China is using travel as an important tool to help strengthen its economy.At the recent First World Conference on Tourism a Chinese official spoke about the government’s plan for using tourists and the money they spend. The head of China’s National Tourism Administration, Li Jinzao, said that China plans to send 150million travelers along what he called the “One Belt, One Road”. In the next five years, these tourists are expected to spend $200 billion, he said. This spending estimate(估计) is likely to raise expectations among countries along the ancient Silk Road, which links China to its neighbors.

China has reasons to feel it can use tourism to influence the foreign policy. Governments across the world are changing their immigration rules to welcome the growing numbers of Chinese tourists. Chinese citizens are now going to places where in the past Chinese rarely went. Marketing expert Michel Gutsatz said that among Chinese travelers, South Korea and Thailand are popular destinations. Outside of Asia, he said, Chinese are more likely to visit Europe than North America. These changes, he said, are the result of young Chinese travelers, who spend more and travel independently.

Spending by Chinese tourists has lifted the economies of several Asian countries, including Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. It is expected that the number of Chinese traveling overseas to reach 242 million by 2024. In a single year, that number would be equal to the total number of tourists received by Germany, Iran, Indonesia and Egypt combined

China is now the biggest business travel market in the world, The Global Business Travel Association(GBTA) recently announced that China has overtaken the United States in business travel. Chinese spent just over$291 billion on business travel last year. Americans spent just over $290 billion. This year, GBTA predicts that the Chinese business travel market will grow over 10 percent, while the Us business travel market will grow less than 2 percent.

1.We can infer from the passage that foreign countries ________.

A.welcome Chinese immigration to their countries

B.take Chinese tourists as their supporting power

C.make policies to ban Chinese tourists

D.rely entirely on Chinese tourists to increase their economy

2.What makes young Chinese travelers prefer spending holidays in Europe?

A.They want to visit the places they rarely visited in the past.

B.They spend more money and travel by their own.

C.They want to travel to farther places than just nearby countries.

D.They think Europe is a more fashionable and poplar destination.

3.What is the importance of receiving tourists from China for some Asian countries?

A.Chinese tourists make great contribution to their economy.

B.Chinese tourists can widen their business travel market.

C.The number of Chinese tourists is larger than that of European tourists.

D.They have greater expectations from Chinese tourists

4.What can be the best title of the passage?

A.China’s “One Belt, One Road” plan

B.Foreign Countries Change Their Policies to Attract Chinese Tourists

C.China Has the Biggest Business Travel Market

D.Tourism Helps China Strengthen Its Economy

An allowance（零花钱）is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decision. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.

How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not a right amount. Actually amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family.

To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work out a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures(花费) such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these bills,” Says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”

Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peer’s can feel left out.

It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten, her mother gave her $1, 75% of which for bus fare and lunch. “If you lose your money,” Brooke’s mother told her, “you walk home.”

One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. “Mom made me walk home.” recalled Stephens, now a financial planner. “ At first I was angry, but I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”

Experts advise that an allowance not be tied directly to child’s daily chores（日常家务）.

Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home that can develop his or her initiative.

How to listen in English exams

Listening is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams. The following suggestions may benefit you a lot.

Relax yourself.

Before listening, it’s necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. 1. If that doesn’t work, drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent.

2.

As soon as the listening starts, focus on it without thinking about anything else. While listening, you can also recall(回想）the related knowledge in common with the material concerned, such as the vocabulary about the subject or topic, which is beneficial to your better understanding.

Grasp the main idea.

Sometimes the monologue, dialogue or conversation you’re listening to is a little bit longer than you expect. And it’s normal that some unnecessary information is included. However, you don’t need to understand it completely. 3.

Ignore the new words.

Without doubt, there usually exist unfamiliar words in listening materials. In fact, it’s almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes. 4. It’s mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening.

Develop the habit of taking notes.

In the course of listening, it’s a good habit to write down the content and leave out the unimportant details. 5. By taking notes, we can remind ourselves of the key points.

A. Concentrate on listening.

B. The more words you memorize, the better it is.

C. Feeling nervous or worried is harmful and unnecessary.

D. What you need to do is turn a deaf ear to the new words.

E. Make a list of what you think is important while listening.

F. Instead, just pay attention to the key points and general ideas.

G. If you feel nervous or anxious, try taking a deep breath to calm yourself down.

How to keep a good figure may be important to you. In fact, your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.

Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

1.The text is especially helpful for those who care about ______.

A. house buying

B. healthy diet

C. their body shape

D. their home comforts

2.A home environment in blue can help people ________.

A. reduce food intake

B. digest food better

C. burn more calories

D. regain their appetites

3.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

A. Eat quickly.　　 B. Play fast music.

C. Use smaller spoons.　　 D. Turn down the lights.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Ways of Serving Dinner

B. Is Your House Making You Fat?

C. Effects of Self-Consciousness

D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

Every school has an ugly girl. In my primary school, it was me.

