A

Besides fun and relaxation，vacations also provide chances to learn and grow.Below are several places that every kid in America should visit.

Ellis Island Museum，New York City

About 40 percent of Americans are offspring(后代)of someone who immigrated through this station.Visiting is a powerful experience，thanks to exhibits.

Lincoln Memorial，Washington，D.C.

This is a city of inspiring(鼓舞人心的)sights：the Washington Monument，the Arlington National Cemetery，and the Jefferson and Vietnam Veterans memorials.Still the 19-foot statue of our 16th president is a can't-miss.

Colonial Williamsburg，Williamsburg，Virginia

Kids growing up with e-mail and iPods might not believe it，but there was life before electricity，and even before a United States.The 301-acre open-air museum shows hundreds of restored，reconstructed(重建的)，and historically furnished buildings，and guides who are dressed like people of that time tell the stories of the men and women of the 18th-century city.

National Civil Rights Museum，Memphis

The motel where the Rev.Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.was killed is a museum recording the African American struggle from slavery to Rosa Parks and beyond.

Redwood National Park，California

Everyone feels small，in a good way，when walking in the shadows of 300-foot-tall trees—many of which are more than 1，000 years old.

Monticello，Virginia

Besides The Declaration of Independence，one of Thomas Jefferson's other masterpieces is the estate (庄园)he designed and improved over the course of fifty years，located seven miles from the University of Virginia.

You can find more places for kids to visit and see the photos of these sights at Budgetseeing.com.

He died when I was just six years old.I remember I was taken to the hospital a couple of times to see him.The doctors had not diagnosed(诊断)what he had had.He had a rare disease.In later life，I've learned that he suffered from the disease due to eating some vegetables that dogs had urinated(撒尿)on.It's common among Mediterranean people，more than it is in America.

It was the Depression(大萧条)．After the Depression ended，my mother got married to a man，John，who was a friend of my parents.We lived in a small apartment for a year or so.Then we moved to Detroit to live with my uncle George.

This winter，Jynne Martin and April Surgent each made it to the icy continent as guests of the National Science Foundation (NSF)．But they didn't go as scientists.Martin is a poet and Surgent is an artist. They went to Antarctica as participants in the NSF's Artists and Writers program. The NSF is the government agency that funds scientific research in Antarctica. But it also makes it possible for artists，including filmmakers and musicians，to experience Antarctica and contribute their own points of view to our understanding of the continent.

Both scientists and artists began to come to Antarctica a long time ago. Some of the earliest explorers brought along painters and photographers. For example, Edward Wilson was a British painter，doctor，and bird expert who journeyed with scientist Robert Falcon Scott on two separate Antarctic expeditions more than 100 years ago.

“It's important for scientists and artists to work together，”says Surgent，who spent six weeks at Palmer Station, the smallest of the US research bases. “You need many different perspectives(视角)and points of view to explain the world.”One of Surgent's projects at Palmer was to use homemade pinhole cameras to take photographs that slowly developed over several days.

Martin followed four different scientific teams on the ice and wrote articles and poems inspired by her experience.“Each day was the new‘best day of my life’，”said Martin，who said she also loved spending time in the library at the McMurdo Station，reading the journals of early explorers.

Today's scientists write articles for scientific journals.There are also scientists in Antarctica who work hard to explain their research to the public.Scientist Diane McKnight is writing The Lost Seal，a children's book that explains the research she and others are doing in an unusual ice-free area in Antarctica called the Dry Valleys.

Antarctica is full of stories and wonders that are scientific，historical，and personal. People like Martin，Surgent，and McKnight are devoted to bringing those stories to as many people as they can.

【语篇解读】 探索南极洲离不开科学家们的研究，但登上南极洲的艺术家们也用他们独特的视角让我们更多地了解了南极这片土地。
