Every year in early April, thousands of people in China visit the tombs(墓) of their parents, grandparents and ancestors. It is Tomb Sweeping Day, the traditional Chinese festival to remember the dead.

Tomb Sweeping Day falls on April 4 this year. On the day, Chinese families will clean away the grass around the tombs. Then they burn paper money and put flowers and fruit in front of the tombs. They hope the dead can enjoy them and bring the family good luck.

However, it is not only the Chinese who remember the dead, people in other countries also have festivals for the dead.

In Japan, O-Bon festival is one of the most important festivals. It is held from Aug.13 to 16. It is also a holiday for a family reunion(团圆). During O-bon, Japanese people return to their hometown and visit their ancestors' tombs. They also believe their ancestors' spirits return home to be with their family. People danced a dance to welcome the spirits. On the last day of O-bon, they put paper lanterns in a river to say goodbye to the spirits.

In Russia, people remember their ancestors on the Day of Rejoicing(欣喜). It's usually in late April or early May. The name of this festival means birth and happiness. Russians believe that people shouldn't feel sad for the dead because death means birth in another world. On the day, Russian people draw beautiful pictures on eggs and put them in front of tombs.

Many people don't think that the number 13 is a lucky number. Many hotels do not have a 13th floor. The floors go from 12 to 14, and there is no number13. Some people will never sit at a table with 12 other people. They will tell someone to go or ask another person to sit with them.
No one really knows why people do not like the number 13. Perhaps one reason is that when people began to count, they used ten fingers and two hands. This made 12. They could not count more.
Some Christians (基督徒) say that 13 is not lucky because there were 13 people at a meal the day before Jesus (耶稣) was killed (被杀). In a story about the old Greek (希腊的) gods, 12 gods were asked to a meal but one more came. This made 13. It is why the god Balder, who was at the meal, was killed.

Tea has a long history of more than two thousand years. Its hometown is certainly China.

At first tea was considered as a kind of good thing that could make people awake so that they could study comfortably. Many knowledgeable people thought it was helpful for their study, because their minds could keep awake after drinking some tea. During Tang Dynasty, tea was sent to European countries first through the Silk Road. It was tea that made Chinese culture spread over in the Western countries. The first book about tea was The Classic of Teaby Lu Yu in Tang Dynasty. In the book, he described the tea culture.

However, the tea culture changed into a kind of new form. Many people could find something bad in it in Song Dynasty. Many people spent much time on it instead of thinking about the safety of their country. Between the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, many people paid more attention to tea. People thought of it as the symbol of the spirit.

Nowadays, tea has become the gentlest and the most comfortable drink in France. It has also become a helpful drink that is good for people's skin and health in England. Lots of Chinese look on tea as one of the most popular presents that they give to others during important festivals.

①In China, more and more people like taking a vacation in less-known tourism spots(旅游景点) instead of well-known ones. Because they think they can have a special and enjoyable time there. People call it" reverse(逆向) tourism".

②There are usually too many visitors on vacation at well-known tourism spots, especially during public holidays. In some well-known tourism spots, visitors can only move one metre every ten minutes. It makes visitors bored and tired.

③Besides crowds, taking a vacation at less-known tourism spots is also a good way to save money. The prices of food and hotel stays are usually high at well-known tourism spots. Popular tourism spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays. But at less-known ones, prices are much lower.

④Less-known tourism spots can bring the feeling of freshness. Many visitors might not go to these less-known tourism spots before. Taking a vacation there can help them enjoy the scenery that they haven't seen before. Some visitors are simply looking to take a rest somewhere quiet for a couple of days, which is a good way to spend the vacation.

⑤The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing. It means that visitors now have more choices, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. And it can help people living in less-known tourism spots to earn more money. Also, it can help the well-known tourism spots to improve themselves. It is believed that reverse tourism will be even more popular in the near future.
