Every year thousands of people come to the UK. And London, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} capital city, is usually their first stop. What can they see? {#blank#}2{#/blank#} can they do?

    Getting around in London is not difficult. There {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) the underground train, the oldest in the world, or the traditional double-decker bus. A boat trip along the River Thames {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(take) you to the Tower of London. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(go) around the city centre on foot is easy. The maps in the streets will show you what is around you in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} five-minute walk. You can {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(get) a great view of the city from 135 metres up on a huge ferris wheel, the London Eye. Look across the river{#blank#}8{#/blank#} you will see the Houses of Parliament(议会大厦) and the famous clock tower, Big Ben.

    There are many {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(museum) in London. In the Natural History Museum, the key word is "Big". Next to it is the Science Museum. It {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (have) those great British inventions(发明), the history of flight and exploration(探索) of space.

    At sixty, my husband retired (退休) from a high-stress and challenging job.

    We {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) happily married for thirty-five years. But I have to say that my husband's transition (过渡) to retirement was one of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (big) challenges in our life. For the first time, he felt lost. How would he find purpose and make {#blank#}3{#/blank#} living that could allow for a healthier lifestyle?

    During the last Christmas, I bought him one yoga card. I found the magic of yoga a few years earlier and wanted to share {#blank#}4{#/blank#} him. He was thankful, but the gift card was still {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(hide) in his wallet. One evening over dinner, after completing all the housework, he said something surprising, "I think I may use that yoga card and take a yoga class for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(begin)."

    Then, I realized yoga was really {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (help) to him. The transition taught him how {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) a great change in life. He would soon learn that yoga is not about competing, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} showing up without judgment (评价). I hoped the lessons would make him feel relaxed.

    Well, things have changed since then. My husband has always been a gentle man, but ever since he decided to take a yoga class, he has become much gentler. And all our grown children now throw a yoga mat (垫) in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) back seat. If Dad and Mom do it, it must be worth a try.
