However, when foreigners like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food, their impression of it is different to what you might think. Growing up in the UK, the Chinese food I was used to eating was food I now recognize as being from Guangdong. For example, a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet and sour sauce, probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants to the UK have come from Guangdong. British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing, though. Chinese-American chef Ken Hom has been on British TV for 30 years, and he told BBC Food: “Chinese food at the beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork, mainly. Most Brits had a very fixed view of Chinese food. But now you are seeing more regional Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Cantonese food.” Similarly, to most Americans, Chinese food doesnt go too far past orange chicken and fortune cookies, but more regional foods are becoming successful, especially in big cities like New York. Attitudes have not quite changed completely, though. Many foreigners who live in China will be familiar with this question from a relative back at home: “Have they given you dog yet?” Yes, perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture, many people believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat. And of course, some people do eat dogs, which to Americans is like “eating a member of ones family” according to Vision Times. Also, Chinese people eat many other things people in the West do not chicken claws, duck heads and some animals organs. But what do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food? Youll be glad to know that in my experience, the impressions have been very good.21. What made it possible for the writer to eat Cantonese food? A. The delicious taste of Cantonese food.B. The writers preference for sweet food. C. The easy way of cooking Cantonese food. D. The coming of Chinese immigrants from Guangdong.22. Which of the following statement is right? A. The writer has very good impressions of Chinese food. B. Americans think Chinese may eat a member of ones family. C. Foreigners attitudes towards Chinese food have changed entirely. D. More regional foods are becoming successful only in big cities like New York.23. The following paragraphs will probably be talking about . A. the writers experience of eating Chinese foodB. Chinese peoples impressions of foreign food C. how to appreciate Chinese food D. how to cook Chinese foodBAfter traveling to several places and visiting a good portion of 5 markets, Ive begun the process of learning how to bargain. However, it is important to realize that bargaining is not a skill you can perfect. It is a piece of art work that will never be completed. However, Ive taken the time to share what I know about bargaining.Walk into a shop and look around. If I see something I like, (for instance, let s say it s a bag), I quickly glance over it and focus on something else. At this point, the vendor (卖主) will ask me, “You like? I give you good price.” In response I shake my head and move on. Now, I look at the bag that caught my eye and make sure that its worth buying. I continue to look around but now I take the time to examine the vendors personality. If the vendor is a boy then things will not be easy. Boys are the most difficult to bargain with because they want as much money as they can get. However, if the vendor is a girl I focus on her face and her clothes. If her face seems satisfied and in a good mood, I continue to look around because she will most probably be flexible in bargaining. If shes scowling, I just get out of there as fast as I can. Bargaining with an angry vendor is as frightening as being put into a ring with a sumo-wrestler(相扑运动员). After observing her face I then glance over her clothes. If shes wearing casual jeans, a shirt, and working shoes that means shes hardworking and simple. If she is wearing relatively nice clothes, that means shell probably be greedy when telling me the price because shell want to spend as much money as she can to get more clothes. Now lets say I want to buy the bag but by the looks of the vendor, I am obviously at a disadvantage. I quickly ask the price, tell her to give me his or her last price, tell her my last price and then walk out.24. It can be inferred that the author . A. is tired of shoppingB. is an expert at bargaining C. tries to seek inspiration from bargaining D. will never buy anything from a boy vendor25. After making sure the bag is worth buying, the writer continues to look around in order to . A. pretend not to be interested in it B. have a second thought to make the final decision C. see whether there are also other things attracting her D. work out the vendors characteristics by observing the vendor carefully26. What does the underlined word “scowling” mean? A. Stubborn B. AngryC. Greedy D. Mean27. According to the writer, we may probably get a good bargain from . A. a satisfied boy vendor B. an easy-going boy vendor C. a happy and well-dressed girl vendor D. a casually and simply dressed girl vendor CWonderful Friends, a 3-month-long reality show on Hunan TV, came to an end on March 28th. But the debate it raised is far from dying out.The weekly show interactions between animals and six celebrities (名人) working as zookeepers in Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou. The show is a programming success for Hunan TV.“People are more interested in TV shows with celebrities than in documentaries,” animal protection expert Deng Xuejian told Netease News. “The program is a good way to get people closer to animals.”However, animal welfare advocates (提倡者) say that is exactly what should be avoided. “It is hugely misleading to the public about the needs and welfare ofcagedanimals,” Dave Neale of Animals Asia, anadvocacygroup based in Hong Kong, said in a statement. In one scene a babychimpwas placed near its father to demonstrate that the older animal would treat the infant as a stranger. The baby becomes annoyed and thechimps father appears anxious and throws a rock at the TV crew. The TV company created “stressful (有压力的) and harmful situations” to make entertaining stories, said the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.Despite the criticism, Animals Asia founder and CEO Jill Robinson has witnessed a significant rise in the number of Chinese citizens showing concern for animal welfare. But a lack of knowledge about animals habits and needs may lead to some wrongs.