Both China and Japan are beautiful countries.But personally, if I can only choose one, I will choose China.
Japan is a very modern country, and we can still see many ancient buildings and go to Osaka for the food which are unforgettable.However, China is much bigger in area.I do not think we can really explore and enjoy China in 30 days.Therefore, saying “visit China” is a bit incorrect, just like saying “visit the US” is not really correct.The US is also so big that people should say “visit NY” “visit Vegas” “visit SF”, etc.
China is also super modern, and we can also see the world-famous ancient side of China.The difference between the two counties is that some scenery(风景) in China can be really breathtaking.For example, we take long walks on the Great Wall to see the tall walls and beautiful mountains along the way.
As for the food, once I met a Western famous cook who said in the world there are only two types of food: French and Chinese.Also, going to China is much cheaper compared with travelling in Japan.
If you only have a short vacation, Japan wins.But if you have more than one week, China wins.If you have only one week and want to go to China, pick Beijing and the surroundings(周围).One week should be enough.
( )1.Why does the writer think we can't explore and enjoy China in 30 days?
A.Because there are many places of interest in China.
B.Because China is very large in area.
C.Because you need more time to enjoy the food in China.
D.Because Chinese people are very friendly to make you stay more days.
( )2.What does the underlined word “breathtaking” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Wonderful. B.Personal.
C.Classical. D.Relaxing.
( )3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Chinese food is better than Japanese food in the Western famous cook's opinion.
B.You will spend more money travelling to China than to Japan.
C.The writer advises that you can go to Japan for a long vacation.
D.The passage tells us the population, the food and the scenery about the two countries.
( )4.The passage may be from a column(专栏) of ______ in a newspaper.
A.education B.science
C.travel D.food
( )5.What's the purpose of writing the passage?
A.To advise you to travel to China.
B.To ask for advice about travelling.
C.To show China is the strongest country in the world.
D.To compare the differences between travelling to China and Japan.
