Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my friends who had been there before said it was a wonderful holiday destination. Before we went, we     1    (plan) for months. When the day came, we were ready.

After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made our reservation six months     2     (early), but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We     3     (tell) that our rooms hadn’t been reserved for that week,     4     for the week after. I didn’t understand     5     this would happen. What’s worse, the hotel had been fully booked. When we     6     (wonder) what to do, the manager came out. She was surprisingly     7     (help). She apologised for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on     8     top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren’t charged extra.

The next day, my brother and I went to the beach where we     9     (watch) some people play volleyball. We got a little sunburnt, but the day had been so     10     (relax) that we didn’t mind.

Although it was autumn, the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet. Our legs were so heavy and cold that they     1    (feel) like big blocks of ice. Have you ever seen snowmen     2    (ride) bicycles? That’s what we looked like! Along the way children who     3    (dress) in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that our water bottles froze. However, the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked     4    (wonder). Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual. She was     5     high spirits and I knew I didn’t need to encourage her. To climb the mountains was hard work but as we looked around us, we were     6    (surprise) by the view. We seemed to be able to see for miles, and we were so high that we found ourselves     7    (cycle) through clouds. After     8     while, we began going down the mountains. It was great fun especially as it slowly became much     9    (warm). At the foot of the mountains, colourful butterflies flew around us     10     we saw many sheep eating green grass. Then we had to change our caps, gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.

Pollution takes away all the beauty of the beaches of Hawaii. I hate to go to the beaches on     1     (sun) weekends and see rubbish bags    2     (lie) on the sand, cigarette butts (烟头)     3    (bury) in the sand, and soda cans floating in the ocean.

One thing that really annoys me is     4     I see tourists who visit Hawaii leave their rubbish on the beaches. I was always taught after drinking soda to throw the can into the place     5     it should stay — the trash can. Another thing that annoys me is that some people walk right by rubbish     6     pretend that it’s not there.

The dogs or the fish are not to blame for it. It’s our fault and we must blame     7    (we). Everyone has to do his or her part     8     (solve) this problem. It can’t be difficult to do the job. There are a lot of things that we can do. First of all,we can help pick up rubbish along the beaches. We could also form organisations that help clean up our beaches. More     9     (important), we need to start now before the beaches     10     (damage) beyond repair.

Peru is     1     country on the Pacific coast of South America. In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the center of the     2    (power) ancient Inca Empire. Spain     3    (take) control of Peru in the 16th century and ruled until 1821. It is for this reason     4     Spanish is the main official language of Peru. In Peru, there are many places that you can visit.

A short flight from Cusco will take you to the Amazon rainforest. You can spend three days     5    (explore) the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals that are unique     6     the rainforest.

A four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After     7     (arrive) at the destination, you will be given a day to visit the city. The ancient city will leave you a deep impression.     8    (especial) amazing is the Incas’ dry stone method of building. Stones     9    (cut) by Inca builders to exact sizes so that nothing was needed     10    (hold) walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones.

Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals,     1     it may also bring some problems.

One growing problem is that tourists want to prove they have visited     2     destination. Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the memorial stones     3     the bottom of Qomolangma, and many other places. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists     4     “love them to death”. I have three words for people like this: please stop it. If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by     5     (change) someone’s life with love. Pass     6     (kind) along to future generations, not destruction (破坏).

Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people and life. Some tourists wander around and take     7     (picture) of local people without asking for their permission. Other tourists love to party there late into the night, making     8     difficult for locals to sleep. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.

The number of problems from tourists     9     (be) endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without thinking of local traffic laws, and many more. The only way     10     (solve) the problem of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one! Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.

The Yellow Crane Tower has     1     very long history.Why was the Yellow Crane Tower built?Due to the ideal location,it was built by Sun Quan as a watchtower for his army. After     2     seemed hundreds of years,its military function was     3     (gradual) forgotten and the tower was enjoyed mainly as a picturesque location.

During the Tang Dynasty,many popular poems were written in praise of the Yellow Crane Tower.It was the Yellow Crane Tower poem    4     made the tower so famous and attractive.During the following centuries,it     5     (destroy)and rebuilt several times.

The Yellow Crane Tower had different architectural features in different     6     (dynasty). However, the tower     7     stands today is based     8     the one designed during the Qing Dynasty.How tall is the Yellow Crane Tower? It stands 51.4 meters high. The     9     (appear) of the Yellow Crane Tower is the same regardless of the direction it is viewed from.

On top of the tower,visitors are treated to a fantastic view of the Yangtze River,its bridge and the     10     (surround) buildings in Wuhan City.

Enjoying the fame of “The First Scenery under Heaven”，Yellow Crane Tower is one of the most famous towers south of the Yangtze River...
