It was a cold night. The taxi driver didn’t take even one passenger（乘客） all day. When he went by the railway station，he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he drove to him and asked，“Where are you going，sir?”

“To the Red Hotel，” the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this， he didn’t feel happy any more. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was near the railway station. But suddenly， he had an idea. He took the young man through many streets of the big city.

After a long time， they arrived at the hotel. “Here we are! You should pay me fifteen dollars， please，” the taxi driver said to the young man. “What? Fifteen dollars! Do you think I’m a fool?

In China, the National Holiday is a big festival and it is to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong in 1949.Besides from the Spring Festival, the National Holiday is the only other week-long public break from school and work.
As one of the only opportunities  for workers to go home, visit their families or to travel around the country, all hotels, tourist attractions, trains, buses and airplanes around the country are completely packed with holidaying Chinese people.
Are you sorry for not traveling during the National Day ? If you stay at home at that time, I think you are very lucky. Why? Because there are too many people everywhere. In many places of interest in China, it’s too crowded to do anything.
Look at the picture. It was too crowded on the Great Wall on October 1st, 2012. You even couldn’t take photos for you or your friends. All that we could see were people. It was reported that there were about twenty people per meter on the Great Wall. My friends told me they could see nothing but many people on the Great Wall. “We couldn’t walk if the people in front of us didn’t walk,” he said. He showed us a photo on the Great Wall. In the photo, we hardly found him out, there were too many people.
So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week any more. But other people say no about this advice. What’s your idea of it? Are you sorry now for not traveling during the gold week? I love staying at home more than traveling next National Day.
