Leaving Hanoi on a fiercely hot summer day,after an hour by air,Luang Prabang gradually appears below our airplane wings.From a few hundred meters above,my first impression of this UNESCO-listed heritage（遺產(chǎn)）is an area of green land and mountains,surrounded by snaking rivers.

Encircled by mountains,the former royal capital of Luang Prabang is more than just the country's picture-perfect showpiece.

Travelers will be attracted to Luang Prabang by the city's timeless peacefulness with its shiny Buddhist temples, French colonial architecture and friendly people.

Tourists visiting Luang Prabang shouldn't miss the chance to see one of the most sacred（神圣的）Lao traditions, tak bat,or the Buddhist almsgiving ritual（儀式）,which dates back to the 14th century.

As the sun rises in Luang Prabang,hundreds of Buddhist monks depart from their temples to gather their daily offerings,which most commonly are rice,fresh fruit and traditional sweet snacks.The daily alms gathering begins on the main street before spreading to all the side streets.

Our group of six got out of our comfy beds at 5 am to join other local residents and tourists to offer alms to the monks.We kneeled by the roadside in front of the 3 Nagas Hotel on the main street with big baskets of steamed sticky rice,waiting quietly until monks of all ages passed by to accept our gifts.

The daily ritual gives you a wonderful opportunity to experience an ancient Lao tradition.However,there are some strict rules if you wish to join the event.

Firstly,shoulders,chests and legs must be covered in modest clothing as a mark of respect.You should also remain a suitable distance from the monks.Photographs may be taken,but from a distance and never use a camera flash.The ritual has to be performed in silence.Talking to or touching the monks at any time,even when making an offering,is not allowed.

Another must-do morning activity is to visit the local market,where you can see the generosity that Mother Nature offers this dreamy land.While walking through the morning market,located within a long and narrow hamlet,I was excited to see all kinds of products from the nearby river and jungle: some ill-fated squirrels lying next to fresh bamboo shoots,different kinds of wild mushrooms and vegetables displayed on banana leaves and giant river catfish in baskets.

Although Luang Prabang is small,there are many things to see here.Active travelers can get up close and personal with Laos' gentle giants at the elephant conservation camp or take in some scenes of riverside life with a cruise or kayak excursion on the rivers.Two waterfalls that are perfect for picnicking in the foothills nearby,and classes are available in traditional crafts.

1.What can we learn about the tak bat?

A. The daily alms gathering begins on all the side streets.

B. Tourists take photographs,using a camera flash if too dark.

C. Tourists kneel by the roadside,waiting quietly for monks' gifts.

D. Tourists remain a suitable distance from the monks and keep silent.

2.What impression will Luang Prabang most probably leave on tourists?

A. Ancient and attractive. B. Modern and charming.

C. Large and mysterious. D. Distant and poor.

3.If you visit the local market in Luang Prabang,you will find .

A. people there are very generous

B. products are sold through a sacred ritual

C. products there are sold only in the morning

D. products sold by locals are from the surroundings

4.The author introduces Luang Prabang to readers mainly by .

Controlling Anger

Becoming angry is something beyond the control of people.1. Becoming angry can do a lot of damages, both mental and physical. However, there are methods for discovering how to control anger and not suffer later.

● 2. The moment you feel there are chances of you becoming angry, get away from those circumstances. In fact, there can be no better a judge than you, for discovering what it is or who it is that makes you become angry, and then at that moment choose to think about something else that can lighten your feelings.

● Keep a check on your breathing. 3. By controlling the process of breathing, you can actually slow down your anger greatly. You can count till the number three as you breathe in, hold it for 3 seconds and again count till three while breathing out. You have to concentrate on the count as you do this and repeat for as many times as is required.

● 4. For example, if you're experiencing road anger while driving, you can choose to tell yourself that the person who overtook you by a vehicle was in a hurry as a result of some emergency and appreciate the fact that nothing major had happened to your car. Repeat this form of self-talk to yourself every time you are in the middle of such an angry situation.

● Look for a support in other people. 5. It needs to be clear right at the beginning as to why you are discussing your concerns with that individual. Let the other individual know what you want from the other person. After you're done with your part of discussing about the circumstances, chances are that you'll feel much better than before.

A. Talk to yourself positively.

B. Come to a stop as soon as you are angry.

C. Try to see the situation in a different light.

D. You can also ask for help from the one you rely on.

E. What you can do when you become angry is to breathe deeply.

F. In fact, almost all people at one point of time or the other become angry.

G. You can imagine going to a place you consider to be calming as well as relaxing.
