A
All young people dream of travelling around the world. They are restless and very eager to see new sights. However, they have no idea how they would really do it if given the chance, because their knowledge of geography is quite limited, and they seldom know much about the places they wish to visit or how they would get there.
Already hundreds of thousands of Chinese student tourists are visiting these places — Lhasa, Lijiang, Dali, Vientiane and Phnom Penh. Indeed, these students will soon be the most­travelled generation in ChinA s long history. The World Tourist Organization predicts that a quarter of a century from now the number of Chinese tourists going abroad will be twenty times what it is today. The largest percentage of these tourists will visit Southeast Asia. Not all Chinese who travel abroad will be tourists. More and more youths are deciding to volunteer their skills in this region, much like their peers in the Peace Corps and VSO.
Critical thinking skills required include planning for a trip and solving problems after the trip has begun. The focus is on how to read an atlas (地图集) to make travel plans and how to find ways of travelling. An atlas offers a_wealth_of information about geography and is one way to increase students' awareness of their global environment. Besides，it especially satisfies the needs of students with different visual and spatial (空间的) learning styles.

CaliforniA s Redwood National Park
Stand in the middle of the vast redwood forests and you may feel like you have stepped back in time. It's hard not to be amazed when you're staring at Earth's tallest living things. And that feeling continues everywhere in the park. Whether walking along the beaches or hiking in the woods, visitors are in_awe_of the natural surroundings, various wildlife, and quiet peace.
•History：
Old­growth redwood forests used to cover more than 2,000,000 acres of the California coast. At that time, about 1850, Native Americans lived in the northern area until lumbermen (伐木工人) discovered it. Many trees were cut down. In 1918, the Save­the­Redwoods League was formed in an effort to protect the area, and by 1920 many state parks were set up. Redwood National Park was created in 1968 even though about 90% of the original redwood trees had already been cut down.
•When to Visit：
Summers are warm. It is the busiest time of the year. Winters are cool and provide a different kind of visit. If you enjoy bird­watching, plan your visit during the spring. You may also want to consider a visit during the fall to catch the amazing fallen leaves.
•Getting There：
For those driving into the park, you will use U．S. Highway 101 whether you are traveling from the north or south. If you are traveling from the northeast, take U．S. Highway 199 from South Fork Road to Howland Hill Road.
•Fees/Permits：
One of the best things about this national park is it's free to visit! That's right! There is no entrance fee for Redwood National Park. However, if you plan on camping in the park, fees and reservations (预约) are required. Call 800­444­7275 for more information.
