二、Lily 和 Tom 也分别讲述了自己的假期生活和感受。请阅读短文,完成下列题目。
Last spring,I visited Wuyuan in Jiangxi,which is famous as "the most beautiful village in China". When I arrived,I was amazed by endless golden flower fields under clear blue skies. I spent days hiking through ancient villages with white-walled houses. The local people I met along the way all smiled warmly. One afternoon,an old man shared stories about his family's history,making me feel close to the past.
At sunset,I sat by a quiet river,listening to the sound of the wind and birds singing. My heart felt peaceful. This trip taught me to enjoy nature's beauty and the value(价值)of simple,slow lives. Wuyuan wasn't just a place — it was a gentle reminder to cherish(珍惜)moments of peace in our busy lives.
—Lily
I spent the whole August at home because my parents were busy with work. Every morning,I reviewed maths and English for two hours. In the afternoon,I helped clean the house and water the plants. Later,I baked cookies and painted landscapes. I felt pleased because I improved my cooking skills and finished three artworks. I learned to make the best use of my time without anyone reminding me. Staying at home wasn't boring — I really enjoyed myself!
