In recent years two families of Saskatchewan have converted old round metal grain bins into unlikely accommodations, and opened their yards for visitors to stay.
Grain farmers April Anderson and her husband run Alive Sky Lodge, outside of Rosetown, Saskatchewan. The property’s accommodations include Canada’s original four-season luxury grain bin, April Anderson says—they’ve named it BINcredible and it is generally booked full May through August.
"We were trying to think of what we could build that would be typical prairie (北美草原) accommodation, " said Anderson.
The interior of their fashionable grain bin features a vaulted (拱形的) ceiling with some of the bin’s original metal finish along the wall. It also has a’bed, kitchen, in-floor heat and fireplace. It is designed to help people feel comfortable and relaxed, Anderson says.
Anderson is passionate about giving visitors an authentic farm experience, which is why they are insured to ride along on their family’s farm equipment. They are also strong believers in promoting rural Saskatchewan through agritourism, and Anderson says the bin has sparked conversations with curious guests, some of whom hail from Europe and the United States.
Julie Hilling and her husband are retired grain farmers near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, who heard there was a lack of group camping in their area close to Buffalo Pound Provincial Park. This past June, they opened the Bin There Campground after transforming six leftover grain bins into two floor cabins with skylights and an old seed-cleaning plant into a hall.
" I call this whole operation here ’Saskatchewan recycling, ’ " said Julie Hilling.
Some of their bins are from the ’ 70s and ’ 80s, and at first it was a challenge to do the carpentry work inside because of their round shape, she said.
Hilling is surprised by their popularity and by how many people are looking for somewhen different to stay.
Both she and Anderson agree that spending the night inside an old grain bin is a novelty for guests, but Anderson believes it means something more to locals.
" People want to reconnect with their roots, " she said, adding many of their Saskatchewan visitors are two or three generations removed from living on a farm, or haven’t been back to one since they were kids.
"It’s all of the great reminders of growing up for a lot of people; The dogs. The farmyard. Seeing the tractors drive through the yard. "
According to Anderson, why do local guests show interest in the grain bins?
选项
A、They want to join a different community.
B、They want to relive their traditional life.
C、They want to contribute to agritourism.
D、They want to help with bin recycling.
答案
B
解析
主旨大意题。由最后三段话可知,Anderson认为,在一个旧粮仓里过夜对客人来说是件新奇的事,这对当地人来说更有意义。人们想要与自己的根重新联系起来,萨斯喀彻温省游客中,有很多是两三代人离开了农场,或者从小就没有回到过农场。狗、农场、看着拖拉机穿过院子,这些对很多人来说都是成长的见证。即他们想重新感受他们的传统生活。故选B。
