Oxford is a city best explored     1     bicycle or on foot. There is no central campus so it is important     2     your visit in advance, perhaps     3     up a list of places to visit and planning your route between     4    . The following resources may be     5    .

Most colleges     6     open throughout the year, at least for potential applicants to walk around the grounds. Our visiting colleges page     7     details about opening times and any admission charges (入场费) which may apply,     8     many colleges give up these for potential     9    .

Last month     1     the first time we visited my father at a nursing home in the U. S.. She     2     (shake) by the experience and later told me, ‘‘You know, in China, it’s a great shame     3     (put) a parent into a nursing home.” In China the tradition has been straightforward for centuries: parents raise children; then the children care for the parents as they become old. For example, Jiang Xiaoli, a high school teacher, and his wife recently bought     4     new, larger apartment in Shanghai. They did so     5     (part) because they know that in a few years, his parents will move in with them. Jiang’s parents will help take care of Jiang’s daughter, and as they age, Jiang and his wife will help take care of     6     (they). As China slowly develops a better and     7     (reliable) social - security system for retirees,     8     has begun, the economic necessity of     9     (generation) living together will reduce a bit. But no one     10     (believe) that as China gets richer, the family affection will change too much.
