The latest Go Jiangsu trip began at the Xuzhou Museum on September 21 with a group of 13 foreigners from 11 countries. They set out to experience Han culture in Xuzhou, a place where Han culture began. In the afternoon, the group changed into hanfu. They experienced different traditional Chinese folk arts, including sugar painting and paper cutting.
Afterwards, everyone admired the valuable exhibits at the Xuzhou Museum. Michelle Hsu from South Africa was full of praise for the Xuzhou Museum. “I had a hanfu teacher who taught me a lot about Han customs, like how to hold our hands and how to greet people. I also learned other interesting things about Han culture. Many of them were surprising for me.”
That evening, they gathered at the beautiful Yunlong Lake to enjoy a show The Splendor of Pengcheng (彭城风华). The show brought to life the connection between the famous poet Su Shi (1037-1101) and the people of Xuzhou. “It has impressed me with great dancing and amazing scenes,” said Costerg Fabien from France. “I highly recommend my friends to see this show.”

Going to Mount Huangshan reminds me of the popular song The Long and Winding Road. What is so breathtaking about the experience is the out-of-this-world scenes. The rolling sea of clouds at the top of the mountain will remind you how tiny we humans are.
The hot spring (温泉) at the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It will surely help you get refreshed! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets, the hotter the spring is! Strange, isn’t it? But that’s how nature is —always leaving us amazed.
What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can’t help wondering how hard it was for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it offers a place where you can sit down to rest your aching legs.
As the song goes, this long and winding road “will never disappear”. It will always stick in the visitor’s memory. It sure does in mine. While you are in China, Mount Huangshan is a must to visit!
29. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A weather record. B. A hot spring bath. C. A composer story. D. A travel experience.
30. What does the underlined part “the only unnatural thing” refer to?
A. The hot spring. B. The endless steps. C. The sea of clouds. D. The high temperature.
31. What might the writer say about his trip to Mount Huangshan?
A. It’s tiring but surely worth it. B. It’s good but it’s too expensive.
C. It’s easy to do the climbing. D. It’s good to sing when climbing.

When asked who invented the telephone, most people say it was Alexandre Graham Bell. However, in 2002 the US Congress agreed that the true inventor was an unknown Italian inventor, who died in poverty in New York. And his name is Antonio Meucci.
Antonio Meucci was born in Florence in 1808. In the 1830s, he got into trouble with the rulers for his political views. After a period in prison, he decided to move to Cuba. There he continued working on his inventions. He discovered that sounds could travel through wires. In 1850, Meucci moved to the US, where he thought he would have more chances to develop his ideas. When his wife became ill, he developed a simple telephone system so that she could “phone” him from her bed while he was working. Around 1860, he showed his last invention, but because he didn’t speak English well, few people were interested. Then in 1870, he became ill himself and had to sell his plans to pay for doctors. Meanwhile, another inventor, Alexandre Graham Bell was working on a similar idea and the rest is history...

Going to Mount Huangshan reminds me of the popular song The Long and Winding Road. What is so breathtaking about the experience is the out-of-this-world scenes. The rolling sea of clouds at the top of the mountain will remind you how tiny we humans are.
The hot spring (温泉) at the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It will surely help you get refreshed! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets, the hotter the spring is! Strange, isn’t it? But that’s how nature is —always leaving us amazed.
What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can’t help wondering how hard it was for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it offers a place where you can sit down to rest your aching legs.
As the song goes, this long and winding road “will never disappear”. It will always stick in the visitor’s memory. It sure does in mine. While you are in China, Mount Huangshan is a must to visit!

When asked who invented the telephone, most people say it was Alexandre Graham Bell. However, in 2002 the US Congress agreed that the true inventor was an unknown Italian inventor, who died in poverty in New York. And his name is Antonio Meucci.
Antonio Meucci was born in Florence in 1808. In the 1830s, he got into trouble with the rulers for his political views. After a period in prison, he decided to move to Cuba. There he continued working on his inventions. He discovered that sounds could travel through wires. In 1850, Meucci moved to the US, where he thought he would have more chances to develop his ideas. When his wife became ill, he developed a simple telephone system so that she could “phone” him from her bed while he was working. Around 1860, he showed his last invention, but because he didn’t speak English well, few people were interested. Then in 1870, he became ill himself and had to sell his plans to pay for doctors. Meanwhile, another inventor, Alexandre Graham Bell was working on a similar idea and the rest is history...
