(B) Li Shizhen was born in 1518. His father was a poor doctor. Li Shizhen often saw that people fell ill. He decided to study medicine so that he could help people who were ill. Li Shizhen read many books about medicine. He found many of the old medical books were full of mistakes. So he wished to write a new one. He did his best to study medical science. He studied not only the herbs(草药) in his own garden, but also the wild ones. He always went on long journeys to collect herbs and talked with old peasants. He learned a lot from the working people. After many years of hard work and study, Li Shizhen finished his great works Ben Cao Gang Mu. At that time he was sixty. His book is now one of the greatest contributions of the Chinese people to the medical science of the world. 根据短⽂内容，判断正(T)误(F)。

Kunming has a population of more than 5,000,000. Though the weather in Yunnan changes from place to place, Kunming is famous for its beautiful weather. It’s neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter. That’s why more and more people like to travel and even to live there. You can see that great changes have taken place there. ① A lot of tall buildings, movie theaters and hospitals have been put up. You can cross the streets over foot bridges in the city. You can buy whatever you want in stores and supermarkets in or around the city. People’s lives are becoming better and better. On weekends or vacations, people like to relax themselves in different places and in different ways. In winter, people, especially old people like to climb the Western Hills. From the top of the hills, you can have a wonderful view of beautiful Kunming. Far away from the hills, you can enjoy the Sleeping Beauty among the hills. After supper, families take a walk along the bank of Dianchi Lake. The Golden Temple and EXPO Garden are two famous places of interest in the north of the city. ② EXPO Garden is known to people both at home and abroad. You can spend a whole day visiting the world-famous garden. A little farther away from the southeast of the city, a special forest welcomes you. It is not a tree forest, but a stone forest. So it is called the Stone Forest. People in Kunming are really friendly. They often invite their friends home to share delicious food, like rice noodles.
