When visiting Beijing, the Palace Museum is a must-see for many people.
Last year, the museum received 14.2 million visitors, which is twice the number of visitors in 2002. This year it is expected to increase by 10 percent. Compared with other popular museums around the world, the number of visitors at the Palace Museum is very high. Last year the Louvre(罗浮宫) in Paris welcomed 8.8 million visitors and the British Museum in London received 5.8 million.
A large number of visitors can bring a lot of money from ticket sales. But there are also worries that people will do demage(破坏) to relics(文物) and old buildings.
To solve the problem, some people suggested taking cultural objects out of the Palace Museum. In this way, visitors coming for ancient buildings and cultural objects will go to different places. “It is a sign of progress. Letting more people see these treasures is more important than keeping them in their original(原始的) place,” said Song Xiangguang, a professor at Peking University.
However, Shan Jixiang, director of the Palace Museum, doesn’t agree on this idea. He thinks that the most important thing in protecting the Palace Museum is to keep it complete. “The 1.8 million cultural relics and the historical buildings are two key parts of the museum. They can’t be separated.” he said.
Shan said that they are planning to increase the space that is open to the public. This will not only feed visitors’ curiosity(好奇), but also spread them out so they are not putting too much pressure on one area.
Shan also wanted to set up an appointment system. “ If visitors make an appointment before they come, we can make better and different visiting routes(路线) for them.” Shan said.

There was a man who had four sons．He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly．So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns．
The first son went in the winter，the second in the spring，the third insummer，and the youngest son in the fall．
When they had all gone and come back，he called them together to describe what they had seen．
The first son said that the tree was ugly．The second son said no； it was covered with green leaves，and full of hope．The third son disagreed．He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful，it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen．The last son disagreed with all of them，he said there was lots of fruit in the tree，full of life and harvest（收获）．
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right，but they had each seen only one season in the tree's life．He told them"You cannot judge a tree，or a person by only one season and its true nature﹣the pleasure，joy，and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end，when all the seasons are up．"
If you give up when it's winter，you will miss the promise of your spring，the beauty of your summer，harvest of your fall．Don't let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest．

Fraser Island is in Queensland，Australia，about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane．It is about 120kilometers long and 240 kilometers wide．It is a very important island because it is completely made of sand．In fact，it is the largest sand island in the world．There is no airport on the island，but there is a long beach along the east coast．Planes arrive and leave from here．
The sand makes unusual shapes．There are hills made of sand called sandblows．Nothing grows on them．They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island，getting bigger and bigger．At other places on the island，such as Rainbow Gorge，The Cathedrals and Red Canyon，the sandy rocks have different colors．Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown，like coffee．
Surprisingly，the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals．There are dark forests﹣eucalyptus woods，beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes．There are many kinds of birds，like owls and curlews．There are many animals there，too，such as crocodiles，flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes．
About 500，000 people visit the island every year to see the island's beauty and nature．People enjoy camping and hiking（徒步）there．Unluckily，the visitors create problems．They damage plants and frighten animals．Their sun cream（防晒霜）makes the water dirty．So it is necessary to manage the visitors．For example，people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the lakes，and they need official papers to drive there．

I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English．So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there．But after having three days of hamburgers，sandwiches and potatoes，I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food，especially my favorite﹣huo guo．You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students．On the way to the canteen，I seemed to smell huo guo in the air．
To my surprise，when I stepped into the room，I didn't see any sign of huo guo．Where was it？
With many questions in my head，I sat down to have the free meal．After talking with an English girl，I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot．Chinese huo guo is written in two words﹣hot pot； and hotpot，one word，is a traditional English dish．
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion．On the top are pieces of potatoes．People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat．It takes very little effort to prepare．You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive．
Hotpot doesn't taste bad．However，I still miss huo guo﹣hot pot，two words!
