《里约之旅》，作者：凯瑟琳·福利特，绘者：佩妮·韦伯。 核心问题：故事里朱莉娅的态度发生了怎样的变化？

Julia and her family waited to get into the stadium. The huge crowd made her nervous. She did not remember Rio de Janeiro being so busy last time her family visited from New York. It's because of the Olympics, her cousin, Gabriella, said.

朱莉娅和家人正等着进入体育场。 密密麻麻的人群让她很紧张。 她不记得上次全家从 纽约来里约游玩时，这儿有这么热闹。 “都是因为奥运会呀，”她的表姐加布里埃拉说道。

They finally got to their seats. Julia heard different languages all around her, from Chinese to Russian. Her family spoke Portuguese so fast that Julia could not understand. She felt alone.

他们终于走到了自己的座位上。 朱莉娅听到周围人说各种语言，从中文到俄语都有。 家里人说葡萄牙语的速度太快了，朱莉娅一句都听不懂。 她觉得孤单极了。

The opening night festivities began. Everyone screamed and cheered. Julia wanted to be excited too, but their seats were so far away that she could barely see. The loud music made her head hurt. Julia had been looking forward to this trip to Rio. It was a rare chance to see her cousins and other family members. Now she just wanted to go home.

开幕夜的庆祝活动开始了。 所有人都尖叫着、欢呼着。 朱莉娅也想跟着兴奋起来， 可他们的座位太远了，她几乎什么都看不清。 吵闹的音乐吵得她头疼。 朱莉娅之前一直盼着这次里约之旅。 这可是个能见到表亲和其他家人的难得机会。 可现在她只想赶紧回家。

The next morning was quiet. Suddenly, Gabriella burst into Julia's room. Her little brother, Chaz, followed. There's another Olympic event today, she said. Julia did not really want to go. Her head began to hurt again, but she smiled and got ready. The families walked through shady streets in Gabriella's neighborhood. The block ended at a park. Gabriella grabbed Julia's hand and ran through the trees. They came out on a beach.

第二天早上安安静静的。 加布里埃拉突然冲进朱莉娅的房间。 她的小弟弟查兹跟在后面。 “今天还有一场奥运会比赛哦。”她说道。 朱莉娅其实不太想去。 她的头又开始疼了，可她还是笑了笑，起身准备出门。 两家人走在加布里埃拉家附近阴凉的街道上。 街区的尽头是一个公园。 加布里埃拉拉着朱莉娅的手穿过树林。 他们走到了一片沙滩上。

Julia stopped and stared. Rio was beautiful. Tall buildings stood along the water. A big mountain rose behind them. That's Sugarloaf Mountain, Gabriella said. White sails floated on the Blue Bay. It was an Olympic boat race. Julia's headache went away.

朱莉娅停下来看呆了。里约太美了。水边矗立着高楼，楼后耸立着一座高大的山。 “那是面包山哦。”加布里埃拉说道。 蓝色的海湾上飘着白帆，原来是奥运会的帆船比赛。朱莉娅的头疼一下子就好了。
