Beijing is known as a large and busy city. But if you walk down one of its main streets into a small alley (巷), you may find something different—Beijing’s hutongs!
People say they live in hutongs, but in fact, they live in the buildings on one side of the hutongs. Hutongs are the alleys between houses.
Beijing has been China’s capital city for over 700 years. As the city grows, the number of its people and houses is becoming larger and larger. Now there are more than 6,000 hutongs in Beijing. If all of them were connected end to end.
Among all these hutongs, there are certainly some exceptional ones. While most of them are straight, some are curved (弯曲的). Jiuwan Hutong is the one with the most curves. It’s only about 390 meters long. Its name means nine curves, the narrowest hutong in Beijing is called Qianshi Hutong. It is only 40 cm wide at its narrowest point. In this hutong, only one person can pass at a time.
Beijing people love hutongs because they bring them a lot of fun and relaxation. In the hutongs, people can enjoy the sun, sing songs and play chess with their neighbors. They can talk with others and listen to some stories.
Hutongs are not only a symbol of Beijing’s culture, but also an important part of China’s national culture. So people try to keep them well as historical places of interest.
29. What are hutongs according to the passage
A. They are alleys with a history of 800 years.
B. They are alleys in the centre of Beijing.
C. They are alleys between houses.

A. Only 390. B. Over 6,000. C. Less than 700.
31. Why do people in Beijing like hutongs

B. Hutongs have a long history.
C. They can write songs in hutongs.
C
Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy cannot bring happiness to a person for a long time.
But is that really true Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. But it’s not having money that brings happiness. Instead, it’s giving money to others that makes people happy. It could be buying a gift for a friend or a family member. It could be buying a homeless person food to eat. It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel Whether it is a small large amount of money, people feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.
This idea of connecting (关联) your happiness to the happiness of others is called “ubuntu” in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa. He asked some children to race to a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat. Surprisingly, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they did this. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one.
32. What does the writer say about buying things
A. Buying things can make people worried.
B. Buying things can make people scared.
C. Buying things may bring sadness for long.
D. Buying things may bring happiness for a short time.
33. Why does the writer write the story in paragraph 3
A. To explain (解释) Africans like sweets. B. To show children like to share sweets.
C. To explain the idea of happiness connecting. D. To tell happiness is from children.
34. What does the underlined word “they” refer to (指代) in the last paragraph
A. The trees. B. The sweets. C. The children. D. The others.
35. What does the writer try to tell us
A. Buying new things can make people happy.
B. The key to happiness is to make others happy.
C. If you want to be happy, you can visit Africa.
D. People who have a lot of money might not be happy.
