I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night， when fear seized me． My wallet was gone． I could only have left it on the G9 bus， which was now speeding in the dark to some  (1)  station．

The  (2)  moment was quickly followed by mental math． How much time and money would it cost to replace the  (3)  of that little wallet？ The credit cards， the driverˈs license， the cash， all lost to the bus．

Two hours later， back at my house，I heard a knock on the door． My husband  (4)  it while I was on the phone in the dining room． "Does Jennifer live here？" I heard a lady say． In my husbandˈs hand was my wallet， with not a penny  (5)  ． She left before I could   (6)   make it to the door to offer my thanks．

After sharing the story online， I heard from someone，who  (7)  the lady as Erin Smith． Without  (8)  ，I called to thank her． She said she   (9)  my wallet on a bus seat． She  (10)  that going to a strangerˈs house was a  (11)   move， but she decided to take the chance． "If I were in that  (12)  ． I would want someone to try to find me，"she said．

This one stranger responded beautifully to my small   (13)  ， but she actually wasnˈt the only one． Right after Erin   (14)  my wallet on the bus， she posted a picture of my driverˈs license to an online forum （论坛），trying to see  (15)  anyone knew me． No sooner did she leave my doorstep than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my sonˈs nursery and who recognized my face． Iˈve never  (16)  words with those moms beyond small talk， but they wanted to help． I read that people are more divided than ever， but thatˈs not how the people I  (17)  tend to act．

  (18)  ， I feel blessed someone had wanted to help a stranger． Erin had gone  (19)  what almost anyone would have done， finding my house on a bitterly cold night and for that I was extremely  (20)  ．

I took an international flight for New Zealand the past autumn.   (1)   I stepped out of the airport, I was impressed by the natural environment and attracted by the blue sky and unique plants in this _  (2)   country, where my unusual   (3)  _ began.

   I had applied a special visa, so I could enjoy great   (4)   when staying there. This freedom doesn't mean I could do anything I wanted, _  (5)   I could enjoy everything I did. It is easy to   (6)   life and work in New Zealand because every day is different.

   I picked fresh fruit in the thick forest,   (7)   wild fruit when the night came, _  (8)   sheep and chickens, planted flowers, painted a cottage and worked in a store   (9)   with balloons in the hall. I even climbed mountains,   (10)   waterfalls and played on the beach.

   I saw a lot of the North Island and would soon visit the South Island, which is said to be _  (11)  __ remote and beautiful. ___  (12)  __ is another thing worth mentioning. In a youth hostel, I met people from all over the world who could cook all sorts of food. ___  (13)  __ curiosity, I learned a lot of recipes and __  (14)  ___ different types of food, which most of the time was very delicious. In my __  (15)  _, nowhere else in the world can you enjoy __  (16)  _ food than here.

   From my __  (17)  _ in New Zealand I can conclude that the country is filled with _  (18)  _ food just waiting to be explored. As a saying __  (19)  _, "Spend any time in New Zealand, and you will get the feeling that God has only just finished his work." My mind goes that _  (20)  _ there were a Garden of Eden, it would certainly be in New Zealand.

     Eco-tourism involves people traveling to beautiful but environmental sensitive places. Such trips are  41  carried out with an experienced guide. Over recent years, this type of travel has been steadily gaining  42 as more people search for new travel experiences.

        Eco-tourism has many benefits. First, all the  43  spent by the tourists is used to 44 the important environmental spots they visit.  Second, it helps  45 to better understand the environment, thereby  46   their knowledge of the world. Furthermore, this style of travel is also more  47  of the local culture.

            Compared to   48   tourists, eco-tourists use energy more efficiently, save water and produce less rubbish by finding ways t 49   it. These behaviors have a   50   and lasting effect on the local environment.

      Two things are needed to make eco-tourism a/an  51  . First, it should be done in small groups. And second, because it requires considerable effort, both eco-tourists and locals must be 52  in their commitment to improving the environment.

       Green travel provides local people with jobs in parks,  53   and shops. One great achievement of eco-tourism has been the 54  of illegal hunting. Former hunters can now work as guides to help keep the animals 55  in their natural surroundings. Green travel also   56  local people’s quality of life, especially children’s.

         Peru is one country using eco-tourism to promote respect for the   57    . It’s now able to take better care of its rainforests because of a/an   58   on more sustainable(可持续的)travel.

         59  this, local people’s living-standards have improved. Many others are now following Peru’s   60   and using eco-tourism to preserve their environment for the future generations.

The most unforgettable thing during my long summer holiday last year, of course was my trip   (1)   England. This was my first time to go abroad, so it really made me   (2)  .

There are quite a lot of interesting places in England,   (3)   Oxford. When we walked around Oxford, we saw quite a lot of ancient buildings on   (4)   sides of the streets. One of the most famous tourist   (5)   in Oxford is Christ(基督) Church, and it’s   (6)   one of Oxford University’s 29 colleges. There is a huge hall in Christ Church,   (7)   was used as the dining hall at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter   (8)  .

