First, welcome to West Lake! I am glad to serve all of you.

Today you come here, you are sure to be attracted by its beauty. Hangzhou is famous for West Lake which is a famous fresh water lake, It lies in central Hangzhou, in Zhejiang Province of eastern China.

Traditionally, there are ten best-known spots on the West Lake. They are called Ten Scenes of West Lake by Qianlong Emperor. The West Lake is divided by three causeways called Su Di, Bai Di, and Yanggong Di. First I want to tell you the history of Bai Di.

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Zhen yuan era（785-804）, poet Bai Juyi came to Hangzhou as a governor（官员，总督）. He realized that the farmland nearby depended on the water of West Lake, but the old dyke（堤防）had collapsed（倒塌）, the water of West Lake had dried out, and the local farmers suffered drought. He ordered the construction（修建）of a causeway of a stronger and taller dyke to solve the drought problem. The lives of local people improved over the following years. Then Bai Juyi had more free time to enjoy the beauty of West Lake. He visited West Lake almost every day. This causeway was later named after Bai Di in Bai Juyi's honor.

Next is Su Di. Spring Dawn on the Su Causeway is considered as the first of ten scenes. It was built by Su Dongpo, the great poet, during the Noah Song Dynasty. It is very beautiful in spring.

【小题1】West Lake lies       .

It was a beautiful spring morning. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and the sun was warm but not too hot. Mr. White saw an old man at the bus stop with a big and black umbrella in his hand.
Mr. White said to him, “Do you think it’s going to rain today?”
“No,” said the old man, “I don’t think so.”
“Then are you carrying the umbrella because the sun is too hot?”
“No, the sun is not very hot in spring.”
Mr. White looked at the big umbrella again, and the man said, “I am old man, and my legs are not very strong. I must have a walking-stick. But people will say, ‘Look, the man is so old, and I don’t like that.’ When I carry an umbrella in fine weather, people only say, ‘look at that stupid man.’”
【小题1】The story happened         .

One day, there was a blind man called John sitting on the bench（长条椅）with a hat by his feet and a sign that read,“I am blind. Please help me.”

A creative publicist(广告员) named Tom was walking by the blind man and stopped to see that the man only had a few coins in his hat. He put a few of his own coins in the hat. Without asking for permission, he took the sign, turned it around and wrote a new message. Then he put the sign by the feet of the blind man, and left.

Later that afternoon the publicist returned to the blind man and noticed that his hat was almost full of bills and coins. The blind man recognized（认出，识别出）his footsteps and asked if it was he who had changed his sign. He also wanted to know what the man wrote on it.
