Last summer we went on an exciting trip to Sarawak in Malaysia, a part of the island of Borneo(婆罗洲). Borneo is famous　　1　　 its rainforest, which covers 427 500 square kilometres of the island. This rainforest is 130 million years old, making it one of the　　2　　 rainforests in the world.
When we were in Sarawak, we were lucky enough to go hiking　　3　　 the jungle(丛林). In the jungle, we came across many wild　　4　　. Our favourite animals were orangutans(猩猩). We watched them jump from tree to tree. The graceful(优美的) and gentle animals made all of us feel much closer to　　5　　.
The guide told us many stories of fantastic spitting cobras(喷毒眼镜蛇). He said that they were more　　6　　 us than we were of them! Another interesting feature of Sarawak is that there are many tribes(部落), which still　　7　　 in the rainforest today.
When we visited one of these tribes, people there told us about their long history. We were really　　8　　 in their stories and traditions. We also enjoyed their　　9　　, such as Manok pansoh, which was chicken cooked in bamboo.
In Sarawak, there are also rivers and many different birds.　　10　　, we didn't have time to visit Turtle Island. It's a wonderful place where you can swim with the turtles.
This holiday has been a life - changing experience that we will never forget.

Dubai is a city of big business, expensive hotels, skyscrapers(摩天大楼) and shopping malls. In the early 20th century, Dubai was a successful trading port. People from the world stopped in Dubai to do business. But it was still a small city, and most people lived as fishermen and businessmen. Then in 1966, people discovered(发现) oil. This brought a lot of money into the area, and soon Dubai began to change.
Today Dubai is one of the world's most important business centres. In fact, each year the city gets its money mainly from business, not oil.
