Question

【题目】

In which Chinese city do you think people live a very happy life? Well, Chengdu is at the top of the 2015 rankings（排名）for China's Happiest Cities. This is the second time that the capital city of Sichuan is chosen.

So what has made Chengdu such a happy place to 1ive? As People's Daily said, "Part of the reason is the slow-paced(慢节奏的) life that many people in Chengdu live."

To find the pleasures of the Chengdu life, the first thing you should try is the food. Chengdu cooking style is famous for the use of the Sichuanese peppercorn(花椒) and hot chillies (辣椒). "Nothing is more important to Chengdu people than food," said Du Li, a professor."They love to find small restaurants that have great tastes." There are around 40,000 restaurants in Chengdu, the highest density（密度）of restaurants of any city in the world.

Another important part of Chengdu life is the teahouses. Found everywhere in the city, the teahouses are much more than just a place to drink tea. Teahouses are places to meet with friends, listen to Chuanju (Sichuan opera), and most importantly, play mahjong（麻将）. As a local saying goes, "If you cannot find someone, he or she is playing mahjong, or on their way to play mahjong."
