What's on your travel list for 2020? I’ve consulted veral travel experts to find out the top places in
the USA worth visiting in 2020.
Where: New Orleans, Louisiana
Why: New Orleans is known for its music and food scene-not to mention the festivals.
It has about 130 festivals each year so there's really no bad time to visit. Bourbon Street is the obvious choice for food, drink and jazz and it's definitely a must-visit location, especially for first-timers to the city.
Why: Vail is the perfect destination for travelers looking to find almost everything in one central spot. Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular town with cobblestone(鹅卵石）streets for wandering leisurely. The country's largest free transportation system runs frequently, making it easy to access almost anywhere from Vail Village to Lionshead Village.
Where: Hudson Valley, New York
Why: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city when they need a healthy do of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and half north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the mountains.

Twenty years ago, I became involved in pet therapy(治疗）work. As digging deeper into the job, I had an urge to be a recorder of their daily work to let more and more people know their efforts and contributions. After all, they could not say our languages. It was when I got familiar with the work that I got my golden retriever puppy (金毛寻回犬），whom I named Angel. As she matured and went through obedience training, I realized that she would be a good partner.
Angel is ten now and still works every week. As a rule, she visits two hospitals, a day care for the
elderly, and our library's PAWS for Reading program. Angel has also helped out at a children's
special-needs camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with.
We have en some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely paralyzed(瘫痪的）on her right side from a stroke. One day, my husband, Jack asked her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded and gently took the treat, raid her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend was in the room and said, “She hasn't been able to move that hand since she had her stroke!”
Somehow it ems appropriate that when Angel visits the hospital, she also performs tricks for the patients with her paws. The best one is when she crouches on the floor and cross her paws. She stays still and doesn't move until Jack says "Best wishes". It's the best wishes for all the people Angel meets as well as for her.

D. Pets daily work is important.
25. How is Angel's work?
A. Busy but rewarding.
B. Interesting but tiring.
C. Funny and amusing.
D. Important and demanding.
26. What did Angel do for the paralyzed woman?
小提琴姿势A. She cured her dia.
B. She visited her at times.
C. She gave her best wishes.
D. She played tricks on her.
27. What is the best title for the passage?

When you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that you're dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it.
