A Visit to Southern California原版英文小故事内容：

Erin and her best friend Amy flew into San Diego last week. They are both in their mid-20s, and both are nurses who live in Georgia. It was their first visit to California, and they were excited.

They visited San Diego’s world-famous zoo and fell in love with the giant pandas. “They are so cute,” Erin said. Then they drove north to La Jolla so that they could glide1 off the cliffs 100 feet above the beach. That was scary, exciting, fun, and expensive. They drove to the beach to get a peek2 at nudists, but no one was there. “That was a major disappointment,” Erin joked.

After visiting San Diego, they headed north to Los Angeles. They saw the Hollywood sign and visited many places in Hollywood and Beverly Hills. They hoped they would see lots of actors and actors’ homes. If they got lucky, they would get some autographs and maybe even some photographs of them standing3 next to a movie star.
