It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local(当地的)family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitors language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you wont be disappointed(失望的).”After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “homes”for Hong Kong.（1）In the “homestay”program, a visitor can .

This person is a hero because he or she has done something to help protect animals in danger. Huang Jing decided to write a letter to the President of China.Dear Mr. President,I have been doing a project at school recently about animals in danger. I think the situation all over the world is really terrible. I am writing to you to suggest what China should do to help protect animals more.I know that there are nearly 2,000 nature reserves in China, which is good. I live in Beijing and there are about 30 reserves outside the city. We visited one of them last month to see for ourselves.I feel so sorry for the giant panda. Its one of the most popular animals in the world and a real symbol of China. We learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo, and that a panda can eat half its body weight of bamboo in 24 hours! Thats a lot of bamboo. I think we should try to do more to stop cutting down forests. Pandas are already a rare animal and it would be so sad if they became extinct (灭绝) forever.The other animal we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligator (扬子鳄). These creatures live in some parts of eastern China. These beautiful animals live in freshwater rivers and lakes but the water in some places isnt clean enough for them to live in. Its really dirty in fact. The government should stop factories polluting the lakes and rivers.If we protect these beautiful animals in China, more foreigners may wish to visit China to see them. They could be an important tourist attraction. It would be good if more people came to visit our beautiful country, especially to see the quieter areas in the country. Now most visitors just see the cities.I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject.Sincerely yours,Huang Jing（1）Whats Huang Jings project at school about?（2）What animals did Huang Jing talk about in his letter?（3）How much bamboo can a panda eat in 24 hours?（4）Why is the water in some places too dirty for alligators to live in?（5）If you are a hero of the month like Huang Jing, what else will you possibly do to help protect the animals in danger?四、 根据句意和音标提示以适当形式填写正确的单词。 (共7题；共18分)15. （1分）How n_ it is in the classroom!
