蚕丝业的发展

Silk was discovered by the Chinese more than 3,000 years ago. It was said that the wife of the Yellow Emperor accidentally dropped a silkworm cocoon(蚕茧) into her tea. The hot water caused the cocoon to break. As it broke apart, she realized its beauty. From then, the silk industry began. At first, only the rich were allowed to wear silk.

As early as 300 AD, Chinese businessmen were seling silk to the Indians. By 200 BC, the Koreans had learned how to make silk. A 12,000­kilometre road going from China to Europe was built because of silk. From there, knowledge of silk production spread across the world.

Here's a simple version of how this amazing little thing does its work. The silkworm begins life as a moth(蛾). The moth's life is about ten days, during which it lays eggs that change into silkworms. Silkworms eat a lot. In their short lives, 20,000 silkworms will eat more than one ton of mulberry(桑树) leaves, their main food. In its final stage of life, the silkworm spins a cocoon. The finished cocoon contains 350 metres of silk. That might seem like a lot, but consider this: 5,500 silkworms have to spin 5,500 cocoons to make one kilogram of silk. People raise silkworms for silk production. The Chinese have perfected the art of making silk, gaining knowledge over many centuries.

Today, silk production remains an important economic risk in China. While versions have recently entered the market, the beauty of naturally produced silk is not matched. Silk no longer costs an arm and a leg, but it is still highly prized.

John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.

Dear David,

How time flies! It's been 3 months since I came to China. I'm having a great time on my student exchange program here. So far, I've completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I'd like to share some with you.

In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites was spread into Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft (飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.

Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn't appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world.

Lastly, I'd like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries.

If you'd like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.

Best wishes!

yours,

Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2007, Bejjing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period last year.

A new Chinese coronavirus (冠状病毒), a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected more than 40,000people since the outbreak (爆发) began in Huanan Seafood Market, Wuhan, China, in December. At first, we knew little about this virus. With more researches going on, we get to learn more about it.

Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals. In rare cases, they are what scientists call zoonotic (人畜共患病), meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is believed that the novel coronavirus spreads from human contact with animals. Bats are widely believed to be carriers of the latest strain of the disease.

Chinese researchers said on Friday that the endangered pangolin (穿山甲) may be the intermediate host between bats and humans.

The viruses can make people sick, usually with a mild(轻度) to moderate(中度) upper respiratory tract illness(上呼吸道疾病), similar to a common cold, including a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days. For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly and the very young, there's a chance the virus could cause deadly diseases.

What's horrible about this virus is that once a human is infected, he/she becomes a carrier of the virus and spreads it to more people by coughing, sneezing or even handshaking. The virus can also be transmitted (传播) by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Doctors and nurses may also catch the disease when taking care of the patients, so they are required to wear strict protective clothes.

Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for the disease at this stage, which makes the outbreak a challenging one to control. Besides, since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect the whole world, the influences of the novel coronavirus are huge-damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors and weakening the entire country.

To fight against the disease, as individuals, we should strictly follow the requirements of the government to stay at home and help to prevent the spread of the disease. In terms of the government, a strong health care system can surely help decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of the disease.

1.How many people have been affected since the outbreak of the new Chinese coronavirus?

2.Where does the novel coronavirus come from according to the researchers?

3.What symptoms (症状) may people have when they are affected?

4.Why are doctors and nurses required to wear strict protective clothes?

5.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
