The Terracotta Warriors, one of the eight wonders of the world, have enjoyed international fame. Located in Xi'an in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, they are warriors of the first-ever emperor in1China or Qin Shi Huang in Chinese, Ying Zheng.

Even though I knew they are life-sized sculptures (雕塑), I was still2 when I saw them. I was lucky enough to3 the pit (深坑) and take a close look at them for the first time.

They were made around 2, 200 years ago. When I first got down into the pit, the sculptures scared me4some of them lacked body parts.

I was told that the Terracotta Warriors are not easy to preserve (保存;保护) for over thousands of years. But to my surprise, they were actually5 in color when they were first discovered. However, the color fell off6after being exposed in the air.

The difficulty of preservation is one of the reasons why they have stopped7out other pits. Although the Terracotta Warriors are breathtaking, they are only part of the Mausoleum (陵墓) of the First Qin Emperor.

Shen Wenxi, an expert and museum librarian of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told me there's an even grander area8 man-made mountains, rivers and seas inside the emperor' s underground palace.

However, there is no plan to dig them until there are perfect9of protecting and preserving them. Experts are still busy restoring the relics (修复文物) that were10in the 1970s.

Brighton, a famous holiday town next to the sea in Sussex, on the southeast coast of England, is only 50 minutes on a fast train from London. The town usually has about 134, 000 citizens（市民）, but it gets a lot of tourists all year round. 

A long time ago, Brighton was a quiet fishing town. Later on, when swimming in the sea became popular, many rich and important people, as well as musicians and writers began to arrive and Brighton became a popular seaside holiday town. 

Prince George, the future King George IV, first visited Brighton in 

1783. He liked it and spent part of the summer there because of his poor health. He asked John Nash, a very famous builder, to build him a palace. It took about 40 years to build the palace and it cost 500, 000 pounds! Now more than 400, 000 tourists visit Brighton and the palace—the Royal Pavilion every year. 

The Royal Pavilion, with its beautiful rooms and museums, is not the only interesting thing in Brighton. In May, this friendly and colourful town holds an international（国际的）festival with many different kinds of music, dance and theatre. 

People in the UK Say Sorry for Many Uses

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}lf a person burps（打嗝) at the dinner table or runs into someone, you'll probably hear "Oops, I'm so sorry!"

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Us scientist Robert Trivers gave a possible answer in his studies. He said that we are polite because we need to belong and be included in society to live. So we be have well, help each other and say sorry, hoping that we can be treated well and be safe.

 Wang Yan is a student at Northeastern University(东北大学) in Shenyang. She likes to spend her weekends exploring the narrow streets of the city. She is especially looking for unknown bookstores. In these bookstores, she can relax and read. "Each store is special," she said. "We can enjoy the beauty of the city and read a good book."

 Since the beginning of this year, "City Read" has become a popular topic. Many young people share their favourite bookstores and talk about their experiences of finding"reading freedom" near home.

 In Shenyang, there are many private bookstores hidden away in the small streets. Some are quite famous. The 101-year-old Gede Bookstore has a grand style. Whoop Book & Cafe, a former boiler room(锅炉房), suggests new books every week. And at the When Paper Talk Bookstore, new books are never sealed (塑封).

"These bookstores are very close to my place. They feel like home. I love sitting there. It's just wonderful," said Zhang Qi from Shenyang.

 In Beijing, 24-hour libraries are very popular. Their convenient locations and all-day service attract many young people.

"City Read" has become popular because public(公共的) facilities are much better than before. In Shenyang, for example, old buildings have been turned into cultural spaces. Across China, "10-and 15-minute reading circles" are being set up to improve public reading facilities.
