I have just got some good news to tell you. I win a national prize for my painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested I went to England for a holiday this summer. I’d like stay here for half a month, visiting some places of interest and practise my English as well. We have kept in touch each other for nearly a year now. I have often dreamed of talking face to face with you. I hope you’ll be on the holiday at that time, but I’m sure we will have a lot to talk about. I also want to buy some souvenir for my friends at home. If I have any better ideas, please share them with me.
It was the first time that I1.(take) a trip to Shanghai with my family this summer holiday.
The views in Shanghai left a deep impression2.me. The soaring Oriental Pearl Tower, the bustling Nanjing Road, and the antique Chenghuang Temple are all features of a complex and diverse Shanghai. When night shut in, the city became3.charming paradise. I remember standing on the deck of a yacht(快艇) as the fresh wind quietly embraced us.4.(stand) against the rail, I saw sprays of the glittering Huangpu River fly along the side of 5.(we) yacht. The colorful lights on the banks were twinkling while the moonlight was dripping through the clouds. Shadows of the modern buildings were reflected on the water.6.(passenger) on the deck were deeply absorbed in the beauty of the night.
Not only the views,7.also the residents, touched me. I once found my cell phone8. (miss) during my stay in the city. After searching through every corner of my room and my pockets, I almost gave up hope. Unexpectedly, an hour9.(late) my mother picked up a phone call from a policeman who10.(say) a taxi driver had returned the phone. The policeman then returned my phone very soon.
The trip to Shanghai is one of the best in my memory.

I could clearly see the larger manatee _______the little one up with her flipper(鳍状肢) and pushed it to the ________beside me.
As the two slipped underwater, two other manatees moved up from behind, one on either side, ________gently against my body as they swam past. They circled and________ the action, this time ________by the mother and her baby. I held my hand out touching their back as they passed me. Since they obviously enjoyed touching me, I began ________each of them as they swam by.
I stood there enjoying the scene, ________to move, until finally the rising tide forced me back to the shore. Later I knew exactly what took place that morning. The manatees ________me in their celebration of a birth and I was welcome to meet the ________member of their family.
