Everyone loves holidays abroad. It gives us the chance to see more sights and have some fun. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, holidays aren't always good {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (experience). Follow these tips and make sure you enjoy your holiday.

①Get organized.

Have you packed your passport? Your tickets? Every year, thousands of people miss flights because they've {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (forget) their passports.

②Do some research.

     How much do you know about the place you will visit? Learning {#blank#}4{#/blank#} little about the culture of a country will help you understand the people. Learning a few words of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (other) language can also help you make new friends.

③Remember the environment

     Travel by train if you can. Flying produces twenty times {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (many) carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) than traveling {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a train. Of course, it might be impossible to avoid {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fly), but when you arrive, use buses or trains instead of taxis.Keep a good memory for your holiday.

     You won't want to forget your holiday. Make a scrapbook—a book of memories—about your holiday. You can show it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your friends, or just use it to remember all the good times, which will surely become {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (value) treasure when you get old.

    Venezia is always crowded with visitors from other countries．And in summer it is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}full．

    My husband and I traveled to Venezia by train．I was so excited that I couldn't

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the night before arriving there．

    The train arrived in Venezia at 8：00 a．m．For one second(秒)I thought I was dreaming, because I couldn't believe that I was really in one of the oldest cities in the world．But it was the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}．

    When we left the train station， {#blank#}4{#/blank#}I found that l was in a different world．I was  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}．Around us，there were no cars or buses．I only found gondolas(威尼斯小划船)in the canals(运河)．I stood outside the train station in {#blank#}6{#/blank#}，looking at the city．

My husband and I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to enjoy a wonderful panorama(全景)of Venezia by gondola after breakfast．Just at that time I{#blank#}8{#/blank#}that there was no other place in the world like Venezia．It was really wonderful!

    A young rich man was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit fast in his new sports car. There were many kids p{#blank#}1{#/blank#}among the cars.

    As his car passed, one child appeared, and s{#blank#}2{#/blank#}a brick hit the car's side door. The young man stopped the car and jumped out. He {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the kid and pushed him up against another car, s{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, “What is wrong with you? That's a new car. What you did just now will c{#blank#}5{#/blank#}me a lot of money. Why did you do it?”

    “Please, sir, please, I'm sorry. I didn't know w{#blank#}6{#/blank#} else to do! It's my brother,” he said.  

    “He fell out of his wheelchair. I can't lift him up.” Almost crying, the boy asked the man, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's h{#blank#}7{#/blank#}and he's too heavy for me.”

    The young man was deeply touched and had tears in his e{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. He lifted the kid's brother back into the wheelchair.

    The man then watched the little boy p{#blank#}9{#/blank#}his brother toward their home.

    It was a long walk back to his car ... a long, slow walk. He never repaired the side door. He kept it that way as a reminder. Don't go t{#blank#}10{#/blank#}life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention. Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick!

    One Christmas Eve, Santa landed his sleigh(雪橇) on a house with his bag of toys and slid down the chimney(烟肉). Once he was inside the house, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} went to work, setting out the toys he had brought to the Reilly twins, Erin and Pat.

    After it was down, Santa {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a plate of cookies and a glass of milk set out with a note that read-for Santa. Santa sat down in a big chair and soon found he had {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the whole plate of cookies and had drunk the whole glass of milk. As he got up to leave, he noticed {#blank#}4{#/blank#} plate of fudge(奶油软糖). Before long, Santa ate every on this plate, too.

    When he finished eating, he started to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} up the chimney with his toy bag. The only problem was, he had eaten too much and now he and his bag did not {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in the chimney. Santa went back to the Christmas tree and placed a few more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} under the tree from his bag and again he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} climbing up the chimney. Again, he did not fit. So he went back to the tree and this time, he placed every gift in his bag {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the tree. At last, Santa with his{#blank#}10{#/blank#} bag was able to climb up the chimney.
