17．Prague
Prague is an ancient European city，featuring one of the most magnificent Old Towns in Europe，along with delicious food，inexpensive shopping and friendly people．Prague is also famous as being home to one of the most famous 20th century writers，Franz Kafka．The famous Czech beer is also one of the reasons to visit Prague．
The narrow streets of the older parts of the town are appealing the visitors to take nice long walk and settle in some of the many restaurants，which offer top-quality foods at a low price．The buildings there are mostly tower-shaped，and so Prague is called"city of a hundred spires．"
Mauritius
Also known as the Paradise on Earth，Mauritius lies about 560miles （900km） east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean．It is a place of magnificent natural beauty coupled with excellent customer service，which makes for an unforgettable romantic experience at the edge of the world's warmest ocean．
There are lots to see and do in Mauritius：the coral reefs （珊瑚礁） surrounding the island offer stunning beauty and great underwater adventures to those who want to dive into the precious waters．The nature of Mauritius mostly resembles that of Paradise，allowing every couple visiting this island to feel like Adam and Eve．That is an experience nobody would want to miss!
Cyprus
The very name Cyprus，it has been said，glitters with an age-old myth．Today，history and hedonism （快乐论） are comfortably mixed on the island．Some five-star resorts within walking distance of well-preserved Greek and Roman ruins offer the convenience the modern traveler has come to expect．
Cyprus features a romantic history，as it was Anthony's gift to his beloved Cleopatra during the glorious days of the Roman Empire．Maybe that is why you feel always a little special once you set foot on Cyprus．

14．Claude Monet was born on November 14，1840，in Paris，but he spent most of his childhood in Le Havre，a city of southern France．By the time he was fifteen Monet had become popular as a caricaturist（漫画家）．Through an exhibition of his drawings at a local frame shop in 1858，Monet met the French landscape painter Eugene Louis Boudin，who introduced Monet to outdoor painting，an activity that soon became his life's work．
By 1859Monet had committed himself to a career as an artist and began to spend as much time in Pairs as possible．During the 1860s he met Edouard Manet．With other ambitious French painters，they formed the impressionist school．
Working outside，Monet painted simple landscapes and he began to have some success．As his style developed，however，Monet broke one traditional artistic convention（常规）after another．His experiments with bright color became more and more daring，and he seemed to cut himself off from the possibility of a successful career as a conventional painter supported by the art establishment．
In 1874Monet and his colleagues decided to organize their own exhibition．They called themselves independents，but the press soon labeled them impressionists because one of Monet's paintings had borne the title Impression：Sunrise．Then the name stuck．
By the mid-1880s，Monet，generally regarded as the leader of the impressionist school，had achieved significant recognition and financial security．In 1890 he was able to purchase some property in the village of Giverny，not far from Paris，and there be began to construct a water garden-a water lily pond with a Japanese bridge．Beginning in 1906，paintings of the pond and the water lilies occupied his mind for the rest of his life．His famous series Water Lilies，painted between 1990and 1926，Clearly shows the artist's strong interest in color and produces a remarkable（不寻常的）visual effect．Despite failing eyesight，Monet continued to paint almost up to the time of his death，on December 5，1926，at Giverny．
