Wuzhen in Zhejiang is a peaceful water town.Its old houses have made it a place of interest.But last December,more than
2000 special guests,including state leaders,government officials and Internet businessmen,got together there.They were not there for trip.Wuzhen was chosen as the home of the World Internet Conference (WIC)and the second yearly WIC was held there from Dec.16 to 18,2015.
"Because it is beautiful,"explained the BBC."It shows one of the event's big ideas:the Internet is a thing of beauty that should be shared by all human.And Wuzhen is held together
by rivers and crossed by many stone bridges.These make it similar to the Internet,too.
The key reason is the place's great use of the Internet﹣Wuzhen shows the world what a Chinese smart town looks like.A smart town uses modern technology to make all its services
better.
Wuzhen had 2 700 Wi﹣Fi signal spots then,covering almost every corner of the town.Leaving home without a wallet is just fine because online payment is encouraged in most shops.
Wuzhen also built 26 free bike rental(租赁)spots.A bike in Wuzhen can be rented simply with a smart phone.Wuzhen's public services aren't the only developing things.People's lives in Wuzhen also become smart.An online home﹣care system was put in nearly 2 000 older people's homes.Nurses will come to them right now with the help of the smart system.

In Britain, the first day of the month of May is known as May Day. May day marks the end of the harsh(严酷的) winter months, welcomes the beginning of Summer, and optimistically looks forward to the bright and productive months.
For their ancestors, largely in rural areas, it was a major annual festival and was celebrated(庆祝) through out the country, especially on the first day of May with music, dancing and games.

May Day began early in the morning. People went out before sunrise in order to gather flowers and plants to make their houses and villages beautiful in the belief that the vegetation spirits(神灵) would bring good luck.
A traditional May Day dance is Maypole Dancing,On May Day, people used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer.People danced around the tree poles in celebration of the end of winter and the start of the fine weather that would allow planting to begin. Maypoles are still a part of some
village life and on May Day the villagers dance around it.
May Day celebrations have their origins(起源) in the Roman festival of Flora, goddess(女神) of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer.
