AVisitors to Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas really follow the crowd. The park contains 47 hot springs. And tourists can take relaxing soaks at a bathhouse in the park that uses warm water from the nearby hot springs.Great SpringsAt 5,550 acres, Hot Springs National Park is the smallest national park in the United States. People have been coming to the area for hundreds of years to enjoy its natural hot baths. Starting in the 19th century, several bathhouses that offered baths with spring water opened in the region. Many visitors with illnesses went there, believing that the waters could help cure (治愈) them.The area became a national park in 1921. People aren’t allowed to take baths dire ctly in the springs. But you can still visit the one bathhouse that remains in operation at the park. You can also drink the spring water from special fountains (喷嘴式饮水器) around the park. And don’t worry about burning your tongue. When the water flows from the ground into the pools, it’s very hot. But it cools before reaching the park’s baths and fountains.Home at Hot SpringsBesides the springs, visitors to the park can also see some pretty cool wildlife.

As a child, she counted everything. She counted the steps to the road, the steps up to church, the number of dishes she wash ed …By the time she was 10 years old, she was a high school freshman, which was truly amazing in a time when school for African-Americans normally stopped at eighth grade. To meet her math potential (潜力), her father drove his family 120 miles to Institute, West Virginia, where blacks could continue high school education. Johnson’s excellent performance proved her father’s decision was the right one: Katherine skipped gr ades (跳级) to graduate from high school at 14 and from college at 18.In 1953, after years as a teacher and later as a stay-at-home mom, she began working for NASA, which began hiring women to measure and calculate the results of wind tunnel (风洞) tests in 1935. In a time before the electronic computers, these women were called “computer”. Even after NASA began using electronic computers, the astronaut John Glenn requested that she should personally recheck the calculations made by the new electronic computers before his flight.She continued to work at NASA until 1986. Her calculations proved critical to the success of the Apollo Moon landing program and the United States’ journey into space.

The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Park located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a seat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round. Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland.Walt's original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place forhis employees and their families. Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War II. By 1952, Walt hadcreated a special department that was devoted to planning his dream.Finally in 1953, the first steps in building the park happened when Walt employed the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location for the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction(建设),they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park.The building of the park was very expensive and to collect money for the project, Walt developed the idea of the ''Walt Disney's Disneyland'' television show. It turned out to be a marvelous idea—not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.Construction officially began on July 21,1954, and it was an ambitious(野心勃勃的)building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day.
