Late that afternoon I took the train back to Sydney.There I found another surprise waiting for me.My room had been given to somebody else and they had no room for me.Harkin had known my travel plans and had arranged everything；how could he have booked the room only for three days? There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel.The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel，and when I said that I was happy to stay at the Airport，thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city，they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport.There was one small matter：the room rate was
$300 per night.The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only $145.I asked if there were anything cheaper they might suggest but they warned that most hotels would already be full by this time.
The hotel was far from the train station，so I'd best take a taxi at $25.On the way to the Holiday Inn，we passed a hotel just two blocks from the Holiday Inn that advertised a room rate of $104.At the desk I asked if their room rate could go down a lot.“No，this is a 4star hotel，” the waiter told me.“In that case，” I replied，“I'll just walk the two blocks to the cheap hotel.” But she warned me that they were probably full and that if I didn't take the room，it might not be available if I came back.Finally，I decided to take the room.
The room itself was big，but the air conditioning couldn't keep up with the Australian heat.I couldn't get to sleep until about 1：00 a．m.

Asia has long tradition of teadrinking.And China is no exception.
However，lately more and more Chinese people are turning to a different drink.Coffee has become an increasingly popular choice of Chinese people living abroad and in the country's huge cities.It is also a popular crop among those living in the mountains of southern Yunnan Province.
In big cities such as Beijing，coffee shops seem to be on nearly every major street corner.These shops are not just selling drinks from Starbucks，the worldfamous coffee company.Coffee businesses from South Korea，Taiwan，Hong Kong and Britain are also operating in China.
Teadrinking is steeped in the culture and traditions of many countries，like China and Japan.But is that changing? Are young people from Asia now choosing a cup of coffee instead of tea?

years.Before that，she lived in Italy for two years.Ms.Su says she likes tea better than coffee.But she adds that may not be true among the young generation in China.Many young Chinese people drink coffee socially—when meeting with friends.Yang Lin lives in the U．S.but comes from an area in China famous for growing tea.She used to only drink tea while in China.But now，she says，she drinks both and for different reasons.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I saw the nursing home(养老院) out of the corner of my eyes as my family and I carried boxes from the moving van(家具搬运车)to our new house.The place my mom had found for us was a nice house，and I was happy that it was in a quiet neighborhood with trees and a nearby park.What I didn't notice when she showed it to my brothers，sister and me was that there was a nursing home for old people right across from it.
I was in my teens then，and since my grandparents had passed away years ago，I really had no daily communication with older people.I was more interested in my own life.Old people weren't in my heart.I thought they weren't very interested in me，either.
I walked to the bus stop down the road to go to school，so every morning I would walk past the nursing home.All the time，four or five people would be sitting on iron chairs.They would always call out and wave to me as I passed by.I didn't really know what to say to them，so I just pretended(假装) I didn't hear them.
One day I came home to find my mom making a chocolate cake in the kitchen“Is that for dessert？”I asked，my mouth watering.
Mom shook her head.“I made it for the people at the nursing home，”she told me.“I found out from some of the nurses that they love eating cakes，so I decided to make one for them.”
“You went over there？” I asked.
My mom nodded.“I go over two or three times a week after work to visit with the local people.Some of those people don't get many visitors.We sit and talk and play cards.”
“You mean you volunteer there？”
She nodded.“They're great people.I enjoy it.”
Paragraph 1：
I was surprised at her words.
Paragraph 2：
Although I didn't want to go，in the end，I agreed to go.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1：
I was surprised at her words. My mom wasn't old.What could she have in common with them? One day she told me she had a cold and couldn't go to the nursing home.She asked if I would go in her place.“You want me to go and talk to those old people？”I was happy my mom liked volunteering，but it wasn't for me.She
said，“You must go，and I don't want them to think I forget about them.”
Paragraph 2：
Although I didn't want to go，in the end，I agreed to go. I thought I'd tell the nurses that my mom was sick and hand over the cake and then leave.But when I stepped inside，I saw an old man staring at a checkerboard which I was also interested in.We talked a lot and I got to know he was a teacher，a job I admired.It changed my view about the place.
