    New York is an interesting and lively city. If you come to New York for the first time, here is some information that you may find helpful.

    Public transport

    You can come to New York by plane. There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or taxi to any place in New York. In New York there's good bus and underground service. If you are planning to take the underground a lot, you can buy an underground ticket for ten journeys because it's cheaper. Sometimes you don't have to use public transport; you can walk to many places, like the Empire State Building, Fifth Avenue and Central Park. The New York taxi is also part of the city experience, so try it even once during your stay in the city!

    Hotels

    There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is The Plaza on Fifth Avenue, but you don't have to pay a lot to stay in the city. There are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA near Central Park is great for young people.

For thousands of years, humans have explored the earth. Nowadays, we are exploring space. Many astronomers (天 文 学 家) are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking?

First, astronomers look for a star(恒星),because our own earth moves around a star. More importantly, it is the correct distance(距离) from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near the star or too far away.

Then, if the planet is in a good position(位置), astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock. Water is important because all life needs water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock is also important, because there is often water under the rock.

After many years of scrutinising, astronomers have found a planet that is similar to the earth. It's Gliese 581g and it's near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock. Gliese 581g is bigger than the earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 earth days instead of 365. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new earth.

There are many humanistic monuments (人文古迹) and natural scenic spots (景点 ) in textbooks. Children are always interested in them, and they want to go there in person. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} This kind of tour allows parents and children to deepen their understanding of the scenes (场景) mentioned in the textbooks. 

Many families have taken part in the textbook tour. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} They can understand the cultural background and experience the historical period in the textbooks. For example, in Fuzhou, parents and children can watch lively shows and visit the museums to learn more about the famous writer Tang Xianzu in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, they can learn about the local customs. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

The textbook tour is a connection between "reading thousands of books" and "travelling thousands of miles". {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Besides, the textbook tour further increases children's pride in them other land. It also helps them learn about the excellent traditional culture of China. 

The rise of the textbook tour is a great chance for the connection between culture and tourism. For example, the Wen chuan government holds some activities on the birthday of Dayu. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} This spreads local culture and provides an unforgettable experience for tourists. As the text book tour becomes a new fashion, the government should offer warm services to achieve a win-win situation for both scenic spots and tourists.

A. This further makes their journey colorful.

B. That's why the textbook tour has become popular these days.

F. Textbooks can broaden my horizons.

Taipan Village is a small, mountainous community in the Guizhou Province of Southwestern China. What's special is that this village, home to fewer than 1,200 residents, has become a hot topic on the internet due to its vibrant(活力满满的) basketball competition, often referred to as "Cun BA. "

Since 2020, local farmers in the area have found a fun way to celebrate their successful harvests(丰收): basketball games. The rules of "Cun BA" require that players be local male farmers aged 18 to 35. This means you'll see people with all kinds of day jobs like raising cows, growing wheat, and selling vegetables competing on different teams. These farmers started their own basketball league, comprising a total of 198 teams.

These games attract a big crowd. Many basketball fans travel long distances just to watch and cheer for their favorite teams. Even people originally from Taipan Village who now work elsewhere make the trip back home to enjoy the games. Over the 45-day competition period, Taipan Village welcomes more than 500,000 visitors, which creates new opportunities for sports and tourism. On the first day of the tournament(联赛), they made over 300,000 yuan in sales from goods like mascot toys, basketballs, and team uniforms. It's clear that basketball is making a big difference in improving this once-poor village.

When talking about the Chinese food going abroad, you can't forget River Snail Rice Noodles, or Luosifen. It is one of the most popular snacks in Liuzhou City, Guangxi province. The dish is famous for its strong smell. Do you know how to make Luosifen?

The first step is to prepare some rice noodles, river snails and different kinds of ingredients. To make it, firstly, people should soak (浸泡) the rice noodles in water until they are soft. After that, wash the river snails and make soup. When the rice noodles and the soup are ready, then boil rice noodles with sour bamboo shoots (酸竹笋), dried tofu skin, fresh vegetables and peanuts in river snail soup. The taste mostly comes from the sour bamboo shoots. This ingredient gives Luosifen its unique taste. "Without the sour bamboo shoots, Luosifen will lose its soul (灵魂)," some people say.

In the 1970s, Luosifen was just a cheap street snack in Liuzhou. People outside of the city knew little about it. It became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Guangxi in 2008. Four years later, a popular Chinese food show, A Bite ofChina, made Luosifen known to the public and then it became a household name, from then on, Luosifen has become popular around China.

Now more and more Luosifen restaurants are opened not only in the big cities in China, but also in many foreign(外国的) countries like the US, Australia, Germany and so on. People can also buy instant (速食的) Luosifen online on apps such as Taobao and TikTok, You can enjoy Luosifen wherever you like.
