Lucy Black recently became the youngest person to travel to every country in the world. By the age of 23, she has visited all the countries in an effort to challenge 【小题1】 (she) and push the limits of 【小题2】 she believed was possible for a female traveler.

Lucy 【小题3】 (primary) used planes, boats, and trains to get around. It was not all plain sailing and there were many difficulties Lucy met, arranging visas to enter some countries 【小题4】(include). But the challenges 【小题5】 (outweigh) by the memorable experiences on her way. “There’re so many incredible experiences that can come out of traveling alone because you are more open to the connections with the 【小题6】 (local) than you would be in a big group,” she said.

Lucy had the pleasure of meeting 【小题7】 range of people and experiencing different cultures. But the most 【小题8】 (value) experience of all was discovering a new sense of independence, she said.

For Lucy, nothing beats traveling, which she described 【小题9】 her favorite part of being alive. “【小题10】I would be lying if I said I was enjoying taking a long time to recover from all the wear and tear I have done to my body over the past three years,” she added.

With Harbin’s tourism developing successfully, Jiang Kedong, 【小题1】 (know) as “Brother Zuoyou”, was using the wave of this new attention. He changed from a local performer to a 【小题2】 (wide) recognized Internet superstar. His famous work “Rabbit Dance” caught people’s hearts with 【小题3】 (it) simple and easy-to-understand style. And soon it became a symbol of Harbin’s lively spirit during this wave of tourism boom (繁荣).

The “Rabbit Dance”, marked by cheerful side-to-side foot movements, not only spread on social media, but also became a cultural symbol of Harbin’s tourism boom. At first, Jiang’s dance video 【小题4】 (appreciate) just by the locals, but it soon caused widespread interest and attracted a lot of people to experience the joy and 【小题5】 (warm) of Harbin, even in the coldest months.

The winter month was a whirlwind (旋风) for Jiang because he adapted 【小题6】 his new popular role. He led a quite different life now, 【小题7】 (balance) the demands of Internet honor with his personal love for dance and community activities.

A video, 【小题8】 shows the way Jiang has hugged his role as a symbol of Harbin’s tourism boom, offers a look into his life during this 【小题9】 (remark) year.

Watch the video and let’s follow Jiang Kedong on an unexpected journey 【小题10】 (understand) how his “Rabbit Dance” has become an important part of Harbin’s successful tourism industry.

Xu Xiake was born in 1587. 【小题1】 (he) parents were rich landowners. Yet he gave up a 【小题2】 (comfort) life, and decided to explore the mountains and rivers on foot.

China has more famous explorers. There was: Zhang Qian, who traveled into Central Asia during the second century BC, opening a trade road that became 【小题3】 is known as the Silk Road. Or Zheng He, the sailor who in the 15th century sailed as far away as Africa. Yet these explorations 【小题4】 (support) by governments. Xu was totally different.

“On the surface, Xu’s travels can neither be classified as great affairs of state 【小题5】 great adventures that changed the course of history,” writes cultural historian Cheng Pei-kai. “Xu travelled to satisfy his own 【小题6】 (curious).”

Scholar Julian Ward agrees, describing the lonely Chinese wanderer like the Middle Kingdom’s version of John Muir: “Deep in love with nature and eager to find freedom 【小题7】 worldly concerns, Xu was a man addicted to 【小题8】 (see) and describing the landscape.”

“The few coins 【小题9】 (slip) from a hole in my pocket while I was climbing a mountain in Yunnan. When I finally managed to the town, I sold all my clothes, bought myself a bottle of wine and a good dinner 【小题10】 (celebrate) my survival,” the dreamy explorer wrote in his diaries, which mix details of geology, geography and botany with such personal travel experiences.
