Why does Qufu attract a lot of visitors?_ B My first Spring Festival in North China was a bit of shock. Where was the spring? There was snow on the ground and ice on the Summer Palace Lake and a northwest wind was blowing. In England, where I come from, we think of flowers in spring. Then I had another problem. In Beijing, although there is snow and ice, its often sunny over the Spring Festival. So I liked to be out, to walk in the snow round the Summer Palace Lake or to skate on Kunming Lake. Then Id come home and find that old friends had called on us while we were out. So gradually(渐渐地) I learned how the Chinese people spent the Spring Festival. The first day is for family get-together. The second and third days are for paying and receiving visits. So I changed our holiday life style and stayed at home or called on friends those days. These days I dont always stay in Beijing for the Spring Festival. Sometimes we go on a trip to some other parts of China. Last year we were lucky enough to go to Hainan Island. Instead of skating, we went swimming. That was fun. The sea water in February was warmer than it is in the middle of the summer in England. Choose the best answer according to the passage. ( )1.
