The following top places that are worth visiting in China are recommended on the tourism website.
Gannan
Located in south western Gansu province and the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Gannan has both Tibetan culture and spectacular plateau (高原) landscape. With the average altitude of 3, 000 meters above sea level, you can experience Tibetan culture and enjoy the plateau scenery, grand grasslands, Tibetan villages, unique mountain peaks, and hidden wonderlands without the risk of altitude sickness in October.
Yading
Yading, a place where you can gain insight into the Tibetan minority culture, can be available via Daocheng. The golden fall colors here are splendid. The red bushes of Hongcaodi combined with the yellow leaves under the clear blue sky are believed to exhibit the colors of heaven. The temples in these mountains represent the local Buddhist culture.
Kaili
Kaili is one of the best places as a base for exploring minority cultures. In Kaili, the museum, the Sunday market, and the villages nearby with their unique culture and architecture are all worth a visit. It is said that in Kaili“grand festivals occur there every three days, while minor ones occur every day.” Autumn is a perfect season for outdoor activities, when you can enjoy the flesh air and cool weather.
Mongolia Autonomous Region
October is a great time to visit Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. At this time, travelers can go to the quiet Ejina to enjoy the wonderful scenery of the area’s unique populous Euphratica Forest (胡杨林). The particularity of its geographical position has blessed Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with rich travel resources including plains, deserts, sparkling lakes, and massive herds of cattle and sheep.

There can be magic in the touch of a hand that loves you. It brings comfort and a silent promise that says, “I am here and you are not alone.”
When my children were born, I memorized every detail about them: the skin that felt so, soft, the lips that looked like a pink flower, and the eyes that looked deep into my soul. And, of course, their hands.
As babies, they reached for me whenever they were hungry or tired or just needed to be held. Sometimes, if they woke in the night, just the touch of my hand would case them back to sleep. They clung (抓住) to me when they took their first ’steps and we held hands when crossing streets and walking from the car to their classroom on their first day of school.
My hands picked them up when they fell, and clapped louder than anybody else at their sports games and plays. Their hands waved at me from the window of a school bus, the stage of an auditorium (观众席), and from the bottom of a pool.
As they grew older and more independent, I noticed that they didn’t hold my hand much anymore. I told myself it was part of growing up, and I should just be glad they could do things on their own now. But when you’ve been needed so much for such a long time, it’s hard to step back and feel unnecessary.
Then one day. I was visiting my oldest son in New York, where he was working as an actor on a TV show. As we were about lo cross a busy street that was filed with traffic, he grabbed my hand and shouted, “Hang on 10 me, Mom,” then led me safely across.
At that moment, I realized two things. First, my boy had become mature. Second, it was clear that our roles had changed. We still needed each other but in much more different ways than before.
That scene has replayed in various ways with each of my three children. They have all taught me to lean on them just as they once leaned on me, and that we can always lean on each other. We live miles apart, but stay in touch every day, There is magic and comfort and healing in the touch of a hand that loves you, even if it “touches” you from afar.

It happens every spring. Flowers suddenly burst out everywhere on the same day, as if they were in tune with one another; But how exactly do plants “know” when to flower?
It is a question that has puzzled biologists for years. But according to Science Daily, a US research group may have finally answered it. The secret lies in a protein called FKF1. This allows plants to sense the differences in day lengths so that they can tell the seasons are changing.
Researchers spotted the FKF1 protein when they were studying a plant called Arabidopsis. They found that the FKF1 protein is a photoreceptor (感光器). This means it is sensitive to, and can be activated (激活) by sunlight.
Plants produce this protein every day in the late afternoon throughout the year. If there is no light at this time, for example, in winter when the sun goes down early, the protein won’t be activated. But when spring comes and the days get longer, the FKF1 protein can be activated by daylight and the plants “know” it is time to flower. “The presence of light in the late afternoon is the signal for plants that the days are getting longer and that it is the optimal (最佳的) time for flowering,” explained Takato Imaizumi, assistant professor at the University of Washington and leader of the study. This daylight-sensing system also keeps plants from flowering when conditions are poor for growing, such as during autumn or winter when the weather is cold and days are short.
Although researchers have only studied how the FKF1 protein works in the Arabidopsis, they believe that the process is similar in many other more complex plants, including crops like rice and wheat. This could be useful to the agricultural industry.
“If we can control the timing of flowering, we might be able to increase crop yield by accelerating or delaying this,” Imaizumi said. “Also, if we could control the timing of flowering in horticultural (园艺的) plants, they may be worth more commercially.”
New technology based on this research might also lead to higher yields of biofuel (生物燃料) plants. This would be helpful for providing energy.

Tianwen-I probe enters orbit around Mars
After nearly seven months in space. China’s Tianwen-I probe successfully entered the orbit around Mars on February 10. It marks the first time that a Chinese spacecraft has orbited an outside-earth planet Tianwen-I consists of an orbiter. a lander and a six-wheeled rover carrying scientific instruments. A 3,000-Newton engine was fired up at 7:52 pm to slow down the spacecraft. After some 15 minutes, precise braking (刹) near Mars helped the probe succeed in entering the orbit around the Red Planet. That means Tianwen-I has become China’s first man-made satellite of Mars and achieved the first goal of its three-step mission—orbiting, landing and roving.
Tianwen-I makes China the sixth country to ever reach Mars. It was launched by a long March-5 carrier rocket, China’s largest launch vehicle, on July 23,2020. The probe has flown 475 million kilometers and was 192 million kilometers away from: Earth when it reached the Mars orbit.
Tianwen-I will now conduct several orbital corrections to enter a temporary, Mars “parking” orbit, looking for potential landing sites in preparation for a “touch-down” in May or June. The most challenging part of the mission will be the soft landing.
Chinese space engineers and scientists have chosen a relatively, flat region in the southern part of the Utopia Planitia, the largest plain on Mars, as the potential landing zone. The site was selected for its conditions for a safe landing and scientific research value. It has not been investigated by other countries yet, so the scientific data can be shared with the international community to enrich the world’s understanding of the Red Planet.
After the landing, the rover will be set free to, conduct scientific exploration and it has an expected lifespan(使用期限) of at least 90 Martian days(about three months on Earth). The orbiter, with a design lifespan of one Martian year(about 687 days on Earth), will relay(接转) communications to and from the rover while carrying out its own scientific detection work. If China can succeed in orbiting, landing and roving with Tianwen-I, it will take further challenges on the next Mars mission: collecting and bringing back samples from the surface.
Tianwen-I means “Questions to Heaven” and comes from a poem written by Qu Yuan, One of the greatest poets of ancient China The name represents the Chinese nation’s persistent determination in pursuing truth and science and exploring nature and the universe.
12. Tianwen-I had to ________ before it entered the orbit around the Red Planet.| A．speed up | B．slow down | C．change its direction | D．pause for a while |
| A．38, 000 km per hour. | B．9, 000 km per hour. |
| C．94, 000 km per hour. | D．66, 700 km per hour, |
| A．It is nearer to the orbit. |
| B．The climate conditions there are satisfactory. |
| C．It is easy for the rover to move on. |
| D．It is ideal for landing and scientific research. |
| A．Orbiting around Mars. |
| B．Roving on Mars. |
| C．Bring back samples from Mars. |
| D．Soft landing onto Mars. |
