Beijing is entering the best travel season—"golden autumn". The wind is blowing and the sun {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(照耀). The colorful city sights make autumn the most popular season to visit Beijing.

    "Beijing is an amazing city! I really want to show the special beauty of this country to my friends in{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(加拿大) ," said a tourist who was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(忙的) taking photos of the Summer Palace.

    In Beihai Park, two young {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(女士) were recording some ancient {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(石头) bridges with their DV.

    "Before the trip , what I knew about China was all from {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(报纸) and television. Actually, it's much {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(容易的) to travel in China than I thought.{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(在……期间) this trip, I've learnt that China is developing very fast," the girl with a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(帽子) named Lily said.

    She also said that her travel plan {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(包括) the Great Wall as well. "People here are friendly. They like communicating with foreigners and this makes my trip more pleasant," said the traveler.

    Around the world people have different traditions and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (风俗) when it comes to dining. It's important to respect(尊重) these customs.

    Not all countries {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (期望) you to leave a tip after a meal. In fact, in Japan it is seen as {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (不礼貌的). Employees in some Chinese restaurants are even not {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (允许) to get tips. However, other countries {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (像) France and Italy usually have a service charge.

    In Japan and China, you should {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (从不) stick chopsticks into rice. In India, utensils aren't always {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (提供). You should eat a meal with your {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (右边的) hand, as the left is considered dirty. Thai restaurants will often provide customers with a fork and spoon- they use the fork to push food onto the spoon rather than (而不是) eating {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (直接地) from it.

    People in many Western countries will never make a noise {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (在……期间) a meal, but in some places making a noise is a sign of appreciation(欣赏). In Japan, slurping soup and noodles straight from the bowl shows that you are enjoying your meal.
