Geneva is situated between the Jura Range and the Alps on the western end of Lake Geneva. Capital of Peace is one of its names― the European headquarters of the United Nations lies here in Palais des Nations. Another worthy name for this city with a humanitarian tradition（人道主義傳統(tǒng)）and international character is the World’s Smallest Metropolis. Parks,splendid stores and lively streets in the old part of town and its 2000 ― year history wait to be discovered.

The Jet d’Eau together with the Flower Watch are the main attractions every year for the tourists visiting Geneva. The Jet d’Eau has become the symbol(象征)of Geneva for a long time. This is a 140 meters high water monument with a rich history. Eight 13,500―watt projectors light the grand column(圓柱)of the fountain in the evening, from early March until the second Sunday of October. The Flower Watch, which was created at the edge of the English Garden in 1955,reminds us about that Geneva is the birthplace of the Swiss clock and watch making, and that this industry has become internationally famous, as well through the quality of the watches as through their beautiful appearance.

Sails on Lake Geneva are also enjoyable. The Lake of Geneva, lying among the Alps, is a true inland sea, making possible a wide range of pleasant boat trips, you can relax and watch the beautiful scenes pass by.

Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.

Last week I visited Plattsburgh State University (PSU). People had told me that it was a good college, but it was even    than I had expected.

Located in the small city of Plattsburgh, PSU is    nice-looking school. Inside, the buildings have signs to point you in the right direction if you don’t know    you are going.

The average class has 24 students. One thing I found interesting was that   you are a good note-taker, the professor will pay you to photocopy (復(fù)印) your notes for the rest of the class.

PSU offers a lot of majors, including art, history, science    nursing. All of these programs are especially designed    students to meet their future work needs. The school also has many academic programs, including an honors program .

PSU has many clubs, ranging  dance clubs to sports clubs. This school has a great reputation and offers a lot to    students. I think that PSU is certainly a college to consider.
