Last summer holiday, I had an amazing trip with my family in the UK. We went there to visit my Uncle Sam. He went there in 2015. He lived in London, the capital of the UK.

London has a long history of more than 2000 years. There are lots of old and beautiful buildings in the city. We visited many famous places—like the British Museum, Big Ben and Oxford Street. I liked the British Museum best because the works of art in it are so amazing.

If you want to go shopping, you must go to Oxford Street. It's home to about 300 shops. I bought some cards for my friends. I think they will like them.

The food in London is different from that in China. Usually, English people eat one kind of meat and two vegetables for one meal. And there are lots of Chinese restaurants and even Chinese supermarkets. So I could eat everything I like.

The trip to London helped me learn more about the world. I hope I can visit more countries in the future.

①________Thousands of years ago, people went to public (公共的) bath houses to clean themselves. Today, it may be strange for someone to wash with others outside their home. But most houses did not have bathrooms in the home at that time. People had to go to public bath houses. In fact, they were not just a place to wash, but also to meet with others and have a rest.

②________The first public bath house was in India over 4, 000 years ago. From that time, many countries used public bath houses. In ancient (古代的) Greece, the public bath houses included areas for washing, a common pool for resting and areas for exercise. In ancient Rome, there were also public bath houses. Some even included game rooms, gardens and libraries!

③ _________ Countries like Turkey, Japan, China, Hungary and Italy have them now, but in different styles. The Korean public bath houses do not only have the areas for washing. They have more. Most of them have computer rooms, dining halls and places for sleeping on warm floors and having fun in front of large TVs. Amazingly, many large public bath houses in Korea are open 24 hours a day, days a week.

④_________ Public bath houses sounds like a strange idea, but it's an interesting thing you may want to try if you can. They are a lot of fun.

Bambi looked down at his mother and said, "let's go to the meadow(草地). "

His mother looked up at him, "go to the meadow now?" Her voice(嗓音)was full of surprise and fear(害怕), so Bambi became quite afraid.

"Can't we go to the meadow?" he asked softly. "No, you can't go now," his mother answered.

"Why?" Bambi thought there was something strange going on here. He became more afraid, but at the same time he wanted to learn about everything. "Why can't we go to the meadow?" he asked.

"You'll find out all about it later when you're older," his mother replied. "But," Bambi asked again, "why don't you tell me now?"

"Later," his mother repeated, "you're nothing but a baby," she went on in a soft voice, "and we don't talk about these things to children." She thought about it carefully and said. "Go to the meadow at this time of day. I don't even like to think of it. Why, it's in the daytime now. The sun is shining brightly in the sky."

"But it was in the daytime when we went to the meadow before," Bambi said. "That's different," his mother said, "it was early in the morning."

"Can we only go there early in the morning?" Bambi was very curious. He always liked asking questions and wanted to know about everything.

His mother smiled. "Only in the early morning or late evening," she said, "or at night."

"And never in the daytime, never?"

"Well," she said at last, "I can't make you understand. You are too young…Some of us go there…But it is too dangerous. That's what life teaches us."

Long time ago, Chinese children didn't have mobile phones, iPads or computers, but they had a great time playing some interesting games. Different children, different games. Let's take a look.

 ● Stone (石头) balls

In the Qing Dynasty, boys got together and played a stone ball with feet around their neighbourhood in the northern part of China, and they played it in winter to keep warm. Children usually cut the stone into a smaller one, the same size as an egg. When it began, all of them would rush to kick the ball, and did their best to keep the ball around themselves and not to lose it to others.

●Hide-and-seek

Hide-and-seek was popular all over China in ancient times. Many people enjoyed playing it. There were two ways to play: keeping a child's eyes closed when others ran around to make fun of him or, more often, some children hiding and one child trying to find them.

● Watching shadow plays (皮影戏)

Shadow play is one of the oldest operas in China. It started over two thousand years ago and became more popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties. At that time, it brought fun to the people like the modern films and TV. It usually told the stories about the heroes and other famous people in history, even about the wars. The players usually used the puppets(木偶) behind a piece of cloth through the light, telling stories to the music. In the Qing Dynasty, shadow play art came to its top.

● Playing diabolo (空竹)

Diabolo (also called "the Chinese yo-yo") is always made of wood or bamboo and has nothing inside. Playing diabolo was a very interesting game among young children in North China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The players could do different tricks to play the diabolo, up and down, left to right with two sticks and a string(绳子)in their hands. It often made a loud sound after its high-speed rotating(高速运转). They used their whole body to exercise when playing, so everyone liked it very much at that time.