“Many people may think gettinghugsis an expression of love. What they dont realize is wild animals need space,” Xie Yan, a zoologist and China director of the US-based Wildlife Conservation Society, told The New York Times. “Putting clothes on chimps is not as lovely as you may think from the animals point of view.” Teaching chimps to dress could harm their health because it may raise their body temperature and also mentally puzzle them. In the world, its a common practice to use celebrities to focus public attention on wildlife protection. Yao Ming, for example, traveled to Africa last year to shoot a documentary for Wild Aid which made people aware of the problem of elephant and rhinoceros hunting. But in Yaos case, human observers kept their distance, according to The New York Times. The debate has also gotten young people thinking. “Who doesnt want to make friends with those cute animals who melt your heart? But we should put ourselves in their shoes: Is this love what they need?” said Liu Yi, a 19-year-old animal medicine student at Qingdao Agricultural University.28. Animal welfare advocates are against the reality show because . A. animals may get hurt in the show B. it gets animals too close to each other C. what people do in it actually does harm to the animals D. some of the celebrities dont know how to take care of the animals29. If you are concerned about the welfare of animals, you should . A. always keep close observation and take photos of them B. show you love by hugging and touching them C. keep your distance while observing them D. dress them the way they like30. According to the passage, towards the reality show on Hunan TV, the author shows . A. pleasureB. confidenceC. disinterestD. dissatisfaction 31. Which is the best tile for the passage? A. No more reality shows! B. Making friends or doing harm? C. Protect animals? Leave them alone!D. Work together then difference made!DSpring is coming! It is time to pack up and go out. Dont miss out on the Shanghai-Kunming high-speed railway. It is one of the longest high-speed railways (2,264 km). Just like “The True North” in Canada, the high-speed railway connects six provinces across eastern and western China. The section from Shanghai to Changsha is already open, and the entire railway is to open in 2016. But we cant wait to take a look at some of the best tourist stops along the line. Our first stop is Shanghai. The Huangpu River is a classic spot to get a birds-eye view of the whole city. Located along the Huangpu River, the Bund (Waitan) shows off Shanghais outstanding foreign buildings, most of which were built before 1937. To the Europeans, the Bund was Shanghais answer to Wall Street. Foodies cant miss the snack street Town Gods Temple (Chenghuangmiao) where you can find all kinds of delicious food. It only takes about 50 minutes to get to Hangzhou from our first stop. Its a good idea to rent a bike or walk around the West Lake surrounded by greenery and beautifully carved pavilions(亭子). Many ancient water towns like Zhouzhuang and Wuzhen offer well-protected architecture built in the Ming and Qing dynasties. When it comes to Jiangxi, the first city that comes to mind may be Nanchang, the provincial capital. Lushan Mountain and Poyang Lake are completely must-sees if you get off the train at Jiangxi stop. Going west, you will arrive in Guizhou province, which is an increasingly popular tourist spot with its agreeable climate and rich cultural heritage. Huangguoshu Waterfall, Chinas largest waterfall, lets you feel the magic of nature. Yichun, a city located in the northwest of Guizhou, has rich hot springs. It is warm and comfortable during any season.The final destination is Kunming, a city with spring-like weather all year around. The Stone Forest, a large group of limestone outcroppings, has been eroded(侵蚀) into strange shapes and regarded as one of the worlds natural wonders. With more than twenty ethnic groups living all over the province, almost every city in Yunnan province shows quite different folk customs. The stops along the line will never fail to provide you with a feast for eyes whether you are looking for wonderful landscapes or the cultural heritage. Are you ready for a travel across China by rail? 32. The underlined word “Foodies” in the second paragraph probably refer to . A. people who provide food for Town Gods Temple B. people who are good at cooking all kinds of food C. people who take charge of Town Gods Temple D. people who consider eating a great pleasure 33. Which cities mentioned in the text enjoy a mild weather throughout the year? A. Yichun and Hangzhou. B. Hangzhou and Kunming. C. Kunming and Yichun. D. Nangchang and Yichun. 34. According to the text, it is safe to say that . A. many foreign buildings are still perfectly kept in ancient water towns B. Shanghai-Kunming high-speed railway is completely open now C. you can experience different folk customs in Yunnan province D. Guizhou province has the largest hot spring area in China35.

Mrs Nixon immediately seized up on the topic with great joy and even let out the secret that they had been practicing using chopsticks in the White House for their visit to China. For half a year the Nixons had been using chopsticks instead of knives and forks for their meals. 38 The success and fame of a statesman is fully proved when he is praised by his host for involving himself into the culture of the country he is visiting.Unimportant as the technique of using chopstick may appear, it takes much time and hard work for a westerner to master it if he doesnt want to make a fool of himself. President Nixon has taken the matter very seriously. He had asked the president of Pakistan about what kind of chopsticks were used at the state banquets in Beijing and how many courses there usually were. 39 40 So his visit was not an official state visit, but he was serious about every single minor detail. Later US presidents visiting China followed his example and paid special attention to minor details.A. And then, he started to seriously practice with similar chopsticks and to hold dress rehearsals. B. Nothing gave the Nixons delight than to be praised by their host for their skill in using chopsticks.C. All the meals among the US officials were served with chopsticks. D.
