VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解)：（共 50 分）
A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)（12分）
Last summer, I began the biggest adventure of my life. I moved from a tiny city in England to one of the largest cities in the world.
As the plane landed in Beijing, I felt excited that I'd finally arrived after months of planning. One of the first things 1 did was visiting one of the city?s hutongs(胡同)? Strolling (闲逛）around the narrow streets, the warm air was filled with the smell of delicious food as people played mahjong and rode their old-fashioned bikes . This was the first moment I thought ,\
Beijing couldn't be more different to my own home city , Preston , which has a population of just 114,000 . It has one shopping street that's around 500 meters from one end to the other and on Sunday , all the shops close at 4:00 pm. There isn't a great deal of choice when it comes to restaurants , either , and as a fan of food , I couldn't wait to see what Beijing has to offer . I still don't have a favorite dish here yet .
I'm slowly getting used to the fast-paced(快节奏的) lifestyle and different way of life , but I still find some habits here quite strange and humorous .
British people are raised to not make any sort of bodily noise at the dinner table or in public , so to hear the loud noise of Chinese diners or the throat-clearing （清嗓子）sounds of colleagues (同事) was a funny culture shock at first .
Something else I?ve discovered is the attention that being a foreigner brings. On the subway or in streets and restaurants, some people stare (盯着看 ) and try to take secret photos of me. It seems that I am a famous person or a popular star.
In the future, I hope to see many other parts of China. My dream is to buy a motorbike travel from one end to the other of this beautiful country, taking photos and

meeting new people along the way.
My adventure in China is only just beginning, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.
