Last summer, I went to a beautiful beach on vacation with my parents. We     1     (stay) there for a week. The weather was always     2     (sun). In the morning, my father and I played beach volleyball. My mother read books.     3     the afternoon, we had great fun     4     (play) in the water. In the evening, we     5     (go) to the movies. We     6     went shopping. But the shops were too crowded, so we didn’t really enjoy it.

Oh, yes, there were all kinds of     7    , such as bananas, grapes and pineapples (菠萝). Pineapples are     8     (I) favourite and I ate a lot of them. On the last day, it was cool. We decided     9     (take) a walk near the beach.     10     an interesting vacation!

I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family. It was     1     (sun) and hot, so we     2     (decide) to go to the beach near our hotel. My sister and I tried paragliding. I felt like I was a bird. It was so exciting! For lunch, we had something very special-Malaysian yellow noodles. They were delicious!     3     the afternoon, we rode bicycles to Georgetown. There are a lot of new buildings now, but many of the old     4     (building) are still there. In Weld Quay, a really old place in Georgetown, we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago. I wonder     5     life was like here in the past. I really enjoyed     6     (walk) around the town.

【推荐3】The Double Ninth Festival (重阳节) usually falls in October. Every year, my parents and I take     1     trip to the mountains on this day.

We always get     2     very early in the morning. The weather     3     (be) usually cool at this time of year, so we always feel comfortable (舒适的)     4     spend our whole day there. Sticks (手杖) are usually very     5     (help) to climb the mountains. As we walk through the forest, the wind blows     6     (gentle) on our faces. The mountain roads are covered with dry yellow     7     (leaf). It’s very interesting     8     (kick) them. Everything is so beautiful! We always     9     (has) a picnic at the top of the mountain. We are     10     (excite) to eat some snacks together.

What a happy day!

One day, an old man wanted to go to London to see his daughter. He got     1     early and reached the small station at nine o’clock in the morning. This was his first trip to London, so he didn’t know what time the train leaves. He was worried.     2     that moment, he saw a little boy running to him. He stopped the boy and asked him what time     3     train leaves the station. The boy looked at the old man and said, “Tu Tu Tu”, just like firing a gun (打枪). Then he ran away.

The old man was very surprised     4     got angry. He sat in a chair and thought about the boy’s words. Then he began to smile. He could not help crying out, “    5     a clever boy! He tells me the time in such a way.” Do you know the time of the train?
