21、

Ever since ancient times, it’s been important to keep in mind proper gift-giving manners when giving presents to your Chinese friends or family. If you don’t know much about traditional Chinese gifting customs, it could end up making you, or the receiver, feel bad. So, what should you pay attention to when choosing the right gift?

To begin with, there are a few key factors to consider(考虑). Firstly, because mianzi (giving and saving face) is important in Chinese culture, it’s necessary to consider the cost of the gift won’t make the receiver feel uncomfortable. Secondly, you should choose a useful gift. Thirdly, avoid gifts that are considered unlucky, like clocks, umbrellas and pears. In Chinese, “to give a clock “sounds like” to attend a funeral”, “umbrella” sound like” split up, “ and “pear” sounds like “to leave.”

In addition, it’s important to understand the types of gifts that are usually exchanged in China. The first is fresh fruit and flowers. Fruit and flowers are popular in most situations. The second common gift is tea in an attractive tin or wrapper(包装). The third common gift is red envelopes filled with cash. These are often given out for birthdays, weddings and the Spring Festival. Six, eight and nine are considered lucky numbers in China, while four is considered unlucky because it sounds like “death. “ The fourth common gift in China is plants. If your Chinese friend just moved to a new home or spends a lot of time in their office, a plant is a good choice for a gift.

Finally, it’s important to be mindful when choosing the color of your gift. During happy occasions, Chinese people prefer the color red because it means cheer, fortune and good luck. During funerals, white and black colors are used to express remembrance and respect.

If you’re planning to give a gift to a Chinese person, keep in mind the above as a helpful guide. No matter what kind of gift you give, it’s always the thought that counts.

【1】Which of the following is the proper gift for visiting a friend in China?

A．A beautiful clock.

B．Some fresh fruit and flowers.

C．A red envelope with ￥444 in it.

D．Some tea without a tin or wrapper.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．You can send a plant to your friend when he moves to a new home.

B．Pears are bad choices because “pear “sounds like “to attend a funeral”.

C．Chinese people prefer red because it means cheer, good luck and respect.

D．Red envelopes with cash are often given for funerals, birthdays and the Spring Festival.

【3】What needn’t we pay attention to when choosing the gift?

A．The price of the gift.

B．The type of the gift.

C．The colour of the gift.

D．The size of the gift.

【4】In which part of a magazine will you probably read this article?

A．History.

B．Education.

C．Culture.

D．Travel.

22、What is going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say that most likely to happen in 10-30 years from now, according to the BBC.

Bionic(仿生的)Eyes

They’re no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to see things clearly by wearing bionic eyes.

A blind eye can no longer sense sight, but a bionic eye can use a camera to *see” the environment and send information to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.

Digital Money

We used to pay with cash-for everything we bought. Now we can use We chat Pay(微信支付) or Alipay(支付宝) to shop. Money is spent without seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a mobile phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than searching our pockets for change(零钱).It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.

It is reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be the next.

Self-driving Cars

Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car can't be influenced by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to follow the rules of the road strictly and keep a safe space from other cars. This would greatly make the number of road accidents smaller. You can even take a short rest while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted(接受).

【1】Where do bionic eyes send information?

A．To the mind.

B．To the camera.

C．To the computer.

D．To the heart.

【2】Which of the following payments is NOT mentioned in this passage?

A．Cash.

B．WeChat Pay.

C．Alipay.

D．Credit Card.

【3】From the passage, what information can we learn?

A．Something about industry and farming.

B．Something about traffic and journey.

C．Something about science and technology.

D．Something about culture and art.

【4】What does the passage tell us?

A．Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction films.

B．The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.

C．Self-driving cars will be influenced by something outside.

D．There will be no accidents at all if self-driving cars are used.

【5】What can we infer from(推断) from the passage?

A．There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road.

B．Robots would control the world.

C．The blind could use glasses to see thing around.

D．We would live a hard life with digital money.

23、73-year-old David R Chan is a Chinese American from Los Angeles. 【1】 In the past forty years, he has visited about 8,000 Chinese restaurants.

Chan started to get interested in the history of Chinese in the US when he was in college. 【2】 He wanted to see what it was like to be Chinese in different parts of the country. Also, he wanted to look for his identity (身份认同).

In fact, Chan did not enjoy Chinese food the first time he tried it. 【3】 But soon he found it was delicious and how different Chinese food was in different places.

Then Chan started to try every authentic (正宗的) Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles 【4】 In the following years, he also visited New York, San Francisco and other places in the US to look for authentic Chinese food.

When Chan enjoyed food in different restaurants, he also took photos of nice dishes and shared them online. 【5】

Now Chan still keeps looking for authentic Chinese food and sharing it online. This helps him know more about Chinese history and culture.
