Since many foreign tourists have known little about, here is some information about it.
An end and new beginning
By the time of Shuangjiang. most of the harvesting (丰收) work is already completed in northern China .Farmers are now able to enjoy a period of rest.
But in the south .the harvest is still in its best time, as farmers have to take home the sweet potatoes before they are destroyed by the coming frost.

Appreciating in the view an old tradition starting in ancient times .Du Mu ,a well-known poet from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) described the mountainous scenery in a poem :“ stopped the coach as charmed by the maple woods ; Frosted autumn leaves outshine February flowers in redness.”

25、 You probably see a lot of things made of plastic, like bottles and bags, every day. What happens when that plastic gets thrown away? Scientists say much of it ends up in oceans and causes problems for creatures(生物)like fish and birds.
“Plastic puts ocean creatures in danger," says Allison Schutes of the Ocean Conservancy. That's a group that works to protect the world's oceans.
A recent study shows that each minute, enough plastic reaches the ocean to fill up one garbage truck! That same study predicts that by the year 2050, our oceans will have more plastic than fish.
All that plastic is bad news for ocean life. Some ocean creatures die when they get tangled(使缠结)in pieces of plastic. Others accidentally eat it and die, too.
Most scientists say taking out all the plastic that's already in the ocean would be impossible. Instead, they say the best way is to prevent more plastic from getting there.
Many groups are already taking action. They organize cleanups on beaches to pick up litter before it reaches the ocean. ▲ , volunteers from the Ocean Conservancy collected more than 16 million pounds of it last year!
Experts also encourage people to use less plastic. Many cities and towns in America have banned plastic shopping bags. Experts also suggest that people drink out of reusable bottles and try reusable shopping bags.
“These seem like small things," says Schutes, "but they can help make a big difference.”

26、To get rid of (摆脱) “holiday fat” is not that easy. The followings may give you some help.
Stay Active. One of the main reasons of being fat during the holidays is lack of (缺乏) exercise. Time is spent doing holiday activities such as having a big meal, watching TV and so on. These make us more tired.
Don’t Starve (使挨饿) Yourself. Many people think that before taking part in a new year dinner, they should go hungry all day so that they won’t get too many calories (卡路里) later on. The fact is you may be so hungry that you will eat much more.
Choose Healthy Food. For the cooks of the family, you really need to think about the ingredients (材料) that you often use and then think about how you can make the dish healthier.
Sleep. Lack of sleep not only leads to stress, it can also lead to weight gain (体重增加). Enough sleep can help you lose weight in some way. So try to have a good night’s sleep.
