My friend and I went on an exciting trip from Shanghai to Mount Wu gong in Jiangxi Province. The place 【小题1】 (know) for its extraordinary beauty, ancient culture, and a special mountain peak—the Golden Peak, 【小题2】 stands an old temple.

Mount Wugong is really high—2,000 meters above the sea, making it tough 【小题3】 (climb) up. Luckily, there are small shops along the way, so we could get snacks and drinks.

We made it to the top at sunset. It was 【小题4】 (incredible) amazing—golden clouds flowing down the mountain, 【小题5】 (explain) why it’s called the Golden Peak.We felt like we were thinking the same thoughts as people from ancient China. At night, we 【小题6】 (lie) under the stars, feeling the history of the place.

The next morning, I woke up just in time for the most 【小题7】 (wonder) sunrise ever —something that will stick in my memory forever. Afterwards, we explored 【小题8】 old temple on top of the mountain, which showed us how Chinese people connected nature with spiritual things.

Mount Wugong offered us not only an unforgettable adventure, but also a real insight 【小题9】 the depths of Chinese culture, history and the enduring bond between humanity 【小题10】 the natural world.

This summer I travelled from noisy Beijing to Wuzhen, a beautiful village in Zhejiang Province. Unfolded before me was 【小题1】 unique image of this water country—the stone bridge and the water flowing, all like fairy tales to me.

However, 【小题2】 impressed me most was not the natural scenery but the scene of a grandma bathing a little baby in a wooden basin with the door open. My friends couldn’t help 【小题3】 (take) pictures of them. To my surprise, the grandma smiled and waved at us. All of a sudden, my heart was filled with 【小题4】 (warm).

I shared the photo and my 【小题5】 (forget) experience with my friends. They were 【小题6】 (simple) moved as I was, but at the same time they reminded me of the unpleasant experiences in big cities. We feel embarrassed to see people quarreling in public because they 【小题7】 (step) on accidentally by strangers.

According to a recent survey 【小题8】 (make) in November 2016: 45 percent of the residents don’t know the names of their neighbors; 63 percent have never devoted 【小题9】 (they) to talking to their neighbors; 67 percent think that the relationship between them and their neighbors is just so-so, or even bad.

Wouldn’t it be beautiful to say hello to our neighbors who just came back 【小题10】 work and give them a smile?

Wang Wei and I have long been dreaming 【小题1】 taking a great bike trip. She was able to persuade me 【小题2】 (buy) an expensive mountain bike, and she soon got our two cousins interested in 【小题3】 (cycle) too. After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take the trip. It was my sister 【小题4】 first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from 【小题5】 it begins to where it ends. My sister is 【小题6】 stubborn girl. Although she didn’t know the best way, she insisted on organizing the trip 【小题7】 (proper). Once she has made up 【小题8】 (she) mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in to her. Several months before our trip, we went to the library and found a large atlas with good maps showing 【小题9】 (detail) of world geography. From it we got much more information about the Mekong River. We were both 【小题10】 (surprise) to learn that half of the river is in China.
