A new type of accommodation (住宿) choice called bed-and-breakfast (B&B) is welcoming more visitors in China.During this months Golden Week, bookings for the B&Bs in China grew by 400 percent from 2020, according to B&B booking website T. Starting in Europe, B&B is often a private family home. Travellers pay to stay overnight and have breakfast. In China, many B&Bs are in rural (农村的) areas and are more about fun, experiences and new friendships, reported by China Daily.“The meals are cooked by the host. Very often, vegetables are homegrown. Hosts and guests chat over a meal and play with the pets together,” Yu Minliang, a 23-year-old tourist from Shanghai, told China Daily. However, as more B&Bs come out, the service sometimes may not be good enough. Some guests complained the soundproofing (隔音) is bad and the house is dirty.To solve the problem, the first national industry standards were carried out on Oct.1. For example, every B&B should provide no more than 14 guest rooms and things like towels and sheets must be changed after every visitor. The standards will help the B&B industry develop in a healthy and sustainable (可持续的) way, reported CNR (中国广播网). 54.What is B&B?A. A new way of welcoming visitors in Europe. B. A new type of sleeping at night in China.C. The first choice to sleep at night in China. D. A new type of accommodation choice in China.55.What do travellers usually do in B&Bs in China?A.

Over the next three years, they will spend eight hours studying Mandarin Chinese every week. Nick Gibb is an officer of the British government. He said a high level of fluency in Mandarin Chinese would become more and more important. “Language skills are important for jobs and life. Mandarin Chinese is spoken by the largest number of people in the world. It is also one of the languages that is the most important to our countrys future. If the United Kingdom wants to remain competitive(竞争的) in the world，we do need far more of our young people leaving school with a good command(精通) of Mandarin Chinese,” Gibb added. “We hope that our young people could be given the chance to study the language. We want them to be fluent in both spoken and written Mandarin. The Mandarin Excellence Program will help us do this. It will not only open the students eyes, but also give them a great advantage when they enter the world of work.”British kids, in fact, are not alone.
