The trip was not very long but it was so exciting that we never forgot. We look 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 worried about my visa, but everything went quite well 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 earlier. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about 30 km away from the centre of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the centre of Rome. Our big house was among the forest. The beautiful views, nice hosts, comfortable living conditions made us happy to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our hostess was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. 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 enjoy travelling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book wherever we wanted to go and we even met some of our countrymen on the way just two 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 local language.

查看习题详情和答案>>Connie, is also Italian, but she was born in the United States. Mario and Connie are big soccer (football) fans.
But when Mario came to the United States eight years ago, he didn't know that soccer was a popular sport
here. The only American sports that he heard a lot about were basketball, baseball and football. He was amazed
to learn that there were many soccer teams in the USA.
One Sunday afternoon, he was taking a walk and discovered two teams playing soccer in a park. He
watched the game. Both teams had excellent players, and the game was exciting. When it was over, he talked
to some of the players. They were from Italy, Spain, and Latin America. One of the teams needed another
player, and they asked Mario to join them. He was happy to do so. Seven years later he's still playing in the
team, and he's one of their best players.
His son Sal is also learning how to play soccer, and he goes to all of his dad's games. Mario practises
with him and shows him how to kick (踢) and pass the ball. He's only six years old, but he's fast and can
kick and pass well. His ability to play soccer is amazing (surprising). "Like father, like son," their friends said.
And Sal said, "I can't wait until I'm old enough to play in the team at my school."
Last week Mario, Connie and their two kids drove all the way from Chicago to New Jersey to visit
Connie's cousins. She hadn't seen her cousins for five years, but the biggest reason for the trip was that her
youngest cousin was getting married. She didn't want to miss the big wedding (婚礼) and the family reunion.
Her cousins are also crazy about soccer. One night her cousin Lou was playing. It was the game of the season,
and the whole family went to the game. Mario and Connie cheered when Lou's team played well. The score
was 2 to 2 at half time. It was exciting. No one scored in the third quarter, and then with only 60 seconds left,
Lou scored, and his team won 3 to 2. After the game they went to have pizza and celebrate.
B. Eight years ago.
C. Seven years ago.
D. After his two kids were born.
B. Sal looks very like his father Mario.
C. Mario likes his son and his son likes him.
D. Both Mario and Sal are good at playing football.
B. Lou's team didn't win at the end of the first half.
C. Lou kicked a ball close to the end of the whole game.

for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends.
Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking.
Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of
dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop
Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with
which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He
says Lieberman's charisma is key. "Food TV isn't about food anymore," says Flay. " "It' s about your
personality(个性) and finding a way to keep people's eyeballs on your show."
But Lieberman isn't putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show,
Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company (航空公司)
was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its
flights. Lieberman got the job.
B. love cooking at home
C. often hold parties
D. own a restaurant
B. from his teachers
C. through his taped show
