Small-Group Tour of Angkor Wat from Siem Reap
Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat and the amazing temples is a truly unforgettable experience that makes for spectacular photos. It is a must visit when you go to Cambodia. On this tour, arrive early to beat the crowds and midday heat, enjoy a guided tour of the ancient ruins, and visit the temples of Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom, and Bayon Temple.
Tour of Angkor Wat
Start your tour with an early morning pickup from your Siem Reap hotel and travel to the Angkor Archaeological Park to experience Angkor Wat at sunrise.
After watching the grand sunrise, set out to explore Angkor Wat on a guided walking tour and listen as your guide points out attractive architectural features and details the fascinating history of the Khmer Empire.
Angkor Thom and the Bayon Temple
Angkor Thom is a smaller site than Angkor Wat but no less impressive, especially the Bayon Temple, which is famous for all the great stone towers with their mysterious smiling heads. The artistry is quite unique and truly a wonder of the world. The temples are better preserved and more interesting than those at Angkor - picturing details of people’s everyday life, rather than just battle scenes.

A cat with an accent sounds like a character in children’s tale, but Swedish scientists are trying to figure out if domestic cats actually do have different “dialects” based on their geographical location. They also want to understand if the owner’s voice might have a role to play in the way cats’ meow（猫）. If they’re successful, the team of scientists from Lund University. hope to put together a “dictionary” of cat sounds.
The project will be carried out over the next five years. SchÖtz explained that she and her team will use phonetic（语音）analysis to compare cat sounds from two parts of Sweden-Stockholm and Lund-with different human dialects, and figure out if the cats from these regions also have different dialects. They will focus on tune, voice, and speaking style in the human speech that is addressed to cats, and also cat sounds that are addressed to humans.
While it all sounds rather fanciful, the main idea behind the project is to improve the human-cat relationship. Since their domestication（驯化）about 10,000 years ago, cats and humans have learned to “talk” through audio（声音的）and visual signals. Even today, wild cats have no need for meowing in adulthood, while domestic ones continue to meow as a way of communicating with humans. And by understanding more about this communication, SchÖtz and her team hope to influence the way cats are treated in animal hospitals, shelters, and care homes.
The team will record voices of about 30 to 50 cats in different situations, for example when they want access to desired locations, when they are content, friendly, happy, hungry, annoyed, or even angry-and try to identify any differences in their phonetic patterns. They want to know if cats prefer pet-directed speech or prefer to be spoken to like human adults.
The project is yet to begin officially, but the researchers have already started testing their equipment and techniques by recording a few cats’ meowings. And they’ve already made a few interesting observations. In one of the recordings, they noticed that when a cat is begging for food its meows rise slowly. But the opposite happens when the cat is unhappy. By the year 2021, SchÖtz and her team hope to have entirely broken the cats’ code by interpreting all their meowings.
1.Carrying out the research, Swedish Scientists will mainly investigate ______.
A.how cats vary the melody of meows B.how cats communicate with their owners
C.how cats meow with a funny mood D.how cats are treated around the world
2.The main purpose of the project done by Swedish scientists is to ______.
A.find out where the cats live B.understand the cats’ lifestyle
C.build up the human-cat relationship D.make up a dictionary of cat sounds
3.According to the passage it can most probably be inferred that ______.
A.the owners’ voice plays a key role in the way cats meow
B.the research could bring about the cats’ welfare changes in shelters, for instance
C.the owners understand entirely the cats’ need through their meows
D.domestic cats live a happier life than wild ones
4.What attitude does the author hold towards the prospect（前景）of the research？
A.Optimistic. B.Pessimistic.
C.Unconcerned. D.Skeptical.
