Holidays in Spain not only mean visiting the tourist attractions or enjoying the

thrills of bullfight, but also are charming because of the various options for

entertainment in Spain.

Getting in

Reaching Spain by air from London to Barcelona takes 2 hours; London to Madrid is

2 hours and 20 minutes and to Malaga is 2 hours and 45minutes. The journey from New

York to Madrid is 8 hours and 35 minutes.

Things to do

If you want affordable entertainment and leisure in Spain, go to the streets. In

Spain, walking across the streets is known as the “paseo”, in which the entire

Spanish families move forward clapping out flamenco rhythms. This is the best occasion

to know Spanish culture better.

If you want some indoor options for fun, come to the movie houses, which are

luxurious and provide the bar service. Here, you can watch films translated into

Spanish and be prepared to watch horror films, cowboy films, etc. If you have a taste

for drama and play, you can enjoy performances in theaters, where you can watch plays

of Spanish authors as well as translations of foreign plays. There are typical

nightclubs which are open till 2:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m., and you need to be formally

dressed up.

There are circuses of very high quality and also a lot of options for sports

lovers. Soccer has attained even more popularity than bullfight in Spain. Then, there

are other sports like boxing, bicycle races, horse races, and in the Basque region,

handball.

you need proper clothing when you come here. Further, direct exposure to sunlight for

long duration should be avoided to prevent sunburn and heatstroke.

A couple of weeks ago, my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression.

"Nothing is ever easy? The following day, as I tried to complete my day's work, I

happened to notice a bumblebee （大黄蜂）on the skylight （天窗）.The skylight was

particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five

minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the

living room was a mess and that 1 was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I did

not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what

my grandfather meant.

It is not only time that we tend to underestimate - we don’t account for

unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor but we seldom think of

all the negative things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember

that your day or week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal.

It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged 一 even at a task you thought was simple

一 because that is part of life.

If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly

more manageable. In middle school. I thought high school might be easier because I

could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school I thought college might be

easier because I could have a schedule （计划）best suited for myself. Yet each time,

I was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn't （and

shouldn't） be easy. I found myself with a more positive altitude and improved

results.

Of course, there should be preparations made to account tor expenses or time.

Doing so can only help you accomplish your goals in a better way. However, there is no

need to beat ourselves up when something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee

coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it.

4. Why did the author mention his experience of removing a bee?

A.To share something unforgettable with us.

B.To lead us to what the author learned from it.

C.To show the unexpected costs it caused.

D.To tell us how easy it is to waste our rime.

5. Why do things often turn out to be different from what we expect?

A.We often don't take time seriously.

B.We tend not to have enough money.

C.Unexpected things can happen.

D.It is easy to feel challenged.

6.According to the text, what does the underlined phrase ^beat ourselves up" mean?

A.lo hit or kick ourselves hard, many times

B.to blame ourselves too much

C.to encourage ourselves to work hard

D.to give up ourselves

7.What is the author's purpose of writing this article?

A.To encourage people to make greater efforts.

B.To explain how to make preparations.

C.To tell us what to do when something gets in our way.

D.To persuade us not to expect things to be easy.
