China is a big country, and there is no simple answer to the question “When is the best time to visit China? ” There are two best times to visit China, depending on your preference.
October
Things to do: hike on the Great Wall, photography tour
Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Guilin,Jiuzhaigou, Chengdu
The best time to go to China is early autumn (October).
Most of China has warm temperatures, and the summer rains have stopped (apart from around HongKong and Sanya) so it’s pretty dry. The autumnn colours are also amazing. It is quiet at tourist attractions for most of the month, as the summer holiday travel crowds have gone. But try to avoid October 1 st -7 th, which is the Chinese National Day holiday, as attractions, transport and hotels are packed with Chinese tourists and prices go up a lot.
Late Spring (April to May)
Things to do: appreciate flowers, Li River cruise, ethnic festivals
Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Huangshan, GuiZhou, Zhangjiajie
The second-best time to travel to China is probably in April and May, when the flowers are in bloom and the temperatures are warming up. In late spring, temperatures across China are getting into the 20s (℃), except the extreme northwest and northeast. While the North of China is still dry, the summer rains have already begun in the South. This could actually improve the view in the form of mountain fog in mountainous areas like the Li River and the Yellow Mountains.
Ethnic festivals in GuiZhou are concentrated in April and May, such as the Sisters’ Meal Festival. If you are interested in Miao and Dong ethnic cultures, this is a good time to visit.
Travel prices are average: cheaper than June to October, but more expensive than the lower season from November to March.
1.Which time is best if you want to attend the ethnic festivals in GuiZhou?
A.April 25 th. B.June 17 th. C.October 1 st. D.November 9 th.
2.Which are the best places to visit in both October and late spring?
A.Beijing and Zhangjiajie. B.Shanghai and GuiZhou.
C.Xi’an and Guilin. D.Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou.
3.Why is late spring the best time to visit Huangshan?
A.Because the summer rains haven’t come yet.
B.Because the wet weather adds to its beauty.
C.Because there are several special festivals there.
D.Because the prices are the lowest of the year.

As it is known to us, fewer and fewer students do sports regularly, what makes them weak and easily tired.
There are many reasons about this. First of all, some of the students complain that they have too many homework, result in less time to take exercise. Beside, some of them think that it is very difficult for them to keep doing exercise, because it is very hard thing.
For lack of physical activities, many students were in poor health. I suggest that our school must take measures to encourage more students to take part in sports. For us students, no matter what busy we are, it is necessary to spare some time to do exercise.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
During a research experiment a marine(海洋) biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small fish into the tank.1.The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of clear fiberglass（玻璃纤维）into the tank, creating two separate parts. She then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass and a new set of small fish on the other.Again, the shark quickly attacked. This time, however, the shark hit the fiberglass divider and bounced off.2.Meanwhile, the small fish swam around unharmed in the second part. Eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark gave up.This experiment was repeated several dozen times over the next few weeks.3.Eventually the shark got tired of hitting the fiberglass divider and simply stopped attacking altogether.The marine biologist then removed the fiberglass divider, but the shark didn’t attack.4.So, they swam wherever they wished, free from harm.Like the shark in the story, many of us, after experiencing setbacks and failures, emotionally give up and stop trying.5.In other words, we continue to see a barrier in our heads, even when no ‘real’ barrier exists between where we are and where we want to go.
A.At the same time, the shark tried again and again.
B.We believe that because we were unsuccessful in the past, we will always be unsuccessful.
C.The shark was trained to believe a barrier existed between it and the small fish.
D.It kept repeating this behavior every few minutes fruitlessly.
E.We should keep on trying even if we meet obstacles.
F.Each time, the shark got less aggressive and made fewer attempts to attack the small fish.
G.As you would expect, the shark quickly swam around the tank, attacked and ate the smaller fish.