From first grade through fourth, I had to wear heavy orthopedic(整形外科的)shoes because of my weak ankles. I sounded like overweight elephant wearing bricks whenever I took a single step.

“Hey, Bigfoot!”

“Geez, you’re going to start an earthquake!”

Then in sixth grade I had to start wear glasses. Mom asked for the least expensive ones and that made me look like a fool.

“Four eyes!”

“Couldn’t you cover up more of your faces? Why stop at the eyes?”

In Seventh, I started competing on the city swim team, thinking that if I got a killer body, nobody would notice my face. Wrong again. I loved being fast and winning ribbons now and then, but now I had red, wet eyes from the chlorine(氯) in the pool. I also did not develop a killer body.

I changed my strategy at Eighth grade, the last year of middle school. I offered my help to anyone who needs. I worked for other girls, so they could hang out with their friends. My new program began to work. People who would never have acknowledged my existence before were suddenly seeking me out.

I’d been feeling pretty good until one day I went to Christine’s house to help her fill envelopes. Going into each envelope was invitation to Christine’s birthday party; it was a big event at a fancy hotel. Complete with dinner. She asked me to help her address these envelopes. There was no envelope for me.

My heart was broken. I tried to escape from all the eyes. High school had to be better, right？ Yes and no. Now that I’m here, I know there are still lots of shallow people judging you on what you’re wearing or how cool your hair is , but there are also kids who talk to you because they liked your answers or just as you’re kind, honest, and a good friend.

I still do kind things because I like the feeling I get when I am helping people. I, with my friends, went to Children’s hospital, playing games and reading to the sick kids.

I still had wet red and not a smart look, but you cannot tell me I am not beautiful. Every time I visit hospital, five-year-old Terry grasps my hand, “Morri, you are so nice. I want to grow up to be just like you.”

1.Why was Morri laughed at by her classmates when she was in primary school?

A. She had weak ankles and eyesight.　

B. Her glasses couldn’t cover up her face.

C. She couldn’t get along well with them.　

D. She looked like an overweight elephant.

2.Which of the following is the real reason for Morri competing on the city swim team?

A. To win more ribbons.　　　　　　　　　　

B. To shift others’ attention from her face.

C. To develop a killer body.　　　　　　　　　

D. To have red wet eyes.

3.From what Morri experienced in the last year of middle school, we can learn that __________.

A. her classmates thought highly of her    　　　

B. she was popular among her classmates

C. she was often cheated by her classmates

D. her classmates just made use of her

4.The passage is intended to encourage people to __________.

A. address as many as invitation envelopes as possible

B. take more sport activities including swimming

Fatimah Bamun dropped out of Balizenda Primary School in the first grade, when her father refused to buy her pencils and paper. Only after her teachers said to him that his daughter showed unusual promise(有希望) did he change his mind. Today, Fatimah, 14, tall and slender, studies math in a dirt-floored fourth-grade classroom.

Whether she will reach the fifth grade is another matter. Fatimah is facing the realities of a school with no toilet, no water, no hope of privacy (隐私) other than the shadow of a bush, and no girlfriends with whom to share feelings. Fatimah is the only girl of the 23 students in her class. In fact, in a school of 178 students, she is one of the only three girls who have made it past the third grade.

“I have no friend in the class,” she said. “Most of my friends have dropped out to get married. So during the break, I just sit in the classroom and read.”

Her father, however, now says he is fully behind her. “The people from the government are all the time telling us to send our daughters to school, and I am listening to these people,” he said.

But in many cases, parents don’t listen. Parents think that if the girls stay home, they can help with the harvesting, fetch the water and collect the firewood. So they take them out of school.

In a region where poverty, tradition and ignorance make about 24 million girls not even have an elementary school education. There are many other barriers (障碍) that prevent girls going to school, such as the lack of school toilets and water.

The issue is not only equality. The World Bank thinks that if women in sub-Saharan Africa had equal education, land and other wealth, the region’s economy could improve greatly. There is a connection between growth in Africa and sex equality. It is of great importance but still ignored by so many people.

1.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _______.

A. find the cause of Africa’s poverty

B. describe the poor education conditions of African girls

C. prove the inequality in African society

D. reform the present schooling systems in Africa

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Fatimah is a girl who shows signs of success for the future.

B. Fatimah’s father is now giving a lot of support to her.

C. Fatimah is the only girl who has made it past the fifth grade in her school.

D. Fatimah has no friends at school because they most of them have dropped out to get married.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A. most African girls are treated equally in society

B. African governments don’t care whether girls go to school or not

C. most African girls would rather get married than go to school

D. African girls can’t enjoy equal chances for education
