From the very start, Tivoli included a variety of buildings in the exotic style of an imaginary Orient. After dark, colored lamps illuminated the gardens. On certain evenings, specially designed fireworks could be seen reflected in Tivoli’s lake.

Composer Hans Christian Lumbye was Tivoli’s musical director from 1843 to 1872. Lumbye was inspired by Viennese waltz composers like the Strauss family, and became known as the “Strauss of the North”. Many of his compositions are inspired by the gardens.

As Georg Carstensen said in 1844, “Tivoli will never, so to speak, be finished,” a sentiment echoed just over a century later when Walt Disney said of his own Tivoli-inspired theme park, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Walt Disney visited Tivoli Gardens during a trip overseas with his wife Lilly. Walt was so impressed with the Danish amusement park that he immediately decided Disneyland should try to emulate (模仿) its “happy and unbuttoned (无拘束的) air of relaxed fun”

Tivoli Gardens is best known for its wooden roller coaster (过山车), Rutschebanen, built in 1914. It is one of world’s oldest wooden roller coasters that is still operating today. An operator controls the ride by braking down the hills so it won’t gain too much speed.

The world’s second tallest carousel (旋转木马), The Star Flyer, opened in Tivoli in 2006. Eighty meters high and built by the Austrian company Funtime, it offers panoramic views (全景) of the city. As Copenhagen’s crown jewel, Tivoli Gardens is a true fairytale for kids as well as their mum and dad.

WELLINGTON,NEW ZEALAND-----Two US students ,who were trapped in the New Zealand wilderness by a snowstorm trekked(艰难跋涉)to safety after surviving their nine-day trouble by rationing their limited supplies of trail mix and warming themselves in hot springs. Alec Brown and Erica Klintworth,both21,returned to the city of Christchurch on Monday after meeting up with members of a search team.

Brown’s mother, Lisa, said she panicked when she first found out her son was missing. But she had faith that Alec, an environmental science major, knew the outdoors well enough to survive, adding that Erica, who is studying graphic design, is a strong woman.

The two students, on a foreign study program in New Zealand with University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point ,had planned to hike and camp for a few days at some hot springs on the country’s South Island. But heavy rains and a snowstorm prevented the couple from being able to cross a river and return. But when they realized they were going to be stuck, they started rationing. “A biscuit and jelly one day” Brown wrote , “and even less another”

The two didn’t take much food. After three days, a steady rain started. Then on Wednesday, the snowstorm hit and it got progressively worse. But soaking in the hot pools helped keep them warm and slowed energy loss.

It wasn’t until Sunday that the river finally seemed safe enough to cross again. They prepared for their hike out by cooking a “good meal” of rice, marshmallows ,peanut butter and chocolate. They then left and crossed the icy waters only up to their waists. They were climbing the mountains under the tree cover when they first heard the helicopter. But it never saw them and they walked out just fine and met up with the search and rescue by the road.

Klintworth’s father said the two students are good at solving problems and made the right decision to wait to cross the river .Brown added the relied on his past experiences hiking and camping and felt confident in their ability to survive.

“I believe when you go into the bush you take your life into your own hands and need to be prepared to handle whatever conditions occur,” he said . “We could have been more prepared enough to walk ourselves out”.

A bookseller in Chongqing municipality has been leaving novels on trains and at stations to inspire more commuters to read, after seeing British actress Emma Watson take part in a similar project in London.

Author and bookstore owner Jiang Lin, 29, randomly paced 40 works along the city’s light-rail system on Sunday.

Jiang’s Books on the Chongqing Light Rail project follows the same model as Books on the Underground, which was started in 2012 and sees “book fairies” leave works on London Tube trains and at stations.

Those who find a book can read it in public or take it home, but they are encouraged to leave it again on public transportation once they have finished with it, Jiang said. To his surprise, one of his friends was among those who found his books and posted at picture on WeChat Moments, a social media function on the instant-messaging app. Jiang said more than 20 people have since come onboard and are now working on a more detailed plan to spread the love of reading.

Faced with the book fairy, quite a few people like Jing Lin, argue that the campaign is of great importance when it comes to helping people improve reading skill. Others, however, set forth a totally different argument, according to the situation where books left on the light-rail weren’t attached enough importance to, were damaged and even littered, that the campaign is of little meaning for it running the risk of wasting money, without bringing effect. 写作内容：

Recently, the book fairy in Chongqing underground has raised people’s awareness of reading and caused a hot debate whether it is of much significance to carry out such a campaign which has brought about negative effects.

As we all know, China’s average reading time is among the least throughout the globe , which sets alarm bells ringing. Based on the phenomenon that a large quantity of books has been ignored and damaged, the conclusion I can draw is that the event is of little significance. Moreover, the event is associated with business rather than public welfare, which is originally far from satisfactory.

From where I stand, not only should we read more books but also pick out beneficial books. Fist and foremost, communication is not optional. Only by exchanging opinions related to books with others, can we better the understand of various books , thus improving our reading ability . Last but not least, we ought to spare no effort to develop an atmosphere of reading so as to let everyone benefit from it. Every single of us should keep it n mind that it is the reading that offers pleasure and leads to our success.
