A．FROM a skyline featuring both minarets（尖塔） and church spires to the call to prayer competing with music in a hip cafe, Istanbul is the only major city to span two continents． While it is known for sights dating back thousands of years, it also has a fascinating, and often ignored, modern scene that is finally receiving international attention． As a 2010 European Capital of Culture, the city is showcasing local artists in both historic areas and new museums — yet another example of how Istanbul is among the world’s most visually exciting cities．
B．WUHOU temple and surrounding areas are interesting and fun to walk through． It's worth spending time in a tea house, perhaps one in Renmin Park, because Chengdu's tea culture is worth experiencing． Chun Xi Lu, with its fluorescent lights and frenetic shoppers, is a good place to see the more modern China, especially at night． But the real attraction in Chengdu, and in Sichuan in general, is often the food． The hotpot, while not as spicy as in Chongqing, is worth trying． It is the same with chao shou, or dumplings． Maybe you should head over to the restaurant section right now．
C．SUNNY, fashion-forward, Sydney is an energetic city bent on making its mark． Sydney in particular is graced with wonderful weather most of the year． Many people are water sports fanatics and can be found on any given day enjoying the beautiful weather on the bay． Sports like surfing are being celebrated in their national birthplace． Boating or Sailing is another great way to enjoy the magnificent weather that Sydney offers most of the year．
D． THERE are many different Londons, and they appeal to people with many different passions: museum lovers, theatergoers, devotees of royalty, people who like to walk in the rain． But richest of all, perhaps, is the London for book lovers．Skip to next paragraph Because the city is the star and the backdrop of so much great literature, it is possible to believe you know it intimately（亲切的）— how it looks, how it feels — without ever leaving your home country, or indeed your home． But it is better to visit, if only for the joy of seeing the landscape of your imagination come to life． How thrilling it is to wander along Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes once fictionally solved the unsolvable!
E． CAIRO is third world and first world, Islamic world, a city that jars all the senses, all at once． There are thousands of years of history in this city of 18 million people, and that history can be seen in the people themselves: the seller peddling his beans from a decorated cart, the felucca （a traditional wooden sailing boat） captain guiding his sailboat through the murky Nile, the young man riding a bicycle through traffic with a ladder-sized tray of bread balanced on his head． Come prepared: a scarf for women to enter mosques; packets of tissues for bathroom stops; small bills for tips; and if you like to drink, a bottle or two of wine from the duty-free airport shop． Cairo has a lot to offer, but a good bottle of wine is not included．
F． MANY districts and landmarks in New York have become well- known to outsiders． The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries． The Broadway theater district is a major center of the world's entertainment industry． Anchored by Wall Street, in Lower Manhattan, New York vies with London as the financial capital of the world and is home to the New York Stock Exchange, the world's largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its listed companies． The original Manhattan Chinatown attracts a flood of tourists to its busy sidewalks and retail establishments．

Olympic building projects are at risk because skilled Polish workers are going back home and there are not enough skilled British workers to replace ___ . A quick training plan is being put in place to teach British people basic construction ____ specifically for Olympic projects. As the Polish builders are beginning to go back home, migrant workers from other parts of Eastern Europe are taking their places; ____, they don’t seem to be as well trained or have the same work ethics as the Polish workers. The Olympic Delivery Authority, the London Development Agency (LDA) and other partner organizations are going to spend ￡20 million —23 per cent of training budget for London 2012 —in increasing the skills of the British workforce to __ the construction needs of the Olympics. They are also training electricians. A total of 1,500 workers nationwide will become fully skilled electricians ___ attending the program. These workers will then work on building the Olympic Village. Iain MacDonald, head of a training program, told TheTimes, "All the way along we have been holding the view we can’t rely on migrant labour. We have to put in plans for the long term. We can’t rely on migrant labour all the time. Britain has become too dependent on the migrant labour force. It is better to develop the skills of the population."
People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly（不顾一切地） up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.
I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral. I didn’t expect the event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.
The teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would truely attract her, what would Nana say? ‘oh, what beautiful barking that dog has!’ That was Nana. ”
“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for my grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling, “That was Nana’s way.”
Through a low sob, he continued, “Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never one to show off.”
Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”
There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled.
When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest and dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ceremony . He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death.
All over again we felt those powerful losses crossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself. And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.
