Zhang Feng, a 23-year-old man from Zhengzhou,...

Zhang Feng, a 23-year-old man from Zhengzhou, China, has developed a special kind of kungfu skill. He called it “Shaolin Sunshine Hand”. It allows him to get enough energy with his fists (拳头) to put out candles up to three meters away.

I used to watch those Chinese kungfu films during the 80s and 90s. I used to love seeing kungfu actors make things far away with their fists, but at that time I knew it was not true. However, after I watched the video, I changed my idea. The video went very popular in China recently. It showed that the young man named Zhang Feng put out 15 candles in a line three meters away with air or energy generated by his flying fists.

You may say it’s not true, and you’re not the only one. But the young man actually invited two reporters from The Zhengzhou Evening News newspaper into his home to see his act and then film him doing it. The two reporters tried their best, but were only able to put out one of the 15 candles set 10 cm apart, and even blowing air didn’t put out all the candles. Zhang Feng, on the other hand, put them all out just by throwing punches. The two reporters were in awe and couldn’t explain how he did it. They said that Zhang Feng was a great Shaolin master.

1.What did the writer use to think of it seeing kungfu actors make things far away with their fists?

A. It was so scary.

B. It was too magic.

C. He did not believe it.

D. He thought it was true.

2.Zhang Feng could put out 15 candles in a line with ______.

A. his fists 　　　　　　　　　　 B. his mouth

C. a newspaper　　　　　　　　　　 D. blowing air

3.Why did Zhang Feng invite two reporters to his home?

A. Because he wanted them to interview him.

B. Because he wanted to have a big dinner with them.

C. Because he wanted them to watch and then film him doing it.

D. Because he wanted to watch them put out the candles by throwing punches.

4.The underlined phrase “in awe” probably means “______” in Chinese.

A. 恐惧地　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. 敬畏地

C. 漠然地　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. 慌乱地

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

Anne Zhang is a 21-year-old girl from Hangzhou, China. Now she studies in Britain. One day, when she was taking a train from London to Oxford, she heard loud noises on the train.

Before, the train had been very quiet. Some people were resting while others were reading books or listening to music. Suddenly, a group of Chinese people laughed loudly as they played a game of cards.

“ I would usually be very happy to meet people from my own country. But at that moment, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow ( 吞没 ) me.” Zhang said.

As it becomes easier for Chinese people to get visas( 签证) to foreign countries, more and more of them are traveling abroad. However, their bad manners have given them a bad reputation (名声).

A recent U.S. survey of 5,600 people five countries showed that Chinese people are the second worst tourists. The worst are American tourists.

Chinese always talk loudly in places like cafes and museums. They also spit (吐痰 ) and litter whenever they want and jump queues. Some Chinese tourists also like to write or draw pictures on famous buildings. In Singapore, Chinese tourists are fined( 罚款) because they were smoking in Non-smoking areas.

Some people may say that they can do everything that they want because they spend money in the country. In fact, this is not true. Besides enjoying ourselves, we should respect local customs and take care of the environment.
