Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my     1     (friend) who had been there before said it was a wonderful holiday destination. Before we went, we     2     (plan) for months. When the day came, we were ready.

After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made our reservation (预订) six months     3     (early), but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We     4     (tell) that our rooms hadn’t been reserved for that week, but for the week after. I didn’t understand     5     this would happen and I had already paid     6     the reservation. What’s worse, the hotel had been     7     (full) booked. When we made great efforts to explain everything, the manager came out. She was     8     (surprise) helpful. She apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on the top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren’t charged extra.

The next day, my brother and I went to the beach     9     we watched some people play volleyball. We got a little     10     (sunburn), but the day had been so relaxing that we didn’t mind.

Traveling is for fun, but it’s not always good. Mr. Green is interested     1     traveling and he always goes for a trip during holidays. He used to travel with his good friend Tommy, but this year Tommy     2     (hurt) his knee two days before their trip. Mr. Green had to travel by     3     (he). Tommy told him to be     4     (care), but he thought he got ready for the trip and everything would go well. When he was driving, he found there were not so many cars on the road. Mr. Green felt very good all morning. In the afternoon, everything     5     (change). At first, Mr. Green missed an exit (出口). He had to drive ten     6     (mile) for another and then he got to a small town. He wanted to see where he was on the Amap (高德地图), but his phone     7     (do) work. He was about to stop to ask for help when he got a flat tire (瘪了的轮胎). He kept     8     (drive) down the road and his car finally hit an old man.     9     poor man was knocked down (被撞倒) and hurt his back. Mr. Green took the old man to the hospital and then he had to repair his car. What a mess (混乱)! Mr. Green felt very sad and he decided not     10     (go) traveling by himself again.

One day, he comes to New York. After getting     2     the train, be feels hungry and goes to a cafeteria (自助餐厅) to have lunch. He sits down at a table and waits someone to take his order (点菜).

He waits for about half     3     hour. Nobody comes. “Maybe they are too busy,” he says to himself. So he     4     for another half an hour. Still nobody comes. He is very     5     and angry. Then a woman sits next to him and begins to eat.

“     6     do you get your food?” Steve asks.

“Walk to the line over there and get the food you want. You only need to     7     for it before you leave.” the woman answers. “It’s very easy.”

Later, Steve tells his friend, “From that meal, I understand life is     8     a cafeteria here. If you move your body and use your head, you can     9     anything you want. But if you just sit and wait,     10     will bring anything to you,”
