Beijing is an old capital city developing at a fast pace. The Forbidden City is the ideal place for you to begin your exploration of Beijing by opening its mysterious (神奇的) face. With over 9 ,000 rooms and over 250 acres (英亩) ，this large palace building was built between 1406 and 1420. The Forbidden City burned down and was rebuilt,sacked and renovated (修复) for times,so most of the architecture (建筑) you can see today dates back to the 18th century in the Qing Dynasty. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as you have to walk a lot!

There is a Starbucks in the palace in case you need some coffee to recharge you. I highly recommend you to have a guide. It is quite helpful to have a guide escort (护送) you and tell the stories behind the palace. If you are a non-group tourist,I suggest you rent a multilingual guide recorder either at Meridian Gate (southern gate of Forbidden City) or the Gate of Divine Prowess (Northern gate of Forbidden City) and return it when you finish your Forbidden City Tour. Remember the open hours from 8： 30 to 17： 00.

We often ask for information or help,especially when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English ,“Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are correct English,but the first could sound rude. It's important to use correct language,but sometimes we need to learn how to be polite.

In English,just like in Chinese,we change the way we speak when talking with different people. If you say to your teacher ,“Where is my book?” This will sound rude. But if you say ,“Excuse me,Mr West. Do you know where my book is?^ Your question will sound much more polite. Of course it might be all right to say “Where is my book?” in some situations,perhaps with people you know well.

“Peter,give me your pen. ”can sound rude in English. Usually in English,polite questions are longer such as “Could you please. or “Can I ask. It sounds more polite to say. “Peter,could you please give me your pen?,? Sometimes we might even need to spend some time when you stop a stranger in the street. We might first say ,“Excuse me. Can you help me?” or “I'm sorry to trouble you but. .. ”before asking them for help.

It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct (直接) . However,if you want to be a polite person,you should learn about language etiquette (规矩) . It is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English,or any other language you wish to speak.(北京市朝阳区)

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper----a little bird called a honey guide.

The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.

Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

1.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?

A. It's small in size.

B. It's hidden in trees.

C. It's covered with wax.

D. It's hard to recognize.

2.What do the underlined words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A bee. B. A bird.

C. A honey seeker. D. A beekeeper.

3.The honey guide is special in the way .

A. it gets its food B. it goes to church

C. it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees' nests

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey

C. Beekeeping in Africa D. Honey-Lover's Helper
