It was a hot summer afternoon. Daniel finished his homework and lay in bed…

He found himself in front of a(n) ____1____ building. “Welcome to the world of ice hotel!” A stranger smiled at him. “An ice hotel?” Daniel ____2____.

“We are in the very north and it’s ____3____ most time of the year. Years ago, we had the idea of building an ice hotel. It has been very popular over the years,” the man said ____4____.

“Cool!” Daniel’s eyes opened wide. “How ____5____ you are!”

“Thanks. Once a year, we hold a design competition for different ____6____. There is no fixed theme. We want new designs. The only ____7____ is that there should be a bed in the room.”

“I live in a hot place. I have seldom seen ____8____ or ice. Can I have a try?” Daniel asked.

“Of course. People who have never worked with ice ____9____ come with a completely new open mind. Who knows? Our hotel ____10____ nature, technology and human creativity together.”

“Sounds great! ____11____ will the ice hotel last?” Daniel was curious.

“It won’t last long. ‘All things ____12____’ is part of the idea behind our hotel. As spring comes, the ice hotel will melt (融化) away. It will return to the river and wait to be reborn the following winter. It’s all part of the natural cycle. So why not ____13____ the competition? Maybe you will be the winner.” The man raised his hand…

The hand went pat, pat, pat… It didn’t hurt — it even felt good. Daniel opened his ____14____ and saw his mum. “Wake up, Daniel, ____15____ daydreaming. It’s time for supper!”

“What about going to the ice hotel, Mum?” Daniel said with sleepy eyes.

“Pardon? An ice hotel?” Mum looked at Daniel in surprise.
