Dear Dream Travel,

My family and I hope to take a trip this winter somewhere in southern China. We want to go somewhere that is warmer and   61   (更干凈) than our city. It would be better if it has some fantastic    62   (風(fēng)景). And we’d like to go on a train or a   63   (飛機(jī)), but we don’t want to drive our car because that will make us too     64   (累的). We enjoy hiking, camping,     65   (釣魚) ，swimming, visiting museums and zoos, meeting people, and seeing new places that are   66   (令人興奮的). Of course, some places   67   (靠近) the sea is great. We love great food and   68  (音樂). So we think it’s better to go to places where there are good restaurants and concerts. I think I might want a tour guide so I don’t get lost.

We’d like to be away for    69   (七) days. Can you kindly offer us some suggestions for our vacation spots? Please tell me how much each place will cost for our vacation.

Thank you very much!

                                                Best ____70___(祝愿)

Linda

Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is *chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only *superficial. Besides, in some nice restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the west, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone *shares. If you are being invited to a formal dinner and particularly if the *host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different kinds of dishes.

In China, the meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main *courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong restaurants) to be followed by *staple foods that are from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have staple food at last or have none of them at all.

Perhaps one of the things that surprise a western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always public chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. But if you do not eat it, it is OK to leave the food in the plate.

People in China *tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is eaten up. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat!

     A special kind of *flu (H1N1) is now *spreading in many countries, including China. So it’s important to know how to stop catching flu and cold. Here are some suggestions on how to keep away from flu.

1. Wash your hands often. The flu, as with colds, is spread from person to person. The way these *germs are spread is not by breathing them, but by picking them up on our hands and spreading them to our face where they can get into your body. So please remember: wash your hands often and don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.

2. Get enough sleep. Enough sleep is important to the health. Enough sleep will make you energetic and active again. More important than how long you sleep is when you sleep. Studies show that the best spring or summer bedtime is between 9 and 10 p.m. and the best autumn or winter bedtime is between 8 and 9 p.m.

3. Drink water every day. Water helps change food into energy. Water also helps clean out your body. After a night’s sleep, your body really needs water. So it’s important to drink some water after you get up every morning. And drinking enough water could keep your balance of salt. But don't drink water much more than you would, or should.

4. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Scientists have found out that what people eat affects their health. They advise people to keep a balanced diet and that is to say, you should eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat such as beef and pork. You should also eat less food that is high in fat, like French fries or cookies.

5. Do more exercise. It is surely necessary to take some exercise every day. Studies show that getting lots of exercise makes the heart healthier. That’s why more and more people are becoming active in all kinds of sports and exercise. Through sports and exercise, people become healthier and stronger. So in the morning, you can get up early, go outdoors, breathe the fresh air, and do exercises. When we exercise, our body produces special chemicals that give us energy, and exercise also helps improve our body’s *ability to fight disease.

LIU Qian is a *magician from Taiwan. For the CCTV Spring Festival *Gala he put on two *magic shows. They were very successful. Now many people are mad about magic. We all want to know how to do a *trick!

Liu was a shy boy who was born in 1976. When Liu was 7, he saw a coin trick in a big store. At that moment Liu decided to learn magic. But he didn't go to any magic school. He learned all by himself. He worked really hard at it and he practiced hard to improve his skills. He spent lots of time studying how to play tricks. When he was 8 years old, he could do coin and card tricks really well. Then one day he was able to put on a show for his class. The tricks looked so difficult to his classmates, but Liu thought they didn't need many skills. Once he did one for his classmates. They were so surprised that they didn’t believe it! And then Liu told them how to do the trick. After that, all his classmates spoke highly of him. They all think he was so great. At the age of 12, Liu won an international prize for tricks. This is his first prize for magic. As a super magician, Liu still practices hard today. He may spend three years working on a new show. He wrote a book about tricks and it is one of the best sellers in China.
