There is no better way to explore the Great Wall in China than by hiking or walking along it.

Here we recommend three most popular hiking routes for you. Take your time and feel the history

coming to life.

Route 1: Jinshanling-Simatai （West）

This route is also called Jinshanling Great Wall hiking. It is definitely the best hiking route if

you want to see the original Great Wall. It includes some ruined sections as well as some breathtak-

ing scenery with the Wall snaking along the mountain ridges into the distance.

Distance from Beijing: 1. 5 hours by road Wall conditions: half ruined

Time needed: about 3 hours on the Wall Length: 5 kilometers

Difficulty:＊＊＊＊

Route 2: Mutianyu-Simatai

Mutianyu is the best fully restored section of the Great Wall with convenient access from Bei-

jing. Simatai is the most spectacular wild section of the Wall but this route is the most visitor-

friendly. An overnight stay in a hotel at Gubei Water Town will allow you to have a relaxing tour of

the Simatai Great Wall section.

Distance from Beijing: 5 hours by road Wall conditions: totally ruined

Time needed: two days Length: 10 kilometers

Difficulty: ＊＊＊

Route 3: Jiankou-Mutianyu （Wild Hike）

The experience will be extraordinary. When you reach the mountain ridges, you have con-

quered the most challenging Great Wall section. What's more, there are no crowds around you-it's

just you, the mountains, the ruined wall, your guide, and the history behind these ancient ruins.

Distance from Beijing: 2. 5 hours by road Wall conditions: partly ruined

Time needed: about 4 hours on the Wall Length: 7 kilometers

Difficulty: ＊＊＊＊＊

"He is a giant of the 20th-century art, but that doesn't mean he only did big

paintings, said Lynn Miller, director of Rochester Central Gallery, in an inter-

view last Thursday.

Entitled "Picasso and His Drafts", a special exhibit marking 50 years since

the death of Pablo Picasso is held at the gallery this month. Instead of his paint-

ings, the notebooks on which the Spanish legendary artist drew drafts are shown to the public for

the first time.

Matchbox covers, postcards, restaurant napkins all served as drafting notes for the artist at mo-

ments of inspiration. It is important to know that each of the 14 notebooks presented reflects what

was going on in his life.

For example, a tiny notebook whose size is just 3 by 5 inches stands out among the exhibits.

Inside the little book was a self-portrait of the artist finished roughly in pencil, with deep and

thoughtful eyes. It was done in 1918 and Picasso, then in his mid-30s, had just got married. He pro-

duced big-sized artworks but he also kept this tiny notebook around, filling it with scenes of his

wife, their friends, the beach and the town, and drafts of upcoming paintings. Actually, many of the

draft drawings are early versions of famed paintings like Les Demoiselles d'Avignon （1907） and

Dora Maar in an Armchair （1939）.

"He is a great artist of the modern period, and we see practice and determination in his note -

books, said Lynn Miller, referring to Picasso's efforts in improving his skills through copious draw-

ing. Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, a grandson of Picasso's, remembered him always drafting until the last

piece of paper available. “My grandpa was permanently drawing something, Ruiz-Picasso said.

In a documentary film shown at the gallery, Picasso, shirtless and in shorts, was standing on a

ladder to reach the top of his canvas （画布） . It reminds visitors of the real size of his master-

works.

4. What are the key features of the recent exhibit at the gallery?

A. Notebooks for sale. B. Picasso's artworks.

C. Priceless artistic drafts. D. Masterpieces of the 20th century.

5. What is reflected in the notebooks of Picasso?

A. His life experience. B. The love for his country.

C. The content of his books. D. His education background.

6. Which of the following best describes Picasso according to his grandson?

A. Creative. B. Diligent. C. Optimistic. D. Humorous.

7. What can we learn from the author's words in the last paragraph?

A. Picasso used to mind his appearance.

B. The gallery exhibits real masterworks.
