My family is p【小题1】 a journey to China in the winter. Our first c【小题2】 is to visit Beijing，one of the   b【小题3】   cities in the world. So we need to b【小题4】 the plane tickets first. To tell you the truth（事实），we like going by train b【小题5】.But we think it.is too slow and it t【小题6】 much time. Though（尽管）going by plane is more e【小题7】，it goes f【小题8】   and saves time. Some people may think it's not s【小题9】，but our family all a【小题10】   it's our favorite way to travel.

Resolutions are 【小题1】 (承诺、诺言) to yourself. We often make them at the 【小题2】 (开始) of the year. Many people write down their resolutions and 【小题3】 (计划、打算) for the coming year. There are different kinds of resolutions. Some of them have to do with 【小题4】(自我改进；自我提高) . Many people might say they are going to take up a 【小题5】(业余爱好) like painting or taking photos.

Sixty-year-old grandmother, Fiona McFee, is going to stop working next year. She decides to realize a c【小题1】 dream and sail（航行）around the coast of Scotland in a small boat. Although the inside of the boat is very comfortable, it has no r【小题2】 water or electricity. Fiona says she can live without these things, but she plans to take her small CD player, her hot water bottle and a bag of books to make sure life isn’t too u【小题3】.

We asked her if she was afraid of being at sea for so long. She said, “Well, I’m going to take a good compass（指南针）. Anyway I’m not afraid of death b【小题4】 I love the sea — I just hope it loves me.” Fiona certainly has plenty of energy. In her s【小题5】 time, she enjoys playing the piano, rock-climbing, canoeing and dancing.

Although she is sixty, she doesn’t want to have a quiet and p【小题6】 life. “I’m looking forward to having fun in the rest of my life and that’s why I’d like to be a sailor for a while.”
