The landscapes of North America
There are many beautiful landscapes that you can see in North America. Some are very famous national parks. You can hike, sightsee, and enjoy the lovely view there.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park
It is named for the smoke­like fog that hangs over the forest peaks. It is very pretty. One unique(独一无二的) thing about the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is that for about two weeks out of the year, there are millions of synchronous fireflies(同步发光的萤火虫)! People can drive into the park and watch the natural light show the fireflies make! How wonderful!
The Palenque National Park
Mexico also has many wonderful national parks. The Palenque National Park is one of the most famous. It is a special park because the park has an ancient Maya city! You can hike through the city and see hundreds of beautiful old pyramids.They were built by Mexico's Mayan Native Americans.
The Banff National Park
If you travel to Canada，you'll want to visit the Banff National Park. There are many things to do in this big park.Here people hike the famous Rocky Mountains. In the summer，people explore the park on a bicycle! When you get tired of hiking or biking, you can relax in one of the hot springs in the park!
The Big Bend National Park
The Big Bend National Park is located in Southwestern Texas. It has both mountains and deserts. How special! It also shares a border with both the United States and Mexico.

As I set foot in Antarctica for the first time in my life，a rush of glory ran through me.The scientists on board told me about the ozone layer(臭氧层) and the British explorer Ernest Shackelton，the second man to set foot in Antarctica.I will never forget what I was told about the ozone layer.I was told it was getting thinner and thinner because of pollution and emission gases，which eventually would change the weather balance in the whole planet.I couldn't help feeling worried about the future of humans after I heard that.
In Esperanza base there are elementary schools for kids.In Jubany base I saw igloos(拱形圆顶小屋) and it was interesting to learn that only scientists lived
there.I was allowed to get near the Antarctic animals.The penguins are my favorite because they are cute and I like the way they stick out their heads in curiosity，the way they walk and how they survive in harsh temperatures.I also saw elephant seals，which from the distance looked like rocks，I was also amazed at watching the amazing humpback whales(座头鲸) for the first time in my life.

Do you like to eat out？Do you like to eat quickly？Do you like expensive food?
Some people go to fast­food restaurant for these reasons.In the past，people usually went to diners(路边餐馆) for these reasons.In fact，many people in the states still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first“diner”in 1872.It wasn't really a diner.It was only a food cart(手推车)．People on the street walked up to the carts to buy food.These carts served late night meals.The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs.In 1887，Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside.However，they didn't sit down，later people built diners with counters and stools，and people sat down while they ate.
Before long many diners stayed open around the clock.In other words，people were able to eat in a diner at any time.Diners changed in other ways，too.The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger.It included soup，favorite dishes，and a breakfast menu.In addition，diners soon became permanent buildings.They were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1990s.They are usually buildings with large windows.Inside，the diners have shining counters with stools，booth(公用电话)，and tables and chairs.People can have all three meals in a modern diner.
Today，many people eat in fast­food restaurant such as McDonald's and Burger King.However，the diner remains an American tradition，and thousands of people still enjoy eating there.It was popular a century ago，and it is still popular today.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Carl was a quiet man.He didn't talk much.He would always greet you with a big smile and a firm handshake.Even after living in our neighborhood for over 50 years，no one could really say they knew him very well.
After retirement，he volunteered to take care of the church garden．One day，he was just finishing his watering for the day when three gang members approached him.Ignoring their attempt to attack him，he simply asked，“Would you like a drink from the hose (水管) ？”
The tallest and toughest looking of the three said “Yeah，sure ，” with a malevolent(恶意的)little smile.As Carl offered the hose to him，the other two grabbed Carl's arm，throwing him down.They robbed him of his retirement watch and his wallet，and then fled.
Although the minister of the church had witnessed the attack from his window，he couldn't get there fast enough to stop it.“Carl，are you okay? Are you hurt？” the minister kept asking as he helped Carl to his feet.
“Just some naughty kids.I hope they'll wise up someday，” Carl said.He bent to pick up the hose.He adjusted the nozzle again and started to water.
A few weeks later the three returned．Carl again offered them a drink from his hose.This time they didn't rob him.They wrenched the hose from his hand and wetted him from head to foot in the icy water.When they had finished their bullying him，they went down the street，laughing at what they had just done.
Carl just watched them.Then he picked up his hose，and went on with his watering.
A few days later，as Carl was working in the garden，he saw the tall leader of the attackers reaching down for him.He prepared himself for the expected
attack.“Don't worry，old man，I'm not gonna hurt you this time.” The young man spoke
softly and pulled a bag from his pocket and handed it to Carl.“It's your stuff back.Even
the money in your wallet.”
The man shifted his feet，seeming embarrassed. “I learned something from you，”
he said.“I ran with that gang and hurt people like you.Every time we came and did
something to you，instead of yelling and fighting back，you tried to give us a drink.You
didn't hate us for hating you.You kept showing love against our hate.”

Carl died one cold day after Christmas that winter.
Opening the door，the minister saw a familiar young man holding the notice.
【参考范文】
Carl died one cold day after Christmas that winter. Many people attended his
funeral in spite of the weather.In particular the minister noticed a tall young man
who he didn't know sitting quietly in a distant corner of the church.The following
spring a notice was put up.It read，“Person needed to care for Carl's garden．” One
day a knock was heard at the minister's office door.
Opening the door，the minister saw a familiar young man holding the notice.“I
believe this is my job，if you'll have me.” the young man said.The minister recognized
him as the same young man who had returned the watch and wallet to Carl．He knew that
Carl's kindness had turned this man's life around.As the minister handed him the keys
to the garden shed，he said，“Yes，go and take care of Carl's garden and honor him.”。
