三、阅读理解
Taravura is as beautiful as it sounds. It is everything a Pacific city
should be. You might have imagined a seafront lined with palm trees,
seawashed beaches as white as the waves, a busy port trading in all the
products of the South Seas; you might have dreamed about houses made of
dried grass standing among tall trees, brightly painted, wooden churches,
and openair markets full of happy, friendly people, dressed as colorfully
as the flowers and the fruits they sell. If you have ever thought that you
might find all these things in one place, you were thinking of Taravura.
Taravura is all things to all men. It is a capital city, with international
hotels that will give you the warmest welcome you have ever received; with
streets of buildings old and new, and of stores big and small; with shops
full of bargains, and parks and gardens full of things to see and do. The
Government House and the President's Palace are there. The international
airport has regular and direct flights to and from cities all over
SouthEast Asia, Australia and the South Pacific. And yet Taravura does not
feel big; few of its buildings are higher than the trees; none of its
streets is so full of traffic that it is difficult to cross, even at the
busiest times of the day; and from all parts of the city you can see either
Mount Bari and its brothers, the Endi Mountains, to the North, or the
skyblue sea to the South. Nowhere in Taravura are you very far from
nature.
Until you have been to Taravura, you have not visited the city of your
dreams — truly a heaven on earth.
