Unit 1

A land of diversity

【导语】 说起美国加州，人们不禁想起原始红杉国家森林(Wild Sequoia National Forest)和美丽的纳帕谷酒乡(Napa Valley Wine Country)。

California's Wild Sequoia National Forest

If you are looking for an exciting trip to America but don't want to spend a lot

of money，visiting California's Redwood forest may be the thing to do.The Sequoia

trees，as they are formally called，reach an average height of 280 feet/85 metres tall

and up to 30 feet/9 metres across.These massive trees are large enough to carve a tunnel

through them and drive your car through!

The Beautiful Napa Valley Wine Country

Maybe visiting the wine country of Napa Valley is more along your tastes.The Napa

Valley is，by far，the most popular wine producing area in the United States with many

locally owned wineries having won international competitions.
