The scenery was so wonderful that I took many pictures along the way.In Wenlin we had a ride in a pedal taxi from the new bus station to the old one to catch the bus to Xitang. What fun it was to ride in something I have only ever seen on the screen. We were soon on the Xitang bus. Driving through Xitang was an eye opener. It was very hilly, and the houses were all built in several stories up the hillside, attractive indeed and very different from the houses in Hangzhou, or elsewhere.At the last stop we arrived and, with our luggage, started walking along a deserted road lined with 3-storey buildings. The ground floor shops were 99% empty. Imagine a street in China with no people around. Towards the end of the road we were greeted by three teenage girls, who gestured and spoke to us, directing us back theway we had come. Then we crossed the road to a large church building.We were led into this building, where a young lady received us. She spoke English and after some conversation very kindly invited us to stay in the church. The local hotels were closed.She took us on a wonderful tour, and on the way it was decided that we would take a ride on a fishing boat out to sea and around an island. We even saw the monument to the first part of mainland China the sun shone on January 1st, 2000. We went down to the harbour area where we had a delicious seafood meal at a seaside restaurant. We walked down to a fishing boat, climbed on board, and soon were heading to the sea. The setting sun afforded a wonderful photo opportunity of the cliffs and houses, shops and harbour of Xitang. When our trip was finished we went for a walk through the wonderful shops in the town. This is old China or at least the way I imagine old China to be.All in all, it was a most happy and exciting experience. I will definitely be going back to visit these wonderful people in the near future.1. The transport by which they went around Xitang included ___________.A. pedal taxi, bus, boatB. bus, pedal taxi, shipC. bus, car, shipD. car, boat, ship2.

How to Enjoy a Good Time in XitangBThe Age of DiscoveryHave you ever wondered how some inventions have changed human history? Do you know the meaning of the “Age of Discovery”? What is the meaning of your city’s name? Do you sometimes ask yourself how some places got their names? Let us look at a brief story of the activities of the early European explorers who discovered America and other places.The years between the 14th and 17th centuries are popularly called the Renaissance(文艺复兴)period. The word renaissance means reawakening(复兴)or rebirth. The Renaissance period was marked by a rebirth in learning. It began in Italy and quickly spread to other parts of Europe, such as England, Germany, France and Spain. The rebirth in learning was made possible by the invention of printing and other technologies. These facilitated(促进)the production of books and the spread of knowledge. This period was also the beginning of the Age of Discovery. Led by Portugal and Spain, exploration began to spread beyond the waters of the known world to discover new lands.One of the main reasons for the increasing interest in sea travels was Europe’s desire to find a sea route to the countries of the Far Eastern countries, especially to India, at first by sailing around the continent of Africa. In their search for a new sea route to India, the Europeans discovered new lands they had never known existed before. One of the greatest accidental discoveries in history wasChristopher Columbus’ discovery of America. He had set out hoping to discover a sea route to India. When he arrived in America in 1492 he thought he had reached Asia. Until his death Columbus truly believed that he had discovered India. Columbus’mistake has lived on to present times as Native Americans are still called Indians, and the islands of the Caribbean are still called the West Indies. Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer, later realized that what Columbus had discovered was actually a separate continent. Later, a German expert, Martin Waldseemuller published a map of the then known world. He named the new land America in honour of Amerigo Vespucci.6. The period between the 14th and 17th centuries was called the Renaissance because _________.A. a general interest in learning and knowledge reawakenedB. people reawakened from a long sleepC. more babies were being bornD. many new things were invented7. The Renaissance was made possible because _________.A. people were eager to learnB. it began in ItalyC. new inventions made learning easier than beforeD. everyone agreed that there should be a renaissance8. Which of these statements is true?A. Only Portugal and Spain went out to discover new places.B. The Renaissance is the same as the Age of Discovery.C. Columbus discovered Asia.D. Portugal and Spain were leaders in the discovery of new lands.9. The Europeans started sailing to faraway places because _________.A. they wanted to sail around AfricaB. they wanted to look for a sea route to the Far EastC. there was no road between Europe and the Far EastD. they wanted to give European names to new places10. Why did Christopher Columbus believe that he had arrived in India?A. He saw many Indians.B. It was an accidental discovery.C. The American Indians told him it was India.D. At the very beginning, he set out to discover a sea route to India.Ⅷ. 书面表达请以“A Trip to Shanghai Expo”为题, 写一篇博文(词数120左右)，具体内容如下：1. 你和父母7月26日开始了为期四天的上海世博之旅；2. 世博园园区大、环境美、规划合理；3. 吉祥物“海宝”代表了人与自然之间的和谐；4. 你将上传旅行的照片和网友分享，希望大家会喜欢。
