Teen's 'wuxia' world
While many teenagers are struggling （奋斗） to write articles for their exams，Jin Minzhe has already written a whole book.
The 15﹣year﹣old boy from Suzhou，Jiangsu，recently published （出版） his wuxia novel Ji Chi Jing Hong He Shan Yi（《几尺惊鸿河山意》）.The story is set during the Southern and Northern Dynasties （420﹣581）.A young man lays down his pen and takes up a sword to fight for his homeland.
"I love Jin Yong's wuxia stories，" Jin told Gusu Evening News. "I also love history.In the seventh grade，I traveled to Wuzhen，where Prince Xiao Tong from the Liang Dynasty once lived，and I was inspired（受启发） to write a wuxia story based on（以……为根据） him."
In a video interview with Xinhua，Jin looks a little bit shy.But when it comes to writing，he becomes someone bold.He shared a lot of his writing experiences actively. "I wrote around the clock as my ideas kept coming.After about 20 days，I finished more than 300 pages，" Jin said.
Jin's writing skills might come from his love of reading.In primary school，he read four books every week.In junior high school，where schoolwork is heavy，he still reads three to four books a month. ？
"My father loves history，so we often talk about our reading experiences and share our different opinions，" Jin said. "My mom takes me to bookstores and writers' lectures.She also took care of me when I wrote the book，reminding me not to stay up too late."
Jin said literature（文学） gave him a sense of calm and freedom. "Nothing can stop me from reading and writing，" he said.

（2）What is Jin's novel about？
（3）What did Jin get from his trip to Wuzhen？

In high school and college，you may be encouraged to travel or study abroad.Perhaps you are too busy with your schoolwork to seriously consider these chances.I encourage traveling at a young age. （1） .
As young people，most of us live with mom and dad.Our community knows us well，too.The idea of getting out of this comfort zone（舒适区） can be scary （可怕的）.
（2） In our daily life，we know well how to act and respond（答复）to people.But how about being in a new place，with strangers who hold different values？It can be uncomfortable at first.But once you work out that you can connect with people in spite of（尽管）differences，you become smarter and more confident.You should learn to face this discomfort.It will help you to grow.
By traveling widely，you will also develop cultural sensitivity（敏感性）.Being culturally sensitive is important.And it is not enough to just know， "People from that country are like this."
When I was in Spain，for example，I found people there took a two﹣hour break in the middle of their workday.Many foreigners consider the Spanish people lazy. （3） To the Spanish people，eating together as a family is more important than anything else.Cultural sensitivity will help you with your communication on both business and personal levels.
Finally，I'd like to mention that traveling abroad will be a wonderful way to learn a new language.Being in a new language﹣learning environment，you will have to use the language.（4）
| A.It helps you to learn a new language as well. B.In fact，the Spanish people are always like this. C.However，one learns the most in strange situations. D.The earlier you travel widely，the more you can learn. E.In this way，you will improve your language skills better. F.Few of them know people there place great value on family time. |
