These days, more and more people like the "city walk" around China. The city walk is a kind of city tour coming from the UK. It means tourists follow a planned route（路线）working deeply on the city's history and culture. During the traditional kind of travel, people need to follow a group of people. But city walk routes are special for every tourist. People probably choose a route on their own and move on foot without a purpose（目的）. They can also talk with locals（当地人）and taste local food on their way.
City walkers may be tourists from other places or local young people. For tourists, by taking part in a city walk, they can learn the city's history and culture. For the local young people, they may spend weekends knowing more about their living places. And they even share their routes and places online. So more people get interested in their cities and come to visit them.
Now the city walk is very hot. However, we also find that to make money, some travel agencies（旅行社）may make some routes without understanding the culture and history of a city. That will make tourists lose interest in the city walk. What's more, many young people spend much time taking photos to just show themselves online.
①The price is too high.
②Some routes are made without culture and history.
③Some people do it just for fun.
④ The local food tastes too bad.

If someone says you are smart, what do they mean? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? The answer is not as easy as you might think. That's because the word "smart" has many meanings.
For example, someone could say you look smart. That means they like what you are wearing. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} For example, if you fall off your bike and hurt your leg, you might shout, "Ouch, that smarts!" But the most common meaning of "smart" is to be very clever. So when your friends get good grades at school, we can call them "smart".
Being smart, however, goes beyond (超出……的范围) the classroom. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
