Last January, I visited France with my parents and my younger sister who was born two years later than me. It’s my     1     (one) time to travel there. In a small town, we visited     2     Chinese restaurant and we were so surprised to find delicious Sichuan food abroad. The owner of the restaurant is a sixty-year-old man from Sichuan. He moved to the town thirteen years ago and opened     3     (he) restaurant. He has ingredients (原料) shipped     4     (direct) from Sichuan so that he can offer delicious food to people. I     5     (praise) him for his behavior in my heart.     6     he has to deal with language problems and sometimes there aren’t enough ingredients, he still tries to make Chinese food. “I just want     7     (guest) to have more chances to eat food from my homeland.” The man said.

This man has helped to spread Chinese culture by bringing Sichuan food to France. It’s the     8     (good) food I have eaten. Culture shouldn’t be     9     (separate). I think Sichuan food plays an important part     10     Chinese culture. I really enjoyed it!

Last summer, Rob and Ellie went on a great holiday. They spent two weeks travelling in Morocco! The best part of the t    1     was a two-day camel ride in the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉沙漠).

They began their trip in the city of Ouarzazate. First, they visited one of the city’s famous markets. They bought some traditional scarves to p    2     themselves from the hot sun. Then, it was time to meet the two local guides and the large camels.

At first, Rob and Ellie were a    3     to ride the camels. They were sure they would fall off. B    4     as they went on with their journey, they became relaxed and began to enjoy the beautiful desert landscape (风景).

After several hours, the sun began to set. The clouds turned r    5     and it looked like the sky was on fire. The guides stopped and began to put up their tents (帐篷) while Rob and Ellie stood looking at the s    6     in surprise. For dinner later that evening, the guides p    7     traditional Moroccan food. As Rob and Ellie were having their meals, they watched the dark sky filled with bright stars. “I’ve never seen so many stars in my 1    8     ,” said Ellie. “It’s wonderful. And the desert is so quiet.”

The next day, they set off on their camels again. In the afternoon, they finally a    9     at the small town of Tazzarine. Both Rob and Ellie were very happy to get off their camels and go to their h    10     for a cool shower (淋浴). As they said goodbye to their guides, they thought about their trip. What an exciting experience it was!

【推荐1】In northern Italy, there is a city that everybody should visit at least once. The name of that city is Venice, and it is different from every other city in the world.

Venice is a group of 118 small islands. The islands are c    1     to each other by bridges. Venice is unique because it doesn't have any streets at all. In fact, Venice doesn't even have any cars or buses. Instead of streets, Venice has canals. Instead of driving in cars, the people ride in boats.

Because Venice doesn't have any cars, the feeling there is very different. You don't need to worry about traffic, and you don't hear engines or honking horns. Plus, since there are no cars, there is very little p    2    .

Venice has changed very l    3     in the last 600 years. A lot of visitors who go there feel like they are entering the past. When you see the old churches, the silent boats and the stone bridges, you will probably have that feeling y    4    .

Many of the buildings in Venice are from the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a time w    5     there are many artists, writers and poets all over Europe. Some of the world's best art was made during the Renaissance. You can see that art when you look at the city's buildings.

One of Venice's most famous spots is St. Mark's Square. This square has three things to see. The first is St. Mark's Basilica. This is the most famous church in Venice, and it's more than 1,000 years old. Doge's Palace is about 600 years old. Today it's a museum, and it's one of Venice's top a    6    . On the north side of the square is 500-year-old building called the Clock Tower. It was built to show visitors the wealth of Venice.

Venice is like no other city in the world. It's a l    7     museum. And visiting it is an experience that you will never forget.
