24、Thousands of years ago, in the south of ancient China, there lived Shennong, a man who had an ox (牛) head and human body. Seeing that local people were suffering from disease, he built ladders (梯子) and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants. To remember him, people named the place Shennongjia.

The legend (传说) makes Shennongjia in Hubei an exciting place for tourists. Traveling there is a unique experience, as you can see sceneries of the four seasons from different altitudes (海拔). “When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice,” local people say of the special climate (气候) of Shennongjia.

Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 species (物种) of animals and plants. Many animals in danger live there, such as the golden monkey, the clouded leopard and the Asian black bear.

One interesting and mysterious (奇妙的) thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men. Some people once claimed (声称) that they saw big prints or big-foot creatures (生物). Yet so far, scientists haven’t proved it is true and some say they are just bears.

The beautiful place has recently received a new title. On July 17, 2016, Shennongjia Forestry District was added to United Nations World Heritage list as a natural site. China now has 50 world heritage sites (遗址), second only to Italy in the world.

27、My best friend and I made our first trip to Ireland less than a year ago. I wasn’t very excited about it at the very beginning. But my uncle wanted me to visit Ireland and offered to pay for my trip. Then I did. All of the words “magical, charming and memorable” don’t even describe what Ireland is. Our favourites were Kilkenny, Cobh and Killarney. We did a self-driver tour.

We stayed in a castle in Dublin for two days, where my ancestors(祖先) came from. The town we thought we might be bored in was Kilkenny, but we loved every minute we were there. There were so many places to explore and the pictures we took were beautiful.

It was so exciting to see the little village of Cobh and know it was the last stop for the Titanic(a famous ship) at that time. We loved the visitor centre there and the little shops. We never got any bad food there. It was so mouth-watering at every stop! And when we stayed in Westmeath, we saw the Trim Castle through the windows and found some scenes from Brave Heart which was filmed there. We were so excited. Again, more beautiful pictures were taken in that tiny town.

We love the country, the people, the food and the magic. We would go back very soon. I was so thankful for my uncle who had given me the chance to be there.

I have no words to adequately describe our trip. Go, explore the small villages, eat and enjoy! I still look at my pictures and can’t believe I was actually there.

29、People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries. And in the _________ 300 years, there were so many changes in both places that now people can hardly tell an English person _________ an American in the way he or she talks.

Many old words _________ in England but were kept in America. For example, 300 years ago, people in Great Britain got their water from something they called either a “faucet”, a “spigot,” or a “tap”. All these words are _________ heard in different parts of America, but only “tap” is common in England. Americans often make up new words or change old _________. “Corn” is one kind of plant in America and _________ in England.
