The United States is much larger and had many more resources than any Western European country.Some European people realized that the European nations need to join together tohelp each other.

When asked why she has the picture, Merkel says, “She was a strong woman”. Many say the same of Merkel. The most powerful woman in the world, according to US Forbes magazine, was in China last w eek. S he c ame t o d iscuss t rade a nd e nvironmental i ssues w ith C hina’s t op l eaders. Germany’s first woman leader is known as a brave and practical statesman(政治家).Even since her time at school, she had the habit of getting everything in order.Every day before doing her homework she would clean the desk and think about what to do next. “I prefer a long time for full preparations to make my decision. But onceI decide, I will stand up for what I believe, ”Merkel said.Perhaps it was good habits that helped her do well in her studies. At 32, she gota doctor degree in physics and then she worked as a researcher.However, t he l ife o f a s cholar c ouldn’t p ut o ff h er l ove o f p olitics. W hile w orkingin labs, Merkel took time off to read political books and at last joined a politicalparty. “Her calmness helped her stand out in the party. She could always find a wayout while others felt hopeless, ”said one of her old friends.In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, herscientific b ackground p roved v ery u seful.

In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen froma list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering howto write them.But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging onthe walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink.They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples beforecarefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adultscan survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinesetradition and culture,”she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forgetwhen they grow up.” says the teacher.32. Which of the following is closest in meaning with the underlined sentence is paragraph 2?A.Ever Chinese can write Chinese characters easily, especially with computersB.Only with the help of computers can some Chinese people write Chinese charactersC.Despite the help of computers, Chinese people have forgotten how to writeputers a re t he o nly m eans t o r ely o n t o w rite C hinese c haracters f or m any p eople33. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A.It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.B.It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.C.It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D.It draws great public attention across the country.34.Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A.Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.B.Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C.Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D.Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.35.According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is _______.A.necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB.a requirement made by the Education MinistryC.helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD.an ability to be developed only when you are studentsE根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
