Any trip to Sydney is an adventure and with some of the worlds most beautiful beaches, this city has so much to offer. Sydney is so large an area that choosing a hotel is something you need to do very carefully. Public transport is good, but it can be slow and being close to where you want to be is probably the most important factor.The first and most obvious choice is hotels around Circular Quay. Circular Quay is the heart of the city and one of the major interchanges where trains, buses and ferries meet. Its also where Sydneys two most famous landmarks are located Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge. This area is active and offers truly some of the best views you will ever get from a hotel room.Hotels further in the city are much more suited to business travelers and they are usually less expensive. Darling Harbor is a great choice as it mixes a great view with being right in the centre of the city. Darling Harbor has hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants along the waters edge.If you dont feel like dealing with the hustle and bustle of the city and are looking for something a bit quieter, why not head out to the Northern Beaches. Its only a short ferry ride over to Manly where you can find two major hotels on the beach front with a number of smaller boutiques (精品店).66.What made Sydney famous as a lively and modern city in the world?A.

Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.In both China and the West, at this time of the year, we must endure the cold, the wind and the snow of wintertime. How good it is then that we have festivals to keep our spirits up and hearts warm! Spring Festival in China and Christmas in foreign countries are times for families and friends to get together, exchange gifts and have a big dinner. Although the two holidays are different one is to celebrate Jesus Christs birth, while the other is celebrated because of thousands of years of Chinese folk traditions Christmas and Spring Festival still have things in common. In both, eating is a big part of the holiday celebration. In China we eat dumpling and niangao cakes made of sticky rice while Westerners sit down to a roast turkey or ham, with vegetables, apple-sauce and a plum (干果) pudding. Gifts are another key element in both celebrations. In the West, families gather round the Christmas tree on Christmas morning and open their presents. G
