You     5     (find) Shanghai Grand Theater and Shanghai Museum there.     6     (them) are so great and you can learn about Chinese culture.

Pudong New District (浦东新区) is in the east of Shanghai. There are many     7     (bridge) and tunnels, so it is easy to travel between Pudong and Puxi.

Hawaii has always been a magic name to people who like traveling. People from all over the world dream of     1     (see) the beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. It’s always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. The sun drops like a ball of bright fire into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can even see it move.

About two thousand years ago, the first people     2     (go) to Hawaii in a very small boat. They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees.     3    , it was difficult for people to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today. Now people can get to Hawaii in different ways. More and more people go to Hawaii. Lots of nice big hotels were built last year. But the beauty of Hawaii     4     (no change) much yet. The white sand beaches and the waving palm trees are still there. People often have a peaceful time t    5     a walk along the water in the morning. At night, they get together to hold parties, chatting and dancing. So if you are thinking about relaxing yourself now, Hawaii is surely the first place for you to choose.

Five years ago, my family planned to go on trips. We first     1     (choose) to go to Chongqing, a     2     (south) city of China. Years have passed, and I really want to know about the changes between the p    3     and the present in Chongqing. So I took an online tour of the city on a website.

The night view of the buildings in Chongqing was     4     (surprise) thing of all the views during my visit. I couldn’t believe my eyes that it was so beautiful to see the city at night at present. So I decided     5     (pick) some pictures from the Internet and share them with my parents. I also dreamed of     6     (visit) there again with them.

Another thing that impressed (给……留下深刻印象) me was     7     (it) traffic. Chongqing is famous as the mountain city. On our trip, it was hard to find places of interest because o    8     the complex topography (复杂的地形). We     9     (book) the hotel on the phone, but it took hours to find it. Though there was an online map, we all still lost our way. Now, the light rails between mountain and buildings make people go around the city     10     (easy).

A small city but with a long history-that’s how I feel about this city during the journey to it. You can say that Macau     1     (自身) has come out as the biggest winner from its casino-dominated city (博彩之城). So far, Macau has been the second richest area on the earth. Also a p    2     of 648,500 within 30.5 square kilometers makes it the most     3     (拥挤) city in the world. The city is e    4     famous for its legal gaming. That’s why the local government can pay its citizens p    5     of money every year.

Macau is one of the only cities in the world where you won’t     8     (错过) the chance of trying Macaunese Cuisine. In f    9    , it’s the home to mixed food cultures. However, some     10     (情况) is getting more serious, like the damage of ancient interests. Best wishes to it!
