27、The Complete Guide to Alberta’s Icefields Parkway

Introduction

The 144-mile Icefields Parkway is one of Canada’s most scenic road trip routes(路线) and is a must for visitors to Alberta. It has dozens of viewpoints where you can see glaciers, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, forests, and valleys. The parkway starts in Jasper National Park, and travels south to near Lake Louise, in Banff National Park. Most travelers will approach the parkway from Jasper National Park, though. The Icefields Parkway is open throughout the year, but most travelers will prefer to drive it in the warmer months.

Stops to Make Along the Way

Athabasca Falls: Around 30 kilometres south of Jasper, the 75-foot waterfalls are not exceptionally high, but they run with a large amount of water, making them some of the most impressive waterfalls in the Canadian Rockies.

Sunwapta Falls: Fed by the Athabasca Glacier, the Sunwapta Falls are divided into the upper and lower sections. The upper waterfalls are easily accessible, but you need to hike a short distance to get to the lower waterfalls. The lower waterfalls are definitely worth the walk if you want to escape the crowds in the summer. Sunwapta Falls are about 34 miles from Jasper.

Where to Get Supplies

If you’re spreading this road trip over more than one day, stock up on snacks in Jasper or Lake Louise and fill up your tank there, too. There are no major towns between Jasper and Lake Louise. In summer, there are a few places to eat and stay along the way, but prices tend to be high because of the lack of competition and the area’s remoteness.

Want to go there to have fun? Please contact us for more information.

【1】Where will most people begin the Icefields Parkway?

A．In Lake Louise.

B．In Sunwapta.

C．In Jasper National Park.

D．In Banff National Park.

【2】Which of the following is especially recommended to visitors by the author?

A．The beautiful Athabasca Glacier.

B．The lower sections of Sunwapta Falls.

C．The beautiful Lake Louise.

D．The beautiful town of Jasper.

【3】Why does the author advise tourists to prepare enough snacks?

C．There are no places to eat along the way.

29、   Childhood experiences influence a person in his/her adult life. Often, looking back can help a person go forward.【1】 Here are some examples of how unhappy childhood experiences will influence your adult life.

If you have strict parents, you may be more afraid to be punished. Children can learn results of their actions from a strict parent.【2】 This can make a person softer in life. But it can also work the other way ---- it can create a rebellious(叛逆的)character.

If you were always turned down by someone you cared about, you may become more silent. Being turned down by a parent can cause bad effects. .【3】 You probably won't make any requests to protect yourself. It can also create people who have no social skills and are ignored by others.

If you didn't get enough attention, you may be insecure. When you grow up, you may be not confident.【4】 Or, there may be a lasting comparison with brothers and sisters, partners, and other people.

【5】 You can try to make a list of any good effects the unhappy experiences brought, and then, try to think anything else you can make use of for your future. For example, if your empathy (共情能力)has been developed because of the unhappy childhood experiences, maybe a job that needs more human communication would be a good fit for you.

A.You may always think you're not good enough

B.You will require more love in your later relationships.

C.What's more, you should share your thoughts with others.

D.But when strictness goes too far, it can create a fear of being punished.

E.It can make you hide your feelings to avoid getting hurt in the long run.

F.So how to deal with the side effects of unhappy childhood experiences?

G.However, unhappy childhood experiences may cause bad effects on your adult life.
