Astronomythe science of the stars Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2014·湖南十校联考)Fernando and I were arguing about why I never took any real vacations.When he suggested we go off somewhere for three entire weeks，“You decide.” I said. He chose a little fishing village off the coast and he planned out a schedule.Our trip was full of wonder and fun，but when we got there，the shabby hotel failed to satisfy us，so we left a day early for the beach.As we drove，we passed two orphanages(孤儿院)．Christmas was only a few days away，and I felt that I should stop to do something for the children.
