In his free time he liked to play the violin. Merlin was a man with many ideas and many dreams. People called him a dreamer. One day Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room. Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised. On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skating. He rolled on, playing the violin. Then, with all eyes on him, Merlin hit into a huge mirror on the wall.

Roller Skating C Whether you are planning on camping in the backcountry for a week or simply driving along the parks’ many scenic roads, we’ve pulled together a few key tips to help you get the most from your national park vacation. When to go Most national parks see their peak crowds in the summertime, when kids are out of school and the weather and scenery are at their best. Campgrounds, lodges and hotels fill up quickly during peak travel times, and the main roads running through the parks often get blocked with cars and RV’s. You’ll often have a better experience if you visit in spring or fall, when most parks are less crowded. Planning your trip Your first stop should be the Websites of the National Park Service or Parks Canada, both of which provide up-to-date information about each park within their jurisdiction(权限). These sites offer maps, trail reports, road closure information, operating hours, activity listings, fee information and much more . Park passes If you’re planning on visiting several parks over the next year, you may want to consider purchasing a park pass. At $80 a year, the pass is more expensive than its $15 predecessor (original pass), but it includes admission not only to any national park or monument but also to any sites managed by for other government agencies. Children under 16 are admitted free. Staying safe in the parks It may seem clear that wild Animal seldom attacks visitors in national parks, but they do happen. Before you arrive in the park, be sure to thoroughly research what types of wildlife you might see and learn what to do if you find yourself in danger. Do not feed the animals, get close to them or try to pose for photographs with them. 66. Most national parks are usually crowded in ___________. A. spring B. summer C. autumn D. winter 67.
