三、阅读理解（共两节，10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Where do you usually spend your vacations, at well-known (著名的) ones or less-known ones Now, a lot of young visitors like to take trips to less-known sights in China, because they think they can spend special and enjoyable vacations there. People call it “reverse tourism (逆向旅游)”.
There are usually too many visitors on vacation at well-known sights. In some main sights, people can only move one metre every ten minutes. Too many people usually can’t make the visitors have a good time.
Spending vacations at less-known ones is also a good way to save money. The price of food and hotel stays are usually high at well-known ones. But at less-known ones, they are not.
Another key is that less-known sights can bring the feeling of freshness (新鲜). Many visitors might not go to these less-known sights before. Spending vacations there can help them enjoy the scenery (风景) they didn’t see before.
Many people think “reverse tourism” is not a bad thing because visitors can have more different views to visit. And it can help people at less-known sights to get more money. Also, it can help people make the less-known sights more beautiful.

The second secret to leading a happy life is to be active. Many people experience this, dancing or playing a sport. 34
What’s more, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. 35 This is the secrets to find and enjoy happiness. Hope everyone of you can be happier.
