A Chinese actor's divorce from his wife has social media buzzing, with posts about the subject gaining over five billion views. WangBaoqiang announced online on Sunday that he was divorcing his wife, Ma Rong. He alleged that his marriage broke down after his wife had an affair with his agent, and that she had also transferred the couple's joint assets. The topic has sparked a debate about relationships and divorce, and it seems Wang's predicament£¨¾½¾³£© has struck a chord with£¨ÒýÆð¹²Ãù£© many ¡ª which could explain the number of views, which are high even by Chinese standards.

What exactly are they saying?

Chinese netizens seem to have rallied£¨ÍŽᣩaround Wang, with topics like #WangDon¡¯tCry# #WangWeSupportYou#, quickly trending after news of the divorce spread. Statistics by Weibo showed that 87% of netizens' posts condemned Ma for her affair, saying it had shattered her family. Some have even published her home address online. ¡°Wang is a hardworking man from a rural area. She cheated an honest man. I hate these kinds of people,¡±said one commenter on weibo.

But why are they so interested?

No other celebrity divorce or marriage has ever caused such a big stir on Chinese social media. On the surface, this might seem like just another Chinese celebrity split. But what is it about this one that's got all of China ruffled up? Some people feel that this divorce seems to fit a certain trope ¡ª of a beautiful but ordinary girl marrying a rich but less good-looking man. It is not uncommon to hear the belief that a couple has to "match" at every level ¡ª be it in status, or physical appearance ¡ª for a relationship to work out. "The concept of being evenly matched is still one that is widely believed in China," Dr Mu Zheng, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology at the National University of Singapore told the BBC's Yvette Tan.

It's also making people talk about divorce.

A lot of social media discussion has also centred around divorce, and in particular how people can protect themselves. Wang has alleged that his wife transferred and hid some of the couple's assets. They're a wealthy couple ¡ª their assets, according to Chinese media, include nine flats, a BMW car and various luxury goods. As a result, people are debating the importance of protecting individual assets, even after marriage. Attitudes towards divorce are fast changing in China, and divorce rates are on the rise. State newspaper Global Times says a total of 3.84 million couples in China divorced in 2015, an increase of 5.6% from 2014.¡°People are getting much more open to the idea of divorce now, especially as Chinese people become more educated and open-minded towards both marriage and divorce,¡± says Dr Mu.

We are surrounded by mixed messages about mistakes: we're told we earn by making them,

but we work hard to avoid them. So the result is that most of us know that we are going to make

mistakes, but deep down, we feel we shouldn't.

Experiments with schoolchildren who did well on a given test show that those who were

praised for being smart and then offered a more challenging or less challenging task afterward

usually chose the easier one. On the other hand, children praised for trying hard-rather than

being smart-far more often selected the more difficult task.

If we try hard to avoid mistakes, we aren't open to getting the information we need in

order to do better. In a writing study, experiments showed that those who are so scared to

make mistakes perform worse in writing tasks than those who aren't as worried about being

perfect. They fear receiving any kind of negative feedback, so they don't learn where they went

wrong and how to get better.

We don't just learn more when we're open to mistakes, we learn deeper. Research tells us

that if we're only concerned about getting the right answer, we don't always learn the

underlying concepts that help us truly understand whatever we're trying to figure out. Mistakes

need to be seen not as a failure to learn, but as a guide to what still needs to be learned. As

Thomas Edison said, ¡°I am not discouraged, because every abandoned wrong attempt is

another step forward. "

Furthermore, we often make mistakes because we try new things-we wander away from

accepted paths. Teflon, penicillin-these are examples of great discoveries made by mistake.

Take a page from Albert Einstein, who said, "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never

tried anything new. "

2.Which of the following statements is NOT acceptable according to the passage?

A. The more mistakes we make, the more we learn.

B. Mistakes can be used as a positive factor for success.

C. Being open to mistakes help you understand the truth.

D. A step forward may come from mistakes you've made.

3.What does the last paragraph want to tell us?

A. One must follow a correct path to avoid mistakes.

B. To become an Einstein, you should make mistakes.

C. You can't make mistakes unless you try new things.

D. Making mistakes is not a disadvantage in a way.

4. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. We can never avoid making mistakes when we work.

B. Success can't be achieved without making mistakes.

Campers Gene and Marie Marsden took pride in being good citizens when in the wild. While driving miles to the Green River Lakes area, they taught their children what they had learned in the bear safety handbook put out by the Bridger-Teton Forest Service.

Mr. and Mrs. Marsden did their best to keep a tidy camp. As the handbook had said to hang all food at least ten feet off the ground and four feet out from the trees, they did that and locked their food in their trailer(Íϳµ) at night. It was already dark when they went to bed, but they perused the campsite with flashlights, making sure nothing was left out. Following the bear book¡¯s advice, they slept a hundred yards from where they cooked their food, and kept the car near their tents, separated from the trailer, which they left up at the other camp.

