In China, you can travel to all corners of this big country by bus or train. It's surprising what
China has done in the past ten (1) (year) in terms of train travel ﹣ it now has the(2) (big) high﹣speed railway network in (3) world. The high﹣speed trains are great, and a (4) /lɒŋ/ train journey in China is a great way to see the country.
China is a huge, fascinating country with so much to see. (5)A a student, I love traveling (6) my parents, from big cities, to seaside hot spots, to holy mountains, to national parks, to historical sites and to (7) /smɔ:l/ villages far away. (8) (get) out of your comfortable home here to some unknown places is a good experience as well. And you can eat local food, and(9) (real) reach the heart of the country.
I always love traveling outside Yibin to see our (10) (beauty) country ﹣ China.
Once, when the food we ordered at a restaurant arrived, the first thing we wanted to do was to eat right away. (1) Others want to take at least five photos of their food to share on social media, such as Wechat.
(2) "Foodtography" has been around for longer than one would expect. Take US photographer Irving Penn (1917﹣2009)for example. In 1947, Vogue magazine published many food photos taken by Penn. Looking at the carefully put salad ingredients or the cakes on stands(货 架), it would be easy to think Penn's 70﹣year﹣old photos were taken just last week.
Besides Penn's efforts, it seems that social media is behind the recent rise of foodtography.(3) And the star posts just one delicious﹣looking food picture with the place where it was taken. It can bring hundreds of new customers for the restaurant.
So while it's fun to share pictures of delicious dishes with your friends, just remember the most important thing: (4)
A. Don't forget to eat your meal afterwards. B. But now, some people just want to eat their meal. C. Today, a social media star may have thousands of fans. D. In fact, taking pictures before meals is not a recent thing. |
American President Roosevelt's house was once broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt's friends wrote to him and(1) him not to take it to his heart so much. President Roosevelt (2) back at once, saying, "Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I'm all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three(3) : firstly, the thief (小偷) only stole things from me(4) did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things (5) all my things; thirdly, most (6) for me, it was the man(7) me who became a thief."
It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from. However, President Roosevelt was so(8) .
It is(9) for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time as long as he lives on the earth. We should learn how to(10) failure or misfortune bravely and to try to deal with it. Being thankful can bring us a better life.
