五、阅读与表达。（每小题2分，共10分）
Travelling is not only a way to relax but also a good chance to experience different cultures. Many people love travelling because it helps them see the world in a new way and learn things beyond books.
Different places have their own special cultures, including customs(风俗), art and food. For example, when you travel to ancient Chinese towns, you can see special-style traditional houses and watch folk performances(表演) like lion dances. You can also learn to make simple handcrafts such as paper-cuts, which are part of local culture.
Food also helps us understand a place’s culture. Trying local food tells us about the local people’s living habits. Some food has interesting stories, and local people are willing to share them with travellers.
Besides, talking with local people is helpful. You can ask about their daily life and traditions, and easily make new friends. This communication helps us respect and love different cultures more.
In a word, travelling and culture are closely connected. It makes our life richer and helps us become more open-minded.
