Where did you go this summer vacation? Perhaps you have visited some top universities in China or outside China. If so, you are not alone.
This summer, groups of tourists from all over China traveled to famous universities like Tsinghua University (大学), Peking University and Fudan University. Tsinghua University received 6,000 visitors a day, said China Youth Daily. Most of them were high school students with their parents.
With more and more visitors, it took many hours to come into the universities.
“Tsinghua University opens to the public at 8:30 am,” a guard (保安) told China Youth Daily. “However, many people start to wait in line at 3 to 4 am because people who come at 6 o’clock may be too late and can only come in in the afternoon.”
This is not only for Chinese universities. Oxford in Britain and Harvard in the United States are facing the same problem. In summer, bicycle paths of Oxford were full of tour buses, which were parked illegally (违规). The pavements (人行道) were also full of Chinese tourists.
“University tourism” is popular because of the long histories and unique cultures（独特的文化）of these famous universities. More importantly, many parents hope their children will go into a top university in the future, said People’s Daily.
“I brought my son here to see what top universities look like,” a mother of a 14-year-old boy told China Daily. She hoped her son could learn something from the trip and study harder after that.

David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister’s books to the library on his way to Jim’s house.
In his eyes, books and summertime just don’t go together. He thought he read a lot during the school year. And he never went into a library. Today he’d just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.
David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he’d be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked—in a library.
David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn’t find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I’m locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.
He was surprised to find that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn’t seem to be such a terrible thing.
