(23-24八年级上·上海浦东新·期中)I had a week’s holiday to use and I wanted to spend it in the best hotel I could find. That was why I chose The Haven in a country park. I thought I would be able to 1 the problems and pressures of daily life. But, just 24 hours after arriving there, my wife and I experienced problems with the restaurant and security(安全).
We should have left when we saw two policemen walking outside the hotel, looking closely at the building. One of them showed us how our room could be slipped in through the windows. It seems that the hotel has no 2 on the windows. Although we were a little worried, our concerns were forgotten when we believed a good-sized bed, a flat-screen TV, a spa bath and more suggested a comfortable stay.
Things started to go from bad to worse the following morning when I found the restaurant only served low-fat meals. I was 3 : six days of rabbit food and no steak and chips. What had I let myself in for? We should have been told about the food before we booked. I ordered my breakfast against my will anyway, but I had to wait 45 minutes for it to arrive. This was not the 4 I had expected.
That afternoon, when we returned from a tour around a village nearby, we found that nearly $200 had been stolen from our room. The Haven refused to pay back the money. They claimed that they could not be 5 any loss if our window was not locked.

It was such an unforgettable experience. I remember going to the homeless shelter to hand out the toys to kids, asking them all to 4 with one another. I could see the surprise among them.

I explained that Santa was sorry he was so late, and this gift was made 5 for him! The boy took the gift slowly, smiled and ran to his mother.

I explained that Santa was sorry he was so late, and this gift was made 5 for him! The boy took the gift slowly, smiled and ran to his mother.
