A
When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.
When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.
Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.”
As long as I can remember, she didn’t even dr ink Indian tea.
I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.
At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country.
How things change! And how soon!
Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.
The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资)and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.
But it’s a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Rangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.
No wonder that trade , which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US$15 billion for last year and US$illion by , a goal set by both governments,
No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian(中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.
But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.
1. Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?
A. She was tired of Indian tea.
B. She had a son working in China.
C. She believed it had a curing effect.
D. She was fond of Chinese products.
2. What does the author mean by “it’s a two-way street”?
A. China and India have different traffic rules.
B. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.
C. Chinese products are popular in both China and India.
D. The exchanges between India and China benefit both.
3. What do we know about the Indian IT industry?
A. It will move its head office to Shenzhen.
B. It is seeking further development in China.
C. It has attracted an investment of US$15 billion.
D. It caught up with the US IT industry in.
4. In the text the author expresses _____.
A. his concern for his mother’s health
B. his support for drinking Chinese green tea
C. his surprise at China’s recent development
D. his wonder at the growth of India’s IT industry

Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public realize that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability: You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles. Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely,
Kristi Holl, Instructor

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later I returned to school——walking on my own!
When the Great Depression(大萧条)hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra$2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆)for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the
word-Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

A. caring
B. moving

9. According to the author, who played the most important role in making him back to school again?

Begging problem
Beggars are often seen sitting under blankets with heads sadly bowed as people pass them by in Cambridge’s market center．Some ask people passing by for change and some just sit and wait to be given money．A few use aggressive behavior to earn money．
To solve the problem of aggressive begging，an“alternative giving”plan has been suggested．Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station．It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless causes．
Supporters of this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars’ alcohol and drug problems．But the police oppose the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality( 犯罪) to feed their addictions．The homeless charity “Crisis”said the success of any plan will depend on its style．They think that imaginative and positive plans can help create local
understanding and sympathy instead of hardness．Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers，food，and clothes．
Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries．Governments must play a big role in solving this problem．Training beggars to work and helping them to find appropriate jobs is one option．This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist．The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous，but as people who need understanding and help．

作文范文：
Dear Paul,
Recently my family is planning to improve our housing conditions. We have different ideas about whether we should buy a house in the suburbs or a flat in this downtown. Some suggest we buy a modern flat because it’s big and bright, and it’s conveniently located, close to shops and schools.
However, the others are in favor of the old—style house. They consider the air is fresh and it’s peaceful to live in the suburbs. What’s more, the price is much lower. The most important thing is that neighbors have more chances to communicate with each other to make a harmonious living atmosphere.
But to me ------
Yours
Xiao Ming。
