Thank you for your valuable suggestions. We have decided to show the Chinese character along with the Hanyu Pinyin for names of Chinese personages, places and specific things as from the next issue.
Reply letter B
Thank you for your suggestions. Next year will be the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Xinjiang
Uygur Autonomous Region. One of our staff reporters has just returned from Xinjiang and written a long
article about her trip. Next year, we will have even more coverage of Xinjiang.
Reply letter C
Other readers have asked us for similar information and we have so far answered them individually. In this
issue, we will print an open reply. We discovered after making a survey that there are few books to be
found on China printed in English. Most are published by the Foreign Languages Press and China
International press, from where it is possible to buy books directly.
Reply letter D
A majority of Chinese tourists travel abroad in order to see different landscapes and various cultures, to
appreciate an exotic atmosphere and to get to know local customs. Some Chinese tourists nevertheless
go to China towns, because they can eat Chinese food there. For those who don't know English or the
native language of the country they visit, it is convenient to go shopping or find entertainment in a
Chinatown.
Reply letter E
We have taken on your suggestions to start a column on personalities. There are kinds of reports, such
as movie stars, directors, businessmen, singers and so on. Our reports not only introduce their
achievements, but also report their inner world. We hope you will enjoy it.

I have just started reading your magazine regularly and enjoy the articles very much. I have one comment
to make. Can you include the Chinese characters for the names of people, places, etc that you mention
with the Hanyu Pinyin of Romanized phonetic system that you use? For example, what is "Emei" or
"Qitaihe"or "Shaoxing" in Chinese? It's also helpful for those of us who are learning Chinese.
Letter B.
It was interesting to read the magazine. I wonder if you could start a column which introduces the
Chinese elites of art, business, sports, politics, especially directors, actors, anchors(主持人)and singers.
I believe readers will also appreciate a livelier style.
Letter C
I am a civil servant in Xinjiang, a region relatively underdeveloped in comparison with other provinces.
But this does not mean it belong to another world. Xinjiang could benefit from overseas exchanges as
well as contact with people living in other regions. Could you include articles about Xinjiang and its
people? I suggest magazines report more about the western regions, especially exotic and charming
Xinjiang.
Letter D
I am an avid(热衷的)reader of your magazine and it has helped me to introduce China to foreign friends.
Thank you for great efforts to bring New China to the world. Next month, I may get the opportunity to
go to Nigeria, so I must learn more about China's history and culture. Could you kindly recommend a
suitable book in English?
Letter E
It was interesting to read "Chinese Travelers Step out". It seems a large percentage of Chinese tourists
visit the West. In Indonesia, Chinese New Year is an official holiday. How would you assess the level
of interest Chinese tourists have in Indonesia? Would they like to visit Chinatowns or other unique
attractions in Indonesia?

     An "apple polisher" is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a
bribe(贿赂),but is close to it.
     All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices ? just about
everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George
Fox and his party, but failed.
     There are other phrases meaning the same thing as "apple-polishing" ?? "soft-soaping" or "butter-up".
A gift is just one way to "soft-soap" somebody, or to "butter him up". Another that is just as effective is
flattery, giving someone high praise ?? telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how
talented and wise he is.
     Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love or hear it ? Only an unusual man can resist the
thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who gets so
little of it.
We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But we just
lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to
ourselves.
     Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good
example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got
tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣).They overpraised him to the
skies, as a man of limitless power.
     He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered
the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might
show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery.
1.Which of the following activities has nothing to do with "apple-polishing" ?
A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks
B. An employee tells his boss how good he is at management
C. A knight(骑士)is said to be of limitless power by his followers
D. A teacher praised his students for their talent and wisdom.
2.Which of the following statement about flattery is TRUE according to the author ?
A. Too much flattery can carry us away
B. Flattery is too empty to do people any good
C. Flattery can get nothing but excessive(过度的)pride
D. Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.
3. King Canute of Denmark and England took his followers to the seashore because __________.
A. he was sick of his normal
B. he disliked being overpraised any more
C. he wanted them to realize how wise he was
D. he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king
4. The author thinks that flattery can do good to those who _________.
A. are really excellent
B. lack confidence
C. are politicians or in high offices
D. think highly of themselves

　 Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if
you're dead." 　　
     Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a
mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why. 　　
     There have been many myths (误区) about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty
years ago. The following are three of the most common.  　　
     Myth Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident. 　　
     Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to
give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door
to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people
are "thrown clear". 　　
     Myth Number Two: Safety-belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
     Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety
belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to
the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having
a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them. 　　
     Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph). 　　
     Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield
with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

