On our way to the house, it was raining 【小题1】hard that we couldn’t help wondering how long we would spend 【小题2】(get) there. It was in the middle of Pearl City.

We were first greeted with the barking by a pack【小题3】dogs, seven to be exact. They were well trained by their owners 【小题4】had great experience with caring for these animals. Our hosts shared many of their experiences and【小题5】 (recommend) wonderful places to eat, shop, and visit. For breakfast, we were able to eat papaya(木瓜) and other fruits from their trees in the backyard.

When they were free from work, they invited us to local events and let us know of 【小题6】 unique competition to watch, together with the story behind it. They also shared with us many【小题7】(tradition) stories about Hawaii that were 【小题8】(extreme) popular with tourists. On the last day of our week-long stay, we 【小题9】(invite) to attend a private concert on a beautiful farm on the North Shore under the stars, listening to musicians【小题10】 meeting interesting locals.

“Military-style” travel has become the 【小题1】 (late) fashion among Chinese college students. Videos of them taking such trips 【小题2】 (trend) on social media platforms in recent years. The reason why it has become so popular is 【小题3】 college students can spend as little money as possible traveling to as many places as they can during the weekend. They usually hop on a regular-speed train on a Friday night, arrive at the destination city and travel 【小题4】 (extensive) there on Saturday. Then, they can repeat the same busy schedule 【小题5】 returning to their universities on Monday morning.

Different people have different views, with some netizens 【小题6】 (praise) these college students for their high ability to implement their plans. However, others doubt 【小题7】 such a tight schedule is healthy.

According to some experts, the “military-style” travel is a form of budget travel appealing to specific groups of people who are less 【小题8】 (concern) with in-depth experiences and more focused on checking off popular tourist destinations. Therefore, this has led to the emergence of a type of tourism 【小题9】 travelers are willing to sacrifice comfort for 【小题10】 (affordable) and convenience.

Nowadays, time travel is just about everywhere you look,【小题1】films to TV shows and even literature.Our society has become obsessed with the idea of traveling through time.

However, that wasn't true just 150 years ago.The gate was opened by H.G.Wells' novel, The Time Machine, which 【小题2】 (publish) in 1895.In this book, Wells describes a man who builds a machine that enables him 【小题3】 (move) throughout the course of history and into the future.The story is important because it views time as something 【小题4】 (flow).

Before this book came out, time was 【小题5】 (basic) viewed as a one­way street.You could only go forward, and only at one speed.In this way, Wells' 【小题6】 (create) account transformed the way people viewed time and time travel.

It was so successful largely because it came out at the end of 19th century when tremendous change was in the air.As the【小题7】 (twenty) century dawned, people were becoming incredibly excited for the future.It was a period of huge technological as well as scientific【小题8】 (grow) and, for the first time ever, people were living in a way that was dramatically different from【小题9】generation before them.

In other words, it was the first time that the past, future and present would be entirely different.This simple historical moment is【小题10】made time travel so fascinating.
