Last summer holiday, I took a trip to Yunnan. It is in the southernpart of our country. It is really a very beautiful place with grand(宏大的)mountains, clean rivers and kind people. Trees and flowers are seeneverywhere. Every year there are lots of visitors.Maybe you have heard about Shi Lin (stone forests). There are allkinds of strange stones. Some of the small stones look like graceful（beautiful）girls; and the big stones look like handsome men. Other stones look like cats, peafowls（孔雀）, double-edged swords（双刃剑）, mice, elephants and so on. Of all the stones, the stone like a beautiful girl in a legend（传说）is the most famous. Its name is A Shima.I also went to Li Jiang. The roads in that city are just like the Eight Diagrams. Any road in the city goes to the center of Li Jiang. A river runs through the whole city. If you go along the river, you'll never get lost. There are many ethnic minority（少数民族）people in Yunnan. They are very friendly. And they all like singing and dancing. We danced with them around the campfire that night. I really had a good time.I like the elephants and fruits there best. An elephant is even taller than me! I even mounted the elephant, though I was very afraid at first. But the elephant seemed very friendly. I took some photos with it. The fruits there are very fresh and delicious. They are very good for our health.I will never forget the trip to Yunnan .Reading Comprehension【难点释疑】1.It is in the southern part of our country.它位于我们国家的南部，in the southern of 相当于in the south of2.

让步状语从句though引导让步状语从句，though解释为让步是指尽管……，还…… 注意：当有though, although时，后面的从句不能有but，但是though 和yet可连用Although it's raining, they are still working in the field.【知识积累】到了北京登墙头，到了桂林观山头，到了苏州看丫头，到了云南……那就是：石头了!而这石头指的就是指的石林，它被誉为“天下第一奇观”和“阿诗玛故乡”，它是国家重点风景名胜区和5A 级景区，04年2月被列为世界地质公园，07年6月与贵州荔波，重庆武隆捆绑组成“中国南方喀斯特”被列为世界自然遗产。

早在元朝,石林就设了路南州，就是长满黑石头的地方，后设路南县，98年12月将路南彝族自治县更名为石林彝族自治县。

这里有“五乡”之美誉，即“岩溶、歌舞、摔跤、绘画、烟草之乡”。

说到石林县，不得不提到这里的撒尼人。

撒尼人是彝族的一个支系。

他们自称“尼”，意思是快乐的人。

在新中国成立前，彝族还没有一个统一的称谓。

1950年毛主席选定了“彝”字为他们的族称，认为有“米”又有“丝”，可以不愁吃穿。