I felt really excited when I heard this.

  (9)   place that impressed me   (10)   during my trip was a place called Stratford-upon-Avon. It is a small town. Maybe you haven’t   (11)   it, but I’m sure

you have heard about William Shakespeare and it’s the great man’s   (12)  . In Stratford-upon-Avon, I could   (13)   Shakespeare’s birthplace, Shakespeare Countryside Museum, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and a lot of places that are connected with   (14)  . 

I went to Shakespeare’s birthplace. It was the house   (15)   Shakespeare was born and   (16)   his early years.  (17)   sitting room, hallway(走廊), bedrooms, and kitchen were furnished(布置) in sixteenth-century   (18)  . I also went to see the Shakespeare Exhibition. It illustrated(以图解说明) Shakespeare’s life and career in both Stratford and London.

I really enjoyed this nice trip to England,   (19)   I learnt a lot. I’m very happy that I could visit such an interesting   (20)  . I want to go there again in the future.

I visited Egypt for the first time in April this year.   41  I spent only 3 days in Sinai, it left me a   42  impression. Away from famous tourist spots ofCairoandLuxoron the mainland, Mount Sinai proved that Egypt’s attractions are not only   43  to pyramids. Sinai is known for its desert landscape, where rocks and sand  44  the scenery and little life seems to    45 inits deadly dry environment.

   With excitement, I   46  my climb on my own at midnight, hoping to catch sight of the  47  over the desert. Bathed in the glow of a full moon, there was a peaceful hush(安静) that surrounded the mountain. Only the sound of the wind   48  me during the four-hour climb, but I  49  felt horrible. The landscape was rocky, but the path was  50  enough and well-trodden (常到的) by tourists over the years.

   Halfway up the mountain, I    51  agroup of 30 Muslims who were making their way to the top as part of their pilgrimage(朝圣). We    52 inEnglish and I found out that most of them were in their thirties or forties, and expressed a strong determination to do the climb for their  53 .

   Before sunrise, I reached the summit, but it was far too  54  for me to stay outside waiting,  55  I was wearing 3 thick clothes. By the time I made the   56  hike up to the peak, I realized to my   57  that it was filled with 100 other people. I managed to find a good   58   among the rocky ground as the sky 59 . Then a hush came over the mountains and everyone stopped   60 . The sun burst out from the horizon.

 During a recent holiday I visited Dusseldorf, a city in the former West Germany. The nine-day trip left a deep impression  (1)     me. I arrived at Dussedorf airport at 7 pm. It was already    (2)   outside. The first thing I needed to do was to find a place to   (3)   . I decided to telephone the youth hotel. But to use the phone I needed some   (4)      , I asked a lady for help. To my    (5)    she gave me three coins to use. But all the phones in the     (6)     needed phone cards. And phone cards could only be bought at post offices during the   (7)    . I was    (8)      I would not be able to call the hotel. An old gentleman helped me. He couldn’t speak English    (9)     understand that I needed to   (10)    a phone call. He showed me where the phone was and inserted    (11)     phone card．I called the youth hotel and found a place to stay that night.

The      (12)      of the German people made me feel that I was not     (13)     my hometown.My first day in Germany wasn’t as    (14)     as I expected．Whenever I went, I asked people for     (15)   . It surprised me that    (16)      every young German could speak English fluently. Older Germans couldnˈt speak English very well, but they would try to help me   (17)   they could．One middle-aged man I asked for directions even   (18)     me to the place I was looking for.

My    (19)     in Germany totally changed my impression of Germans. Now I think the people couldnˈt be more   (20)     .

I took a wonderful trip with my family when I was 10 years old. I   (1)   it well. My aunt, uncle and cousins lived on a small farm in the   (2)  outside Rome and they invited us to   (3)  them. These cousins were the   (4)   cousins who live in Miami now. Our   (5)  to visit them a long time ago was very different from our   (6)   trip to Miami. It was a Saturday   (7)  when we left home. We got up early that morning before the sun rose. We did not feel sleepy, instead, we were   (8)  and ate breakfast quickly. We left home at 5:30 in order to get an early start. It took us three hours to get   (9)  in my father's old car. When we   (10)  up to the house, everyone ran out to meet us. We   (11)  for two days and had a wonderful   (12)  ， We played outside all day and helped Uncle   (13)  the chickens. He taught us   (14)   to make wine. At night, we listened to the grown-ups   (15)   stories about their childhood. When it was time to    (16)  , we were very sad. My mother was especially sad to leave her   (17)  ，They begged us to stay   (18)  , but we had to leave. My father had to go to work   (19)   ， As I look back, that trip was a long, long time ago. My aunt and uncle are both   (20)   ; my cousins are living in Miami. The world is different now.
