That�s because you need a four-wheel drive vehicle and a beach permit to get there. Once you do, you�ll find miles of beachfront and a historic lighthouse. Block Island, Rhode Island Accessible by ferry, Block Island oozes New England charm. It�s worth the effort to get to Mohegan Bluffs, where you can experience a set of 141 wooden steps leading down to the sand.

On-site parking is only available to village residents but there are free beach shuttles available. Jekyll Island, Georgia Located off the coast of Georgia, this 5,700-acre barrier island is famous for its nesting sea turtles and hermit crabs.

W i t h n o i d e a w h a t i t w a s or where it came from, the rover�s handlers began to worry that it might actually be a piece of the rover itself, suggesting some unseen damage or other issue with the robot. Thankfully, those concerns seem to have been unfound. In a new update from NASA the object has now been identified as a natural piece of rock rather than a piece of any man-made craft or vehicle. The team analyzed the unusual object with a tool called the Chem Cam RMI.

In fact it was found to be a very thin slice of rock, so we can all rest easy tonight. Curiosity has not begun to shed its skin! How this particularly thin sliver of rock got to where it is�and why it seems to be a different colour than the surrounding sand and debris�remains unexplained, but at least the rover isn�t falling apart. 4.What attitude did NASA hold towards the newly found thin fragment?A.Positive and excited.

C When Randy Heiss went hiking behind his Patagonia, Ariz. farm, the last thing he expected to find was a Christmas list from a little girl across the US-Mexico border. �I found this balloon on my morning walk near Patagonia on Sunday. Attached to it was a piece of paper with the Christmas wishes from a little girl,� Heiss wrote on his Facebook page. When he brought the list home to his wife, who speaks fluent Spanish, they determined that the little girl had asked for Enchantimals toys, clothes, art supplies and various other gifts. That's when Heiss set out to make the little girl's Christmas dreams come true. Heiss said he had attempted to send Christmas letters to Santa Claus via balloon when he was a kid but never received a response. Heiss sent a Facebook message on Wednesday to XENY, a radio station in Nogales, to see if it could help him track down the girl or her family. He later received a response from the station, which had determined the author of the letter was an 8-year-old girl named Dayami, and the station wanted to set up a meeting between the two on Thursday. �It just changed my entire day,� Heiss told the Washington Post. �Instead of going back to my office in Bisbee, I went with my wife to Walmart. � The couple bought almost everything on Dayami's list. They also brought a few gifts for Dayami's little sister, Ximena. They told the children they were � ayudantes de Santa,� or Santa's helpers. Heiss,60, said the experience was very healing for him and his wife. Nine years ago, the couple's only son died. � Being around children at Christmas time has been absent in our lives,� Heiss said. We now have friends for life. For a day, that border fence with its concertina wire melted away. 8.How did Dayami send out her Christmas wishes? A.By calling Heiss. B.By attaching them to a balloon. C.By writing to a radio station. D.By sending a Facebook message. 9.When did Heiss know what the girl exactly wanted? A.After the help of his wife. B.When he found the balloon. C.After their meeting in America. D.When he got a response from the radio station. 10.What might make Heiss decide to fulfill the little girl's Christmas wishes? A.His son's will. B.The girls request for help. C.His similar unsuccessful experience. D.His desire to make friends with the girl. 11.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.The couple got out of the pain completely. B.The experience was a great relief to the couple. C.The couple would help more children from Mexico. D.There will be no border between countries one day. D They block entrances, crowd street corners and tip onto their sides, turning a convenient form of transportation into a sidewalk danger that is particularly dangerous for the elderly and disabled.

The company�s founder, Colin Roche, said the sola-powered charging stations-which can accommodate any brand of e-scooter-are most suitable for areas that are often crowded with the scooters, such as bus and subway stations. As the weather warms and ridership increases, that struggle is expected to intensify. On one side of the debate, experts say, are cities whose leaders want to reduce traffic and encourage alternative, environmentally-friendly patterns of transportat i o n t o b a t t l e a g a i n s t c l i m a t e c h a n g e a n d p r o m o t e i n n o v a t i o n ( R�e) .

O n t h e o t h er side of the debate are critics who have complained about e-scooter companies for blocking walkways and selling a product whose use has led to thousands of injuries among riders and pedestrians, many of them severe. Pat Burt, a former Palo Alto mayor who is currently advising Swift mile, said the future of e-scooters could depend heavily on what happens in 2019. Cities have identified the benefits of e-scooters as well as the drawbacks, which could become existential for the companies. �If the safety and other problems aren�t addressed, I think cities will restrict them even more, �he said. �But there�s a good chance scooters will be adopted universally if these problems get solved. � 12.What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A.The elderly are easy to get injured. B.E-scooters are difficult to find. C.Many problems are caused by e-scooters. D.New inventions provide people with convenience. 13.What can e-scooter owners do at the charging station? A.Park their e-scooters. B.Get their e-scooters repaired. C.Have their e-scooters cleaned. D.Charge their e-scooters for free. 14.What benefits can e-scooters bring to the cities? A.Attracting more tourists. B.Reducing traffic pressure. C.Making the roads much safer. D.Increasing the local company�s profits. 15.What decides the future of e-scooters according to Pat Burt? A.The public�s attitude. B.The improvement of traffic. C.The solving of present problems. D.The benefits of the new business model. ,{�N���qQ5 \����k\��2 R ��nR1 0 R � 9hnc�w�e�Q�[ ��N�w�eT�v �y�-N ��Q��kXeQzz}vY�v gsO �y�0 �y�-N g$Ny�:NYYO �y�0 H o t e l s s h o u l d b e a s g o o d a s t h e i r g u e s t s t h i n k t h e y a r e .
