• 11．China is a colorful country with amazing places and cultures.In this blog，we will introduce five most attractive places that you can't miss if you are planning to go for a travel in China!
     Beijing
     Beijing，the capital of China for over 850 years，is the first choice for many travellers.A perfect combination of classic elegance and modernity，it is the best Chinese destination to give you a better understanding of the country.You can wander around the Forbidden City to feel the dignity of the city；or you can walk along the criss-crossing hutongs and enjoy yourself in everyday local life.
     Xi'an
     If you want to feel the history of China over the past 1，000 years，you can go to Beijing；however，if you want to experience the 5，000 years' history of this ancient，oriental land，Xi'an is the best travel destination in China.As one of the four major capitals of ancient civilisation （together with Athens，Cairo，and Rome），Xi'an is the home of Chinese civilisation.The Silk Road starts from here，stretching through West China to the Mediterranean.
     Guilin
     Guilin，a peaceful city lying in the hilly south-western area of the country，is among the top Chinese destinations for its extraordinary natural scenery.The unique karst landscape with its four features，namely green hills，clear water，fantastic caves，and oddly-shaped rocks，makes it a famous tourist attraction.
     Chengdu
     Visiting the lovely giant pandas must be on everyone's to-do list when planning a tour of the best Chinese destinations.Many cities have zoos with space for pandas，but the best place to get close to them is Chengdu for sure!Visiting Chengdu is also a treat for food lovers.Jinli Street is a great place to have a taste of well-known Sichuan food.Besides，you can also enjoy the comfortable atmosphere.

• 12．It's a classic story：A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age，they play it throughout their childhood，and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it.Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight？For me，it was.
     I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago!This was huge commitment，so there must have been something worth holding on to，right？
     The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano.Although that's the sweeter tale，it's a bit more complicated.I struggled a lot with piano.Family and peers were，at least in my own head，constantly placed beside me in competition.I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly （破壞性地） to prove something to myself.The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt.Hate sprouted （滋生） when my self-criticism hit too hard.
     It's difficult to learn to love something that didn't originate from love.For a while，piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby.But somehow，love grew.It was deeply buried.But it was there，and by high school，it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training.I found the strength to hold on tighter，and dig further.I switched teachers，and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved.I learned pieces for myself，I composed for myself，and I found confidence not because I got "good enough，" but because I learned that anything I had was good enough.
  The love and hate I've had for the piano were both planted and grown.If you too have learned to hate something，remember that with commitment，it can be uprooted，and love can make a home in its place.There is always time.There is always room.
  
  （1）What does the author want to show by telling a classic story？

  
  A．The benefits of music.
  B．Kids' struggle in learning instruments.
  C．Kids' bittersweet childhood.
  D．The popularity of learning instruments.
  （2）What can we know about the author's experience of playing the piano？

  
  A．She finally quit formal training.
  B．She never treated it as her hobby.
  C．She was in pure love with music and piano.
  D．She once experienced great pressure from herself.
  （3）What helped the author find confidence？

  
  A．Her attitude.
  B．Her training.
  C．Her compromise.
  D．Her achievement.
  （4）What message is mainly delivered in the passage？

  
  A．Practice makes perfect.
  B．Love is a thing that grows.
  C．Content is better than riches.
  D．Chance favors the prepared mind.
