19．Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up，my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house．Walking together，my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences．He always told me，"You should have goals like climbing the mountain．"Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed，we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy．I really got a lot from mountain-climbing．It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience （耐力）．
Once we climbed a very high mountain．It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old．During the first few hours of climbing，I enjoyed the flowers and trees，and the birds'singing，but as time passed，I got a pain in both of my legs．I wanted toquitclimbing．In fact，I hated it at that moment，but my father said to me，"You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain，but you can't see it before you reach the top．Only there at the top，can you see all of the nice things，just like in life．"
At that time，I was too young to understand his words．But later after that，I got new hope and confidence．I found myself standing at the top of the sky，which was as clear as crystal （水晶）．

18．As we know，there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture．We can see differences when we pay attention to the way some words are used．Let's look at the words about animals and ants．
Although dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans，most expressions in Chinese about the dog，for example，"a homeless dog"，"a running dog"and"a dog catching a mouse"．have negative meanings．But in Western countries，people use"dog"to describe positive actions．In English，for example，"You are a lucky dog"means"You are a lucky person"．And"Every dog has its day"means"Each person has good luck sometimes"．However．Chinese love cats very much．But in Western culture．"cat"is often used to describe a woman who is cruel（冷的）．There are many other examples of how"cat"is used differently as well．

13．One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency．You know，you would be submerged（淹没） in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely．We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy．
The trip was not ve ry long but it was still very impressive．We looked forward to going there again!Of course，we spent lots of time arranging the trip，but it was well worth it!Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa，but everything went quite smoothly in the end．
The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation．In the Italian consulate（领事馆），one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa．Then we had to solve the ticket problem．Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance．The next step was to book a hotel．We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip．
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome．Our big house，which was surrounded by the forest，was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence，beautiful views，hospitable（好客的） hosts，comfortable living conditions which delighted us to no end．Besides this，we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian．She gave us a lot of advice that was of great us．She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go．
Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself．It's not difficult!The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves．We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just twice or three times．So，if you're also planning a"single"trip，don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue．
