     If you're a fan of winter activities，but in need of some sun，then perhaps a May trip to Svalbard is in order.Svalbard is located about 620 miles south of the North Pole.In late spring，the sun never dips below the horizon，and it means you can take in all the Vitamin D you desire for.Popular activities in the area include hiking and wildlife spotting.

     Japan
     If you want to catch the wonderful cherry blossom season in Japan，National Geographic Travel says you should head there between January and May.Recommended activities include taking a dip in the hot springs in Kawazu and boating downThe Kitakami River to Tenshoch Park where 10，000 cherry trees turn into charming pale pink avenues.

• 8．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
      "Ouch!" I howled in pain as I dropped the hammer onto my foot.I felt foolish.
      It was pouring with rain，and lame for a moment，I hopped around to the driver's side.
      "No luck？" said George.We had a flat tyre（轮胎） and I was trying to change the wheel.But it was stuck firm.
      We had driven ten hours along the road through the jungle without seeing another soul.In the distance was an ox working in the field.
      "So what do we do now？How can we find a garage？" asked George，as I got back into the car.About fifteen minutes later，the rain stopped.Out of the jungle came an old woman.She walked towards us carrying something long and thin.
      "Uh，oh，here comes danger!" said George， "She's got a spear."
      She was wearing traditional garments，with short sleeves，a colorful necklace and other jewelry.As she got closer，we saw the spear was just a wooden pole.I got out.
      "Hello!" I said，in English， "Can you help us？" I pointed to the wheel.
      She stared at it，and then made a gesture to follow her back to the jungle.George and I looked at each other，and then set off after her.
      Soon we came to a tent under some trees.It had a firm framework of wooden poles.It looked like the one the woman was carrying，covered with heavy cloth，and fastened with rope made of some kind of loose plant fiber.All round were corn plants.It was harvest time for the grain，and a spade，a fork and other tools were lying on the ground.Nearby were some chicks and a rooster，and a pig tied to a post.
      The woman folded back a cloth and invited us in.My eyes had to adjust to the darkness inside.The tent was furnished with a few mats on the floor，and a low table with a teapot.She picked up a photo and showed it to us.Was it her husband？The man in the photo was bare to the waist.He looked much too young.She was probably a widow（寡妇）.Maybe her son or her nephew？
      Our hostess poured some tea and watched smiling as we drank.
      "Say something." said George.
  注意：
  1.续写词数应为150左右；
  2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
      I was wondering what to say when I heard the sound of footsteps out of the tent._________
     Together we walked back to the car._______
