GUANGZHOU: The successful Guangdong International Tourism and Culture Festival has become a perfect stage to showcase the popularity of Guangdong and Pan Pearl River Delta (PPRD) region as a tourism destination, said Tang Bingquan, vice-governor of Guangdong Province.

According to the provincial tourism administration of Guangdong, more than 40,000 people attended the opening ceremony of the festival. More than 1, 000 high-ranking officials from the central government and Guangdong provincial government, World Tourism Organization, consulates (领事馆) of various countries in Guangzhou, and other provinces of China, also showed up in the ceremony. The activities in the past few days attracted a large number of visitors from home and abroad.

In the past 30 years, Guangdong Province has been one of the leaders in the nation in terms of economic development. Its average annual economic growth maintained a rate of 13.8 percent, according to Tang.

Last year, Guangdong’s gross domestic product (GDP) hit 330 billion, accounting for one-eighth of the total of the country. The province’s import and export volume hit 527.2 billion, accounting for one-third of the country’s total foreign trade volume.

Everyone has experienced trying but failing to master a difficult book, which was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is    16   to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in    17    too much from the first reading of a(n)   18   book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the    19    reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair (绝望).

     What is the right method? The    20    is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not known or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever    21    to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.

     Do not be stopped by what you can't understand. Read through the difficult    22   , and you’ll soon come to things that you do understand. Read these    23   . You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that    24    you to have read the book through once    25   .

     What you understand by reading the book through to the   26    will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not    27    in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding nothing of it, which will happen if you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.

     Most of us were taught to    28    the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the   29   of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another    30    for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only harm our reading, instead of helping it.
