How are you? I will have a short holiday next week and have decided to visit Shanghai for a second time. I have booked a room in the Peace Hotel. I hear it is on the Bound and has a good view of the famous Huangpu River. I will arrive on the night of March 27 and leave early on March 29. I would like to visit some of the most famous places, such as Nanjing Road and Yu Garden in Chenghuangmiao. Can you give me some suggestions on my visit to Shanghai? I will have only one day to look around Shanghai. I will be happy if you can make a tour plan for me. Please say hello to Lu Mei. I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Sandy

【推荐2】Attitude towards Space Trip

Do you want to spend a 10-day visit at the International Space Station? We have interviewed teenagers from around the world. They have different opinions about space trip.

【推荐3】Many people like traveling during their vacation. They go to mountains or the beaches. Some people like history, so they like to visit old castles (城堡), museums and so on. In many countries, the travel agent (旅行社) can help you plan (计划) your holiday. You can tell the travel agent what kind of holiday you like, how much money you want to spend, and the travel agent will give you a lot of information about where to go, how to get there, where to stay, and what kind of activities you can do there.

One of the holidays is called “package holiday”. That is, you just pay the money and tell the agent what kind of holiday you want. And the travel agent will plan everything for you, the ticket for the train or plane, the hotel, the activities, etc. Such holidays are usually cheap. That is why they are so popular.

【推荐2】Air travel makes some people very nervous. The crowds, the noise and flying itself can cause unease（不安）. But there are classes people can take to help them overcome the fear of flying. And there is similar training for service dogs that suffer the same problem.

Service dogs almost never leave the side of the people they care for. You will see them working on buses, trains and other public systems. But the busy environment found at an airport can cause dogs ants in their pants even the best trained working ones. People with disabilities depend on their dogs. They want the animals to safely guide them through safety areas. They also need the dogs to remain calm on duty on the airplane, even when the flying is not smooth. This takes special training.

The Air Hollywood K9 Flight School is one place where such help can be found. The school has a piece of equipment（设备） that provides the sights, sounds and even the feel of an airplane in flight. Dog trainers say training is based on a simple rule: preparation. Dogs need to be trained gradually to the environment, to loud noises, to sounds and other dogs so that when this experience happens to them on a daily basis, they're able to act in a way that they're used to acting and that they don't get excitable. Dog owners who attended the training at Air Hollywood K9 Flight School say they now feel much more at ease about future flights . Their dogs also seem ready for take—off.

Four books are on the teacher’s desk. A pencil case is on the desk. Two pens and two rulers are in the pencil case. A school bag is under a chair. A ball is on the floor.

The girl is Mary. She is 11. The boy is Jack. He is 12. They are in Class Two. They are friends. The teacher is Miss Smith. She is not here.
