On October 10, Travel Alberta, the tourism organization for the province of Alberta, Canada, traveled to Beijing to promote its new project, “Glacier Skywalk,” at a p
11、ress conference. The project is currently under construction and is scheduled to open May 2014. The new attraction is only minutes away from the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Center, and is already expected to become a new Canadian landmark. The bold concept of walking amid a glacier may seem
12、unrealistic, but a glass corridor extending from the glaciers cliff will make the experience a reality. The glass corridor will function as a fully accessible walkway leading to a glass-floored observation platform 280 meters (918 ft) above the Sunwapta Valley, and will allow visitors to witness the
13、 powers of glaciology. From ice-capped mountain peaks to vast glacier-formed valleys, the Glacier Skywalk will provide visitors with a front row seat to some of natures most grandeur beauty. The project will not only become an innovative travel spot, but will also be seen as an engineering miracle.
14、Its main purpose will be to provide visitors with a brand-new viewing experience, in which one can go beyond natures edge and immerse themselves in an awe-inspiring trip in one of the worlds most unique ecosystems. Remember to breathe “Remember to breathe” is the slogan of Travel Albertas global pro
15、motional campaign. Royce Chwin, one of the developers of the project and the Chief Marketing Officer of Travel Alberta, elaborated on the idea in depth at the press conference. “Remember to breathe” is a key statement which serves as a reminder to stop, take a moment, refill your energy, remember to
16、 slow down, take in your surroundings, take it all in and to drink in the unique personal experience that you create.” For city dwellers who have a hectic life schedule for almost 365 days a year, this idea serves especially as a reminder that life resides in every breath that is inhaled and exhaled
17、, so people should never forget to slow down and enjoy every moment. China: essential outbound tourism market As more Chinese travelers embark on foreign trips, many Western countries are wooing Chinese tourists, and Alberta is no exception. “China is extremely important to Canada, we have seen a do
18、uble-digit 18% growth of Chinese visitors year after year, which is the worlds largest outbound tourism market for Alberta,” said Chwin. One advantage adding to Canadas appeal for Chinese tourists is the Approved Destination Status, a 10-year multiple-entry visa which Chinese travelers can apply for
19、 to make their travel much smoother. With more than 82 connecting flights a week between the two countries, traveling to Canada has never been easier.21.

22、 handkerchief under his shirt to wipe his neck and back. It was a year ago that the phone line had been installed, six months later men from the public works department had come to put up the phone bootha neat box-like structure, with a glass window, and wooden ledges, yellow in colour. And days aft
23、er that, a painter had taken an entire day to colour in broad, black brushstrokes, the words: STD Booth, local and STD allowded.No one could tell that the last word had been misspelled. Besides, he had taken the entire day. After he had a cup of tea, he left, waving cheerfully. And now months later,
24、 someone else was here again. Everyone watched the man as he sat on the bench. No one said a word, and soon the sound of him slurping his tea filled the hot afternoon. A few leaves fell, heavy in the heat, and sometimes a car passed, on its way to the main city farther away.When the man had finished
25、, he tried to pay but the tea shop owner who sat behind his steaming kettle and the washed upturned cups, waved him away.“You are our guest here.”So the man took his handkerchief out again and wiped his face.They crowded around him as he shut himself up in the phone booth. When the children pressed
26、their nose against the glass, he shooed them away, as he took out a shiny black instrument and placed it on the narrow shelf. A sigh of satisfaction passed through everyone that soon changed to an excited yell as they saw him dial a number, pressing a finger into the ringed dialer of the phone and l
27、etting it go all the way in a half-circle. A while later, they hear him say into the mouthpiece, “Hello.” “Hello,” the children around the booth took up the cry, the teashop owner broke into a smile and the men waiting for a bus smiled and said hello to each other. The sadhu(印度的僧人) who sat under the
28、 banyan tree nodded wisely. As the sound carried, more hellos were heard. The women winnowing grain giggled as they tried the word tentatively, the shepherds feeding their flocks called out to their sheep, laughing as they used the word. “Its a big occasion,” said the headman, in an awed(敬畏的) voice.
29、“It is.” agreed those around him. The telephone man emerged and handed over a small chit of paper to the headman. “This is the telephone number.”The headman looked at it respectfully as if it were a mantra(符咒). The others around him read out the numbers slowly, digit-by-digit.The telephone man was n
30、ow too tired to notice the cheering around him. He knew he had to wait long before the bus to take him back arrived. As he sipped his second cup of tea, he remembered something else.“Oh, you cant start using the phone now. The minister will come next month and inaugurate it.” No one said a word. No
31、one was surprised. They had waited so long; a month more did not really matter. 23.

Between 1997 and 2001, the amount of time that American children aged 8 to 10 spent on outdoor activities declined by 50%. Richard Louv, the author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Chi
37、ldren from Nature-Deficit Disorder (自然缺失症), believes this is a factor in the recent rise in childhood depression, attention-deficit disorder and obesity.Whats keeping kids indoors? Louv covers a variety of reasons, starting with the fact that 57 million Americans now live in homes governed by homeow
38、ners associations or other neighborhood groups, many of which have rules that restrict outdoor free play. School free play outside is becoming a thing of the past thanks to concerns over lawsuits from parents and the increased focus on testing. Fewer children are playing alone even in their own back
39、yards, due to parents fears about “stranger danger”.Of course, theres always soccer, right? Unfortunately, the explosion of organized sports has only served to make matters worse, without providing much of a benefit. Many towns are choosing to destroy areas of natural parkland to make room for more
40、playing fields. But the increase in sports has gone hand-in-hand with that famous rise in childhood obesity. Something isnt working.Louv presents studies that show how nature can help heal traumatized (受到创伤的) children, fascinate kids who suffer from ADHD and encourage physical exercise and social in
41、teraction. He also reminds us of the value in the kind of skill-building experiences that are unique to the outdoors like camping, fishing or constructing a tree house. Were also in danger of losing an entire generation of potential environmental activists.And guess what? Adults have nature-deficit
42、disorder too. So dont just send your children outside to play. Go with them! Dont forget to grab a fishing rod, a sleeping bag or a jar to collect fireflies on your way out. Just be back in time for dinner, okay?Title: Concerns over Nature-Deficit DisorderPhenomenonAmerican children are spending muc
