about the living conditions of chinese people. born in 1881 to a rich family, lu xun had a happy childhood. in 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money. at the same time, his father became seriously ill. from that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. these early experiences greatly influenced his writing. by the time lu xun arrived innanjingto study at university in 1899, he already believed that chinese society had to change and become modern. in 1902 he went to study injapan. there, he began writing articles for several chinese student magazines. he showed a gift for writing and translating(翻译) and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. he returned tochinain 1909 because he was in need of money. after working for several years as a teacher inbeijing, lu xun again returned to writing. in 1918, he wrote his famous short storydiary of a madman. it was the first chinese novel published(出版)using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success.this, together with his novelthe true story of ah q(1921), made lu xun a leading chinese writer.

wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. for this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. he was forced to write his articles using false

(紧急的) tests on all beef products. do you know why? thats because some food companies used horsemeat to make beef products. there are some examples about the horsemeat matter. in january, 2013, in a number of uk supermarkets, frozen hamburgers were found to have tracesof horsemeat in them. some frozen beef products made by food company findus were found to contain horsemeat. all of the beef products made by this company have been removed(撤回) from sale. the government said that theres nothing to suggest any health risk from the products. food minister david heath said people should not

look at a cause and find out what caused or influenced them to happen. sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. it may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning(推理的) skills. think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see. for example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. this is the effect. to look for a cause, think to yourself, “what would take someone put on a heavy jacket?” maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather. maybe the person works in the penguin pen(企鹅圈养地) at sea world. maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. all of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.now, think about a second example. the effect is that a boy named abi has to go to the head teachers office. what are the possible causes? maybe he bullied(欺负) another student. maybe he is just being picked up early. maybe he is being given a prize! here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, doug, came into her room. he looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it. then doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. little brothers can be very strange, but this was really much too strange. caits father appeared and explained that doug was sleepwalking(梦游). whats the cause end effect, could you tell?76. according to the second paragraph, which of the following
