阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内的单词的正确形式。
Australia was always a country I wanted to visit so I saved up some money
and 56 (take) the plane for Australia at 57 end of the school term.
It was strange when I arrived. It was the start of winter! Happily, for me the
weather was still hot and sunny though. 58 also took me a while to get used
to the time difference.
The country is 59 (true) beautiful, full of wildlife you wouldn’t find
anywhere else in the world. I visited a koala sanctuary (考拉保护区) in Brisbane ----
there were koalas everywhere 60 (sleep) in the trees and I even got the
chance 61 (hold) one. I learned lots of 62 (fact) about koalas, too. For
example, koalas can sleep for up to 22 hours a day. At the sanctuary there were also
kangaroos (袋鼠) that we 63 (allow) to feed. They were really cute and friendly.
Another exciting part of my trip was snorkeling (潜泳) in the Great Barrier Reef,
as the water was very clear and blue. I was also lucky to see some 64 (interest) sea animals.
I loved visiting everywhere from the beautiful mountains and waterfalls in the
National Parks 65 the long white sandy beaches. It’s a beautiful country and worth visiting one day if you ever get the chance.
