Would you like to go to Beijing, our capital? It has a long way from Guangzhou.

It’s 2,313 kilometers from Beijing to Guangzhou. The city of Kunming is 2,216 kilometers away from Guangzhou. It’s always warm there. But it’s very hot in summer in Wuhan. It’s l,084 kilometers from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Changsha is near Guangzhou. It’s 726 kilometers from Changsha to Guangzhou. Do you know which city is the biggest in China? It’s Shanghai. It’s 1,811 kilometers from Guangzhou to Shanghai.

If you travel by air, you’ll find it very interesting and fast enough to fly from Guangzhou to Beijing. It only takes you about four hours and you’ll get there easily, safely and unhurriedly(从容不迫地).

My favourite restaurant is called 'Annablella's cafe'. It is a small restaurant serving(供应) Western food. It is in a city called Bristol. It is difficult to find because it is behind a very tall building. Only local people eat at this restaurant, and visitors can never find it! I think the food at the restaurant is the best in the whole country.

I like to go to this restaurant every two weeks. The waiters know me very well now. They are my friends. They know what my favourite drink is, so when I arrive, there is always a bottle of coke on the table. The menu changes every week so there is always something different to eat. My favourite meat is chicken, so I always order something with chicken in it. For dessert(甜食), I usually have apple pie with custard or chocolate cake. Delicious!

Sometimes I go to this restaurant for breakfast. I have a typical(典型的) English breakfast： eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes and bread. The breakfast is delicious, but I like to eat at this restaurant at dinnertime better.

4.What can we know from the passage?

On a Friday night, a poor young violinist was playing his violin at the entrance(入口)of the subway station. The music was so great that people put some money into his hat.

The next day, the violinist came to the entrance again. He put down his hat as usual. Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some words on it： "A George Sang has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim（认领）it.”After a while a man named George Sang ran here quickly and got back his important thing.

The important thing was a lottery ticket（彩票）.Sang bought it and won a prize of $500,000. But when he gave$50 to the violinist for his wonderful music, he threw the lottery ticket, too. The violinist was a college student. That morning, he was going to Vienna for his education. However, when he found the ticket, he cancelled the flight and returned to the entrance.

He said, "Although I don't have much money, I live happily. If I lose honesty（诚实）, I won't be happy forever."
