There is where many Chinese and foreign tourists come for a “hutong tour”. We asked several of these tourists to tell us about their impressions. (Vicky Wang, Hong Kong) “It’s really strange --- we’re in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world, but in these hutongs it feels as if we’re in a village in the countryside. There are lots of trees everywhere, and all the buildings are only one or two storeys high. Also, there aren’t many cars in the hutongs, so they are quite quiet --- very different from the streets in the centre of Hong Kong! It’s nice to stroll around here and stop for a drink in one of the little cafes or bars by the lakes.” (Ted Watson, Canada) “When you visit the modern parts of Beijing --- with the wide roads, tall, concrete and glass buildings, and neon lights (霓虹灯) you can imagine that you are almost anywhere in the world. It’s the old hutongs, temples and palaces that are really interesting and beautiful. It’s a shame that so little of the old city remains. I’ve taken lots of photographs while I’ve been here. The next time I come back here, I don’t know how much of old Beijing will be left.” (Yu Lou, Shanghai) “I don’t see what’s so interesting about these hutongs. The streets are too narrow --- I couldn’t drive my Mercedes down them. And most of the houses are old and dirty. China should have a modern capital city that we can all be proud of. Lets get rid of these hutongs and replace them with modern offices and flats! Who Impression Ted Watson 1. The old hutongs, temples and palaces are ________________. Yu Lou 2.

The time difference between two zones is one hour. You can have days with more than twenty-four hours and days with fewer than twenty-four hours. You can have weeks with seven days and weeks with fewer than seven. If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean (大西洋), your ship comes into a different time zone every day. As you come into each zone, the time changes one hour. If you travel west, you set your watch back. If you travel east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours. If you make a trip by ship across the Pacific Ocean (太平洋), you across the International Date Line (国际日期变更线). This is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change one full day. If you travel east, today becomes yesterday; if you travel west, it is tomorrow. ( ) 1.
