    On a rainy day in late August my family and I set out on a new trip. We traveled by car to Girdwood along the Turnagain Arm and were lucky enough to see Beluga whales on the way.

    We parked at the Hotel Alyeska. We then traveled by van(小型货车) to the Portage station where we got on the train that would take us to the Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop. It was a 20~25-minute train ride to Spencer Glacier where we got off the train and took a van to the lake.

    We went across the lake in the kayaks. It is about 1.5 miles across the lake to the face of the glacier(冰川). It was an experience to boat among the icebergs and to see the face of the glacier get closer and closer?

    We were excited to begin our hike on the glacier. It was such a thrill walking on the glacier. It rained most of the day but it was still such a beautiful trip in a lifetime experience. After about two hours on the glacier we headed back to the kayaks. The guide took some pictures before we started back across the lake.

    We were tired as it was an active day but we were also excited about the amazing trip we had at Spencer Glacier! Rain or shine, it is a journey I would love to do every year!

与虎鲸为邻的水母

    ①水母属软体海洋动物,长有细长的触须,一般体重在10公斤以下。②而生活在美国加利福尼亚州附近的深海中的水母却与众不同,它们的触须有人的手臂粗,每只水母重达60公斤,不但体型大,肌肉也比其他地方的水母强健有力。同是水母,为什么生活在这里的如此(强壮、坚强)呢?

    美国蒙特利湾水族研究所的凯文·拉斯科夫,是一位研究水母的专家。为了解开这个谜团,他对这种巨型水母进行长期跟踪研究,结果发现,与这些水母为邻的(居然、果然)都是海洋中最凶猛的动物,如虎鲸、鲨鱼等。

    为了躲避这些凶猛的动物,水母不得不快速逃命,每天的快速游动把它们的身体锻炼得十分强壮。可是,就算水母逃命的速度再快,也还是经常被那些凶猛的动物咬伤,轻则触须断裂,重则皮开肉绽。令凯文·拉斯科夫惊讶的是,这些被咬得遍体鳞伤的水母不但不会死,而且很快会从折断触须的根部长出新触须,伤口也会迅速愈合,因为伤痛刺激了新陈代谢。水母就是在这样残酷的环境里,在性命攸关的危机中,在肉体剧烈的伤痛里将自己一点点变得强大起来的。

    人一生中不可能总是一帆风顺,总会遭受这样那样的苦痛和危机。但,如果不在苦难中选择坚强与抗争,让自己在(磨炼、锻炼)中强大起来,就会被苦难一点点扼杀!
