    Nobody wants to be aged, but {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it comes to visiting cities, most of us want to visit the world's oldest cities. Luoyang is one of the oldest and most {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(attract) cities in the world that I'd like to recommend to you.

    Luoyang stands out {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the oldest continually inhabited city in Asia. The city is considered to be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} birthplace of Chinese culture and history as well as being one of the Seven Ancient Capitals of China. There {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) no other city in China that has seen so many {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(dynasty) like Luoyang.

    With such a long and exciting history, Luoyang has really a lot {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(offer). The Longmen Grottoes, which {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(include) in the world Heritage List since 2000, and many historic Buddhist temples {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(constant) attract tourists from all over the world. Luoyang is also famous for the White Horse Temple, the earliest Buddhist temple {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(establish) in China. Are you anxious to visit the city?

    The Chinese Culture Center in Paris, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(locate) in downtown areas opposite the celebrated historic sites of Grand Palais and Petit Palais across the Seine River, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(sit) next to a large number of grand handsome and elegant classical architectures that have witnessed the evolution of Paris at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (vary) historical stages. It conforms to(符合) the status of China, a great power with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} lasting civilization of several thousand years in the East, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (set) the Chinese Cultural Center in this exact place.

    The amazing progress in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (smooth) selecting the site for the Chinese Culture Center and putting it into {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (operate) in downtown Paris in such a short period was due to high priority of the Chinese government and constructive cooperation of the French party. Wu Jianmin, Chinese ambassador to France,  said {#blank#}8{#/blank#}excitement, "We have our own cultural center in Paris at last, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}we have eventually realized the long cherished wish of my predecessor(前任) in the Chinese embassy." Hou Xianghua, the first director of the Chinese Cultural Center in Paris, said the center will stick to its "non-governmental" nature and greet people from all {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (walk) of life, in addition to serving the mainstream society.
