Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life.   1  these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop   2 (help) it grow”, is based on the following story.
It is said that a short—tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help   3 rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about   4  day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea   5  he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.
He was very tired  6  doing this for a whole day,   7  he felt very happy since the crop did “grow”  8 (high).
His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their   9 (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often   10 (result) in the contrary to our intention.

Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before .We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same questions in advance of trip. So here I will give you some travel tips.
What should I wear?
If you’re lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it——the desert gets rather cold at night. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you’re going to Phoenix of Vegas in August. For the ladies, bathing suits are normal if there’s a pool where you are going, but leave the string bikini at home –it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you are planning on visiting any mosques（清真寺）or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbow（肘部）, and no shorts for men or women in those areas.
What special things do I need to pack?
One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head , and your body temperature will feel like it’s dropped 10 or 15 degrees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries.
How do I communicate with home?
Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on you phone, you should be able to use it-AT＆T and Sprint both work internationally for sure, but make sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile , but for most people these days a cell phone is fine.
What medical preparation do I need?
In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called “Pharoah ’s Revenge. ” The thing that gets rid of pharoah’s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine, and is available at every drugstore for ＄1 a box . DON’T    drink local water. DO drink bottled water, avoid the skins of fresh vegetables, and you’ll be fine.
小題1: What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?
A．String bikinisB．Bathing suits
C．Long-sleeve clothesD．Shorts.
小題2:What’s the use of an Evian Mister?
A．To relieve your thirst.B．To cool yourself down.
C．To prevent sunburns.D．To drive away insects.
小題3:What information is provided about distance communication?
A．A cell phone is enough for most people.
B．AT＆T and Sprint offer free service in Egypt.
C．A satellite phone doesn’t work in Mid-Egypt.
D．Internet cafes are only available in big cities.
小題4:What does “Pharoah ‘s Revenge” probably refer to in the last paragraph?
A．A battleB．A tale
C．A diseaseD．A plant
小題5:The purpose of this passage is to      .
A．describe a journey to Egypt to the tourists
B．offer some practical tips on traveling in Egypt
C．warn readers of the awful insects in Egypt
D．a(chǎn)ppeal to more possible tourists to the journey
