Celebrated poet Wang Guozhen died of liver cancer at the age of 59 on Sunday, one month before his latest anthology of poems was to be published, according to Beijing News.

Born in 1956 and a graduate of Jinan University in Guangzhou, where he majored in literature, Wang kicked off his poetry career in 1985, when his works were frequently posted in newspapers and magazines.

His books sold so well in 1990 that the people in the publishing business called it“The year of Wang Guozhen”. The following decade witnessed an astonishing output of over 50 books.

His works such as Going the Distance and Beyond Yourself have influenced a large number of readers born in the 60s and 70s and some of his poems are still often quoted（引用）by celebrities and writers.

During a speech at the 2013 APEC CEO Summit in Indonesia, Chinese President Xi Jinping quoted a sentence from Wang’s poem, saying “There is no mountain higher than man, and no road longer than his feet”, to emphasize China’s determination regarding economic reform, which made Wang’s works more popular.

The poet’s demise has started heated discussions online, mostly about memories of his poems, nostalgia（怀念）for the golden age of poetry and the importance of this art form in the present day.

“I was inspired by his poems and copied every sentence down on my notebooks,” Wang Ling, a Sina weibo user, posted.” Although my Chinese teacher told me I might encounter greater poets as I grew up, which I did, I still miss the time when I had the patience to read poems and really believed in the ideal world built by his words.”

Ma Dayong, professor of the Literature department of Jilin University, said, “Poetry is the most beautiful and delicate form of expressing our thoughts and words. The ability to appreciate this special art requires reading, thinking, experience and especially empathy. This all takes time. But now when people have time, they go out for entertainment. Not many people are willing to slow down to read. Only at times like this, with the demise of a famous poet, do people turn back to things that used to touch their hearts.”

21. Why did people in the publishing business call 1990 “The Year of Wang Guozhen”?

A. Because his poems were popular with young people at that time. B. Because his books sold very well in 1990.

C. Because his works were frequently posted in newspapers and magazines. D. Because he had published many books.

22.What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “kicked off” in Paragraph 2?

A. Threw off B. Put off C. Started off D. Showed off

23. What is true according to the passage?

A. Wang Guozhen’s poems are often quoted by students in their exams. B. People born in 1960 and 1970 were greatly influenced by Wang Guozhen’s books. C. Wang Guozhen’s first work was posted in newspapers in 1985. D. Wang Guozhen’s poems were once read by President Xi Jinping. 24. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Appreciating poetry needs reading, thinking, experience and empathy. B. Poetry is a beautiful form of expressing thoughts and words.

C. People nowadays prefer to spend time on entertainment rather than read poetry. D. Appreciating poetry takes time.

B

Many college students complain about dorm life: a sweltering room without air-conditioning in summer and a dorm gate which is closed at 11 pm.

But they may miss their dorms after graduation, when they have to spend as much as a third of their earnings on renting a shabby room. The rising prices of daily necessities, including food, water, gas and electricity, are also making grads pinch every penny to make ends meet.

Faced with the high cost of living, college grads need to make every penny count when they budget their income. When it comes to renting, try to spend no more than one third of your income on it. Better still, only spend a quarter, according to Hao Qian, a career consultant with hiall.com.cn. Hao also reminds grads to set aside about one fifth of their income for social activities. “People have spent more on their social lives because of changes in forms of entertainment,” said Hao. For example, new friends may want to meet you at a spa club instead of at a hash house. In spite of the high cost of living, many college grads still try to stay in big cities. They usually work in industries such as finance, public relations (PR) and IT, which depend on a booming city economy and technology.

Hao advises such grads to reduce their expenditure on shopping as much as possible. “If you are not in jobs such as PR and sales which require you to dress well, you

don’t need to spend much on clothes and “accessories,” said Hao. “Spend less than one eighth of your monthly income on shopping.” 25. What do many college students usually complain about? A. their study B. their living condition C. their expenditure D. their classrooms 26. Which one is not daily necessities?

A. renting B. food and water C. gas D. electricity 27. From the opinion of Hao Qian, we can conclude that________.

A. college grads should only spend a quarter of their income on renting. B. college grads should spend one fifth of their income for social activities every month.

C. college grads working in public relations(PR) should dress well. D. college grads shouldn’t spend money on clothes. 28. What can we infer from this passage?

A. College grads don’t like their college lilfe. B. College grads can make more money in big cities.

C. Meeting a friend at a spa club would cost more than at a hash house. D. College grads like to take part in social activities. 29. This passage is mainly talking about_______.

A. the high cost of living B. college grads’ stress of living C. college students’ life D. college grads in big cities

China daily—China honored 30 veterans on Wednesday for their contributions to the country’s victory against Japanese aggression.

The ceremony at the Great Hall of the People took place a day before the victory parade in Tian’anmen Square marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.

Receiving a salute from an honor guard, President Xi Jinping approached the veterans and awarded them commemorative medals. Many of them are aged about 100 and use wheelchairs, but some of them stood and saluted.

Ten of the medals were awarded to foreign veterans or relatives of foreign soldiers who died fighting for China during World War II.

After awarding the medals, Xi said that many heroes emerged during the 14 years of resistance against Japanese aggression, including fighters from overseas countries such as Canada and India.

“A promising nation cannot go without heroes or pioneers. The Chinese people will never forget the foreign soldiers who fought for China during World War II, and the 10 foreign veterans present today are their representatives,” he said. TongRongfang,90, from Beijing said it was the happiest day of his life after he received his gold-gilt medal embossed with a design featuring the Yangtze River and an olive branch. Tong’s father, Tong Linge, was a senior general in the Kuomintang who fought during the Lugouqiao Incident, or the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. This conflict, which broke out in a Beijing suburb in July 1937, led to fullscale war between China and Japan. Tong was the first senior general who died after China mounted all out resistance against the Japanese aggression.

The younger Tong said: “My father’s contribution has been officially recognized. I’m glad the leaders have attached unprecedented (空前的)significance to the issue.”

Makhmut Gareev, a veteran of the Soviet Army, who fought against the Japanese with Chinese soldiers in Northeast China, said China was the main Eastern battlefield during the World Anti-Fascist War, and its people fought hard and heroically, playing a significant role in the victory.

The medals ceremony was the first event in the celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Then, Xi, along with more than 30 foreign leaders, will attend the V-Day parade in Tian’anmen Square on Thursday morning.
