Venice is 【小题1】 attractive city between the sea and the sky. The city consists of over 100 islands and there aren’t any cars or buses.

The beauty of the【小题6】(attract) is less important than the fact that people are flocking there to daka.

A subculture of young people who embrace daka as a lifestyle has developed. So-called daka Zu—“daka tribes”—can【小题7】(find) roaming various scenic spots, checking out as many hot locations【小题8】possible within a single day.

The daka craze may have【小题9】(practice)origins. China’s young urban professionals don’t have so much free time. Sometimes, they need to work overtime. So they have to make the best use of their【小题10】(limit) leisure time. Douyin captures the mood with its slogan.“ Make every second count.”
