【题目】The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货), after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.

Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala (联欢晚会), a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.

“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous.

In Chongqing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.

A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the“Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.

To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (动力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose.

【1】The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ______.

A. Spring Festival Gala B. electronic products

C. fake cell-phones D. Olympic buildings

【2】According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ______.

A. the action that a person imitates famous people

B. products with poor techniques and quality

C. those similar names to famous brands

D. anything that imitates something famous

【3】We can infer that the mainstream culture ______.

A. may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

B. is the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

C. will be replaced by “Shanzhai” culture

D. is held back by “Shanzhai” culture

【题目】阅读表达

阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

It is challenging for some people to learn how to be patient with others. After all, not everybody is gifted with great patience. The good news is that it is something that can be learned and eventually perfected.

When the customer before you takes ages to pay for his or her groceries, you tap your foot impatiently and cough every now and then to remind the customer to move quickly; but no, he is still not hurrying up. It takes all of your power not to quarrel publicly. However, if you imagine that customer to be someone you like, then you will find yourself not getting angry, right?

So the next time you find yourself losing patience with somebody, simply think of that person to be someone you really adore and your patience will last longer.

The second step on how to be patient with people involves whistling. When you whistle a happy tune, you instantly cheer up. You can sing your favorite song if you can't whistle — it really doesn't make a difference. What's important here is that you have done something that makes you feel good. And when you feel good, you are more likely to be patient with the people around you.

When you're stressed, it's almost impossible to learn how to be patient with people. You have got to find a way to relax first. If you know you're going to be in a situation where your patience will be tested, get yourself a massage(按摩) first. Remember: the more stressed you are, the faster you'll lose your temper. However, learning how to be patient with people is not a must in life.
