BBC News on TV, radio and online often brings you stories from across the world. Today we can hear “Life in China”. Have you got a story about life in China today? If you do, please put your stories here.
Wu Peng, Anhui
I am a 14-year-old boy from a poor village in Anhui Province. Like many other left-behind children in China, I live with my grandparents now. My parents went to work in Shanghai several years ago. They call me twice a month to ask about my study. I really miss my parents and I hope I can go to school in Shanghai. I think every child needs parents’ love and care.
Cindy, Shenzhen
I like traveling and I have traveled a lot around China. During the trip, I often find that a number of Chinese often break the rules in public. For example, when I traveled in Hong Kong this year, I saw a kid eating noodles on the underground, which was against the rules. However, the kid’s mother didn’t think she did wrong. Can you believe it? Let’s improve our public manners.
Mike, Shanghai
These days, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say no to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to finish the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we leave the classroom.

A. By writing letters. B. On the telephone.
C. On the Internet. D. By sending text messages.

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you only if you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of characteristic, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to give his opinion. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need help, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humour, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!
34. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?
A. understanding. B. honesty.
C. reliability. D. a sense of humour.
35. If you have fair-weather friends, ______ .
A. they will give you all that they have when you need help
B. you will be refused when you get into trouble
C. you will become rich
D. you can be sure that you get real friends
36. Good friends need to ______.
A. always point out each other's mistakes B. be helped with money
C. understand each other's feelings D. have money or luck
37. This passage mainly discuss ______ .

C. how to get along with friends D. the importance of having a friend
C
Nearly eight hundred million people in this world cannot read or write, most of them in
10
developing countries. Two-thirds are women and girls.
John Wood who started the Room to Read campaign（运动）, has opened 1,650 schools and 15,000 libraries in some of the world’s poorest communities（社区）. He said that from the beginning, Room to Read’s goal was to reach 10 million children around the world in the poorest countries.
In 1998, on a three-week vacation journey in Nepal, Wood met a local headmaster who invited him to visit his school in a far mountain village. The experience changed Wood’s life.
“This headmaster had 450 students at the school, but he didn’t have any books,” Wood said.” He had a library that was empty.”
Wood promised to fill the library shelves and returned to the village year later with some of his friends with 3,000 books. And that was just the start. Later, Wood used some of his personal money to start Room to Read. He believes that world change begins with educated children. Today, the programme can be found in 10 countries across Asia and Africa.
Wood believes the key to the program’s success is local support .While Room to Read gives away money and provides books, communities offer land and parents help build the school. Agnes, a Room to Read teacher in Zambia who also runs the library, is proud to say the literacy at her school has improved. Room to Read’s biggest challenge is the huge need. Hundreds of communities have asked for literacy programmes. One way of Room to Read’s success is that it will achieve Wood’s goal of reaching 10 million kids by 2015, five years earlier than it is planned.
38. The purpose of the Room to Read campaign is to __________.
A. ask parents to read together with their children
B. help poor children to learn to read and write
C. tell more people the importance of reading
D. help 10 million children to go to college
39. When John Wood travelled in Nepal in 1998, he __________.
A. visited many local schools B. sent many books to local children
C. started the Room to Read campaign D. met a man who changed his life
40. The underlined part “the literacy” in the last paragraph refers to（指的是）__________.
A. the teaching conditions B. the teaching quality
C. students’ ability to read and write D. the money teachers earn every month
41. John Wood is a person that is ____________.
A. helpful and generous B. honest and brave C. careless but active D. strict but friendly
D
Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century. In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.
The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社会), Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.
In the USA, it is easy to say “No” to something one does not want to do. But in Japan, it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request(请求) with “No” is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No”
10
directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying “No”. These can help them avoid hurting other people’s feelings. However, this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.
42. What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?
A. Their different ways of doing business.
B. Their different lifestyles.
C. The fact that the Japanese never say “No”.
D. The fact that the Japanese are slow to take action.
43. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined expression “bewilder foreign businessmen” in Paragraph One?
A. cause foreign businessmen to change their minds.
B. give a feeling of surprise to foreign businessmen.
C. attract foreign businessmen’s attention.
D. make foreign businessmen think wrongly.
44. What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
A. American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones.
B. American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”.
C. Americans usually say what they are thinking.
D. Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly.
45. From the passage we can infer(推断) that __________.
A. Japanese businessmen are good at business
B. foreign businessmen should try to know Japanese ways of doing business
C. foreign businessmen must be more polite
D. you must learn from Japanese businessmen if you want to succeed

Nowadays, more and more young people are becoming too proud and over-confident. They think they can do e 66 . So they simply ignore(忽视) their old parents, and believe that their parents’ experienced thoughts are out of date. Actually I used to be one of them, but after h 67 a story told by my father, I changed my mind completely. Now I would like to s 68 it with all of you.
Once, there’s a young man w 69 looked down on the old. He always thought that the old were just nuisances (麻烦事) in your busy life, a useless life that was going to be over. He also did this to his father. One day, the father and the son happened to meet each other in the garden. The son suggested that they should take a walk t __70_ . As they walked, a beautiful garden came into their sight. The son pointed to one of the prettiest flower and said, “We young people are like this sweet flower, so healthy, so energetic, and full of spirit. What about you oldsters? Just l 71 the falling leaves from a dying tree.”

Hearing this, the father smiled but said nothing. They continued the walking in s 72 . When they passed a shop, the father stopped and went in, he bought a walnut（核桃）and showed it to his son, slow and kind, he said, “We old are like this walnut. We’ve experienced many hard events in life. So we built up such a strong shell, and at the same time we also built up a pure inner world. Every fruit is so full-grown.”
“But every fruit was born by f _73__.” Refuted(反驳) the son.
“Yes, but not every flower can bear fruit….”
From then on, I always keep this story in my m 74 . It has taught me a lot.
We should try to be a flower that can bear fruit. We also have to know that our parents aren’t nuisances, b 75 experienced walnuts, works of nature.

81. Some teachers are for it. They think that using pads in class can make students more interested in study. On the other hand, teachers can learn about what students have learned more quickly and easily so that they can teach more effectively. What’s more, with the help of pads, teachers can correct students’ homework in a short time, as a result of which, much time can be saved.
However, some parents are strongly against it. They hold the opinion that some students can’t control themselves and often play games on pads. Secondly, using pads too much does great harm to students’ eyes. What’s worse, it costs much money to buy a new Pad.
In my opinion, I think it is good for students to use pads in class. Firstly, students can learn more in class using pads. At the same time, parents and teachers should do something to help students use pads in a right way. Only in this way can pads be of help to their studies.
