After completing my first year of studies， I decided to relax by taking a trip throughone of the most richly cultured countries in Asia： Nepal.

The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people who are kind and friendly， readyto help someone in need. I'm saying so because of what I've witnessed between the citizensthemselves， rather than how they treated me as a visitor. It is shown in the way bus conduc?tors and passengers alike keep the bus waiting for the last passenger who is lagging behind（落后）. It is evident in how a motorist smiles and waves off a kid who runs onto the streetafter his ball. The people are like a hot bowl of soup on a rainy day.

The first place I visited in Nepal was the Sauraha Village in the district of Chitwan. Itis an amazingly peaceful place， where the people live life at their own pace. It is a greatarea to see some of the wildlife， such as rhinos and elephants. The capital city of Kath?mandu was where I spent most of my time. The city is usually very dusty， so make sure towear a mask. Another great area in Kathmandu is the district of Thamel. Unlike most otherdistricts， Thamel is very busy throughout the day. Out of all the places I've been to withinNepal， Pokhara is undoubtedly the best place to visit. There are a lot of fun things to tryout. I've gone paragliding as well as boating in Fewa Lake， but you can also go rafting， zipflying and paramotoring.

Nepal is a very affordable destination to travel to. I traveled through the country forabout two months， and spent a little over 500 US dollars. Accommodation around Nepal isinexpensive， mostly varying from about 500 to 1500 rupees per night per person. During mystay in Kathmandu， I stayed at a great hotel for two weeks， for 300 rupees per night， whichis a great deal.

In a word， Nepal is a fantastic place. Whether you are looking to relax in the wildnessand peace of nature， or for an exciting new adventure， Nepal has a variety of choices tooffer.

8. Why does the author mention bus conductors in paragraph 2？

A. To thank them for all their hard work.

B. To introduce Nepal's public transportation.

C. To explain Nepalese people's sense of time.

D. To show the friendliness of Nepalese people.

9. What do we know about the Sauraha Village？

A. It is busy.

B. It is dusty.

C. It offers visitors a lot of activities.

D. It is a great place to see wild animals.

10. What is the main idea of paragraph 4？

A. How much it costs to travel in Nepal.

B. The places the author visited in Nepal.

C. What the author experienced in Kathmandu.

D. The working people the author met in Kathmandu.

11. How does the author develop the text？

A. By following time order.

B. By showing district differences.

Starting in Darwin， our small group stepped onboard a comfortable vehicle designedfor the terrain （ 地形） in the region. We enjoyed a warm welcome onboard from our experienced Journey Director， Gordon， whose knowledge about the Northern Territory madethe trip truly special. One of the things I enjoyed most was listening to Gordon sharingstories about our location and where we were traveling next. His in?depth information andstories about traveling in the Top End made us all feel like the locals！

One of the first highlights on the trip is Litchfield National Park with a stop at WangiFalls for a chance to jump in and take a swim in the clear pool beneath the falls. Thisrefreshing （使人精力充沛的） pool set the tone for the many Northern Territory highlightswe would experience over the next few days. Everyone felt like a new person coming out ofthe pool.

The following day he took us to Kakadu National Park. Seeing the beauty of Kakadufrom both the ground and sky reflects the hugeness of this wilderness area. From the sky，you can see crocodiles （鳄鱼） in the rivers. From the ground， you can see remarkableplants and animals up close; the entire park is enveloped by natural beauty. This experi?ence comes close to the amazing wildlife and habitats youd find in Africa.

Then we traveled to Nourlangie， or Burrungkuy in the local indigenous （ 土著的）language， arriving armed with insider knowledge about what we were going to see. ThisUNESCO World Heritage?listed rock art site is known for its indigenous rock art， offering afascinating record of thousands of years of indigenous life. Once we arrived， we took a shortwalk to the rock art sites with paintings dating back over 20，000 years. The stories behindthese sites reflect how the indigenous people have survived and carried on their traditionsfor thousands of years.

On our last day， we stopped at Edith Falls， where some of the group who were trainingfor mountain climbs hiked up to another swimming spot at the top of the falls. On arrival inDarwin， we said a tearful goodbye to our Journey Director Gordon who helped to create aonce?in?a?lifetime experience.

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。

I was in Zimbabwe on a hike with 2 adults and 12 teenagers. On a three?day triparound waterfalls， we were just using a map and not following a marked path. This isprobably why we had this extremely unusual experience.

We came to a dam with a 20 to 30?meter?long sandy beach， which looked veryunnatural and totally took our breath away. At the place where the beach stopped， therewere large round rocks， and it was a very attractive sight. We all agreed that the area wouldmake a good campsite， so we set up for the night and then set out to do some exploring of the area nearby.

One hour later， some members of our team found a cave. The mouth was small and wehad to slowly move forward on our hands and knees to get inside. After we managed to getthrough， the cave opened up to be about 3 meters high and 10 meters long. It was amazing.There was a crack in the ceiling allowing a line of light to come through. Naturally， thewhole team was excited about the find and decided to sleep inside the cave. We moved ourcampsite inside the cave and fell into an easy sleep that night.

At one oclock in the morning， I was shaken awake by the leader of the hike. He wastelling everyone to get out of the cave because it already had a resident—a leopard， waitingsecretly and anxiously just outside （leopards often choose caves to reside in）. I did notbother to talk to him as this guy was always making childish tricks and jokes， so I rolledover and pretended to sleep. The next thing I knew， my sleeping bag was pulled off and Iwas being“ ordered” to get out now or I would be responsible for myself.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1：

I then realized he was not kidding._____________________

Paragraph 2：

Lucky for us， the leopard eventually walked away.____________________________
