united states, and wanted to know about the best places to travel in america. today, we are going to give you some information which may help you when choosing your destination. each of the 50 states in america has interesting things to offer visitors, but some are more popular than others. washington, d.c. is famous for its historical places, like the white house and the lincoln memorial. visitors to los angeles, california can see the hollywood walk of fame or shop the stores on rodeo drive where they may see a star or two. the grand canyon in arizona appeals to hikers, climbers and nature lovers, as does yellowstone national park in wyoming. tripadvisor is a website where people can write reviews about their travel experiences. every year, tripadvisor makes a list of the top 25 cities to visit in the united states. the results are based on the opinions of visitors to the website. brooke ferencsik of tripadvisor said the top picks on the list were not surprising. and its no secret why new york city was named the number one destination. new york city is sometimes called “the city that never sleeps” because it can be very busy. it is an exciting place for many people because there is so much to do. but the city might be too busy for travelers looking for rest and calm. they might want something more like myrtle beach, in the state of south carolina, which made it to number 21 on trip advisors list. “a lot of people come to myrtle beach for great weather, its a wonderful family vacation spot, the beaches - got the wonderful atlantic beaches there - theres a lot of family-friendly parks and water parks.” many people take time off from their jobs in the summer to travel. because there are many tourists visiting other places, june until august is known as “high season.” traveling during the high season can be crowded. hotels, restaurants, and transportation might also be very expensive. if you want to save money on a trip, it is a good idea to plan to leave before or after the summer months. these times are known as “shoulder seasons” for travel. “if youre looking for value, try and think about traveling through the shoulder season if its possible - the shoulder season being the fall or the spring. the weather is still very good in some of these destinations, and you can get better prices.” americas major cities are still the most popular destinations for visitors. ferencsik says this is because of the good quality of services they provide tourists. “they do a great job of giving travelers what they want when theyre on vacation. i think they kind of cater to every type of traveler need. so whether youre traveling alone, youre traveling for business, youre traveling with your family - whatever it is, those destinations are really tuned in to delivering amazing experiences and just a lot of different opportunities when youre there.”【小题1】. lily has great interest in nature and american history. she can visit_. a. the

clothes? lets see if i can name a few proverbs “off the cuff” since i havent prepared for it.english expressions with “pants”people wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. we sometimes say that people who are restless or nervous have “ants in their pants.” they might also “fly by the seat of their pants” - they use their natural sense to do something instead of their learned knowledge. sometimes, people may “get caught with their pants down” - they are found doing something they should not be doing. and, in every family, one person takes control. sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. then we say “she wears the pants in the family.”when people what to say something about moneypants usually have pockets to hold things. money that is likely to be spent quickly can “burn a hole in your pocket.” sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. if you have less money than usual, you may have to “tighten your belt” - you may have to live on less money and spend your money carefully. but once you have succeeded in budgeting your money, you will have that skill “under your belt.” i always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. i really “take my hat off to them.” yet, when it comes to my own money, i spend it “at the drop of a hat” - immediately, without waiting. and sadly, you cannot “pull money out of a hat” - you cannot get money by inventing or imagining it.english expressions with “shoes”boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. people who are “too big for their boots” think they are more important than they really are. i dislike such people. i really do. you can bet your boots on that! yet, truly important people are hard to replace. rarely can you “fill their shoes” - or replace them with someone equally effective.english expressions with “shirt”my father is an important person. he runs a big company. he wears a suit and tie and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms. some people who do not know him well think he is too firm and severe. they think he is a real “stuffed shirt.” but i know that my father “wears his heart on his sleeve” - he shows his feelings openly. and, he knows how to “keep his shirt on” - he stays calm and never gets angry or too excited. 【小题1】. what is this passage mainly about? a. how to say english correctly and properly. b. why english expressions include words about clothes. c. which words can be used to describe my father.d. what people mean when they use some proverbs. 【小题2】. which of the following proverbs are not related to money? a. tighten ones belt b. burn a hole in ones pocket c. get caught with their pants down d. take ones hat off to them【小题3】tim often considers himself the most important person in th
