Activity 1: Reading comprehension
You will be staying with your pen friend in Shanghai for a couple of weeks. You

on a website.
蘇州是一座歷史悠久、風景秀麗的城市，位於上
海和文化古城南京之間。俗話說，’上有天堂，下有
蘇杭’，其中的’蘇’指的就是蘇州。蘇州城內既有’
甲天下’的園林，又有’勝天下’的山水，加上從古至
今很多有名的詩人和作家寫下無數贊美蘇州的詩歌
和文章，使得蘇州成為聞名天下的’人間天堂’。
蘇州大大小小的古典園林一共有六十九座，大多數的蘇州園林都是古代的
私人花園。每座園林的風格都不一樣，各有特色，其中最有代表性的是拙政園
和留園。它們與北京的頤和園和承德的避暑山庄一起被稱為 ‘中國四大名園
‘，是中國園林的經典之作。與拙政園和留園不同的是，頤和園和避暑山庄以
前都是皇帝的花園。
拙政園是蘇州最大的一座古典園林。園中的山
石、流水、花草、樹木錯落有致，清秀自然。水池
中的水面，十分清澈。 整個園林中每一處都是風
景，非常美麗。留園雖然沒有拙政園那麼大，卻以
園內的假山和奇石最出名。
蘇州城內其它有名的園林還有網師園和獅子林
等。盡管網師園非常小，面積不到拙政園的六分之一，但許多愛好園林的人都
特別喜愛它，因為它的布局非常精巧，是蘇州園林中最玲瓏最典雅的一座。獅

UNIT 1
子林有六百多年的歷史，面積也不大，但很安靜，也很典雅。因為園中到處可
以看見形狀像獅子的石頭，所以人們把這座園林稱為’獅子林’。
蘇州園林的景色結合了自然美、建筑美和繪畫美。它們獨特的建筑風格和奇
異的布局吸引著來自世界各地的游人。

年。1997 年被列為世界文化遺產。

Suzhou residential gardens, yet it is the most impressive because of its use of

Activity 1: Reading comprehension
You read this article about tourism on a website:
大部分的市民放假時最喜歡外出旅游。目前，隨著人民生活水平的提高，國家
休假制度的改革，市民的度假觀念的改變，旅游市場出現了很多變化。
變化一： 跟團游(跟旅游團旅游)降溫
幾年前，一提到旅游，很多人首先想到的是跟著旅行團一起出游。但是這幾年
來, 越來越多的人認為跟團游花的錢比較多，靈活性卻不大，可以選擇的路線
也不夠多。另外, 全國各地的旅行社所設計的旅游路線幾乎相同，因而在一些
著名的景點，常常由於游客過多，很多服務都讓人不滿意。 最近幾年，游客
投訴事件越來越多。常見的投訴有：景點太臟太亂，餐館太少、太擁擠，旅館
衛生條件不好，等等。很多游客花了錢去旅游，卻對景點留下很多不好的印
象。最近，一家網站對三千名會員做了調查，大概百分之五十的會員表示，不
會選擇跟團旅游。
變化二：自駕游（自己駕車旅游）和自助游（自助式旅游）升溫
現在，自己買車的人越來越多。周末或者是小長假，開著私家車出去旅游的人
也越來越多。很多人認為，這種旅游方式既經濟又方便，還很自由，想去哪兒
就去哪兒。他們常常帶上家人，開車去一些風景美麗卻不怎麼有名的地方，輕
輕鬆鬆地過一個悠閑的假期。還有的人選擇自助游的方式。他們通常叫上兩三
個好朋友一起旅游，自己確定路線、自己購買車票或機票，以及自己安排食宿
等。

UNIT 2
變化三： 旅行社有新招
出去旅游的市民仍然很多，旅行社的生意卻越來越少，怎麼辦？旅行社有什麼
辦法來應對旅游市場的變化呢？針對自駕游和自助游升溫的現象，很多旅行社
想到，一方面，要為這些游客提供服務，比如組織自駕游旅行團，幫助自助游
游客購買車票和機票、預訂旅館等; 另一方面，要大力開發更多的國內和國外
的自助游新路線，讓游客有更多的選擇，可以滿足不同年齡不同職業游客的需
求。另外，在現有的旅游項目上，旅行社更要努力提高他們的服務質量，關心
幫助每一位游客。這樣一來，旅行社就會吸引到更多的游客。

