Best Places to Visit in July
Norway's Fjords
Most travelers prefer to visit Norway's famous fjords (峡湾) in July because Norway has about 23 hours of

the Bastille, aParisprison, and officially began the French Revolution, overthrowing a royal government that often

takes place inParis.

Dragon boating is a team sport that has its root in ancient China. The boats are decorated with a dragon head
and tail. In recent years cancer survivor groups have got involved in the sport to help make friends and help
rebuild their lives.
On a recent Saturday morning, a group of 20 women were on a boat in the Anacostia River in Washington DC.
They moved their paddles(船桨)in rhythm to the call of a coach. The women belong to the dragon boat team
GoPink! DC, which trains weekly. It also races against other breast cancer survivor teams in dragon boat festivals.
As a result, GoPink! DC won medals in this Washington dragon boat festival.
Lydia Collins joined five years ago after finding out she had breast cancer. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I was demoralized because of my illness - I lost all interest in life and wouldn't even get out of bed to eat. But now I
love the team spirit. I just love everything about it. It is like a floating support group on the water.”
The paddles are breast cancer survivors and their supporters. Annette Rothemel helped establish(建立)the
group in 2006. She is a researcher with the National Institutes of Health as well as a breast cancer survivor. “It is
sort of an easy entry sport because on the same boat people at different levels can be doing the same sport.” But
Ms Rothemel saysdragon boating can be physically demanding, especially for someone who is sick and getting
treatment for cancer.
“It’s hard but I think you have to challenge yourself in life. This is something I look forward to. I get to be out
here with my sisters and supporters that understand what I’m going through and help motivate me. So it makes
me stronger and it makes me feel better,” another cancer survivor Rhonda Hartzel said.
Annette Rothemel says the cancer survivors feel a sense of sisterhood and share good times when they
paddle together. She says both feelings are treasured by the team.

D. she gives up hope because of her illness
6. How can the dragon boat race help the cancer survivors
A. forget their tough experiences
B. recover physically and mentally
C. get rid of the pains of their cancer
D. enjoy their rest life without sufferings

If you truly want to live, you need to get out and see the world. Traveling and living different adventures may
become your favorite lifestyle. Here is a brief introduction about the top three destinations to visit in the world.
Paris
First on the list is Paris, France. For some people, this shouldn’t be a surprise. For others, they might consider Paris
overrated as it has a reputation for being dirty. Any major city in the world might be thought to be dirty by anyone
not living in a city. It comes with the territory. The reason Paris is at the top of this list is not because of its famous
attractions but because of its charm. You can spend the day walking around cobblestone streets and enjoy elegant
