Here are 4 ideas for an unusual holiday in Europe.

In addition, you can take your unusual holiday experience even further by volunteering in Eastern Europe’s largest bear reserve and working with bears.

There are various activities that combine sightseeing with basic horse riding lessons and you can stay in Renaissance villas (文 艺复兴风格的别墅) and farmhouses.

B Overlooking the Davis-Gant Varsity Soccer Field, a bed of overturned soil waits for further development. In a few years, this area will become a natural habitat and a playground for animals and residents. This peaceful area didn’t appear naturally, but through planning and action taken by Catlin Gabel’s Tiny Forest project launched by teacher Patrick Walsh. Forests typically take hundreds of years to mature, with four stages of growth. “Tiny forests shorten the time through the planting of all four layers,” Walsh explained. The end result is a fast-growing, native forest in about 20 years. Over 600 plants from 43 species will be planted in the tiny forest, the first one in Oregon. Walsh was inspired to build a tiny forest after hearing about this idea, which emerged in Japan and has taken hold in North America. He shared his vision with seniors in his class. The seniors researched tiny forests and made a proposal resulting in Clean Water Services donating 60 trees and $5,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Armed with these resources, Walsh and the students started working. “Something I didn’t really expect was the outpouring of students’ enthusiasm. Seeing students from all grades volunteered to contribute to the ‘dirty work’ really blew me away,” Walsh said. Senior Megan Cover has been at the school since the first grade. “I’ll graduate after working on this project, which is surely sad, but it’s really rewarding and great to be a part of this project and do my bit. We’re creating this educational space for many young kids,” Cover said. Walsh summed up his goal of the project, which is to build a place where students can enjoy and learn about nature. “The forest will obviously not solve climate change, but it would deserve the efforts if the kids think about climate change and remember the importance of reforestation (重新造林) and trees when they look at the forest.” 24. What is special about tiny forests? A. They originated in North America. B. They are usually planted in schools. C. They contain various types of trees. D. They become mature in a shorter time. 25. What surprised Walsh in the process of planting the tiny forest? A. The active participation of students. B. Public concern about the environment. C. The abundance of native tree species. D. Support from local organizations. 26. How does Megan Cover feel about the project? A. Doubtful. B. Proud. 5 C. Indifferent. D. Disappointed. 27. What does Walsh want the forest to function as for the students? A. A witness. B. A passer-by. C. A reminder. D. An assistant.
