A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? A recent research shows that most people would choose the latter.
This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says.
According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.
Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu.
Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says. “Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.
1.Which of the followings doesn’t belong to the characteristics of a tough woman?
A. She is independent of others in daily life.
B. She can solve problems usually for men.
C. She is more tolerant to stress.
D. She is soft and tender to others.

3.Why are there more tough women nowadays?
A. Because tough women are more lovely.
B. Because of the fierce competition in society.
C. Because girls often love fathers more.
D. Because more women want to be independent.
4.What problems may tough women have in their life?
A. They may have difficulty with marriage.
B. They often suffer gender confusion.

Nobody can avoid making a mistake at some point in their life. We might as well accept that something will go wrong and we will be to blame. It is therefore wise to work out some strategies for apologizing, and the best way to apologize is by letter.
We all say or do something that we wish we hadn’t said or done. You may say something that accidentally hurts someone, or you may provide a service which doesn’t come up to the standards that a client or customer expected. You may feel that it was a genuine mistake which couldn’t be avoided. Rather than dwell on the mistake, you should quickly try to remedy(补救) the problem. An effective letter of apology is an important part of that process.
For the content of the letter, just remember TABS－Timing, Action, Briefness, Sincerity.
The time of a letter of apology is important－it must be sent as soon as possible. Any delay in sending the letter will only worsen the problem. In this case “Better late than never” is not the best motto! The longer you wait before writing a letter of apology, the more it will seem that you have been forced into writing it.
Although it is important to recognize what has gone before, it is also essential to detail the action you plan to take to correct whatever you did wrong.
A letter of apology should be brief and the word “sorry” should appear no more than twice. Indicate that you are aware you are using it a second time “once again, I am so sorry for…” or “as I said earlier, I am really sorry about…”
1.What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Advice on making fewer mistakes.
B. Strategies for making an apology.
C. Advice on writing a letter of apology.
D. Importance of a timely letter of apology.
2.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means you ______.
A. don’t have to take the mistake you made seriously
B. don’t waste time worrying about what happened
C. forget about what happened
D. analyze who was at fault
34. 3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. It’s important to apologize timely.
B. A mistake is not always easy to clear.
C. People are always unwilling to apologize.
D. People should think twice before apologizing.
4.What will be discussed following the last paragraph?
A. The sincere tone of the letter.
B. The proper length of the letter.
C. An apology email, choice of the 21st century.

At home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday routine. I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, it’s a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!
Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with off-the-wall names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.
Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.
I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence – “crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will show?
1.How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants?
A. Confusing but amusing. B. Easy to understand.
C. Boring and annoying. D. Accurate and helpful.
2.The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. taste B. look C. step D. risk
3.The passage deals with ______.
A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishes
B. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurant
C. a comparison between Western food and Chinese food
D. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English
4.The passage is developed mainly in the form of _____________.
A. examples and statements
B. comparison and conclusion
C. causes and effects
D. time and description
