From hutong to palaces, Beijing is home to more than 3,000 years of     1     (attract) history. But for its ancient wonders, Beijing also shows the modern life to the     2     (high) degree, with towering buildings and the cultural relics (遗迹) coexisting     3     perfect harmony. In a word, Beijing is such a city     4     the history meets modernity.

    5     (visit) it several times over the last 10 years, I became interested in this amazing city. So when I finally got the chance to work here I jumped at the opportunity to explore as much of the capital     6     I could. I have spent nearly 2 years recording everything I discovered through my camera. I’ve made many of my best     7     (discover) purely by accident, on an early morning run through one of the many parks, or while exploring a hutong     8     (aimless).

The remarkable development of this city which     9     (design) to protect the past while looking forward to the future means it always has something new     10     (offer). I will be photographing Beijing for the next 50 years and discovering more of it.

Come and explore New York. There're so many things to see and do here in the Big Apple that it would take a lifetime     1     (list) them all! But knowing you as I do, I’d suggest walking through Midtown Manhattan. It's one of the most popular tourist     2     (attraction) in the US and just can't     3     (miss)!

Broadway district with its cafes, street performers and colorful signs really    4     (represent) New York's loud spirit! As Broadway is     5     heart of the American theater industry, it's at night when it     6     (true) comes alive. Broadway is famous     7     its big theaters, showing Shakespeare, modern drama, dance shows or musicals ——take your pick! With your love of singing and interest in amateur dramatics, I'd recommend a musical. It's a moving and amazing experience     8     I'm sure you would love — a bit like Peking Opera!     9     (base) on classic stories like Les Miserables or Peter Pan, a few musicals might inspire you to read the books, too! My big news is that we’re all thinking about doing a big trip in China in the winter vacation, where we can experience different     10     (culture) features.

During this Labor Day, Chongqing gained flocks of followers and Hongya Cave was promoted as one of the hottest scenic spots in China. Are these tourists really familiar with its culture and history? Vary likely, studying the culture and history of a place can make the whole trip more meaningful and enjoyable.

Hongya Cave virtually has     1    history of over 2,300 years. It is a military fortress which     2    (date) back to ancient Ba State to the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368 - 1911), and is also the site of the     3     (early) and most developed pier of ancient China. The site now provides a place for a large scale stilt house group     4    (build) alongside a steep cliff on the bank of Jialing River.     5    you visit Hongya Cave, you can experience Bayu culture- a Chinese ethnic culture, gaze over the river, and taste delicious food. The striking night view is a highlight and should never be missed. Hongya Cave is an 11-storey, 75 meters stilt house abutting a steep cliff.    6     (tourist) will immediately fall in love with Hongya Cave because hat it has a similar     7     (appear) to a building in Spirited Away-a masterpiece of a famous Japanese cartoonist, Hayao Miyazaki. It is incredible that the first floor and the eleventh floor are accessible by two different roads. Visitors can take an elevator to each floor     8    various bars and cafes are well     9     (arrange). They can also see the symbolic Hongya Dripping on the 2nd floor, which is a small waterfall cascading down the cliff-face. By the way, getting up early can give you the approach     10    this fascinating place.

Mauna Loa and Kilauea are the most active volcanoes,     2     the American government has opened Volcanoes National Park. The island’s largest city Hino, also the second largest one in Hawaii State,     3     (stand) on the northeast coast of the island.
