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.

For most of us, Hawaii begins to weave her spell with some little glimmer of 【小题1】 (aware).There are golden beaches, golden people , sea and surf.

The weather is 【小题5】 (friend).The temperature 【小题6】(range)from 60 to 90 degrees all year long. It’s a little warmer in summer, and a little 【小题7】(cool)in winter, but every day is a beach day for somebody. There are no 【小题8】(stranger) in Paradise. Perhaps the most beautiful part of Hawaii is the genuine warmth of people, 【小题9】 is called the spirit of Aloha. It has allowed a melting pot of cultures from all over the world 【小题10】(find)common ground, and a new home, in this most gentle of places.

This year’s winter has proven 【小题1】 important season for Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang province, as interest 【小题2】 the icy destination greatly increased after social media posts showed many citizens from the warmer south flooding into the snowy city. It 【小题3】 (welcome) nearly 3.05 million visitors, taking in $832.39 million of tourism revenue (收入), during the three-day New Year holiday.

International Ice and Snow Sculpture (雕塑) Festival is considered to be the 【小题4】 (large) ice festival in the world. The festival includes several thousand ice sculptures. Some of these 【小题5】 (work) are the recreations of castles, historic landmarks and famous people, lit up at night in bright colors.
