A

Half a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the flat next door to me．I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always yelling at them．We often met, I always greeted them, but the only answer I ever got was a “hello” from the eight-year-old girl．

One day when I returned from the hospital, the family were just leaving their flat and the little girl was holding the outside gate open for the others．I stayed in the car doing unnecessary things．The parents were telling her to hurry．I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me．I hurried as much as I could and thanked her．She was smiling from ear to ear.

That afternoon I was at the supermarket and saw a white teddy bear．I thought of the little girl and said to myself, “I’m sure she would like it.” So I bought it for her.

The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father．She was so proud of her bear and thanked me．Then I noticed her mother and

the other children were there in the hall, too．Now when we meet in the hall, we all speak in a friendly manner．

Last night there was a heavy snow．The temperature was below zero．I wondered how to go to my doctor’s without a car because I can only walk for a short time and then have to rest for a while．I looked out of the window, thinking what I could do．To my great surprise, there was no snow on my car at all! I was even more surprised to see the lovely girl standing by the gate with an old broom.

Isn’t it amazing that the small kind act of an eight-year-old girl can change so many things for the better?

The label（标签）, Made in China, is one that is becoming increasingly common in shopping centers all over the world.

In the United States, shoppers at Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest retailer（零售商）, have a wide selection of products mostly produced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to

buy more and more products made in China. These goods are even widely available in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China.

When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, gifts from the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren’t rare any more, and anything “Made in China” shouldn’t be considered in any case.

“When I decide to visit my family members in China, I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words,” a Chinese American said. “When they see the label ‘Made in China’, they will think, ‘Why do you send me this?’ ”

The development of China has surprised the world with its growth. As a result, the other countries are beginning to try to reduce Chinese goods with the use of taxes（税）and import restrictions. However, the development on the Chinese economy still affects the world in many ways.

（ ）6. Around the world, the products made in China are ________ in the shopping malls.

A. unwelcome

B. expensive

C. popular

D. rare

（ ）7. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “brand” in the second paragraph? A. 品牌。

B. 明星。

C. 生产地。

D. 树枝。

（ ）8. Why do Chinese Americans usually have a headache if they come back to China? A. Because their Chinese friends can not speak English.

B. Because their friends will be unhappy if the gifts are made in China. C. Because they should give their friends rare gifts. D. Because they should give their friends fashionable gifts.

（ ）9. How do other countries try to reduce the Chinese goods in their own

countries?

A. By developing the qualities of their own products. B. By telling their shoppers not to buy Chinese goods C. By importing more Chinese goods. D. By using taxes and import restrictions.

（ ）10. From the passage, we can know that________.

A. products made in China are more and more popular all over the world B. TVs and fashionable clothes are ideal gifts for Chinese people C. everyone in China can speak English

D. the other governments don’t welcome any Chinese goods

C

Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service(社区服务). Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question:\you here?\

The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked towards me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature. I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.

A teacher stopped this awkward(尴尬的)silence when she shouted at the boy. \are you doing right here, right now?\if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!\\he cried fearfully and nervously. I said never mind, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents.

She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the love from his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.

I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked at the beginning of the day.

Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know they are loved by people. ( )11.Why did the writer get angry?

A. Because a boy held the writer's hands.

B. Because the writer did not like to taste nature. C. Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground. D. Because a boy was impolite to the writer.

( )12.The underlined word \ A. hurt B. left C. sold D. forgotten ( )13.From the passage we can learn that the writer . A. helped so many people in the world B. played with the lonely boy after lunch C. learned the meaning of community service

Papua New Guinea is a country in the Pacific Ocean, just to the north of Australia. It is made up of half the island of New Guinea, as well as hundreds of other smaller islands. Most of the country is very hilly and covered in thick rainforest. Papua New Guinea is also home to many kinds of cultural groups. Its population is made up of people from around 1000 different cultural groups who speak more than 800 different languages. Papua New Guinea is unusual in the world today because most of its people are indigenous (土生土长的), and they still mainly follow traditional lifestyles. In modern times, Papua New Guinea has had very little migration, and, in some remote places, its people have had very little or no contact(联系) with people from other countries. As a result, the lives of many of its indigenous peoples have not been changed a great deal by the outside world.
