Many people travel during the holiday season but do not make sure that their houses and homes  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (protect).Crime goes up {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (rapid) during the winter and summer holiday seasons.Here are some things that you should keep in mind when you go {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a holiday.

     Always give {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(strange)the feeling that you are at home. Have the snow {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (clean) off your stairs or out ofyour driveway during the winter season. You might ask someone to park {#blank#}6{#/blank#} carsin your driveway.

       Tell your newspaper deliverer that you are not at home. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (have)a pile of newspapers and other mail on your doorsteps tells people that you arenot at home, so you could also have a neighbor {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a relative get yourmail every day.

       Fix a timer in some of your rooms {#blank#}9{#/blank#} turns lights on andoff during different times of the day. Some TVs also come with a timer that youcould set to be turned on during certain times. Have motion (运动) sensitive lights outside your house that keep thieves away {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you are not at home.

    Colorful lanterns are lighting up China's night sky, as activities begin across the country to celebrate Lantern Festival today.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (date) back to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), the Lantern Festival is held on the 15th day of the first lunar month {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(mark) the first full moon of the lunar new year.

    You Guoqing, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} folk custom expert in Tianjin, said the Lantern Festival was about going out for a colorful celebration rather than a family get-together. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}watching lanterns, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is also a day to appreciate the full moon, solve lantern riddles, watch art {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(performance) and eat tang yuan.

    The festival was once also a time for romantic encounters. In feudal times, young women were not allowed to go out {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(free), but Lantern Festival was an exception, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} young men and women could meet up.

    Some aspects of the festival, such as its romantic atmosphere, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fade), but people {#blank#}10{#/blank#} see the Lantern Festival as a day to rejoice and a chance to wish for happiness.

    China is famous for its bewildering and oftentimes confusing highway interchanges (立体交叉道), but the Qianchun interchange in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} mountainous province of Guizhou is the only one {#blank#}2{#/blank#} actually looks like a giant rollercoaster for cars and trucks.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (Construct)on the Qianchun Interchange began in 2009, but the massive road knot was only completed last year. It {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  (consist)of 18 different ramps, in 8 directions, on five different layers, with the highest one {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (stand)37 meters above ground. Like the nearby Huangjuewan Overpass, in Chongqing, this incredibly complex infrastructure project has been labelled a nightmare for {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (motorist) trying to find their way around.

    People on social media pointed {#blank#}7{#/blank#} that GPS systems would be confused by the five different layers of road, but officials claims that the directions and exits on the interchange are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (clear)marked and that even if you make mistakes, it's always easy to turn around. Still, just looking at this thing leaves me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (confuse).I can't imagine {#blank#}10{#/blank#} having to find my way around it must be like.
