Dear Ace Travel,

My family and I want to take a trip this summer somewhere in eastern China. I hope you can provide me with some? about the kinds of vocations that your firm can offer. We would like to travel to an?? place and we don’t mind how far we have to go. It has to be a place where we can do lots of ? activities; we especially love hiking and swimming, but any kind of outdoor activity is fine. We also need to stay in an ? hotel or apartment. It would be nice if we could get a room with a kitchen so we could save money by cooking our own meals. The room needs to be? for three people. Also, we’d like to stay at a place with a big pool or somewhere near the ocean. Could you please give me some suggestions for vacation spots?

Thank you very much!

 Being on the road at 3:15 am to drive 450 kilometers wasn't in my plans for the weekend. I had been looking forward to a few      days to prepare myself for the following busy      .

    My son, Simon, and his good friends were heading for the snowfield. I      my car to make sure that everyone could get to the drop-off point so that they could get together and enjoy their week's      by snowboarding and skiing.

    The only thing that l was thinking of on my journey was that as soon as I      and said goodbye,1 would make the trip       ,in total, a round trip of 900 kilometers in just 10 hours. Such a long drive in one day was frightening, particularly as I was looking forward to relaxation.

    Simon and I talked, on our way, a little about his break and a whole lot of his school subjects. It was great to have this time with him as we       spent five continuous hours together.

    On my return trip, I      a strange sense of loneliness in some heavy morning fog. Within an hour it cleared. I spent the next four hours listening to some CDs and enjoying the scenery. Surprisingly, after my long trip home l was      refreshed（恢复精神）and energized even though 1 was physically tired. And I knew that l would have a good sleep that evening.

    A change in your environment, no matter how great, can provide you with the chance to look at something from different ways, as well as to be refreshed and energized. Now I'm looking forward to my next        event and many more chances to spend quality time with those who are important to me and make my life more rewarding.

People usually talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Scientists think that there are also two kinds of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of lights people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red.
The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. Red may be exciting, but one scientist says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He says that a warm color, such as red or orange, is good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are resting or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
