I am planning my summer holiday this year. I don’t know    1     I should have a lazy holiday or an exciting one. I     2    （travel）to Southern Spain with my best friends Joanna and Ling several times since 2018. We stayed in     3     four-star hotel. It was quite expensive but we really enjoyed    4    （we）and had lots of happy memories! This year, Joanna is going away with her parents to Greece, so it’ll be just Ling and me. Ling wants us to go on an adventurous holiday in Africa. She wants     5    （walk）in the desert and sleep in the open air. She says it will be more interesting and better than having a lazy holiday, because we can learn about the world around us and see some wild animals.     6    I haven’t decided where to go yet. For me, a holiday means relaxing on a beach. It always makes me have a feeling of    7    .（satisfy）

Ling says that we will see elephants and zebras and have some amazing experiences. Maybe she’s bored with lying     8     the sun all day. But will it be safe for two girls to go traveling there?    9    ,（actual）I will be a little nervous. Ling asks me to make up my mind by next Monday so that she can book the tickets. It will cost each of us $1,400 to go to Africa, but     10    （little）than half that amount for two weeks in Portugal.

In many countries, the new year b    2     on 1st January, but people start celebrating on 31st December, New Year's Eve. In New York many people go to celebrate in Times Square. While they're w    3     for the New Year, they listen to music, sing songs and have fun. Just before 12 o'clock, everyone counts down from 10:10,9,8.… As soon as it's 12o'clock, everyone s    4    very loudly, "Happy New Year!"

New Year's Day is often a family day. Some families get together for a s    5     meal. When the weather is fine, many families go out for a walk.

On New Year's Day, many people make resolutions (下决心) for the new year. They w    6    down a list of thing, such as “ I will help mother with more h    7     , I will work harder at school than others” or “I won't spend so much time playing v    8     games". When they have made their list, they r    9     it to their family or friends and promise(承诺) to follow their resolutions.

So it doesn't matter how they celebrate, for people in countries all over the world, it's time to say good-bye to the old year, and to welcome the n    10     one·

Mom and Dad were worried that I depended too much on computers. So they decided on a camping trip. That helped me stay away     1     those electronic products. Before we set out, I was     2     (require) to prepare some things that we needed, such as food, clothes and a map.

Our first day was amazing. We enjoyed nature.     3     (beauty) wildflowers waved at us. I felt like I had stepped into     4     dreamy place. I sensed the beauty of nature. After playing a while, I felt much     5     (hungry) than any time. Mum’s homemade food had never tasted so good. At night, I tried to read with a flash-light,     6     I couldn’t pay attention to the book at all. I finally fell asleep.

On our     7     (four) day, we were ready to go home. I couldn’t wait to play video     8     (game). But a funny thing happened. Soon after I started my favorite game, I lost interest in it. This camping has     9     (influence) me a lot. Mom and Dad praised me     10     (proud). Then I spent more time outdoors.

The summer holiday is coming. During this holiday, I will go to London     1     plane with my parents. In order to have a wonderful trip, I have made a     2     for it.

London is     6     for this building, and millions of tourists go there every year. We will stay there for five days. I believe that we can enjoy     7     very much.

And then, we will leave London for my uncle’s house in Pinhurst. My uncle is a good cook. He always cooks delicious meals for us when we visit him. And he is a good TV news reporter,     8    . I really like to talk with him     9     I can learn many things from him. And we will     10     one week staying there. And then, we will fly home. I think my plan is very good, and I hope all of us will have a great time during this holiday.

【推荐3】I’d never really thought about regarding a smile as a     1    (礼物) until this morning. Sometimes a smile can be the best gift you can give to     2    (其他的) people. Yesterday, I was in a grocery store. There was an old man standing in front of me with a sad     3    (表情) on his face.     4    (代替) of just walking away, I walked by him and gave him a big smile.     5    (突然地), his eyes brightened and he smiled back. In     6    (事实上), I didn’t know why he looked so sad at that time, but I knew he smiled back then. People are in a     7    (匆忙) and many are stressed out now. Why not give a gift of your smile to everyone you meet? You never know how much of a     8    (不同) you could be making in their life at that moment. Please always remember that a smile is a gift     9    (值得) giving!
