Tiangong -- 1(or.Heavenly Palace)space module(舱)is the first step toward China’s plan to build a space station around 2020.Its launch(发射)by China has upset some countries,which are asking why China did not add on to the International Space Station that has been in place since 1998. After all, the Americans,Russians,Europeans and Japanese are using one platform to experiment in space.

Questions have also been asked about China’s final purpose in space and suggestions made that there is something as unpleasant as the theme in a James Bond movie,in which Chinese-looking enemies were at the root of some evil(邪恶的)plot to control the world.

Chinese don’t see themselves that way, and never in history have they been flag-planting settlers.Most Westerners are educated in the adventures of the great European explorers,headed by Christopher Columbus and James Cook,and followed closely by the groups of culture egotists(自大者)with a mix of guns,gold and the Bible in their hands.

In comparison,Zheng He,the great Chinese sailing master,took groups of ships to Africa and the Middle East to promote goodwill, with gifts of chinaware and art.No flags claiming(宣称) possession of distant areas.But this is strange to Western society.

In this century,it is clear that space cannot be claimed by one nation.Yet advantage of technology in space does seem to be on some minds.Former US president Ronald Reagan caused shocks and worries with his Star Wars program.So when China shot down its own satellite as a test in January 2010 there were anxieties in the West about Star Wars 1ike scenario(剧本)becoming reality in the near future.

1.The launch of Tiangong -- 1 __________.

A. is appreciated by countries like the USA and Japan

B. will bring trouble to the western countries in space

C. is part of China’s plan to set up a station in space

D. will help China be a member of the Space Station

2.It is most probable that the US,Russia,Europe and Japan ______­­­­__.

A. are competing against one another in space wars

C. are cooperating to compete against China in space

D. have warned the world of China’s final purpose

3.The author of the passage mentions Zheng He _________.

A. to tell people China’s will never be enemies of world peace

B. to compare him to the great European explorers like Columbus

C. to indicate that he is the pride of the Chinese people

D. to show that the Chinese people are as great as other peoples

4.From the last paragraph,we can infer that _________.

A. China’s shooting down its satellite made the scenario become reality

B. some countries are trying to be ahead of the others in space exploration

C. China will be in control of the world if she starts space exploration

D. if a nation has a better technology in space,it will start a star war

 

One of the latest trend(趋势) in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.

“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.

Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.” she says.

“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.” But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”

The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.

A. A mother raising her children on her own

C. A professor in language education of children

D. A young foreign woman taking care of children.

2.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ______.

A. to live in China some day

One’s style of the dress reveals the human obsession with both novelty and tradition. People use clothing to declare their membership in a particular social group; however, the rules for what is acceptable dress for that group may change. In affluent societies, this changing of the rules is the driving force behind fashions. By keeping up with fashions, that is, by changing their clothing style frequently but meanwhile, members of a group both satisfy their desire for novelty and obey the rules, thus demonstrating their membership in the group.

There are some interesting variations (变种) regarding individual status. Some people, particularly in the West, consider themselves of such high status that they do not need to display it with their clothing. For example, many wealthy people in the entertainment industry appear in very casual clothes, such as the worn jeans and work boots of a manual laborer. However, it is likely that a subtle but important signal, such as an expensive wristwatch, will prevail over the message of the casual dress. Such an inverted (颠倒的)status display is most likely to occur where the person’s high status is conveyed in ways other than with clothing, such as having a famous face.

1.According to the author, fashions serve all the following purposes EXCEPT

A. satisfying an interest in novelty

B. signaling a change in personal beliefs

C. displaying membership in a social group

D. following traditional rules

2.Why does the author discuss individual status in paragraph 2?

A. To state that individual’s status is not important in the West

B. To argue that individuals need not obey every fashion rule

C. To contrast the status of entertainers with that of manual laborers

D. To explain how high status may involve an inverted status display

3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word?

A. newness B. convention C. nobleness D. benzene

 

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, "This is Mrs. Tan."

And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, "Why he don’t send me cheek, already two week late."

And then, in perfect English I said, "I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived."

Then she talked more loudly. "What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss." And so I turned to the stockbroker again, "I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the cheek immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week."

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

A. they forgave the stockbroker

B. they failed to get the check

C. they went to New York immediately

D. they spoke to their boss at once

4.What does the author think of her mother’s English now?

A. It confuses her.

B. It embarrasses her.

C. It helps her understand the world.

D. It helps her tolerate rude people.
