People visit other countries for 【小题1】(variety) reasons. Some travel on business; 【小题2】 travel to interesting places【小题3】 are only found in other countries, such as the Taj Mahal in India, the temples of Thailand, or the Pyramids at Giza.

Wherever you go, and for whatever reasons, it is important to be safe. A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local people. While the 【小题4】(major) of people you’ll meet when traveling are sure to be friendly and welcoming, there are 【小题5】(danger), theft being the most common. Just as in your home country, do not expect everyone you meet to be friendly and helpful. 【小题6】 is important to prepare for your trip 【小题7】 advance, and to take precaution (警惕) while you 【小题8】(travel)．

As you prepare your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don’t want to get to your destination only 【小题9】(find) you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport is about to expire (到期). Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travel, you will be able to get treatment. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have 【小题10】 international driver’s license.

Some people think that Oxford is the most attractive city in England. Whether this is true or not, it is certainly worth 【小题1】 visit. It is also ideal for a day trip from London, as there are regular trains and buses 【小题2】 can take you to Oxford in about an hour.

You should allow plenty of time to visit Oxford's unique and varied range of historic places. What 【小题3】 (probable) appeals to visitors most is the famous University with 【小题4】   (it) different colleges. You can look around several of these historic buildings in a day, as the majority of them 【小题5】 (be) within walking distance of one another. 【小题6】 (locate) in the city center, most of the colleges are open to visitors in the afternoon. It is a good idea 【小题7】 (check) before visiting, however, as opening days and times may vary.

The Thames and the Cherwell rivers, which flow through the city, are another major 【小题8】 (attract) for tourists. A stroll (散步) along their 【小题9】 (bank) or a boat ride is the perfect way for sightseeing. Different kinds of boats are available for hire at several central locations from April 【小题10】 September.

Chengdu has dozens of new millionaires, Asia’s biggest building, and fancy new hotels. But for tourists like me, pandas are its top 【小题1】(attract).

So it was a great honour to be invited backstage at the not-for-profit Panda Base, where ticket money helps pay for research. I 【小题2】(allow) to get up close to these cute animals at the 600-acre centre. From tomorrow, I will be their UK ambassador. The title will be 【小题3】(official) given to me at a ceremony in London. But my connection with pandas goes back 【小题4】 my days on a TV show in the mid-1980s, 【小题5】 I was the first Western TV reporter 【小题6】(permit) to film a special unit caring for pandas rescued from starvation in the wild. My ambassadorial duties will include 【小题7】(introduce) British visitors to the 120-plus pandas at Chengdu and others at a research centre in the misty mountains of Bifengxia.

On my recent visit, I held a lively three-month-old twin that had been rejected by 【小题8】(it) mother. The nursery team switches him every few 【小题9】(day) with his sister so that while one is being bottle-fed, 【小题10】 other is with mum—she never suspects.
