A city walk is     1     form of urban tourism originating in the UK. Unlike traditional sightseeing, which     2     (aim) to hit famous attractions and commercial center, usually by vehicles with tense schedules, city walk is about “roaming” (漫步) around a city on foot,     3     (absorb) the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. Such walks     4     (general) avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places     5     you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a     6     (deep) understanding of the history and culture of the city. City walkers are a cast of people who are eager to engage with the city they are visiting or live     7     their own way.     8     they want to seek is pleasure more through connection than     9     (consume), which indicates a deep cultural curiosity. Be it the hutong in Beijing or the Chinese parasol tree district in Shanghai. City walks allow people to see the scenery apart from the scene and uncover     10     (hide) knowledge. City walk is a way to love yourself and benefit your mental health. Just like Oscar Wilde once said, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”

7 . There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland. The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Park located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a seat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round (旋转木马). Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland.

Walt’s original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place for his employees and their families. Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War II. By 1952, Walt had created a special department that was devoted to planning his dream.

Finally in 1953, the first steps in building the park happened when Walt employed the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location of the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction, they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land was bought for the site of the new park.

The building of the park was very expensive and to collect money for the project, Walt developed the idea of the “WaltDisney’s Disneyland” television show. It turned out to be a wonderful idea—not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.

Construction officially began on July 21, 1954, and it was an ambitious (有雄心的) building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day. Walt watched over the park’s construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. Finally, the park was ready for the opening day on July 17, 1955.

8 . I had wished to travel abroad since I was a little boy. I grew up in India. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1990s, with great interest. My big moment finally came in the summer of 2010 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and Germany.

I had heard several great things about Lufthansa (汉莎航空) till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.

After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河) , it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.

Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline.
