Hotels are no longer the first or the only choice for travelers in China to sleep in at night. A new type of accommodation（住宿）choice called bed-and-breakfast（B&B）is welcoming more visitors in China.
During this month’s Golden Week, bookings for the B&B in China grew by 400 percent from 2016, according to the B&B booking website tujia.com.
Starting in Europe, B&B is often a private family home. Travellers pay to stay overnight and have breakfast. In China, many B&Bs are in rural（农村的）areas and more about fun, experiences and new friendships, reported by China Daily.
“The meals are cooked by the host. Very often, vegetables are homegrown. Hosts and guests chat over the meal and play with the pets together,” Yu Minliang, a 23-year-old tourist from Shanghai, told China Daily.
However, as more B&Bs come out, the service sometimes may not be good enough. Some guests complained the soundproofing（隔音）was bad and the house was dirty.
To solve the problem, the first national industry standards were carried out on Oct.1. For example, every B&B should provide not more than 14 guest rooms and things like towels and sheets must be changed after every visitor.
The standards will help the B&B industry develop in a healthy and sustainable（可持续的）way, reported CNR（中国广播网）.

【推荐1】I work as a volunteer for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Brian there for a week, hoping to educate (教育) him.
Before setting out, I told Brian this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then, on the third day, as we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned (咧嘴笑), “Pretty hard.”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brian around. Later he said regretfully (遗憾地), “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy who always hated French classes.
However, the moment that really touched my heart occurred (发生) in a village deep in the mountains. I was interviewing a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write, and became part of the leadership (领导层) of the village.
Learning her story, Brian was greatly touched. His eyes were wet and there was love and respect (尊敬) on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brian even offered to stay there as a volunteer. The trip was very meaningful.

【推荐2】I had a special summer vacation with my friends last year.
Early in the morning, we met at the high railway station with our own luggage. Our parents said goodbye with a little worry while we were all happy and even excited. It took us more than two hours to arrive at our destination—Mount Huang. We got off the railway happily and took another one hour to find our hotel by taxi successfully.
During the first night, we had a big party. Everyone had a good time singing, dancing, talking and playing. Nobody seemed to be homesick, although it was the first time we went to a vacation by ourselves. The next day, we got up very early to climb the mountain because we didn’t want to wait in line. Mount Huang is no wonder one of the most famous mountain s in our country. Along the way climbing the mountain, we could enjoy the sea of clouds, wondrous pines and special rocks. At Guang Ming summit, we had lunch and took lots of photos. We even met several wild monkeys when we went down the mountain. They were so cute that we wanted to touch them. However, it was dangerous. So we just watched them far away. How lucky we were!
At about five p.m., we reached the foot of the mountain. We were tired but satisfied. Mount Huang is really a good place to visit.

【推荐1】In some parts of the world there are large parts of the land called deserts. In there deserts there are no plants, no running water and no houses. Usually it is very dry and there is very little rain. Nothing can be seen around but sand, stones and rocks, as far as the eye can see.

No horse could carry heavy loads across these great deserts, but nature has give to man another animal that can do this work. This animal is the camel.
When sailors cross the sea in a ship, the ship must carry everything they need. As the camel has to do the same for its master in the desert, it has been called "the ship of the desert". When the camel is being loaded it kneels down. Then it is low enough that its master can put a load on its back. When the day's march is over，and the time for rest has come, ti kneels again to have its load taken off.

【推荐2】Have you ever been angry at someone when you were very hungry? If so, you’ve experienced “hangry（饿怒症）” —some people get angry easily as they are hungry. The reason for this lies in what happens inside your body when it needs food.
Everything you eat would be changed into different kinds of nutrients（营养物质） in your body. As time passes after your last meal, these nutrients in your blood drop. Also, your blood glucose（血糖）drops.
Unlike other parts in your body, your brain totally depends on blood glucose to do its job. You’ve probably already noticed that simple things can become difficult when you’re hungry and your blood glucose levels drop. You may find it hard to pay attention. For example, you may make silly mistakes in your study and homework. You might also have noticed that you can’t even speak clearly when you’re too hungry.
Another thing that happens when you’re hungry is behaving impolitely and can’t control yourself, such as snapping at others. You may still be too angry to control yourself when you are staying with the people you are most relaxed with. That’s why you may find yourself being impatient with your parents or friends.
So, what should we do to avoid being hangry? The easiest way is to eat something before you get too hungry. The final way is to suggest that difficult situations should be dealt with after a meal, not before.
1. What do the underlined words “snapping at” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?| A．Shouting at. | B．Looking at. | C．Laughing at. | D．Pointing at. |
A． | B． | C． | D． |
| A．To avoid eating any food when you’re hungry. | B．To deal with difficult situations after meals. |
| C．To stay with people you are most relaxed with. | D．You can always have a full stomach. |
