When was the last time you visited a museum in which almost every collection could be touched? American lawyer Mitch Dudek built a private museum       1     visitors can have direct contact with all the exhibits on display in the ancient city of Suzhou.

The museum     2     (name)Six Arts because it is about the six senses and stimulating all of your senses. You can touch things. You can smell things. It's different from other museums. Founded in 2018, the four-storey museum now     3    (house)more than 40,000 Chinese antiques dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties(1368-1911)，with another 60,000 items     4     (store)in warehouses(仓库).

Having never seen or used such items in his own country, Dudek is filled       5    strong admiration of the delicate designs and complicated carvings of these old items. “I think they are just beautiful, and I should collect them,” said Dudek,     6     (add) that these items may be ignored once       7     (random) packed in the warehouses, but they could shine again through restoration.

“As more and more Chinese understand and offer me some of their old     8    (belong),collections in the museum have become more varied and abundant. Now I plan to invite scholars and craftsmen to discover more     9    (culture)and historical stories behind them," he said.

“The collections not only help revisit old times but also present     10     sense of beauty,” said Xu Yun, a visitor from Shanghai.

Li Daiyu and Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada. Before starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver,     1     there were some shops selling crafts and     2     (antique). After that they took the train to Lake Louise, where the blue water took their breath away. Their next stop was in Edmonton, a city with daily temperatures averaging－10℃. They had known that Canada is a country which has vast lands but     3     small population. However, they didn’t anticipate     4     (see) such an open country. They were so     5     (amaze).The train thundered on, and the red maple trees outside the window confirmed that autumn had arrived in Canada.     6     (eventual), they reached their destination—Toronto. The whole journey took them four days.

Well, here we are in Cairo at last. This morning, we explored an old market area. It was very atmospheric and filled with lots of interesting things. I    1    (buy) a beautiful necklace for you. Mum—it looks just like one    2    Queen Cleopatra would have worn! Anyway, we’re going out to eat some more of Egypt’s national dish now.

The Jiangsu countryside stretching between the cities of Suzhou and Shanghai is home to a lot of small beautiful water towns, many of which     1     (locate) along the Grand Canal, an artificial canal connecting Hangzhou to Beijing with the aim of bringing supplies of goods to the imperial capital.

One of these towns is Tongli, which is easily     2     (access) to tourists from the nearby city of Suzhou.     3     (build) in the Song Dynasty, the town offers pleasant views and landscapes of traditional China, characterized by picturesque canals crossed by arch bridges and whitewashed houses that overlook the water.

Walking along the narrow alleys(巷), you can admire     4     interesting number of well-preserved traditional houses, temples and gardens. The atmosphere is     5    (exceptional) peaceful compared to most popular sites that are ruined by mass tourism and commercialization. Yes, Tongli is home to a great many souvenir shops and local products, but what amazed me was     6     well the town is preserved despite being open to tourism: a good balance       7     commercial activities and local life. So in spite of its     8     (popular), Tongli maintains a quiet, laid—back feeling, making it an ideal destination for visitors who seek peace and leisure.

I     9     (take) scores of pictures while touring Tongli, which I hope may inspire travelers to add this pretty water town to their trips. My impression of Tongli is so positive that I’ve been meaning     10     (go) back with my family for their first visit to China.

I’ve had my fair share of travelling around China, and a recent week-long trip to Guizhou was my first time to the province. I tried looking up the meaning and significance of the name Guizhou before the trip,     1     (basic)to have a reasonable idea of what was in store for me. But that was     2     hard task so I inquired from a Chinese colleague on the trip. From what she said, initially the province     3     (name)after a famous mountain called “Gui”, sort of noble in literal translation and “zhou”, which simply means province in Chinese.     4     (keep)that in mind I set out on a journey of discovery and     5     I found was mind-blowing, a photographer’s paradise. Generally     6     (describe)as a mountainous province in southwestern China, with Guiyang as     7     (it)capital, the province is truly one of nature’s best kept secrets. Compared to other leading     8     (province)in China, with regard     9     development, Guizhou has some catching-up to do. However, the province remains unique not only for its amazing landscape,     10     for the role it played in the political history of modern China and the role it is to play in the world.

The Universal Beijing Resort,     1    (current) the largest in scale worldwide, was open to the public on Monday, which coincided with this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival holiday from Sept. 19 to 21. The film-themed lands, rides and shows, such as the Transformers Metrobase and the Harry Potter rides, and Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness among other Universal “firsts”,     2    (be) the most popular attractions during the opening so far.

In the Hollywood zone, movie lovers will not only see a recreation of the Hollywood Walk of Fame,     3     get a behind-the-scenes film making experience at the film studios,     4     was created by Hollywood film director Steven Spielberg and Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou. More than a magical land for cinephiles (影迷), the resort is also a foodie heaven with a total of 80 restaurants and food stalls     5    (serve) all kinds of food that one can name from different movies.

    6     the first Universal Studios theme park in China, UBR has many China-related elements. For example, the Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness,     7    (inspire) by DreamWorks Animation’s Film, is Universal’s first “land” with such a theme. The land has small bridges and flowing water. Lanterns are hung in many places. Accompanied with Chinese music, visitors can eat     8    (variety) of Chinese desserts in restaurants that look like ancient buildings.

Building such an     9    (impress) park isn’t easy. But Chinese     10    (wise) and power help push it forward. It is the fifth worldwide for Universal Studios and the third in Asia, after Japan and Singapore.

The UNESCO Global Geo park (地质公园)consists of six local communities, each with their own featured     1    (attraction) ranging from mini farms to geological gardens. These communities were looking for ways to develop sustainable geotourism in this rural area.

Very recently, the Geo park acquired an     2    ( abandon) church building and will transform it into a new Geo park Centre    3     will serve not only as a community and visitor centre,but also offer a range of services and facilities. It is intended that such services andfacilities will contribute to the long term     4    ( finance) sustainability of the Geo park and create sustainable employment opportunities.

As an outdoor laboratory for local schools,the Geo park focuses on    5    fun, interactive, discovery learning style, aiming to build pride in the communities. They also work with universities    6    adult education centers covering a wide range of subjects including local geology,archaeology and architecture. The geological garden serves    7    (explain) key events in the earth's history ( creature evolution, climate change, plate structure theory etc. ), and     8    (be) a popular picnic spot. They use kite photography, geophysical surveys and seismometers (地震仪)to make learning     9    ( excite). The new Geo park Centre     10    (annual) provides hands-on learning as well as specialist talks and demonstrations.
