Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn't speak a word of English, I couldn't tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn't understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.
When I returned to the hotel, I was tired out, but I couldn't sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings, big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.

Less than three years ago, the Parisi Hotel was just an office building above the shops on the corner of Prospect Street. Now, that valuable space is an intimate luxury hotel -- with several rooms overlooking the ocean. You'll be amazed when you enter from the corner and ascend the curving staircase to the second-floor lobby. It will take you into a different world.
What will you find when you enter the large contemporary lobby is a handsome and peaceful space that was designed with a hint of Tuscany (托斯卡娜,意大利中西部地名) in its modern Mediterranean (地中海式的) style. The lobby has a large fireplace with comfortable sofas in warm neutral colors surrounding it. You'll feel relaxed just sitting there with its skylight overhead letting in the morning sun.
All the rooms are more like suites, with large comfortable beds, beautiful baths and stylish custom- designed furnishings and art throughout.
The Parisi Hotel is the perfect place for seniors because it's quiet and restful -- with only 20 rooms. You won't find many hotels like this in the center of a tourist town.
The shops are all around you. Likewise for some of the city's best restaurants, you will never have to take your car out of the garage during your stay. And, by the way, the underground parking lot at the Parisi Hotel is free for hotel guests.
Once you stay at this little gem (珍宝), you'll want to return again and again. I know we do. It's a perfect place for seniors.
Rates for standard suites begin at $275. You can call the hotel for reservation at (858) 454-1531. The Parisi Hotel is located at 1111 Prospect St. right across from La Valencia.
The Pafisi Hotel is described as ______.
A.a luxury hotel with comfortable facilities
B.a large hotel famous for its rooms facing the ocean
C.a good place for escaping away from the noisy city
D.a tourist attraction full of amazing corners

Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect than that of a young lawyer from Virginia -Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up for discussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the first time, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so openly. "Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be bought at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty(万能的 ) God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
