Whatever you’ve got in mind, we’ve rounded up a selection of the world’s most beautiful camping spots to get you started. ◆Yosemite National Park, CaliforniaNinetyfive percent of Yosemite National Park is set apart for wilderness, which means no cars, no buildings, and no electricity. Sleep under the stars and hike up to Glacier Point for a view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and Yosemite Falls. Make sure you store your food properly though black bears are mon! ◆Boya Lake Provincial Park, CanadaBoya Lake Provincial Park, known for the color and clarity of its lake, is a great place to enjoy any type of water recreation. The lake is also one of the few in the north that’s warm enough for swimming.

We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the“new”stuff(東西) we got was really just to replace what we’d lost. But not my necklace. My necklace was new. Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away. Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents’ when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn’t my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other giftgiving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. “You’ll recognize this one, ”she said, smiling. Then she handed me a small box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful necklace inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the necklace. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the necklace. They’d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me. 【文章大意】本文屬于記敘文, 文章主要向我們描述了在丟失項(xiàng)鏈13年后作者找到了她的項(xiàng)鏈的小故事。A. available
