When her 22nd birthday was coming, she decided to celebrate it in a special way. She wanted to climb China's Five Great Mountains in five days. When Zhao was a middle school student, she had an interest in sports and started to ride bikes and climb mountains. So when she talked about climbing the five mountains, her family thought it was a good idea.
On April 25 last year, Zhao reached the top of Mount Hua after a four-hour climb. Then she took trains and buses, and even had a two-hour night climb in Mount Song. She then climbed Mount Tai and Mount Heng in Shanxi. The most difficult part was climbing Mount Heng in Hunan. "It wasn't difficult to climb, but I was really exhausted at that time and couldn't even move any further," Zhao said. She didn't have enough time to sleep. After getting to the top of Mount Heng, she quickly got back to school.
Zhao said planning the trip wasn't an easy job. She needed to book tickets and leave enough time to rest before the next climb. However, she sounded pretty happy when she described the excitement of travelling under the stars, watching the amazing sunrise, and enjoying free winds at the top of the mountains.
"The trip is also a gift for my mum, who brought me into this world and has been there for me all these years," Zhao said.

People have lived on the Earth for a long time. Have you ever wondered what people's life was like in the past 36
Today, people usually enjoy two-day weekends. Did people have weekends in the past No. But they had their own way to rest. During the Han Dynasty, after people worked for five days, they could rest for a day. During the Tang Dynasty, they had to work for ten days and then they could have one day to rest. 37They could celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival with their family. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people could even have a few days to rest on the emperors' birthdays.
In summer, it's easy for us to stay cool and comfortable with an air conditioner. 38As early as the Zhou Dynasty, some workers' job was to find ice in winter and keep it for the next summer. When it came, people could use the ice to make their rooms cooler. The ice could also be used to make cold drinks.
39 Of course not. People in the Song Dynasty already had it. The emperor Xiaozong liked to order takeouts late at night. His servants would go and find dishes and bring them back to him. 40 Restaurant waiters would go on the streets and tell people about the dishes they could order that day. After ordering food, people could wait for the dishes at home.

Hi, everyone. I'm Cindy. Today I'd like to talk about my vacation. I went to the summer camp with my sisters on July 15th. It was wonderful and enjoyable. The weather there was hot and wet. My favorite place was the museum. When I arrived, there was a picture show about the changes of the environment. You know, my favorite subject is history, so I spent almost 3 hours watching it. During the camp, we also went to a high mountain. It was relaxing for me because I like hiking. We enjoyed the beautiful views and delicious pies together on the top. The summer camp helps me get close to nature. I hope I can have more chances like this.
