A

Chinese New Year is approaching and preparations are underway around the world.

Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.

London

Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become

a

center

for

the

Chinese

community

during

the

1950s,

London’s

Chinatown

is

a

perfectly

formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with

red

lanterns

(

灯笼

),

previous

years

have

seen

shows

with

acrobatics

(

杂技

),

martial

arts

(

武术

), dance and opera nearby.

San Francisco

San Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most fam

ous in the United States. The

city

was

the

main

entry-point

for

Chinese

who

had

crossed

the

Pacific

to

the

USA

during

the

early

19th

century.

Between

the

Grant

Avenue

and

the

Stockton

Street,

this

historic

area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate

Bridge.

Bangkok

With an about 100-year-

old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains

complex

streets

offering

all

kinds

of

tasty

treats,

clothes,

toys

and

antiques.

Sunday

market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The

area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.

Mauritius

Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich

multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by

settlers

from

China,

its

tiny

shops

and

restaurants

serve

locals

and

visitors.

During

the

Chinese

Spring

Festival,

the

most

exciting

sight

is

the

Dragon

Dances

on

Rue

Royale

when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the

streets.

1. According to the text, which of the following has the longest history?

A. London’s Chinatown.

B. Bangkok’s

Chinatown.

C. Mauritius’s Chinatown.

D. San Francisco’s

Chinatown.

2. What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown?

A. It is crowded with Chinese restaurants. B. It is well-known for its gold

business.

C. It was the major entrance for the Chinese.D. It is where you can enjoy fireworks.

3. If you want to enjoy the Dragon Dances, you can go to ______.

A. Rue Royale in Port Louis, Mauritius.

B. the Sunday market in Bangkok.

C.

the

Grant

Avenue

in

San

Francisco.

D.

the

Chinese

community

in

London.

B

It

is

not

only

praise

or

punishment

that

determines

a

child’s

level

of

confidence

.

There are some other important ways we shape our kids ----particularly by giving

instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example,

we can say to a child “Don’t run into traffic!”

o

r “Stay on the footpath close

to

me.”

In

us

ing

the

latter,

you

will

be

helping

your

kids

to

think

and

act

positively,

and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do,

and aren’t scaring themselves about what not to do.

Actually,

it

is

all

in

the

way

the

human

mind

works.

What

we

think,

we

automatically

rehearse (

预演

). For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think

of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn’t be able to do it. When a child is

- 2 -

told

“Don’t

fall

off

the

tree,”

he

will

think

of

two

things:

“don’t”

and

“fall

off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the

tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more

likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “Hold on to

the tree carefully.”

Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.

Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger

in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive

. “Sam, hold on

firm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don’t you dare to fall

out of the boat” or worse still “How do you think I’ll feel if you drown” The

changes are small but the difference is obvious.

Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them

with our words, so it pays to be positive.

4. Positive choice of words helps kids to __________.

A. do things carefully B. build up their confidence

C. improve their imagination D. learn in different situations

5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2_________

A. A child will act on what is instructed

B.

One can’t help imagining what is heard.

C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.

D. One won’t think of a blue monkey when given money.

6. Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe

A. Fasten your seat belt.

B. Don’t play by the lake.

C. How do you think I’ll feel if you get hurt

D. Don’t you dare to walk through the red light

7. The main idea of the passage is that __________.

A. praise makes kids confident B. right instructions keep kids safe

C. clear commands make kids different D. positive instructions guide kids

C

Dormitory management officials in universities say that lately they are noticing

something

different:students

seem

to

lack

the

will

and

skill

to

address

their

ordinary

conflicts. “We have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in

- 3 -

the

same

room,”

says

a

teacher.

“So

many

of

our

roommate

conflicts

are

because

kids

don’t know how to negotiate.”

(

协商）

And as many psychologists will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent

unhappiness

that

can

boil

over

into

frustration

and

anger.

“

At

Florida

University，

emotional outbreaks occur about once a week

，” the dormitory director says. “It

used to be: ‘ Let’s sit down and talk about it,’” he says. “Recently，

roommate

conflicts have increased. The

students

don’t have the person

-to- person discussions

and they don’t know how to handle them.” The problem is most impressive among

freshmen; dormitory officials say some students even never seem to catch on till

graduation, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after

college.

Administrators

suppose

that

relying

on

cell

phones

and

the

Internet

may

have

made

it

easier

for

young

people

to

avoid

uncomfortable

meetings.

Why

express

anger

in

person

when you can do it in a text? Facebook makes the situation worse as complaints go

public. “Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook:‘Oh,my roommate kept me

up

all

night

studying,”’

says

Dana

Pysz,an

ass

istant

director

in

the

housing

office

at California University. ‘‘ It’s a different way to express their conflicts to

each other. ” In recent group discussions at North Carolina State University,

students said they would not even accuse the noisy neighbors on their floor face to

face.

Administrators also point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems

in

their

entire

lives.

Now

in

college,

the

children

lack

the

skills

to

attend

to

even

modest

conflicts.

Would

these

parents

continue

to

take

care

of

everything

on

campus?

. What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. To greet someone with a tide or name. B. To start trying to solve a problem.

C. To put an address on an envelope. D. To make a formal speech.

9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Students handled it directly when they were in conflict.

B. Parents are the main factor to make their children lose the skills.

C. Cellphones are to blame in the students’ conflicts in their dormi

tories.

D.

Unhappy

and

cornered

emotions

resulted

in

quarrels

between

students

once

a

week.

10.

What

do

we

learn

from

the

group

discussions

at

North

Carolina

State

University?

A. Students are always angry with each other.

B. Students have to bear noises from neighbors.

C. Students may be not good at negotiating in person.

D. Students are brought up self-centered.

11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A

. Students’ Unhappy Life in University

B. Parents’ Attentio n in Children’s Life

C. Students’ Failure to Deal with Conflicts

D. Teachers’ Concerns about Students

D

Many people have bought insurance

（保险）

, either life or property (

财产

),

commercial or compulsory. Yet some people know little about it and some even

misunderstand its nature and function.

Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some

sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire;

the shipowner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that

he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every

house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put

a small amount of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the

few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the

contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the

contribution are known as the insured and those who manage

the pool of

contributions

as insurers.

The

legal

basis

of

all

insurance

is

the

policy.

This

is

a

printed

form

of

contract

on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay

an amount of which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay an amount

of money or compensation for losses if the risk or event insured against actually

happens.

The

premium

for

insurance

naturally

depends

upon

how

likely

the

risk

is

to

happen,

as

suggested

by

past

experience.

If

companies

fix

their

premiums

too

high,

there

will
