Liverpool, my hometown, is a special city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage(遺產(chǎn))Site.

I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist （薄霧）, Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.

As if stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries  than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, madding the city a place of wonder.

As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub （酒館）. It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.

Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.

1.Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by________

A. its charming banks

B. its famous museums

C. its wonderful palaces

D. its attractive buildings

2.Liverpool has important cultural role because __________.

A. it has the best collections of Victorian paintings

D. a pub is a perfect choice for visitors to complete their journey

Do the Chinese people text in English words and Chinese characters? Of course most people in China text in our native language, which is the Chinese language. But I guess the reason that people ask this question is that they couldn’t imagine how people type thousand of Chinese characters with only 26 letters. As a matter of the fact, it’s only a small piece of cake. There are such many methods to type Chinese on computers and phones, of which the more popular is the pinyin system. Every child in China learn pinyin to pronounce Chinese words. It’s similar the International Phonetic Alphabet. With 26 letters, anyone can type Chinese. It is no problem trouble the Chinese people now.

Here are four tips to enjoy a Swedish summer.

Stay in a cottage

There are nearly 600,000 summer houses in Sweden. And more than 50% of the Swedes have access to them through family or friends. A few of the most popular summer house destinations for Swedes can be found in the provinces of Smaland, Skane and Oland. If you want to spend your summer like a Swede, make sure to spend a few nights in a cottage.

Follow the trail to Gotland

The island of Gotland is where half of Stockholmers go during the summer. In the medieval (中世紀(jì))city of Visby, ancient streets and city walls meet modern restaurants, cafes and shops. A short ferry ride northeast of Gotland lies the smaller island of Faro, where director Ingmar Bergman used to live. Both Faro and Gotland are famous for their many flea markets.

Check out a music festival

Swedish summer is a festival season. Way Out West, or WOW, is the most popular music festival with about 30,000 visitors. It is usually held in Gothenburg park of Slottsskogen in August. It has been prized as the Most Innovative Festival by MTV and, since 2012, WOW has only served vegetarian food(素食). The decision, praised by Jamie Oliver, has reduced the festival’s carbon footprint by 20%. WOW is also Europe’s biggest combined music and film festival.

Pick blueberries in Dalarna

Dalarna is perhaps the most Swedish province, with its red wooden cottages, deep green forests and Dala horses. This region is perfect for making yourself involved in traditional Midsummer celebrations or listening to Swedish folk music. When you need a break from all of this loud Swedishness, head into the woods for some quiet blueberry picking.

1.What should you do if you want to spend your summer vacation like a Swede?
