One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that hed be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the caf, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary General of the United Nations (UN).Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting. It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack(背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside.

Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past twenty years, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes(孔子学院) in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the west, even if his birthday is. 8The opening paragraph is mainly intended to_.A. provide some key facts about ConfuciusB. attract the readers interest in the topicC. show great respect for the ancient thinkerD. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations9We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students_.

On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. Whats worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.In my room, Moms voice competed with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other peoples challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”.

Street art has become a global culture. Even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.Street art started very secretly because it was illegal to paint on public and private property without permission. 17 Some think it is a crime and others think it is a very beautiful new form of culture.

This colorful style of writing became known as graffiti(涂鸦), whose art showed that young people wanted to rebel against society.
