Stonehenge
With a history of about 5,000 years, Stonehenge is one of the world wonders. It's a circle of stones of different heights. The stones used to be about 200 kilometers away. Now people still wonder how these people moved the huge stones without machines' help.

Last year I went on holiday to southern Spain with my best friends, Joanna and Ling.
The Spanish people are very warm to visitors. Although I suggest you should know a few simple words in Spanish to communicate with local people, the Spanish people are willing(愿意的) to speak in English. When we arrived, we didn't know where to find a hotel. We came to an old man and asked him for help politely. With his help, we got to a cheap but wonderful hotel, which even had a swimming pool. There we really enjoyed ourselves.
This year, Joanna is going away with her parents to Greece, so it'll be just Ling and me. Ling wants us to go on an adventure holiday(冒险旅行) in Africa. That means we have to walk in the desert and sleep out in the open. She said it would be better than having a lazy holiday, because we would learn about the world around us and see some wild animals. I'm not sure whether I want to go to Africa. For me, a holiday means relaxing on a beach, not walking all the way. Ling said that we would see elephants and have some amazing experiences. I think she's bored with lying in the sun all day. I have to make up my mind by next Monday so that she can buy the plane tickets. It would cost 1,400 each to go to Africa, but for two weeks in Portugal, less than half that money would be enough.
1.Which word can best describe the old man

B.The Spanish don't like to speak in English.
C.Ling doesn't like to see wild animals.
D.The writer hopes for a cheap holiday.
