Celtic tribes to sack Rome in 390 B.C. creating a fear of the northern
barbarians that was to haunt Romans for hundreds of years to come.
The Celts are defined archaeologically by the type-sites of Hallstat
and La Tene, the former being taken to relate to an earlier phase of cultural
development. Hallstat, an ancient salt mining area, was excavated from 1876 Q32
onwards by the Viennese Academy of Sciences and provided the first classification
of the prehistoric Celts. In 1858, the waters of Lake Neuchatel in Q33
Switzerland sunk to a low level, revealing a large prehistoric settlement with
a huge number of surviving artefacts. The nearby town of La Tene gave its
name to the second phase of Celtic cultural development. However, please
note that these phases overlap through time, and are defined according to
geographical area. Let's look at each of these, taking the Hallstadt first.
Hallstatt culture is characterised in 4 stages. A & B were during the Q34
late Bronze Age, from about 1200 to 700 BC; C was in the Early Iron Age,
from about 700-600 BC; D was from about 600 to 475 BC. The Hallstatt
culture spanned central Europe, with its centre in the area around Hallstatt in
Central Austria. There were two distinct cultural zones—the eastern and the
western. At the start of the period, long distance trade was already well established
in copper and tin—the basic requirements for manufacture of bronze. Q35
From about 700 BC, trade in iron also became established. The Hallstat area
also already controlled the trade in salt, crucial when there were few other
means to preserve food. Control of these two crucial trade goods—iron and
salt—provided the basis for the accumulation of wealth and influence. From
800 BC, some burials of rich people can be identified, in central Europe,
with grave goods such as wheeled wagons and iron swords.
Hallstatt C saw the construction of fortified hilltop settlements to the Q36
North of the Alps. These had burial mounds holding very high quality goods,
such as vehicles and expensive imported treasures. By the time of the Hallstart
D period, these increasingly extravagant burial mounds were clustered
around a few major hill forts to the southwest of the region. This suggests a
development and a concentration of wealth and social power, possibly based
on the development of Massilia (present-day Marseilles) as a Greek trading
port. The expansion of luxury trade brought greater opportunities for profit Q37
and helped to create an increasingly stratified society, with the development
of a wealthy nobility. Over the period from 1846 to 1863, a thousand graves
were found at Hallstatt, with an astonishing range of artefacts, including
clothing and salt mining equipment as well as weapons, jewellery, pottery
and imported bronze vessels in the "chieftains'" graves.
The La Tene era was the time of Celtic expansion and migration and Q38
the time of formation
