Day 1
Passage 1
This weekend I was delighted to show my parents around Seville, as they 1 (come) for a short but sweet visit. Although the weather wasn’t the best, we still made 2 best of our time together.
Being reunited with the people you love in a new place 3 (bring) excitement. Showing them around the new city makes you 4 (extraordinary) happy. For example, as Seville is known for flamenco (弗拉门科舞), I took them to see a famous 5 (perform) my friends recommended to me, which gave us such a wonderful visual feast. Furthermore, getting to show your visitors the places 6 (appeal) to you is a pleasant feeling, because you are eager to let them know where you love to spend your time. You are letting them get involved 7 your new life. Also you have the opportunity 8 (show) your beloved ones the new places that they may fall in love with.
So, after a two-day trip, I feel pleased to have had the time to explore those 9 (attraction) with my parents. I am already looking forward to their next visit 10 I can show them more of what Seville offers and what I am still yet to discover.
Passage 2
November 21 is United nations’ World Television Day. TV is one of the greatest 1 (invent) of the 20th century. We mostly had to rely on the radio or newspapers to know 2 was going on in the world. But after television arrived, the world seemed a lot 3 (small). It brought information right to our home. People were able to communicate better, address issues faster and become aware 4 things happening around the world by watching the news. We all have at least one TV memory that will last a lifetime. 5 there is undoubtedly a bad side to TV. It could be said to have destroyed communication as much as it enhanced(加强) it. In the days before television, a typical family would have played games or just chatted with each other after their evening meal. But since then, sitting around the TV in silence 6 (become) a regular evening activity
Still, the United Nations 7 (say) that TV continually invites people 8 (explore) beyond their living rooms and that is undoubtedly true. But sometimes, this “exploration” is at the expense of 9 (ignore) the people closest to us Although television is indeed a brilliant tool, let’s not forget about the people sitting next to us on the couch. After all, what good is watching something 10 (interest) if you don’t want to share your opinions on it?
