Think of travel in Greece, and your mind may wander to images of ferries cruising (巡航) across the Aegean Sea. Taking to the water is essential if you plan to travel between the Greek islands, but there     1     (be) plenty of other ways to enjoy Greece’s amazing landscapes, including planes, trains, buses     2     bicycles.

Cycling in Greece is growing in     3     (popular), best done in spring and fall rather than high summer. Strong leg muscles are     4     must to tackle the mountains, or you can stick to some of the     5     (flat) coast roads than the mountain roads. Some are bicycle friendly, but others have such steep roads     6     cycling is not recommended.

Overall, cycling infrastructure around Greece leaves much     7     (desire). Bicycle lanes are rare and there is a real danger from speeding cars —— driven by locals and tourists alike.

Bicycles may be carried for free on some ferries, while on others, there may be a fee, or they may not be allowed at all because of a lack of space on board.

You can rent bicycles in most tourist hangouts, but they are not as     8     (wide) available as cars and motorcycles. Prices range     9     €10 to €20 per day,     10     (depend) on the type of bicycle. Always make sure the rental cost includes the use of a helmet.

Impression West Lake is a grand evening show of music, light, and dance. Directed by Zhang Yimou, Impression West Lake     1     (update) since 2015. Included in the new version are 70 percent of elements from Hangzhou G20 Summit evening gala.

The whole performance is staged entirely upon the lake     6     (it) with hills as the background.     7     is even more amazing is “the Rain of West Lake”, which is artificially recreated     8     (bring) out the charm of West Lake in the rain.

World Cup soccer fans in Qatar cannot spend all of their time watching matches. So,     1     (enjoy) a tourist experience between games, some of them head to the desert outside Doha for camel rides and photos. Business is good for the animal handlers. They’re making much more money than usual,     2     is, however, causing trouble for the camels.

Ali is from Sudan but     3     (live) in Qatar for 15 years. On average, his company would offer around 20 rides during the week and 50 rides on the weekends. But with so many soccer fans     4     (visit) the country in recent weeks, he and his team are giving 500 rides in the morning and 500 in the evening. Usually the camels can rest after every five rides, but not during the World Cup. They give 15 or more rides     5     a row. Ali said he can tell when the camels are     6     (true) tired. Usually, they’ll either sit back down after standing up,     7     they won’t get up at all.

Not every customer expressed     8     (satisfy) with their desert trip. Pablo Corigliano from Argentina said he was hoping for a more authentic experience. The rides start on the side of a large road, just past a city known for     9     (it) oil production centers. “I thought I’d be crossing the desert,” he said, “but when I arrived, I saw     10     typical tourist point.”

Once I went to a German city for vacation. The trip left a     1     (deep) impression on me than before. It was already dark outside when I arrived at the airport at 6 p.m. The first thing was to find a place to stay. I decided     2     (call) the youth hotel. But to use the phone I    3     (need) some coins. I asked a lady for help. To my surprise, she gave me three     4     (coin) to use. But all the phones there needed phone cards which could only be bought at post-offices during the daytime. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to call the hotel.     5     old gentleman helped me. He couldn’t speak English     6     understand that I needed to make a phone call. He showed me to the phone and inserted（插入）his phone card. I called the hotel and found a place to stay that night. The     7     (kind) of German people made me feel at home.

Wherever I went, I asked people for directions. It surprised me that almost every young German could speak English     8     ( fluent). Older Germans couldn’t speak English very well, but they would try to help me whenever they could. One middle-aged man even drove me to the place I was looking for. My experience in Germany completely changed     9     (I) impression of Germans.

I thought Germans were not     10     (friend) to foreigners before, but things have changed since then. The people in Germany couldn’t be more friendly.
