(B)
The Hawaiian Islands are situated（位于） about two thousand miles away from North   America, right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Despite the distance the Islands actually make up the fiftieth state of the United States. The Islands were all formed by volcano（火山） eruption and on the largest of the islands, Hawai, or the Big Island, there are still two active volcanoes, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea, which still erupt every few years.                                                                           
On the Hawaiian islands the natives have a particularly strange way of indicating(指明) directions. They don't use the north, south, east and west system common to the rest  of the world. They use the mauka and makai system. Mauka means "mountain".The mountains in Hawaii are always at the center of the islands, as these are volcanic is lands. Makai means "the sea". The islands are small and the system is simple. Wherever you want to visit, it can always be described in terms of where it lies in relation to the mountains and the sea. A typical conversation(談話) between a native Hawaiian and a visitor might go as follows.                                                      
VISITOR： Excuse me! Could you tell me where the Sheraton Hotel is?            HAWAIIAN; Well ... Let me see ! From here it's two blocks mauka,and then one
block makai. You can't miss it!

　　The morning for our snowmobiling(雪上汽車)adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort．A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white．We couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions．The sun sparkled(閃光)on the snow, and the trails(路線)were completely empty－not another person or snowmobile in sight．We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around … until we got going．

　　As we drove through the deserted wilderness(荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear．I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep(陡峭的)side of the mountain scared me to death．I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop．?

　　But after lunch things changed．We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall．The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core(核心)．My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed．

　　As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive．Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me．It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do．The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away．I knew that if I didn’t take my chance now, I would regret it．

　　I signaled for my husband to pull over．I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded(重?fù)?．I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face．I smiled and sped up a little．I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day．

　　We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself – proud of overcoming my fear．

Hee-haw! Scores of farms across the country are opening up to overnight guests. The best have all the appeal of a first-rate inn ----- plus here a moo, there a moo.

Sure, you and your kids plan to conquer the theme parks. In the meanwhile, why not make a little hay? Farm stays are fast becoming the great American alternative to the pre-packaged vacation.

LIBERTY HILL FARM

Rochester, Vt.; 802/767-3926; www.libertyhillfarm.com. Adults$75, teens $50,kids 12 and under $35, including breakfast and dinner; shared baths.

Beth and Bob Kennett run a farm straight out of a storybook. You’ll find Beth in the kitchen, rolling out dough（生面團(tuán)） for a pie. Bob’s busy with other work. Guests sleep in seven sunny bedrooms right in the farmhouse and can participate in any of the farm jobs. Maybe you and your kids won’t be up at 6 a.m. to meet the milk truck, but you can help with the milking twice a day, collect eggs, and pick sweet corn and wild blackberries in season.

HULL-O FARM

Durham, N.Y.; 518/239-6950; www.hull-o.com; Adults $110, kids 10—14 $60, 5—9 $50, 2—4 $35, under 2 free, including breakfast and dinner; private baths.

It started in 1993 as a way to bring in some extra money at a time of falling milk prices. But soon after Frank and Sherry Hull opened their Catskill Mountains dairy farm to overnight visitors, they discovered they loved it. As you drive up, Sherry greets you on the porch（入口處）of the 1825 farmhouse with a cow-shaped cookie jar. Before long your kids are playing around with the cows, sheep, ducks, goats and getting ready for a hayride（乘坐裝滿干草的牛車出游）.

MERAMEC FARM CABINS

Bourbon, Mo.; 573/732-4765; http://www.wine-mo.com Doubles with private bath $75, $10 per additional person. Trail and riding fees extra.

Climb onto the back of the Ford pickup and catch up with the herd. One gentle cow named Cricket will even let the kids sit on her back. At the barn（牲口棚）, Carol will introduce you to the horses ---15 Missouri Fox Trotters --- and lead you on a trail ride over the hills and down along the spring-fed Meramec River, where everyone swims. Grab a fishing pole and head back to the river. When you have your fill of the wild, try Carol and Dave’s favorite restaurants or wineries（釀酒廠）, within 20 miles of the farm.
