Who said ‘Give me liberty(自由), or give me death’?” What she saw were only blank faces except Toshiba’s. He held up his hand and then said, “ Patrick Henry, 1775.” “Good,” said the teacher. “Who said ‘Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish(毁灭)from the earth’?” There was no answer. Again Toshiba raised his hand and said, “Abraham Lincoln, 1863.” The teacher said to the class, holding back(忍住)her anger, “You should be ashamed of yourselves. Toshiba is new to our country, but he knows more about our country.” As she turned to write something on the blackboard, she heard a whisper(嘀咕), “Damned Japanese.” “Who said that?” she asked.

This place has clear rivers, beautiful forests on hills and peaceful villages. The UN honored much of Wuyi in 1999. Since then, more and more tourists have visited it and some have used air travel to get there. But you will be glad to know that it is still a special quiet place to see. Yunufeng, or Jade Lady Peak, is as beautiful as ever. Jiuquxi, a river in the shape of a snake in the southwestern part of the Wuyi Mountains, is still green and clear as it travels nearly ten kilometers to the flats (平地) below. On the river you can see many high hills or stop to climb a rock staircase to the top of Tianyoufeng. From there you might stand in a light warm rain as you look out over the beautiful valleys (山谷) below. Clouds come and go among the mountains and into the valleys. Birds sing cheerfully in the forest, perhaps calling out names from long ago. In another part of the river you can take a boat down a whitewater but be sure to wear a T-shirt and shorts as you will get wet! If you need to wear glasses, tie them to your head. Don’t change your mind about going down the river! Be brave! Some guides will help you on the boat and take care of you on the river. You can watch the green water become white as it begins to move more rapidly. You will probably feel both excited and nervous, but enjoy the ride! When your journey is finished, don’t forget to go to the village nearby and try the famous Wuyi rock tea. Then you can have a rest and think about the trip. 14.
