    Lakes can be as equally beautiful a travel destination as beach holidays. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus.

    Lake Van

    Lake Van is the must-visit of all lakes on this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake there. It's situated at 5,380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content.

    Lake Cildir

    Lake Cildir is located in Ardahan Province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake in Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are not aware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not harsh, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.

    Lake Paravani

    Lake Paravani is located in the south of Georgia. This time, the altitude(海拔)gets a little higher, as this lake is located at 6,801ft above sea level. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic(火山的) lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing.

    Lake Seven

    Lake Seven is situated in the central part of Armenia, in Gegharkunik Province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, located at 6,200ft above sea level. Along the lake shore, there are various kinds of accommodation such as resorts and hotels, with plenty of activities to take part in, such as windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing. Meanwhile, do not forget to visit one of the famous cultural monuments, the Sevanavank Monastery(修道院), and it offers a great view of the lake as well.

    June came and the hay(干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed(喂食) the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could no longer bear. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns(牛角) and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.

    It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips(鞭子) in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion(反抗) of the cows, which they were used to beating and whipping, just as they chose, frightened them. After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.

    Many people don't consider their breakfast without a glass of milk. Right now, cows, buffalos, goats and sheep provide most of the world's milk. But soon, people could get milk from roaches(蟑螂).

    That isn't as crazy as it might sound. New research shows this "milk" is super-nutritious. What's more, some scientists have already begun referring to a lot of insects as sources of milk.

    In 2004, Subramanian Ramaswamy started studying milk crystals(晶体) found inside the roach. At the time, he was teaching biochemistry at the University of Iowa City.

    To learn more about the milk crystal from roaches, the scientists used X-rays to look at the atoms in it. The data basically revealed the chemical recipe of the roach crystal. They showed that roach milk is a "complete food". It contains sugar with a fatty acid stuck to it. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. The protein in the milk is also full of essential amino(氨基的) acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Since our bodies can't produce the "essential" ones, we need to get them from our food. And so do baby roaches.

    Barbara Stay, a biologist at Iowa University, also worked on the new study. She says the new data show that the roach milk is "three times more nutritious than cow's milk and four times more nutritious than buffalo's milk".

    Ramaswamy would like to see roach milk turned into a protein supplement to feed hungry people. But not everyone is confident that it can be done.

    Marcel Dicke studies insects as a potential source of human food at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Dicke says this is a "sound study". However, in his opinion, "Extracting(提取) milk from roaches can only likely be done in a destructive way with only small quantities". That means you'd have to raise and kill many bugs to get even tiny quantities of the milk.

    About two years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was driving a bit too fast in his shiny, black Benz(奔驰车), which was only one months old.

    He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick(砖) sailed out and—WHUMP! —it hit the Benz's shiny black side door! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? That's my new Benz! That brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money! Why did you throw it? "

    "Please, mister, please… I'm sorry! I didn't know what else to do!" Begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" Tears were streaming down the boy's face as he pointed around the parked car. "It's my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled off the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

    Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.

    It was a long walk back to the black, shining Benz—a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Benz. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

    Peter's job was to examine cars when they crossed the frontier(边境) to make sure that they were not smuggling(走私) anything into the country. Every evening he would see a factory worker coming1the hill towards the frontier,2a bike with a pile of goods of old straw on it. When the bike3the frontier, Peter would stop the man and4him take the straw(稻草) off and untie it. Then he would examine the straw very5to see6he could find anything, after which he would look in all the man's pockets7he let him tie the straw again. The man would then put it on his bike and go off down the hill with it. Although Peter was always8to find gold or other valuable things9in the straw, he never found10. He was sure the man was11something, but he was not12to think out what it could be.

    Then, one evening, after he had looked13the straw and emptied the worker's pockets14usual, he15to him, "Listen, I know you are smuggling things16this frontier. Won't you tell me what it is? I'm an old man, and today's my last day on the17. Tomorrow I'm going to18. I promise I shall not tell 19if you tell me what you've been smuggling." The worker did not say anything for20. Then he smiled, turned to Peter and said quietly, "Bikes."

    The most (energy) and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and the coming of spring. During the Spring Festival in China, people eat (dumpling), fish and meat and may give children (luck) money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, take place forty days before Easter, usually February. These carnivals might include parades, (dance) in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important (religion) and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from dead and the coming of spring and new life. Japan's Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little (late). The country, covered with cheery tree flowers, looks as though it (cover) with pink snow.
