一、阅读理解。
You must have heard of the legend(传说) of Yu Gong, who tried to move two mountains. The Taihang Mountain was one of the two mountains.
The Taihang Mountain passes through the areas of Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and Beijing. It is about 500 kilometers long. It is one of the largest mountain ranges in North China, and it was called “the backbone(脊梁) of China” in ancient times.
Many legends about the beginning of human civilization come from the Taihang area. For example, Nv Wa used stones to repair the sky to make sure that humans would have a better future; Hou Yi protected everyone by shooting the suns.
The Taihang Mountain is not only a place where the ancient stories happened, but also a place where tens of thousands of fossils(化石) were found. These fossils show how the earth has changed over time. At the same time, we can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area.
Nowadays, there are natural forests around the area with beautiful colours in four seasons. In spring, the trees of Taihang Mountain will grow green leaves. In summer, the trees will grow luxuriant(茂盛的) and leaves will cover the sun. In autumn, the trees in Taihang Mountain are tall and leaves turn yellow. In winter, the trees are covered with snow, like a thick white coat. You can go there whenever you want because it is beautiful all year round.
If you want to learn different things about history, culture and other important knowledge, you can come to the Taihang Mountain and feel its greatness.
