Welcome to Sunshine Town. It’s a small 【小题1】 old town. Let me take you around.

There is a big park on Bond Street. People like to take a walk there because 【小题2】 love the clean air and warm sunshine. You can see a small playground(操场) behind the park. It’s children’s 【小题3】 place — they always play there when they’re free. If(如果) you love food, you can go to the 【小题4】 on Mill Street. Oh, there is a nice café(咖啡厅) in 【小题5】 of it. Next to the café is a flower(花) shop. It 【小题6】 all kinds of beautiful flowers to people. There is a sports center 【小题7】 the supermarket and the post office. Many young people like to 【小题8】 time exercising there on weekends. If you enjoy 【小题9】, you can go to the library on Victoria Street. It’s near the hospital.

Have a good 【小题10】 in Sunshine Town!

I love traveling, nature and animals. I have been to many theme museums, such as the National Science Museum, the International Museum of Toilets and Hangzhou National Tea Museum in Zhejiang Province. In the National Science Museum, I learned about many 【小题1】 (invention) and knew who invented them. It’s unbelievable that technology has made such rapid progress. It 【小题2】 (encourage) me to study harder. In the Hangzhou National Tea Museum, I watched 【小题3】 unusual tea art performance and learned how to make perfect tea with beautiful tea sets. I have learned many 【小题4】 (社会的) customs from the performance.

This spring, I visited an amusement park with a couple of friends in Singapore. We saw 【小题5】 (thousand) of foreigners, such as Germans, Indians and Japanese. We 【小题6】 (take) some photos with my cameras.

Singapore itself is a 【小题7】 (peace) and safe place to have fun. It’s s【小题8】 close to the equator. This is a good location for traveling. You can go there whenever you like. The temperature there is almost the same all year round. On the one hand, don’t fear whether you can speak English or not; you can 【小题9】 (simple) speak Chinese there. On the o【小题10】 hand, it’s also a good place to practice your English.

Huge squares, great buildings and countless treasure — this year, the world’s largest   wooden palace, the Forbidden City, is 600 years old! It lived t【小题1】 fires and wars. But it still stands at the heart of Beijing today. And it never f【小题2】 to catch its visitors’ eyes.

Have you ever wondered who made this marvel(奇迹)?

In 1406, when the third Ming Emperor Yongle d【小题3】 to move the country’s capital from Nanjing to Beijing, he started to build a palace at the heart of Beijing. His vision(愿景) was big. It took a million workers 14 years to finish it.

People sent materials from all over China to Beijing. Nanmu, the rarest of all Chinese woods, was used to make huge wooden pillars(柱子). People can only find it deep in those warm forests over 1,800 km away from Beijing. Workers had to float(漂浮) the wood on rivers all the way n【小题4】 to Beijing.

Stones were also transported to the palace. The h【小题5】 stone in the Forbidden City is 250 tons. It was found 80 km west of Beijing. Because of its w【小题6】, people could only move it during winter. They poured water onto the road to create ice. Then t【小题7】of workers in front kept pulling the stone on the ice to the palace.

The project even changed the local landscape(地貌). While building a river around the palace, workers dug up soil and piled it on a hill behind the Forbidden City. That’s e【小题8】 where Jingshan came from.

The palace also holds many stories about ancient Chinese c【小题9】 that still stays with us today. For example, there are mythical(神话的) animals s【小题10】 on the palace’s roofs. The number of animals shows the status of a building — the more animals there are, the greater the building is.
