　　More Shanghai people are renting cars to travel over the coming Spring Festival, eastday．com reported today．

　　Most cars in large local car-rental companies such as Yongda, Anji and Dazhong are leased(＝rented)so far with the Buick Sport Utility Vehicle(SUV)in high demand．

　　Santana and Jetta used to be the most popular car models rented by Shanghai people for travel, while the high-end Buick models have generated(＝caused)great interest among locals renting cars this year．However, the rent on a Buick GL or GS model is between 650 yuan and 750 yuan a day, nearly double those of the Santana and Jetta cars．

　　Compared with Santana, Buick looks better, has greater capabilities and is safer and more comfortable, said a car leaser．“I'don’t mind paying a higher cost for a Buick to enjoy the traditional holiday,” he said．

　　SUV cars are very popular in the car renting market, according to some car-rental firms．

　　“All the 31 Buick GL8 SUV cars were leased out several days ago,” said an employee with the Shanghai Yongda Car Rental Company．

　　Local people prefer to go traveling with a group of friends, so SUV cars are a better choice, said an industry analyst(分析家)．Moreover, SUV cars are safer on rugged and rough roads, the analyst said．

　　According to the data(数据), most people rented cars of seven days, a lesser number rented them for two or three days．

　　For many people, one of the pleasures of traveling abroad is buying the arts and crafts of a foreign culture. English tourists in Hong Kong, for example, like Chinese arts and crafts because they think they are exotic. Even things as common as a pair of chopsticks a mah-jong set or a name stamp, are popular items for visiting tourists. They are typical examples of Chinese culture which make attractive ornaments(装饰品) for the home and good presents for friends.

　　So when Philip Wong and his sister Anna left school and tock over their father's tourist shop in Tsim Sha Tsui, they were not surprised to find that many tourists were interested in these small, relatively inexpensive goods. “Even so, we found that business was not really very good. We had a lot of competition and only made a small profit on most of the items we sold,” said Philip. “Then Anna had the idea of selling arts and crafts from other countries as well!”

　　The pair went on a shopping trip around the Southeast Asian area, making contracts in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. They bought jewelry, clothes and art work in all these countries and displayed them in a special section of their shop. They were surprised to see how popular these goods were-not only among foreign tourists, but also with local people.

　　Now they have opened a new shop in North Point which sells goods from many more countries, including some in European and South America. The shop is specially with Hong Kong people such as businessmen, who travel abroad a lot, but never have the time to buy gifts while they are away. “Actually some of our customers just want to impress their friends by pretending that they have actually visited the country,” added Anna with a smile.

1．What does the underlined word “exotic” in the first paragraph mean?

[　　]

A．Strange and unusual.

B．Common and popular.

C．Pretty and attractive.

D．Strange but usual.

2．Why did Philip say they cold make little money from their business?

[　　]

A．Because there are too many traders in their business field.

B．Because their goods are not good enough.

C．Because they are not allowed to get high profit.

D．Because they don't know how to make a big profit from their business.

3．Who were surprised at the goods in a special section of the shop?

[　　]

A．Philip and Anna.

B．Tourists.

C．Philip, Anna and local residents.

D．Both travelers abroad and people in Hong Kong.

4．What do you think of some trade-men who buy some articles in Hong Kong?

[　　]

A．They want to make themselves understand that they've visited the country.

B．They have not got enough money to get them in the country they are visiting.

C．They find no time to get them while they are visiting the country.

D．Though they travel a lot, they never think they should buy some of the articles at all.

The Taj Mahal is considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and the finest example of the late style of Indian architecture (建筑). It is at Agra in northern India. It lies beside the River Jumna in the middle of gardens with quiet pools.

　　The Taj Mahal was built by the Mogul emperor (皇帝) Shah Jehan, who ruled India in the seventeenth century. It is in memory of his favorite wife, Arjumand Banu Bagam, known as Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631. The building, which was completed between 1632 and 1638, was designed by a local Muslim architect (建筑师), Ustad Ahmad Lahori. The whole building, with gardens and gateway structures, was completed in 1643. The Taj Mahal stands at one end of the garden tomb with marble (大理石) path. The room is softly lighted by the light that passes through double screens of carved marble set high in the walls. The building now is kept in good condition.

　　The Taj Mahal took 22 years to build. Shah Jehan planned a similar building, but in black instead of white, to lie on the other side of the river. But before it could be built, Shah Jehan was imprisoned (监禁) by his son and buried next to his wife in the Taj Mahal.

Winter-swimming has become popular in Beijing. Three years ago, few people would go swimming in the icy waters. But now there is a Winter-swimming Enthusiasts’ Club（冬泳爱好者协会）and it has more than 2 000 members. The oldest is 84 years old and the youngest is only 7. The members are from all walks of life. They may be workers, peasants, soldiers, teachers, students…

Though it is now the coldest part of the season and the water temperature in the city’s lakes is around 0℃, many winter-swimmers still swim in the icy waters, even when it is snowing. They enjoy themselves in the lake, while the people by the side of the lake are wearing heavy clothes.
