The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we had brought with us. We decided to camp along the river. The views on the journey were surprisingly beautiful,     1     (妈妈激动不已). Every time we got to a new place, Mom could hardly     2     (抑制兴奋), and would     3     (振奋起来) like a child. She would get off the car, laughing and dancing around    4     (兴奋地). The moment we arrived at the camping place,     5     (激动得尖叫起来), Mom located a clearing and immediately guided us to pitch the tent     6     (眼里闪着激动的光芒). We sat on the grass, enjoying the splendid nature.

As we     1    (靠近群山围绕的宿营地), we had difficulty containing our excitement. On reaching it, my mom opened the door immediately,    2    (冲了出去，热切地催促我们搭帐篷). The surrounding     3     (迷人的风景)was a true feast for our eyes,    4    (绿树连绵起伏，各色野花点缀其中). We were bathed in the sun and breathed in the sweet scent of fresh flowers. Birds were singing happily as if they were warmly greeting us. My family chatted comfortably,    5    (过去美好的记忆涌上我们心头).

Next week I’m travelling to Australia to visit a friend there over the school holidays. I plan to keep this blog to record my experiences and what I learn. I have already done some   r    1     on the country. Located to the south of the e    2     , below many other countries on the globe, it’s often informally referred to as “down under”.

I have also read about some i    3     sites, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Great Ocean Road, and animals like the cute koalas and kangaroos. I can’t w    4     to see all of them! However, as I major in social studies, I’m more interested in meeting people in Australia and e    5     their culture, food, and way of life.

I’m here in Sydney! Since I arrived, my friend has b    6     me to my first open-air barbecue and has also shared many different but yummy meals with me, so my first i    7     of Australia have been all about food! A lot of t    8     Australian food, such as the Sunday roast, is originally British. Bakeries, fast-food joints, butcher shops, cafes, and restaurants everywhere p    9     some of the premier food experiences in the world. The influence of Asian cultures, on the other hand, led to the introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs, along with Australian v    10     of foods like the Chinese-inspired dim sum.

My parents have     1     (要求) me to make     2     (安排) for the summer holiday     3     (详细地). Therefore, I have gone through a brochure and instead of contacting a package tour, I am planning to have a     4     (独特的) journey. First, my parents and I     5     (申请签证). Then I used my credit card to book the     6     (航班) to an ancient city. To be economic, I     7     (租) a small apartment for accommodation. Finally, I made a list of must­see     8    (景点) according to all types of comments.

Now we are     9     (收拾) luggage. After     10       (登记入住), we are going to     11     (欣赏) a castle built by an ancient architect. It is     12     (承认) that it belonged to a     13     (强有力的) empire, whose emperor     14     (控制) the site after a war. Its architecture is said to be attractive and there are some solider statues.     15     (除……以外) those     16     (极其令人惊奇的) destinations, we are planning to hike along a     17     (狭窄的小路), and unearth the     18     (景色) along it. When it’s time to     19     (结账离开), I will find happiness and experiences     20     (组成) the journey.

Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their c    1     in Halifax on the Atlantic coast. Rather than travel b    2     commercial airline all the way, they decided to f    3     to Vancouver and then take the train. For both of them, the thought of crossing the whole c    4     by rail was exciting.

B    5     starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver, seeing the sights. During their first day, as is typical of Vancouver, it r    6    . Despite the weather they were able to take a boat ride out into the bay, and later v    7     an Island that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques. The next day was clear and mild, and they were p    8     to see the beautiful mountains looking out over the city. Later they took a pleasant h    9     in a forest just a short d    10     away.

I have to admit that it     1     feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city—a city that was able to     2     itself after the earthquake in 1906. There are so many beautiful old buildings—many sitting on top of big hills,     3    great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

I believe I would be a valuable addition to your team. My English is at     1     and I have travelled to several English-speaking countries. I have also helped to organize a three-day tour of my city for     2    .

A short     1     (航班) takes you into the Amazon rainforest. You can spend 3 days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals u    2     to the rainforest. You will surely be amazed by your     3     (目的地).

Lang Ping and Michael Jordan are athletes who are m    4     in their field and     5     (树立好榜样) for others. When preparing for the 2015 World Cup, the team that Lang Ping had built was falling apart. Her     6     (determine) was tested, but two weeks later, they were world champions! Michael Jordan’s skills were impressive, which made him become known as “Air Jordan”, the mental s    7     that he showed made him unique. Jordan says that the secret to his success is learning from his f    8    .

I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to     9     (对……负责) a lot more.

It is not unusual for teenagers of young generation to     10     (addict) to computer games and online world.
