Chinese has a history of thousands of years. But Pinyin doesn’t. It tells people how to pronounce(发音) Chinese words. This year, Pinyin turns 62 years old.

In 1958, Chinese linguist(语言学家) Zhou Youguang and his team made Pinyin. Before that, Chinese people used many other ways to show how to pronounce Chinese words. But these ways are not as easy to use as Pinyin. Because of Pinyin, more people learn how to read.

Pinyin is a big part of our daily life. We learn to speak Putonghua with the help of Pinyin. We write Chinese characters on computers by using Pinyin.

Pinyin is young. But it is now very popular outside China. It is becoming a bridge between China and the world. Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by learning Pinyin. You might say “nihao” to mean “hello” to a foreign friend.

People are using Pinyin more often than before. For example, fewer foreigners use “dumplings”. They like to use “jiaozi”. And “mantou” is for “steamed-bun”. The Oxford English Dictionary (《牛津英语词典》) has more than 100 Chinese words in Pinyin, such as zhongguomeng for “Chinese dream”, and wanggou for “online shopping”.

34．Chinese people began to use Pinyin ________.

A．hundreds of years ago                          B．thousands of years ago

C．62 years ago                                        D．a few years ago

35．Paragraph 3 tells us ________.

A．why people started using Pinyin            B．how people started using Pinyin

C．what people use Pinyin for                   D．what will happen to Pinyin

36．Which of the following is TRUE about the article?

A．Pinyin helps foreigners learn Chinese.   B．Pinyin has hundreds of English words.

C．Pinyin is as old as Chinese words.         D．Pinyin is as easy as English words.

37．This passage is most probably from ________.

A．a weather report                                  B．a magazine

C．a travel record                                     D．an advertisement

Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. Career（ 职业的） women are healthier than housewives.

Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel them happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss（丧失）of work means the loss of everything. It affects man’s spirit and it will cause more illnesses.

Besides, work gives one a sense of hope and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status（形象） in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond（ 超越） words.

From the above, we can come to a conclusion； the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be.

38．How will people feel when they have nothing to do from the passage?

A．Relaxed and excited.                            B．Happy but bored.

C．Worried and unhappy.                          D．Relaxed but unhealthy.

39．Who are the real happiest people?

A．Those who are rich.                             B．Those who are friendly.

C．Those who are famous.                         D．Those who are busy.

40．The underlined word”it”in the passage means?

A．the loss of happiness.                           B．the loss of work.

C．the loss of energy.                                D．the loss of health.

41．What’s the main idea of this passage?

A．I you are happy, you will have more work to do.

B．If you are healthy, you will have more work to do.

C．The more you work, the happier you will be.

D．The more work you do, the more money you will have.

D

There is an old Italian tradition called “suspended (待用) coffee”. There you pay for two cups of coffee but only take one, so that someone can go into the cafe and enjoy the other coffee for free. This way, no-money people can still enjoy coffee.

Now, this model is catching on in China. It is “suspended fast food. ” Many people think it’s a great way to help someone who is more disadvantaged (劣势的) than us. On the other hand, some people don’t think it’s a good idea. They don’t know if these people taking the meals are really in need of help or just out for a free lunch. Also, how do we know the restaurant owners won’t just pocket (隐藏) the money and give out (分发) the food?

This is really a trust issue. In fact it’s sometimes difficult to decide if we should give a beggar (乞丐) on the street a little money. Maybe they really need our help; it’s also possible that they aren’t really homeless but just don’t want to work.

But all in all, hopefully we can trust those enough to do the right thing.

42．Who can enjoy suspended coffee in the country?

A．Every person.   B．The rich.                C．The old.                 D．The poor.

43．For suspended fast food which of the following do people worry about?

① Some are just out for a free lunch.            ② Some people don’t pay for the meals.

③ The restaurant owners don’t give out the food.    ④ There will be more and more homeless people.

A．①②                B．①③                      C．①③④                   D．①②③④

44．What does the underlined words “trust issue” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是) ？

A．Eating habit.    B．Honesty problem.    C．Big decision.           D．Clever idea.

45．What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

A．We shouldn’t believe the beggar.

B．We have to make sure who are homeless.

C．We can trust those enough to do the right thing.

D．What is “suspended fast food”.

How to Start and Keep a Good Conversation Going

How to Start a good conversation

“Hi，my name is Sara．”“I’m Frank. Nice to meet you．”

Introductions，like the one above，are a great way to begin a good conversation．When you introduce yourself，be confident and comfortable．That will make others comfortable，too．After the introduction，wait a bit．If the other person doesn’t ask a question，you ask one．Starting with a question shows interest in the other person．You could ask” What do you do?”or“How do you know our host?” But asking something a little different shows you are clearly different．“What did you do last weeked?”and“Have you seen any good movies recently?” are two topics you could ask about．Another good way to start with is” Tell me about yourself．”Most people love talking about themselves．

How to keep a good conversation going

As the other person begins to answer your question，look for the same opinion．If you ask about last weekend，the person could talk about a bike ride they took．When the person finishes his opinions，you could mention an experience that you had with biking．You can then move on to discussing other sports the person may be interested in．

When the other person is talking，be interested in them．Listen carefully to their answers．Don’t look around the room．That gives the other person the message that you are not really interested in them．

If you are answering the question，don’t go on and on．Answer the question and then stop．A good conversation is like a tennis game where the ball goes back and forth．

With some practice，you’ll be able to start and keep a conversation going with anyone！
