Welcome to the New York City Lost and Found Office. People lose     1     (thing) when they are coming here and going there. They leave（落下） things everywhere— in planes,     2     buses and trains. That’s     3     there are lost and found offices in many places.

The New York City Lost and Found Office is very busy. Many people come here every day. They want     4     (find) their phones, watches, computers and many other things. We usually have about 2,000 phones and 1,000     5     (watch)!

Now there     6     (be) also some funny（有趣的） things at the New York City Lost and Found Office. There are about 100 bikes and a car. Thẹre are many animals,     7    . This week, there are three dogs, two cats     8     a pig!

Whose（谁的） are they? Are they     9     (you)? Please come and see for yourself.     10     (This) animals are waiting for you!

After a two-day train ride, my train     1     (stop) at the Chengdu Railway Station. I expected     2     (have) an exciting trip in this city. And my expectations were realized.

I found the city to be like a cake with different taste—not only in terms of its food, but also its people.

Food in Chengdu is special. Its dishes represent Sichuan cooking. Each dish has a special name. Mapo tofu, for example,     3     (name) after the person who first made it. This dish is not very special, so most people can enjoy it. The most special food I     4     (have) has a funny name—cold noodles with sadness. It does not mean that you will feel sad when you eat it. But it means it is so special that it     5     (make) you cry. Hotpot is also a good example of Sichuan food.

The taste of Chengdu     6     (be) also sweet. One of the local foods there is called “three artillery” (三大炮). Its name scared me at first – I thought it was a kind of weapon. In fact, I only saw three balls made of rice that     7     (cover) with red syrup (糖浆). It was as sweet as honey.

You are what you eat. People in Chengdu are friendly. If you get lost, you can ask for directions on the street. Everyone is smiling. Their smiles are so sweet that it makes you     8     (want) to smile at others too. All in all, Chengdu is an amazing city.
