Ⅱ. Choose the best answer（阅读短文,选择最恰当的答案）
People often talk about the warmth and kindness that makes a city feel like home — and in Chengdu, this spirit fills every corner. Chengdu is not only famous for its spicy hot pot and lovely giant pandas, but also for its unique way of life: a spirit of warm welcome, care for others, and joy in sharing, which makes every visitor feel like they belong.
This spirit is easiest to feel in the city’s teahouses. On my first morning in Chengdu, I sat alone in an old teahouse in Kuanzhai Alleys. An elderly local man noticed me and kindly invited me to join his table, poured me jasmine tea and chatted with me. He shared stories of his childhood and his snacks, saying, “In Chengdu, no guest is a stranger.” This kind act made me feel at home at once.
Chengdu’s warmth also shines through its food culture. Sichuan hot pot is more than a meal — it symbolizes sharing. I ate hot pot with a local family who refused my payment and kept adding food to my bowl. “Hot pot tastes best when shared,” the mother said. When my mouth felt too hot from the spicy, numbing soup, they gave me cool brown sugar ice jelly, saying, “We take care of our friends here.”
This warmth extends to the Panda Breeding Base. Keepers treat pandas with great care, and volunteers help visitors warmly. When I got lost, a volunteer walked 10 minutes with me to show the way, even though it was out of her route.
In many modern cities, people are too busy to talk to strangers. But in Chengdu, warmth and kindness are a way of life — this is the true charm of the city, making everyone feel loved and welcome.
