Once it was aired on the Chinese online video platform,the Longest Day in Chang'an,a high-quality detective thriller web series,became an audience favourite.Set in Chang'an,China's ancient imperial capital and the world's most magnificent metropolis (大都市) during the Tang Dynasty,the 48-episode series revolves around how detective-turned-prisoner Zhang Xiaojing and Li Bi,head of Chang'an's anti-terror department,teamed up to stop a terrorist attack on the eve of the Lantern Festival.The events in the drama series take place within a span of 24 hours.
Shot in the ancient Chinese city of Xi'an in Shaanxi Province,this popular TV drama has made the city a tourist hot spot.Thousands of tourists have been flooding into this city to experience the magnificence and glory of its scenic spots that have been portrayed in a fascinating manner in the TV serial. "In the first week of this month,online enquiries about flight ticket bookings to Xi'an recorded a 130-percent year-on-year peak," said Ctrip,China's largest online travel agency.
"Xi'an had been a hot tourist destination long before the TV drama became popular.The serial portrays the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty of Xi'an.This has made the city even more popular.The media exposure makes those sites attractive choices for vacations," said a senior director at Ctrip.
It's not just Xi'an that is reaping the benefits of exposure via mass media contents.Suzhou,Chongqing and Bayanbulak Grassland have also become go-to destinations for domestic tourists as films such as Pegasus and TV dramas such as All Is Well were set or shot there.This trend of Chinese tourists flooding in places featuring in entertainment is extending to even destinations abroad.Thailand,Japan,the United Kingdom,the Czech Republic and Iceland have shone as tourist destinations among Chinese travelers,especially the younger lot,thanks to films and TV dramas that were shot there,Ctrip found.
Those born in the 1980s account for 32 percent of Chinese travelers.Those born in the 1990s and 2000s make up for 27 percent and 13 percent,respectively,according to Ctrip.
"They are the main viewers of some popular shows.They pay attention to the beautiful scenery as highlighted in entertainment shows.Combined with the impact of top stars in such shows,their fans would like to go on trips to those places.Some even travel while shoots at such places are on," Ctrip introduced.

1.British children's writer Roald Dahl ate chocolates and sweets "pretty much every mealtime",remembers daughter Ophelia Dahl.
After dinner,whether dining alone or entertaining guests,Dahl would pass around a little red plastic box full of Mars Bars,Milky Ways,Maltesers,Kit Kats and much more.
He knew the history of all the sweets and could tell you exactly when they were invented.1937 was a big year when Kit Kats (his favorite),Rolos and Smarties (his dog,chopper's favorite) were invented.He wrote a history of chocolate,lecturing schoolchildren to commit such dates to memory(熟記),such as 1928 when "Cadbury's Fruit and Nut Bar popped up on the scene",saying. "Don't bother with the Kings and Queens of England.All of you should learn these dates instead.Perhaps the Headmistress(女校長(zhǎng))will see from now on that it becomes part of the major teaching in this school."
According to Dahl,the Golden Years of Chocolate were 1930-1937.In 1930,Roald Dahl was 14 years old.He was a student at Repton,a famous boys' boarding school in England.It was a tough environment:those in authority were more interested in controlling than educating the students.
Ironically(諷刺地),it was at this difficult period that chocolate became Dahl's passion.Near Repton was a Cadbury chocolate factory.Every so often,Cadbury would send each schoolboy a sampler(樣品)box of new chocolates to taste and grade.They were using the students---"the greatest chocolate bar experts in the world to test out their new inventions.
This was when Dahl's imagination took flight.He pictured factories with inventing rooms with pots of chocolate and fudge(軟糖)and "all sorts of other delicious fillings bubbling away on the stoves".
"It was lovely dreaming those dreams…when I was looking for a plot for my second book for children.I remembered those little cardboard boxes(紙盒)and the newly invented chocolates inside them,and I began to write a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
For the record,Roald Dahl did not like chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream.He said, "I prefer my chocolate straight."

2.Recently,a film star has been giving away free books on the London Underground.If you're a bookworm,a Harry Potter fan and a London Underground user,then it's been an exciting month for you.

The 100 or so books Watson left for passengers to read were even more special because she left a hand-written inscription(題詞).The books were Kaya Angelou's Mom & Me & Mom.

3.It can be really hard to learn a new language.I had always enjoyed learning languages in school,but only recently did I start learning German.I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily,but when it came to literature,I really struggled.That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children's books printed in the target language.
At first,I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age,but then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere.As children,we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures,and from there,we can learn and develop.I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK.I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.
The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot.Therefore you can work out some words with your knowledge of the story.At first,I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other,but this did not work well.The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of that chapter,highlight the new words and then look up the definitions.If you can wait a bit before using a dictionary,you may be surprised what you can understand merely from the context.Additionally,a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.
If you can find a translation of the books you have read as a child,I would strongly advise reading those if you are a complete beginner.However,if you feel a bit more confident reading in English,I would personally recommend the series of 'Harry Potter' books by J.K.Rowling or any of the Roald Dahl children's books.

D.Boring.

A.How to deal with new words while reading.
B.Why it is helpful to read children's book at first.
C.How to choose a proper book to match your level.
D.How to form the habit of reading in the target language.
