【推荐3】There is no better way for a foreigner to understand China and its people than firsthand experience.
The experience of traveling around China has paid off handsomely, both in aspects of personal enrichment and in my ability to do my job well as an editor. When news articles mention places in China, I can often visualize(视觉化) them.
There was an article, for example, about the people of Guoliang village, built on the top of a remote cliff(悬崖) in Henan province.
I have seen that tunnel and, having done so, acquired a vivid understanding of that incredible task. But what has stuck with me above all other memories of China was an experience at Beijing’s Temple of Heaven.
It was a pleasant summer evening, just at sunset. My wife and I were walking through the gate of the temple park to enjoy the dusky calm. Suddenly, I heard what sounded like distant voices raised in song.
The Chinese people standing nearby offered smiles of welcome. It was a moment of unity. The politicians might call it a people-to-people exchange. For me, the group represented a feeling of love, like a family.
It was over all too soon, and everybody left.
A.I didn’t know the Chinese lyrics(歌词). |
B.However, I didn’t want to be rude. |
C.I went to investigate out of curiosity. |
D.However, the feeling stayed with me. |
E.They needed to connect with the outside world. |
F.I will always be grateful to be given that opportunity. |
G.The travel to Guoliang village always sticks in my mind. |

【推荐2】Smith, Williams, Brown are common surnames that you will meet in Britain. However, you may come across some strange English surnames. The following surnames are rare, but they are real.
