2024-2025学年八年级下册阅读填空专练 Week 15 A Since China canceled(取消) tourist visas(签证) for South Korea, many young South Koreans are choosing to go to China after their work on Fridays. This lets them enjoy the special things about a different country without messing up their normal jobs. The new policy(政策), which took effect on on November 8, 2024, and will last until December 31, 2025, allows people from nine countries—Slovakia, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, and South Korea—to visit China without a visa for fun, work, family, or just passing through. A travel company in South Korea said that from November 1 to 21, they got 75% more requests(请求) for trips to China than before, and requests for tours in Shanghai went up by an amazing 178%. Many people from South Korea like to go to Shanghai for the weekend. This is because Shanghai is a big city with lots of different cultures and it’s easy to get there. Besides Shanghai, there are also many tourists who want to visit Chongqing, Zhangjiajie, and other places to try Chongqing hot pot or enjoy the beautiful nature in Zhangjiajie.

Stamp collecting recently has become a fresh and cool way for young people to record their travels. Kuang Zhaoxin, a 26-year-old designer, loves traveling. And she also loves to use a scrapbook(剪贴簿) to record her travels. Early last year, during one of her trips, she came across stamp collecting and decided to bring it into her scrapbook. Now before each trip, she looks for stamp collecting guides online. Every time during her trip, she can collect many stamps. “I enjoy collecting the interesting stamps. They are colorful pictures of nice places, names of the places and photos of famous people. They help me record my happy travels,” said Kuang. Shi Junchu, 29, from Yunnan, came across stamp collecting three years ago while traveling in Wuhan and Hubei. She thinks it is a good way of recording her travels. She always carries a notebook for collecting stamps whenever she travels. She now has six notebooks with stamps. “Stamp collecting adds more meaning to my travels. Turning the pages of those notebooks feels like looking at photos. I can remember what delicious food I had, and what fun experiences I enjoyed,” said Shi.

Now, here is one book that tells some of them. Do you think you would enjoy following the lives of people in ancient China? If so, you can try A New Account of Tales of the World. It’s said that the scholar(学者) Liu Yiqing finished this book. In this book, there are more than 600 characters, such as writers, painters, musicians, and other artists living during the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties. Some describe what the characters look like. Some are about what the characters are good at. Some tell readers why the characters think this way. Each story has its own topic but every article has something in common—showing someone’s most special traits(特点). And all the characters in the book are real in history. The book has 1,130 small stories about these characters. Many stories are one hundred words long or even shorter. And many stories may not be facts. They might come from another novel. Or people heard something about one character and then it became a story in this book. It sounds like A New Account of Tales of the World is simply a storybook. But in fact, many scholars like Lu Xun ever talked about how important this book was. Well, how does this special book have its place in Chinese literature? First, it’s the earliest book of this kind so it became something special in the Chinese literature’s development. Second, although the stories are short, they help make readers think seriously about their life or something else. The book has much to say about both the large and the small thoughts of life. It’s probably compiled by Liu Yiqing. It includes 1,130 small stories about over 600 characters. The stories are about people living from Eastern Han Dynasty to Jin Dynasty.
