London is great .It's great .Rome and Paris were fine places ,but I knew as soon as we landed in London ,this was the finest of the three.
There are only two small things which I don't like about London . First of all, everyone speaks English here. I had so much fun in Rome and Paris . There I could speak in foreign languages. In words ,I made a lot of friends that way .But here everybody can understand me. I don't have any reason to start up a conversation with a stranger  .  And speaking of restaurants that is the other problem with London . The food here is no good at all! I haven't had one good meal in the three days we've been here.
Since you asked me to write to you about everything I learned on this trip ,here is what I've learned about London.
London's population of eleven million makes it the second largest city in the world .It is bigger than New York but not as big as Tokyo .London is twice the size of New York .It has an area of 620 square miles!
The Thames River runs right through the center of the city .Someone once called the Thames “liquid history”.It is a very good name. Dozens of armies have crossed it over the past few thousand years .One of the first was the army of Julius Caesar two thousand years ago .And most recentlyMr .and Mrs. Gill.
So far I have only had time to visit one neighborhood .It is called Bloomsbury .In fact there is a group of writers known as the Bloomsbury Group. It got its name because so many of them lived there. Virginia Woolf was one of them .I know how much you like her novels.
Baker Street is also part of Bloomsbury .Do you remember who once lived on Baker Street When I asked Bob this question, he answered,“a man who baked bread ,right ” Sherlock Holmes ,of course ,I won't have time to find his address .Maybe you will when you come.

Dear Jenny，

How was everything going？I，together with my parents plans to take a trip to Canada for a week during the summer vacation. We hope to make the full use of this opportunity to experience the naturally beauty of Canada and learn more about its culture. We don’t want to go to places where are full of tourists and shoppers. Because I am writing to ask help. We hope you can tell them where to visit. Besides, can you give us some advices on how to finding hotels which are not expensive but comfortable? I would be grateful if you could give me an early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

   Peru is an unbelievable destination for tourists. For me, traveling there changed the definition of “vacation”. Women dressed in colorful, woven clothes wandered the street. The food, however, was something I couldn’t get over. It was a huge culture shock for me to dine on alpaca pizza and have guinea pigs as a dish.

We spent the majority of the trip in a unique mountain city called Cusco. The hotel in Cusco was a pretty little place. The bedroom had three twin beds. Another interesting thing our hotel offered was coca tea. The tea leaves are the same leaves used for cocaine.

I thought that New York City had the worst traffic on the Earth until I visited Cusco. There were taxis everywhere, and local drivers ignored red lights. We would be completely stuck in traffic, yet oncoming cars seemed to believe they could magically drive through the middle of our taxi.

During the trip, we joined in several bus tours. One of them included a visit to a marketplace filled with foods and handmade goods. It was an amazing experience because the market was not jam-packed with tourists like every other place. The majority of the shoppers were Peruvian residents. We weaved in and out of streets, gazing at the beautifully handcrafted（手工制作的）rugs and ponchos. I wish I could have bought everything.

Also on the trip was a tour of a genuine village. The villagers there showed us their lifestyle. One of the women showed the boring process of making different products. Their only income was from the goods they sold. Another trick they showed us was using a bug as a lip stain. They would take a bug, press it, and spread the red blood on their lips. I was shocked when they explained that to us. After the tour was over, we were allowed to view their products. I departed with a soft pair of gloves that not only had the four normal finger holes, but also a thumb hole.

【小题1】What did the writer find most terrible in Peru?

A．Eating the local food.

B．Drinking the tea of the hotel.

C．Wearing colorful woven clothes.

D．Making a trip in the mountain.

【小题2】The third paragraph tells that __________.

A．Cusco isn’t worth visiting because of its traffic conditions

B．Cusco’s drivers don’t obey traffic rules

C．taxi drivers can magically drive cars in Cusco

D．there are no traffic jams when you’re taking a taxi in Cusco

【小题3】What surprised the writer in the village?

A．Women made money by making products.

B．The products of villagers could be taken for free.

C．There were only four finger holes in the gloves.

D．People used the bug blood to colour their lips.

【小题4】Where can we most likely read the text?

A．In a travel journal.

B．In a culture magazine.

C．In a travel brochure.

D．In a travel advertisement.

I, together with my father, went to Zhangjiajie this summer vacation, where they paid a visit to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. In 1982, it listed as the first national forest park of China, that covers an area of 48. 1 square kilometers. Zhangjiajie, lie in the northwest of Hunan Province, is one of the most important tourism city. What’s more, it was recognized for China’s excellent tourism city in 2000. We were deep impressed by the natural scenery there. Therefore, we had kept on taking photos. In my opinion, a journey was worthwhile, because we were tired.

To make a wildlife exploration，we went to a forest in Sichuan Province. The forest was said to have been existed for hundreds of years. We started early，full of expect. After travelling for two hours by car，we arrived，only find the exploration hard than expected. What's more，in our arrival，it happened to be raining. Faced with many difficulty，we all kept marching along the path. Soon，we all got us equipped and began our task on foot. Sudden，a stream with many wild flowers bloom on both banks came into view. Seeing the scene，we cheered up，busy picking up plant samples and taking photos. We all thought that if we missed it we will feel awfully sorry.
