This summer holiday, my parents took me to have a 7-day j    1    .

First, we had a trip to Qingdao. We went there by car. It took us five hours to get there. It is a beautiful seaside city. After having lunch in a restaurant, we travelled around the city w    2     resting for a moment. We went swimming in the sea, and climbed Laoshan Mountain. There were many c    3     on the mountain. When we got to the t    4     of the mountain, we were tired but we were happy. We s    5     three days in Qingdao.

In the following four days, we went on a trip to Beijing. First, we visited the Summer Palace. It is a very beautiful park. We enjoyed o    6     there. Then, we went to the Great Wall. There is a famous saying, “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” It was hard for me to climb the Great Wall. Sometimes, I need my parents to p    7     me up. F    8     , I got to the top of the Great Wall. And I became very excited. The Great Wall is w    9     enough for five horses to walk side by side. I even played games with my parents on it.

The total cost of the trip is about 4,000 yuan. It’s an experience that I will never f    10     .

From April 30th to May 9th, four of the Bronze (铜) Zodiac (生肖) Animal Heads in Old Summer Palace—the ox head, the tiger head, the monkey head and the pig head—were showed in Shantou     1     the first time.

The Animal Heads were made according to the 12 zodiac signs during Qing Dynasty. They are the symbols of 12 Shichens of the day in ancient time.     2     it comes to its time period, a Head will pour water out of its mouth.

In 1860, the Old Summer Palace was burned down by British and French forces. A lot of Chinese treasures,     3       the 12 Bronze Zodiac Animal Heads, were taken away. After that, they were lost for more than 140 years. Luckily, some of the Heads made     4     way home after 2000. By now we have succeeded in bringing eight of them back home with the     5     of many Chinese.

“One of the reasons why we     6     them to Shantou is to show our respect (尊重) for the hard-working Shantou people, and especially for the     7     with a history of 162 years.” the host of the show says. “As     8     as I know, Shantou opened its port (开埠) in 1860. It was also the     9     year when the Bronze Zodiac Animal Heads were lost abroad. So these cultural treasures happen to have a new relation with Shantou, which adds     10     special meaning to this show.”
