Last December my mother and I 【小题1】(fly) to London. The first thing we did was to go on a bus sightseeing tour.

This is the best way to see all the sights and learn all about the history of a city. By the time the tour was over it was dark. The Christmas lights were very colorful. And 【小题2】 really impressed me was how so many people made 【小题3】(they) way home through the heavy traffic on bicycles. I was looking forward to spending the next day in Oxford Street with all its 【小题4】(amaze) shops. And what 【小题5】 experience that was! We bought a ticket for the underground and could go everywhere very quickly.

We spent all morning shopping and admiring the Christmas displays inside the shops and out in the streets. Then we went to a wax museum 【小题6】(call) Madame Tussauds (杜莎夫人蜡像馆), which had a lot of wax 【小题7】(figure) of famous people. My mother took a picture of me 【小题8】(stand) between Prince Charles and Prince Harry. From there we took a taxi to Buckingham Palace, the home of the two princes, to watch The Changing of the Guard but 【小题9】(fortunate) we couldn’t really see well as there were thousands of tourists waiting 【小题10】(take) photos of the ceremony.

After surveying more than three million visitors over the past five years, China Tourism Academy released a report on Shanghai Disneyland’s “happy tourism” and 【小题1】 (it) effect on the local economy. 【小题2】 report showed that between 2018 and 2019, over two thirds of out-of-town visitors said they came to the city because 【小题3】 Shanghai Disneyland. Between June 2016 and 2019, visitors’ consumption at Shanghai Disneyland rose rapidly, leading to an increase in the city’s profits, and visitors to the park 【小题4】 (account) for about 4.09% of the city’s tourism incomes.

【小题5】 (base) on Disneyland’s experiences, the tourism academy has found that theme parks are 【小题6】 (much) than just children’s playground. They are also one-stop destinations for people of all ages. Men and women, with or without children, young or old, come in groups and enjoy 【小题7】 (visit) here. All of them return with joy.

There are a variety of new tourist 【小题8】 (attraction) such as special parades and services in Shanghai Disneyland. They have made it a good place for people 【小题9】 (celebrate) birthdays, holidays and other important moments in the park, from 【小题10】 surrounding restaurants, hotels and many other businesses have benefited a lot.

Located at the western part of Hangzhou, just under 5km away from the West Lake, Xixi National Wetland Park distinguishes itself as 【小题1】 exceptional urban place. This park is a pioneering example of how urban life combines agriculture with culture, making it a 【小题2】 (real) unique destination. Along with Xihu and Xiling famous, respectively, for their natural scenery【小题3】 cultural heritage, Xixi National Wetland Park is one of the celebrated “Three Xi’s of Hangzhou”.

【小题4】(cover) a vast area, the park consists of three causeways(堤道) and features ten famous sights. Nearly 70% of the park is occupied by river ports, ponds and small lakes, 【小题5】 explains a wetland environment. These waterways cross the park, dividing it into distinct 【小题6】 (section): the east, the west, and the central part.

So far, the government 【小题7】 (establish) ecological protection zones as well as a sightseeing zone. 【小题8】 addition, visitors can explore the Wetland Science Exhibition Hall at the park’s main entrance conveniently.

The Xixi wetlands is an area of unmatched peace and quiet — filled with history and natural 【小题9】 (beautiful). The only true thing that can be said of the Xixi wetlands 【小题10】 (be) that if you haven’t seen them, you haven’t really seen Hangzhou.
