二、補(bǔ)全短文。
To most people, Beijing is a big city with many new tall buildings. 11 You can see hutongs if you go on vacation to Beijing. When you walk in hutongs, you'll really love this city.
A hutong is a narrow lane (狹窄的小路) between siheyuan, the special houses in Beijing. 12 Usually, you can see groups of old people sitting together, playing cards or Chinese chess and talking.
13 Most of them are hundreds of years old, and the oldest one is Sanmiao Street. It is over 900 years old.
The hutong shows the life of common people in Beijing. In the past, people living in the hutong usually enjoyed a big, warm dinner in the lane with their neighbours. And a shout was enough for them to call their friends. 14 Some of them still enjoy eating outside and don't like to live in the tall buildings.
Now Beijing has taken down quite a few hutongs. 15
