Have you ever seen the tide of the Qiantang River?

The Qiantang River,     1     (locate) in Zhejiang on the southeastern const of China, stretches over more than 500 kilometers and flows into the East China Sea.

Every year     2     the eighteenth day of the eighth lunar month, people gather along its banks expectantly, eager for the     3     (arrive) of the tide. The waters of Hangzhou Bay and the Qiantang River meet on the horizon,     4     (form) a thin white line. Hundreds of thousands of tons of water     5     (dramatic) tumble (翻滚) back towards the land. The seawall contains the force of 7 tons per square meter. The waves can reach     6     maximum of 9 meters, about three stories     7     (height) and even taller than four of China’s famous basketball player, Yao Ming.

The huge tides and waves do little     8     (stop) the bold. People     9     (jump) into the powerful waves as early as the Southern Song Dynasty of China, more than 800 years ago.

It was 9:00 am     3     we arrived there. With the houses made of black bricks and gray tiles (瓦) against the white walls, the small town is like a     4     (tradition) Chinese ink and wash painting. Wandering along the riverside, I was     5     (deep) impressed by its beautiful landscape and gentle lifestyle.

The modern garden has a history dating back many thousands years. Early humans were hunters and gatherers, and didn’t usually stay in one place for a long time.     1    , they traveled from place to place following the food according to the seasons. This slowly began to change when humans remained in one place and grew     2     (they) own food.

Gardens today are places to go and relax, but have had many purposes over the years. In the past they     3     (plant) to honor the gods, or used in ceremonies like weddings. Certain trees were also sacred in some     4     (culture) — yew trees were important for Celts, as were sycamores in Egypt. Gardens were also a way to show that their owners were     5     (power).

Carefully     10     (plan) or not, gardens are still beautiful and relaxing places to visit.

Software engineer Prasas Ambati visited the market and took the landscape photographs from a nearby car park. “Those     6     (color) tents and people shopping, eating at stalls and the flashing lights were great.
