“Made in China” is having its moment now—and it's a fashionable one.

The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sneaker brands suddenly gained international attention. Their products were seen on models all over the world. Last year, Chinese sportswear brand (品牌) Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September with new designs-- coats and jackets decorated with Chinese characters.

Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group said that the latest Chinese brands are no longer promoting (推销) themselves on the basis of their cheapness He told CNN. “They are ambitious (雄心勃勃的) and can go head to head with foreign brands”

And this ambition may be due to the fact that China's young people are now more confident about their own culture. Western culture doesn't have the strong appeal to the young that it once had.

“Today's young people in China are excited about Chinese cultural elements,” Jin Qu, vice president of YOHO, an urban clothing shopping website in China, said at a cultural festival in November. “They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand image of laoganma—the famous chili sauce in China—which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols.”

In fact, many celebrities (名人) in the west now have an interest in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. US singer Rihanna, for example, wore a shiny and heavily embroidered yellow gown to the 2015 Met Gala to match the fashion theme “China: Through the Looking Glass”. The gown was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei.

“We have to move from manufacturing to service and creativity. ” Chinese-American architect and designer Aric Chen once told The Financial Times. “We want to replace the wants ‘Made in China’ with ‘Designed in China’ ”

There are countless myths（神话）to explain how the world came to have a moon to bring light to the night time. But now there is a plan for a man-made moon. It will give us far more light than the natural Moon.

China is preparing to put a man-made moon in the sky above Chengdu by 2020. It will reflect sunlight back on to the Earth. If it succeeds, three more such objects will be sent out in 2022, according to Wu Chunfeng, a space scientist. Wu said it would be similar to how we get moonlight, but he predicted that the man-made moon would have eight times the brightness of the real one. “This is because the object will be about 500 kilometers above the Earth. That will make it a lot closer to us than the Moon, which is over 380,000 kilometers away,” Wu added.

If the plan works, the man-made moon will save a lot of power. Scientists predict that Chengdu could save around 1.2 billion yuan in electricity every year if a new moon lit up 50 square kilometers of the city. And in 2022, four man-made moons can take turns to work as they will not always be in the best position（位置）relative to the Sun. Together, they can give light to an area of up to 6, 400 square kilometers on the Earth for 24hours. That means its brightness will be seen in most areas in China, reducing the need for streetlights.

1.Above which city is China preparing to put a man-made moon in the sky by 2020?

A.Beijing B.Shanghai C.Chengdu D.Wuhan

2.The underlined word “reflect” in Paragraph2 means“________”.

A.吸收 B.反射 C.照耀 D.覆盖

3.The man-made moon will be about ________above the Earth.

A.500 kilometers B.380,000 kilometers C.50 kilometers D.6,400 kilometers

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The man-made moon will be as bright as the natural one.

B.The man-made moon will work similarly to the natural one.

C.The man-made moon has already lit up the city of Chengdu.

D.The man-made moonlight will cover the whole china.

5.Which part of a newspaper may this passage be from?

A.Culture B.Sports C.Education D.Science

A growing number of Chinese stories are being told by foreigners through the Internet.

Recently, a video made by an Australian on Douyin swept the screen, followed by more than 2 million zans and 110, 000 comments (评论). In the video he said. "I'm pleased with the Chinese lifestyle. It's really difficult to live in a country like Australia, especially after you have spent so much time in China. If you don't drive a car in China, you just ride a bike. You can get anywhere easily, and there are subways. But in Australia, if you don't have a car, you can do nothing."

The Australian uncle also complained about (抱怨) the price of Uber, an Australian taxi-hailing software. "My God, one kilometer is almost 20 Australian ollas (about 97 yuan RMB)."

The blogger of Beijing Expat Guide, Paul Stoker, compared life in Beijing with life in America. He said. "Life is usually controlled by cars in the US. There's no cheap and good public transportation, so it's so difficult to get somewhere. You always have to borrow or rent a car or ask for a ride." "Compared to the colorful life in Beijing, life seems so boring in America. It seems nothing has changed at home, except for you."

Coming back to America, Cynthia Lopez said at eChinacities. "The number of mass shooting in the US has quickly increased in recent years. You don't have to worry about your safety in China—guns are not allowed by law in China. Because of America's gun culture, guns will never be illegal in the US."

Many foreigners who have spent so much time in China are happy about the Chinese lifestyle. And they1.living in China. They think public traffic in China is very fast and cheap, which can take them anywhere2.. However, in their hometowns like Australia and America, public traffic is not so convenient, but3.. They can hardly go anywhere without a car. In their eyes, life in China is4.while the lifestyle in their own countries seems so boring. Another good thing in China is that they don't have to worry about their5.because guns are not allowed by law.

In fact, there must be something good both in China and any other foreign country. It's important to understand and learn from each other.

If you look at the top of your phone ,you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The "G" stands for the "generation" of your mobile network.But these symbols will become things of the past after 5G fully arrives.

On March 30th, 2019, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone, CGTN reported.Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.Monaco became the first country in Europe to use a next-generation 5G mobile phone network based on technology from Chinese company Huawei.

It sounds obvious, but it’s important to understand just how much faster 5G is compared to current 4G speeds. 5G will not only be many, many times faster than your existing connection, it will be greatly faster than the broadband connection you have at home.

Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds* to send and receive data.But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less.This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster. It can be used in many other ways as well.

For example,5G will help to make self-driving cars safer.Today's self ﹣ driving test cars have one problem ﹣ lag.When the car"sees"an obstacle*, it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it takes time to send and receive this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer,according to CNN.

5G could also be used to power the Internet of Things (IOT). This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people.Fast Internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. For example, with IOT under 5G, your fridge could automatically* place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.

All in all, 5G will shape every type of technology that it touches. And you won't have to wait too long for that to happen. Though we’ve seen a lot of positive progress just in the last year, we still have a long way to go before 5G is anywhere near as common as 4G is right now.

1.From Paragraph ②, we can know that _______.

A.5G is widely used in Shanghai

B.it took lots of efforts to test 5G

C.China and Monaco is working on its 5G networks

D.5G would make it possible to take videos

2.The underlined word "lag" probably means " _______" in Chinese.

A.延迟 B.迷路 C.暂停 D.耗电

3.The fridge is mentioned to _______.

A.describe the importance of IOT

B.encourage people to try the new product

C.introduce how to use the Internet of Things

D.show 5G would make IOT more powerful

4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage？

A.Can 5G Go Far？

B.How is 5G Changing Our Life？

C.5G is on the Way

D.China is Leading the World in 5G
