With some free time during the holiday, I thought it was time to achieve one of my China     1     (dream): visiting Harbin!

That afternoon of     2     first day was time to see the fabled (传奇的) snow and ice world of Harbin. This frozen amusement park just blew me away. The giant ice statues, all illuminated (发光的)     3     the inside, were simply magical to explore; and various attractions and games, such as sledding, made the trip all the more worthwhile.

Although busy, the park was still definitely manageable, and     4     was nice to see so many families who must have traveled from far and wide all having fun. My only regret was wearing only two pairs of socks and not three, as     5     the sun went down the temperatures quickly dropped as well.

On my second day, my tour took us to the old city center. While     6     (walk) down the pedestrian (步行的) Central Street, I found architectural influences from both the present and the past     7     (be) on full display, showing an amazing mix of cultures. In some ways, it reminded me of walking down Nanjing Road in Shanghai — just a lot     8     (cold)! The freezing temperatures didn't stop visitors from enjoying the local ice cream, however.

The magic of this icy city     9     (stick) with me since and I can't wait until next winter     10     (visit) again.

Many online users have commented that the true    6    (mean) of the law should be to increase the liability for wrongdoers, rather than burdening good people.

Luo Xiang,    7    renowned professor of criminal law at China University of Political Science and Law, said that the public and judicial officers should avoid taking a “godlike” perspective or adopting a rational but armchair stance. Instead, they should consider the situation in    8    the defender was involved, empathize with the defender’s position, and refrain (避免) from making excessive demands on the defender, Luo said.

Liu Zhe, a prosecutor (检察官) from the Beijing People’s Procuratorate, said some outdated judicial concepts may lead    9    flawed (有错的) cases. Making decisions different from traditional precedent requires courage. But judicial officers need to encourage the public to fight against    10    (legal) activities.
