1 . My husband and I traveled to Aruba again to relax ourselves. We spent our time relaxing under a tree and     1     (swim) at the beach during the day, and then sharing dinners and walks in the evenings. We didn’t take any photos because we had visited the island eight times before we     2     (travel) there last week.

As we stood in line at check-in, we noticed     3     family that was on our plane a week ago; a mother and her four children, but with no dad with them this time. The father     4     (kill) in a jet-skiing accident the other day, so the vacation turned into a nightmare. And their pictures would remind them of the most     5     (forget) experience forever. I     6     (sudden) regretted that we had no     7     (photo) from this vacation together. I closed my eyes and scanned my memory, hoping that I could memorize all the wonderful moments     8     (remember) in my mind. However, I failed.

From then     9    , I began to record those moments     10     made my heart filled with love, gratitude and surprises.

4 . A record of 6.15 million trips was made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the seven­day Spring Festival holiday，which ended on Thursday，according to the China National Tourism Administration.'That is an increase of 7 percent compared with last year's Spring Festival.About 374,000 trips were organized by travel agencies，a 2.5 percent increase.

The administration also reported growth from individual and high­end(高端的) travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities，inland cities—such as those in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region—became important source markets.With many Chinese now traveling abroad for Spring Festival，their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.

“Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local cultures and services，including staying in private homes，appreciating plants and watching monkeys in hot springs，” Li Xuejing，the agency's marketing manager，said.

A Chinese tourist surnamed Guo，who was vacationing on an island in the Philippines，said：“I now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives.”

Dear Alice,

I have just got a good news to tell you. I win a national prize for painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested I go to England for a holiday. I’d like to staying there for half a month, visiting place of interest and practicing my English as well. We’ve been written to each other for nearly a year now. I have often dreamed of talk face to face with you. I imagine you’ll be at vacation yourself by that time. Perhaps you will go out do some sightseeing together.

Best wishes!
Yours
Lily

9 . Often a nickname is a shortened form of a person's name, and it can also be a descriptive name for a place or a thing. Many American cities have nicknames. These can help build up an identity, spread pride among citizens and build their unity. Nicknames can also be funny.
Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in population, after New York City. Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city's initials, L.A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means "the angels" in Spanish.
Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine. New York is called The Big Apple. So Los Angeles is sometimes called The Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate.
The American movie and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called The Entertainment Capital of the World. Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. ________________________________________________________.
Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.
A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there. Many people love Los Angeles for its warm sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and movie stars. That includes Randy Newman, who sings about his hometown.