     I like watching TV very much for I think it has many advantages. First of all, watching TV is a good rest.
After a day of hard work, we need a good rest. Watching TV can make our mind and body not tired any more
because of the pleasant music and TV plays.
     Besides, watching TV is entertaining. There are many kinds of entertainments, such as sports activities,
singing and dancing concerts, plays and the activities within a short time. We need at least ten hours to fly
from New York to Paris, a week by train from Beijing to Moscow and an hour to drive from Queens District
to Manhattan District. But within just one second, TV can bring us from an NBA game in New York to a
fashion show in Paris by changing the channels.
     Most important, watching TV is educational. Our children can learn every kind of subjects through the
educational programs and the special reports on TV, and it's easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese
teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian lessons from a Russian teacher in Moscow. Even we can learn how to
behave well from the TV plays. Meanwhile, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge classroom.
1. What's the best title for the text?
    ________________________________________________________________________________.
2. According to the writer what's the most important reason for watching TV?
    ________________________________________________________________________________.
3. Why can watching TV make the writer have a good rest?
    ________________________________________________________________________________.
4. Why is it not possible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the activities within a short time?

5. Why is watching TV educational?

     "High income is not as good as high age, and high age is not as good as high spirits."
     Generally speaking, the rich are happier because money can buy them goods and services and it is the
consumption (消费) of these materials that increases one's enjoyment of life. Especially nowadays, money
seems to be one thing that drives the people around. "Human beings live for money while birds die for food."
-a well-known Chinese saying is quite quotable (适宜引用的) to explain the present society. Some people try
every means to make money at the cost of others' interests. These people harm others to benefit themselves.
They think the more money they make, the happier they will be.
     In addition to money, people's happiness was affected by other factors. High age is what many Chinese
are dreaming of. Longevity is the very term that people often use to pray for their dears and elders. So there
are many books and theories that introduce the way of living longer. Dancing, jogging, dieting, even singing
and shouting together are said to do good to one's health.
     However, some people think that high spirits is the most important to the quality of one's life. If you are
in high spirits, you'll find everything pleasing and comfortable in life: warm sunshine, blue sky, white clouds,
happy birds, comfortable breeze (gentle wind), sweet smiles, and so on. You seem to have friends across the
world. Your life will be happy at every moment. You will be in good health and can make more money if you
live longer.
     In one word, let's keep ourselves in high spirits, therefore we could keep longevity and make considerable
money at the same time.
1. The Chinese saying "Human beings live for money while birds die for food" tells us _____.
A. people make money by all means at the cost of everything
B. to live is to make more money
C. the more money people make, the longer they will live
D. people will die for making more money, just as birds die for food
2. The reason why the rich are happier is that _____.
A. they have the hobby of saving money
B. they can gain all the things in the world
C. the consumption can increase their enjoyment of life
D. they help the poor by giving them a lot of money
3. The author thinks that _____ is the most important.
A. the quality of one's life
B. high spirits
C. high age
D. high income
4. As the passage describes, people usually make wishes for their dears and elders to have _____.

     Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back. That is
why some friendships do not last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must
learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend treat you. Learning to be a good friend
means learning three rules. Be honest; be generous; be understanding.
     Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do
not tell the truth, people usually find it out. If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest, you
may lose your friends' trust. Good friends always believe in one another as they always speak and
act honestly.
     Generosity means sharing, which makes a friendship grow. People do not have to give lunch
money for clothes, of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your
hobbies and your interest. Then, naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These
can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them,
you help your friend know you better.
     Sooner or later, every one needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go
wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can
be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must
try to put yourself in your friend's place so you can understand the problem better.
     No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common.
If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding.

1. Some friendships don't last very long because _______.
A. there are too many people who want to make friends with others.
B. those who never give others friendships receive no friendship from others.
C. people usually find out the truth even if they are not told the truth.
D. they don't know friendship is something very serious to other people.
2. The underlined word "generous" means _______.
A. willing to give and share        
B. short of honor
C. soft and friendly    
D. ready to help others
3. According to the passage honesty is _______.
A. something very good            
B. the base of friendship
C. as important as money     
D. more important than anything
4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Always tell your friend the truth that you have known.
B. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.
C. Discussing problems with your friends helps solve them.
D. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.

     Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime "business
hours" are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week
have become irrelevant (不相关的). A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong
and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the
boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.
     The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used
to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week
should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more "flexible" is often debated. How should
we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we
live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
     These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the "law of
time" even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number
of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer (学监),
we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents' demand rather than to the
law. As adults we are familiar with "extra pay for overtime working.", but less familiar with the fact that what
constitutes (构成) "overtime" is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-
saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves; "Here is the law in action"? As we shall see, there is a lot of
law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and
daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on.
Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
1. By saying "Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be," the writer means that _____.
A. work time is equal to rest time
B. many people have a day off on Monday
C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear
2. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _____.
A. fail to make full use of their time
B. enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C. are unaware of the law of time
D. welcome flexible working hours
3. According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they _____.
A. need to acquire knowledge
B. have to obey their parents
C. need to find companions
D. have to observe the law
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Our life is governed by the law of time.
B. How to organize time is not worth debating.
C. New ways of using time change our society.
D. Our time schedule is decided by social customs.