The Marsdens liked having their dog Spike on guard. But on the first night, Spike would not stop barking. When Marie Marsden pulled the tent open and shone her flashlight, she saw a young bear.

They all piled into the car and drove quickly down the path, calling out of the window to Spike and abandoning the trailer. They drove to a pay phone and called a Fish and Game Department guard, who identified the bear by the white ring of the fur the Marsdens had seen around his neck. The authorities informed the Marsdens that the bear was a young male that they¡¯d been keeping an eye on.

The next morning, the Marsdens heard helicopters circling over the mountain and wondered if it might have something to do with the bear.

After spending the night in the public campground, they drove back to their site. Wandering the area in search of clues, Marie came to a stop below a tall tree. She slapped her head and shouted, ¡°Oh no!¡±

¡°What is it?¡± Gene asked.

Marie pointed at the ground where Spike¡¯s dog food bowl lay upside down.

A week after their return home, the Marsdens read the headline in their local paper. ¡°Bear Killed in Wind Rivers.¡± According to the article, the Fish and Game Department had shot the young bear because, having been rewarded for invading(ÇÖÈë) a human campsite, it would likely to do so again.

The Marsdens knew they had been lucky in the encounter, yet much to their shame and sadness, they also knew that the bear had not.

1.What do we know about the Marsdens?

A. They went to the wild to watch the bear.

B. They did what the bear safety handbook had said.

C. They were the first people to trap the bear.

D. They abandoned their dog on seeing the bear.

2.The underlined work ¡°perused¡± in Paragraph 2 means __________.

A. examinedB. decoratedC. foundD. clean

3.Who is mostly to blame for the bear¡¯s death according to the writer?

A. The bear.

B. The Bridger-Teton Forest Service.

C. The Fish and Game Department.

D. The Marsdens.

4.Where does this text most probably come from?

A. A study on habits of bears in the Western mountains.

C. A human interest article in a camping magazine.

D. A handbook on bear¡¯s living habits.

A garden that¡¯s just right for you

Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum of its parts? 1. But it doesn¡¯t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.

¡ñ 2.

Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers. 3. However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.

¡ñRecall your childhood memories

Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma¡¯s rose garden and Dad¡¯s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that¡¯s not what¡¯s important. 4. ¡ªhow being in those gardens made us feel. If you¡¯d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 5. Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.

A. Know why you garden.

B. Find a good place for your own garden.

C. It¡¯s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers.

D. It¡¯s our experience of the garden that matters.

E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants.

F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too.

G. For each of those gardens, writer down the strongest memory you have.

Though there are about 400 languages from all over the world that are in danger of disappearing completely£¬Zoque-Ayapaneco£¬a native Mexican language is considered the most likely to become extinct£¬because the only two people in the world that speak it fluently do not talk to each other!

And£¬it's not because they live in different countries£¬states or even villages. In fact£¬Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez£¬both in their 70s£¬live within 500 yards of each other£¬in the village of Ayapa in the Southern Mexican State of Tabasco. They£¬however£¬refuse to communicate because they simply don't have much in common. Segovia is apparently a little frank in nature while Velazquez is described as shy.

Segovia was at least able to talk in Zoque-Ayapanece with his brother until he passed away about 12 years ago£¬and still manages to practice it with his family£¬especially his son Manuel£¬who for the last five years has been trying to learn it and hopes to become fluent enough to teach it to the next generation. Velazquez on the other hand£¬has not been heard speaking in the language with anybody.

The two men say the language used to be widely spoken in the village£¬but the younger generation refused to learn it for fear of being laughed at£¬and it therefore began to die a slow death£¬as the elders passed away.

Unless the two men get their acts together£¬the only way to hear the language will be to either listen to Manuel's not-so-fluent statement or see them talk in a documentary entitled ¡°Lengua Muerta¡± (Dead Language) that is being filmed to capture Zoque Ayapaneco and 364 other native Mexican languages that are in a similar state.

We sure hope Segovia and Velazquez soon find something common to talk about. Maybe the fact is that the language is dying and that they should start encouraging and teaching the next generation together.

1.What do we know about Zoque-Ayapaneco?

3.From the passage£¬we can conclude that ________.

A£®altogether 365 languages are becoming extinct in the world

B£®Segovia and Velazquez will communicate with each other soon

C£®the government cares a lot about the protection of Zoque-Ayapaneco

D£®we can hear the language from Manuel or documentary ¡°Lengua Muerta¡±

4.What's the main idea of the passage?
