Unit 8　Adventure Period One　Warm-up Lesson 1 Adventure Holidays Ⅰ.阅读理解 A There are great places to hike all over the world.I prefer hiking in cooler，wetter climates.So earlier this year，I took a hiking vacation in Iceland.I am not sure how much most Americans know about this small island nation.But if you haven’t been there，you should go.It really is a hiker’s paradise (天堂)． I suggest going there in late spring through the summer months for the best chance of decent weather.I was there in early May and the weather was surprisingly warm，with little rain.I found a tour company online that offered many kinds of hiking tours.I chose a three-day tour that started in one of Iceland’s national parks.Our hike began in a place nearby called Nupsstadarsk Gar Valley.

Words can not express the experience of this journey.The views were surprisingly beautiful and I could see for miles because there’s so little pollution in Iceland. 1．In the writer’s opinion， .
