What's the real meaning of the word " peace ” ？ The f (1) story may tell us something about it.

  One picture was a calm lake. The lake was a perfect thing for peace because of the high mountains around it. And overhead was a blue sky with white clouds. A (4) who saw this picture would think that it was a perfect picture of peace.

  The other picture had mountains too. But they were rugged(高低不平的).Above was the dark sky,from which heavy rain fell. A waterfall was rushing down the side of the mountain. This picture did not look p   (5) at all. But when the king looked c   (6) he found behind the waterfall a very small bush g   (7) and a mother bird sitting on her nest(鳥窩)一in perfect peace.

  New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world.

  You might want to do some shopping in New York. The Fifth Avenue is probably New York'smost famous shopping street. But if you go,be prepared to " window shop" only. This is shopping for the rich. There are other less expensive shopping areas nearby,and you'll soon find famous stores such as Bloomingdale's,Macy's and FAO Schwartz. And if you've brought your rollerblades(直排輪鞋).then a visit to Central Park is a must. This is a large,open park right in the middle of Manhattan. But if you thought that people came here to relax,then you'd be wrong. Nobody sits in Central Park: they run,jog(慢跑).and most of all they rollerblade.

  When you leave New York ， you might be tired ， but the one thing you won't be is bored ！

1. Is New York one of the most exciting cities in the world?

2. Where is for the rich to go shopping?

3. Is Macy's a shopping area or an amusement park?

4. Central Park is on the right of Manhattan,isn't it?

5. What do people often do in Central Park?
