This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs（关税）on Chineseproducts. Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China. Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9,2019,and the reason is that U.S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried.

Lawrence1-5DBCAD（四）Many people love travelling to different countries, but if you plan to go abroad, you should know how to behave in different situations around the world. Most travelers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude without saying anything. In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway, and if youre travelling in Thailand, never touch peoples heads or point your feet at people. When the Japanese meet new people, they like giving business cards-but you should read the card carefully, not just put it in your pocket。In most countries in Europe people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. And in South America people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA you need to give people more personal space. Also, its rude to interrupt Japanese people while they are talking to you. You must wait until they finish before you start speaking.In restaurants in China you can leave a bit of food on your plate, its OK to start smoking before other people finish eating, which you mustnt do in the UK. When in India, remember to eat with your right hand. Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia-thats bad luck.When youre travelling in Asia, if someone invites you to his or her home, don t forget to take off your shoes when you arrive. And if you visit an Arab familys home, dont admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present.With so much to think about, its not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries- or you might just decide to stay at home.1.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.We can admire anything valuable in an Arab familys home.B.In China，people cannot smoke before other people finish eating.C.In Russia，its impolite to shake hands with people in a doorway.2.

Should students wear school uniforms? The Young World magazine held a discussion on this topic（话题）.Kennedy: The school uniform is very important, because it always reminds me that I am supposed to go out of my way to study hard. It also helps prevent school bullying（欺凌）. If everyone wears the same clothes, it is impossible to laugh at other peoples clothing. Manson: The uniform has to be earned（获得）through efforts. Students should start school with no uniforms. As they make progress at school, they start wearing it. I always think children need to be proud of their school. The uniform is important for that. So, make students earn it! If they dont perform well, they should not be allowed to get one.Moorhead: In my opinion, kids dont have to wear uniforms. There should be more choices open to kids in education. They ought to develop their own independence and just be themselves. Their personalities would be expressed through their own clothes at school. And different dress could be one way of showing their understanding of beauty. Besides, they make the school lively and colorful.Patrick: I can see the advantages of wearing school uniforms. They play a very important role in managing schools. However, a school should not depend heavily on uniforms to improve students behaviors. Teaching them how to express themselves with confidence（信心）is more important. 1What does the writer mean to do in Paragraph 1?APresent an opinion on a subject.

Luckily, we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and GetAbstract to provide abstracts (梗概) of a text. Abstracts are useful tools, especially for students, but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you, you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original (原来的) text of yourself.I recently finished reading a thick book of W. Somerset Maughams collected short stories. It took me around ten years to get through. Thomas Manns difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read; Ayn Rands Atlas Shrugged made me very bored most of the time. Reading a book, whether it is good or bad, is a formative (建设性的) experience. There are plenty of books which I probably shouldnt have taken the time to read. But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort.Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it, I like to sit there and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia (怀旧之情) and pride. I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf. When I step back and look at the books on my shelf, it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived.Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end, but reading the actual (真正的) book is something much richer. Reading, like anything else in life, is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination (目的地).1. What does the writer mainly want to say?A. Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature.B. Reading abstracts cannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading.C. Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages.D. The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading.2. What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph?A. He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories.B. A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him.C. He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books.D. He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book.3. In the third paragraph the writer _ his main point of view (主要观点).A. explains the meaning of B. provides further support forC. makes a conclusion of D. offers an opposite example for, 1 DCB（七）You think its cool to carry your backpacks and head out to school.
