2．Holiday home越来越多的英国人选择在国内度假
The British people have just discovered a new country.It's called the UK!More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in their own country rather than travel abroad.
One of the most traditional British holidays is the "seaside holiday".Stereotypically （典型地），families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns.
In the late 1970s，air travel became affordable （负担得起） for the average （普通的） family，and more and more British people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays.After all，the British weather isn't very good，even in summer，so a lot of Britons leave the UK for a vacation.
British holidaying habits have begun to change，however.Climate （气候） change means that the UK now has a hotter climate than before，so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather.Also，the credit crunch （信贷危机） has affected （影响） the international value of the British pound，so going abroad is more expensive than it used to be.As a result，more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
In the UK，the domestic （国内的） tourism industry—when people go on holiday in their own country—is healthier than it has been before.UK newspapers have even invented a new word：a "staycation".It is a term to describe the vacation when people stay in their own homes and go on a few day-trips rather than spending money on hotels.
In some ways，therefore，the UK has come full circle.There is now an increased appreciation （欣赏） among Britons for the diversity （多样性） of the UK.It is not just the geography that is diverse，ranging（范围包括） from the green hills of England to the mountains of Scotland.It is also the diversity of cultures that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists.People forget sometimes that there are different accents（方言），languages，traditions，cuisines （美食） and peoples across all the regions of the UK.
The UK has always been famous for its international explorers （探险者）.It is only just starting to discover itself.

6．People have been celebrating Christmas for years.However，only a small number of people knew it at the（1）
（begin） of the 19th century.Thanks to Charles Dickens and his great work — Christmas Carol，Christmas became one of the most popular（2）（festival） around the world.
At the age of 31，Charles was a well-known writer with 4 children.But life wasn't easy for him.His last novel didn't seem（3）（sell） well.What was worse，his friends kept borrowing money from him and his wife was going to give birth（4）their fifth baby ...He wondered（5）he could afford it .On an October evening，he walked along the Thames，lonely and（6）（unhappily），hoping to find inspirations for his next book.The moment he saw the terrible living conditions of homeless people，he came up with（7）idea.Why not write a story to encourage people in need before Christmas？