近年來，旅游市場發展越來越成熟，選擇去國外旅游的中國人越來越多，因而
出國旅游路線選擇越來越廣，旅游服務也越來越好。
出國旅游項目剛剛開始的時候，價格很高。對大多數中國人來說，相當於他們
半年或者一年的工資。因此，很多人認為，花這麼一大筆錢，當然是能去的國
家越多越好。那時候，他們喜歡選擇一些 ‘歐洲四國五日游’，’歐洲十國十二
日游’之類的旅游項目。可是去旅游以后才發現，因為整個旅游時間短，要去
的景點又太多，因此很多游客’上車睡覺，下車拍照’，玩得非常累，沒有享受
到旅游的快樂。這樣的旅游, 質量太低了。
近幾年來，中國人民的生活水平提高了，口袋裡更有錢了。人們的想法也有了
改變：休閑的觀念比以前強了，越來越多的人認識到旅游質量的重要性。他們
不再喜歡幾天去幾個國家、甚至一天去幾個歐洲國家的旅游項目，他們更願意
在一個國家花上更多的時間慢慢地游玩，享受假期。因此，各大旅行社開發了
很多新的出國旅游項目，游客們可以花上半個月隻在一個國家游玩，去某個海
島住上一、兩個星期或者歐洲自助游等等。這些項目都越來越受游客喜愛。
不要以為隻是收入不錯的中年人士才出國旅游。老年人和一些十幾歲二十幾歲
的年輕人也喜愛出國旅游。不過，不同年齡的游客想去旅游的地點不太相同。
有些收入很高的退休了的老年人喜歡春天去氣候好的日本和韓國。有了家庭的
中年人喜歡帶孩子去法國、美國這樣的國家，去游迪士尼樂園，去海灘晒太
陽，盡情享受和家人在一起的時光；而一些年輕人則看中了一些’修學游’項
目，去自己想去留學的國家旅游，不僅游覽著名景點，品嘗各地美食，也可以
參觀一些學院或大學，為自己選擇將來留學的地方，真是一舉多得。

3.
to be able to give my opinions on ‘golden weeks’
Activity 1: Reading comprehension
When you are surfing on the internet, you come across this article about ‘golden
weeks’.
‘黃金周’，又稱為長假，其實是連續七天的休假。 ‘黃金周’開始於 1999 年。
當時，東南亞正在經歷金融危機，中國經濟也受到很大影響。政府開始實行這
個長假制度，目的是讓中國老百姓在長假期間出去旅游，增加消費，這樣才能
發展經濟。政府規定，春節、勞動節和國慶節都有法定的三天假期，加上移動
節日前后的兩個周末共四天，和這三天假期放在一起，人們可以有連續放假七
天，於是就有了國慶節’十一黃金周’、勞動節’五一黃金周’和’春節黃金周’。由
於周末和節假日本來就是中國老百姓消費的黃金時段，七天的長假更是將旅
游、交通和商業有效地結合在一起，成為商家賺錢的大好時機，因此被媒體稱
為’黃金周’。
這個休假制度剛開始實行的時候，受到了大部分老百姓的歡迎。但隨著經濟的
好轉，人民生活水平的提高，老百姓的消費觀念發生了轉變。’黃金周’帶來的
許多不好的影響越來越明顯，如放假期間交通堵塞導致老百姓出行困難，旅游
區人滿為患而引起的環境問題和物價上漲問題等等。人們對’黃金周’的休假制
度有了越來越多的不滿。2008 年，中國政府調整了休假制度：國慶節和春節
長假沒有變化，但五一勞動節假期由三天減少為一天，同時增加了清明、端午
和中秋三個傳統節日為法定假期，各休假一天。這樣一來，老百姓仍然可以
過’十一黃金周’和’春節黃金周’，但’五一黃金周’就不再存在了。政府也頒布新
的法律，開始實行職工帶薪休假制度，保障老百姓休息的權利。

黃金周’，去還是留, 老百姓怎麼想呢？
小張：
在公司工作壓力很大，周末經常要加班，我根本沒時間去旅游。每年過年隻放
三天假，一放假就得回老家跟家人團聚。十一放假時很多地方天氣不好，天天
下雨，不適合旅游。我是個很愛旅游的人，真正能讓我放鬆盡情享受假期的就
是五一勞動節的’黃金周’了。現在’五一黃金周’被取消了，我該什麼時候去度
假呢？我不同意取消’五一黃金周’，我需要這個假期去享受陽光明媚的春天。
老馬：
我在私人公司打工。 以前，五一及十一節假日因為金融等其他部門休假了，
老板沒辦法才跟著放假，我們這些員工才得到休息。現在的帶薪休假制度肯定
很難得到落實，沒有多少公司能夠真正實行帶薪休假。而政府官員和公務員就
不一樣了，他們可以盡情享受帶薪休假。不是所有的老百姓都能享受到帶薪休
假的，如果取消’黃金周’，我這樣的勞動者連休息的機會也沒了！反對取消’黃
金周’！
阿牛：
記得在第一個五一’黃金周’的時候，約了三個好朋友去雲南麗江玩，平時沒什
麼人的麗江小鎮熱鬧得就像北京的菜市場，人山人海，上廁所都要排長隊。每
個導游都在拿著喇叭喊話，結果講的什麼完全沒有聽清楚。印象最深的是人多
