You can slide down a seven-story-high waterslide (there are two waterslides FOR ADULTS in the park), or if it is too thrilling for you, choose the four-and-a-half-story one.

Since then it has grown to become the UKs leading family-run theme park and the fourth most popular theme park in the UK. The parks motto is“Family Run for Family Fun”. Drayton Manor Theme Park stands in an area of 280 acres and boasts 36 rides in total, including 4 roller coasters and 3 water rides. Within the park is a 15-acre zoo which houses over 100 species of animals. Drayton Manor is proud to be the first in the world for some of its rides. For instance, the Apocalypse is the worlds first stand-up tower drop ride and G Force is the worlds first X Car Coaster(apart from its original design in Germany). If you fancy a camping holiday at Drayton Manor, there is a 75-pitch camping and caravan(宿营拖车)site with onsite facilities such as toilets, showers(for the disabled, too), and security. Not only are you situated on the park itself, but you are also close to a large number of other local attractions and facilities. A day at Drayton Manor is fun for all the family. Unfortunately, there are height restrictions on some of the rides. Children over 1. 4 m can ride on all the rides by themselves. Children between 1. 4 m and 1 m must be accompanied by an adult to enjoy some rides. There are several rides which children shorter than 1 m are not allowed to ride on. There are numerous places to eat and drink, so you will never go hungry. And for the smaller children at Drayton Manor, there is Robinsons Land which had some big events happening in 2010. All in all, Drayton Manor has something for the whole family and is well worth a family day trip this summer.

You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. 1Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here are some tips for you: Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. 2Its important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject. 3Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says. Study regularly. 4Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performances on test. Develop a good attitude to tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world wont end if you dont pass a test, so dont worry excessively about a single test.

That is the question. In order to survive, we all need to cause pollution. Factories that process the food we eat, clothes we wear, and cars we drive have to cause pollution. The environment has the ability to absorb our waste or the pollution, but its absorption ability has its limits. If the pollution level is higher than what the environment can cope with, then thats the time when pollution is bad. If the pollution level becomes too high, human health can be affected badly. Then, the productivity level of the sick people is low and the economy suffers. The economy suffers not only because of the lost productivity of the people, but also because the government must pay for the damage the pollution has done to its people. This is the reason why the government prefers taxation policy. Imposing(征收)a tax on firms that pollute the environment can be considered a good strategy, as long as the tax covers all the external costs or the cost of the damage the firm has created during production. Taxation, if enforced(执行)really well, can make firms create a technology that may reduce pollution, if they find out that it will be cheaper than continuously paying the tax. The disadvantage of this policy, however, lies in the possibility that some big firms will find the tax cheap and then they will just produce more and pollute the environment more. If other small firms find the tax expensive, thus closing down, their production will be eaten up by those firms which can afford the tax. Therefore, it is important that lawmakers in each country, when deciding to impose a tax on pollutant emissions, first review and analyze very carefully the real cost of the damage. 【语篇概述】人类为了生存难免会制造污染, 虽然环境有吸收这些污染和废物的能力, 但它的这种能力是有限的, 因此需要各国的立法者加大对污染企业的惩处力度。1.
