1 . Crossing the pedestrian bridge that connects our school to its surrounding neighborhood reminds us that there's more to Rochester than just our school.     1     By staying on campus all the time, we limit ourselves to just feeling like students and not people. Here's a list of things we can do around Rochester whenever we see it again.

    2     It's a big, wide open produce market that happens every Saturday on Union Street. They sell flowers, vegetables, fruits, and clothing, and there are a few restaurants and coffee shops along the alleyway. Often, they have live music, and once I watched a friend play their saxophone there in front of the grape stand.

Study somewhere else besides school. Go to a coffee shop, or one of the public libraries. I like the music library at Eastman, and the coffee shop across the street, Java's. Rochester is full of cafes and spots to sit and study.     3    

Go to a concert, if you're into that. The Little Theater has free live music every single night, and there's a variety of other bars and music halls that bring in local artists. Most venues offer shows for less than $10.     4     That's my favorite. Those guys are crazy, and watching them play their instruments is like being transported into a strange, shimmering world of classical music.

Go for more walks. When you're stuck, listen to music and roam around our campus. Sit under a tree and look at all the people walking by. Or take one of the shuttles that stop in front of the library to a new neighborhood, like the South Wedge, and float in and out of the small businesses along the street. Or, if you know somebody with a car, go to Letchworth and see the waterfalls.     5    

I have been in Taiyuan, the provincial capital of Shanxi, for two years since I     1    (admit) to a PhD program in Shanxi University as an international student.

Over the two years, I found     2    (I) falling in love with Shanxi and China as I got more familiar     3     the city, the province and the country. You have to adapt to everything—food, language and culture. But for me, the     4    (adapt) didn’t take a long period of time. I have got used to eating noodles for breakfast and using online payment via my smartphone very     5    (quick).

My favorite sport is cycling and I find China is very cyclist-friendly because it is convenient     6    (hire) bicycles in every city in the country. I like to cycle on     7     streets in Taiyuan and visit places I meet randomly. The cycling tours helped to deepen my understanding of the city.

Taiyuan     8    (have) a history of more than 2,500 years, among the     9    (old) cities in China. An abundance of well-preserved ancient structures, like the temples in Jinci, are the material evidence to help you get a quick look at     10     ancient China looked like.

When you picture Hawaii, you     1     (probable) think of palm trees swaying from side to side, a bright blue ocean and a white sand beach. But if you look a little closer, there’s a beautiful culture. One of the most knowledgeable people from     2     you can learn Hawaiiana is Kathryn Holoaumoka Ralar, but children would like     3     (call) her Aunt Kathy.

Liverpool, my hometown, is such     1     unique city that in 2004 it became a World Heritage Site.

I recently returned to my home city and my first stop     2    (be) at a museum on the River Mersey. When I headed toward the center, Ỉ found myself     3    (surround) by   buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe.    4     is no hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings,    5    are solid signs of Liverpool's history.

As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that there are the best     6    (collect) of Victorian paintings in the world in it. As Britain's No.1 music city, it has the     7    (big) city music festival in Europe. Liverpool is also well-known     8    its football and other sports events.

Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is     9    (certain) a place of “outstanding universal value". It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world     10    (explore).
