英语口语：每日一图第161期美国亚利桑那州大峡谷Grand canyon Arizona美国亚利桑那州大峡谷闻名遐迩，是世界七大奇观之一。
位于美国西南部，亚利桑那州西北与犹他州、内华达州交界处凯巴布高原的三角地带。
由于科罗拉多河穿流其中，故又名科罗拉多大峡谷。
这一大片隆起的高原，最深处达1500米，地形险峻绮丽，地质多由花岗石构成，色彩夺目，予人身置其间，有如走进地质博物馆之感。
A famous American John Muir said in 1898: “The Grand Canyon… as unearthly in the color and grandeur and quantity of its architecture as if you had found it after death on some other star.”一位著名的美国人约翰‧缪尔曾在1898年说过：“（科罗拉多河的）大峡谷……它的色彩和构造的宏伟多样是世上所无的，就像是人消亡以后在别的星球上发现的东西。
科罗拉多大峡谷(the Grand Canyon)总面积接近3公里，任何人都不可能一眼看遍大峡谷的全貌。
只有从高空俯瞰，才有可能完整地欣赏这条大地的裂缝。
真正身临其境的人，只能从峡谷南缘或者北缘欣赏大峡谷的一部分。
这倒是应了“不是庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中”的道理。
Perhaps the most spectacular feature of the Grand Canyon, its Redwall limestone cliff, stands about half way up the chasm and is practically vertical. Its average height is 550 feet --- almost exactly that of the Washington Monument. Though it is actually gray-blue limestone, the surface of the cliff has been stained to a sunset hue by iron salts washing out of the rocks. Above the Redwall come alternating layers of red sandstone and shale1,000 feet thick, then comes the next pale-blue layer. The topmost layers are a yellowish limestone.也许，大峡谷最引人注目的风貌特色是“红墙”石灰石悬崖，它耸立在裂口半当中，几乎是垂直的。

（每空一词）Years ago, Linda Henkel, an American scientist was travelling at the Grand Canyon （美国大峡谷）.

It s just like, 'Got it —Done!' "Henkel is surprised by how much people depend on pictures for their memories. These days, people take pictures before dinner, during friends' birthday parties, and so on. They believe taking pictures will help them remember the moment However, according to Henke research, it, s not true that taking pictures will be good for people's memories.In her study, Henke）took a group of college students to visit a museum. She asked them to look at 15 exhibits （展览）carefully and then to take photos of 15 others. The next day, she tested the students, memory of the tour. She found that the students remembered fewer details about the exhibits they had photographed.Henkel explains that when people depend on their cameras, they won't pay more attention to the event themselves. As a result, they often fail to remember their experiences well.So taking pictures may prevent our brains from remembering things and places. But shouldn't looking over the pictures wake up our memories? Henkel says this is true. However, it happens only if we spend enough time doing it." In order to remember, we have to review （回顾）the photos carefully, " Henkel says, Unfortunately, most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures. Why? There are just too many of them!答案：56.
