After visiting the Beijing Normal School, Madame Peng took Sasha and Malia, my mother, and me to the Forbidden City, which is right in the heart of Beijing.

For more than 2,000 years (up until 1912), China was ruled by emperors who descended (传递)from many different dynasties, or families, who passed ruling positions on from generation to generation — and for nearly 500 years, the Forbidden City used as the emperor’s home.
Like the name suggests, the Forbidden City is large enough to be a city of its own — it includes nearly 1,000 buildings and nearly 10,000 rooms.
In 1925, the new Chinese government turned the Forbidden City into a museum so that visitors like us from all over the world can stroll (闲逛) through many of the beautiful rooms and outdoor spaces.
The Forbidden City is too large to go fully around in a single visit, but highlights include the following: The Hall of Union and Peace has almost 14,000 ornamental dragons. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is where the emperor watched birthday celebrations and coronation (加冕) ceremonies from his Dragon Throne. And then there are the Imperial Gardens, where you can walk along the paths and pavilions, admiring the beautiful rock arrangements, flowers and cypress (柏树) trees.
While we loved our visit to the Forbidden City, we only wish we had more time to see everything. But then again, I’m not sure there could ever be enough time to fully enjoy all of the art and history in this wonderful place.
(The First Lady’s Travel Journal: Touring the Forbidden City)
The writer visited The Forbidden City with _____________.
A. her daughters         B. her husband     C. her mother and two daughters
The Forbidden City is a _____________.
A. city              B. palace         C. garden
The Forbidden City was used as _____________ for nearly 500 years until 1912.
A. the emperor’s home                     
B. the emperor’s short-lived home
C. a place of interest for public
What does the word “highlights” mean?
A.景观亮点           B.聚光灯          C. 光亮
According to the passage, we can infer推断 that _____________.
A. They had enough time to visit every room
B. The Forbidden City served as a museum until 1925
C. The first lady enjoyed all of the art and history in this wonderful place

First, by traveling, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of different places. We can see with our own eyes many places which can be read about in books, and visit some famous cities and scenic spots (风景区).
Second, we will meet people with different interests and see strange and different things. We can get ideas of the conditions and customs of other people , taste different foods and local flavors (风味) if we like. In this way, we can understand how differently other people live.
Third, travel will not only help us to gain knowledge of geography and history and other knowledge, but will also help us keep healthy and make us less narrow minded.

You work hard to learn English. Do you know American kids are     to learn Chinese? About 50,000 American students now study Chinese. “Because of China’s fast growth, Chinese is more      than the other languages,” said Scott McGinnis, a Washington language expert.(专家)
For example, in 1999, only three Chicago schools had Chinese classes. This year more than 20 do. In many US cities, students take Chinese lessons at school or at weekends. But Chicago schools teach Chinese       the regular day. Last year China gave them 3000 textbooks because they had       a good job.
Although Chinese classes are becoming popular, it is one of the most difficult languages. It takes an English      about 1320 hours to become good at Chinese, but he needs only 480 hours for French, Spanish or Italian.
