When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from china.

When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans．Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.

Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.”

As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea.

I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story．My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.

At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian．It was a strange country.

How things change! And how soon!

Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”．And everyone is talking about China.

The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done．A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment (投资) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.

But it’s a two-way street．I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software．Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.

No wonder that trade , which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US$15 billion for last year and US$20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.

No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian (中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.

But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.

1.Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?

A．She was tired of Indian tea．               B．She had a son working in China.

C．She believed it had a curing effect.        D．She was fond of Chinese products.

2.What does the author mean by “it’s a two-way street” in Paragraph 10?

A．The exchanges between India and China benefit both.

B．Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.

C．Chinese products are popular in both China and India.

D．China and India have different traffic rules.

3.What do we know about the Indian IT industry?

A．It will move its head office to Shenzhen.

B．It is seeking further development in China.

C．It has attracted an investment of US$15 billion.

D．It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.

4.In the text the author expresses _____.

A．his concern for his mother’s health

B．his support for drinking Chinese green tea

C．his wonder at the growth of India’s IT industry

D．his surprise at China’s recent development

“What’s that?” my ten-year-old daughter, Genie, asked. She’d caught me laughing at a piece of mail I’d just opened. “Wake-up service, $2.50 per call.” At the bottom was a phone number and a drawing of a rotary phone, like the one my great- aunt Sara had owned 40 years ago.

“Is that mail funny?” Genie asked.

“Not really,” I admitted. “It’s just outdated.”

“What’s a wake-up call?” She asked. I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call.

“Who sent this flyer（传单）?” she pressed.

“Probably someone older,” I said.

Her eyes lit up. “Can we order a wake-up?” she asked.

“We don’t need it.” I picked it up and headed for the recycling bin.

“Wait!” she screamed. “I feel sorry for the wake-up man, if he needs some money,” she said, tearing up. “Can’t we order?”

I looked at the flyer with its drawing of a rotary phone. I remembered, again, my great-aunt Sara and her rotary phone. As a kid, I’d visited her over Labor Day, when Jerry Lewis would host his charity event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would squeeze my hand, then reach for the rotary phone, dialing the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, we’d announce to the operator, “We’d like to help those kids.”

Now here was my own child, showing the same big heart I’d once been encouraged to have, and how could I ignore her? I googled the flyer’s return address. The address belonged to a man called Raymond. He was in his mid-60s. We called him and, holding the receiver between us, the way Aunt Sara and I used to, told him we needed his services. “Great!” Raymond said in a shaky but friendly voice, clearly amazed at receiving an order from a child.

Genie was happy all week.

Technology has made some things outdated. But there are still other things the world will always require. In the rush of my daily life, I’d temporarily forgotten that, I guess I just needed a wake-up call.

1.Why did Genie beg to order the service?

A. She was afraid of being late.

B. She wanted to help the old man.

C. She was curious about the service.

D. She was interested in the rotary phone.

2.What made the author finally decide to order a wake-up call?

A. Her own childhood experience.

B. The less fortunate wake-up man.

C. Genie’s curiosity about the service.

D. The information she found on Google.

3.How did Raymond feel when receiving our order?

A. Excited.　　 B. Disappointed.

C. Doubtful.　　 D. Regretful.

4.What could be the best title for the passage?

A. A Wake-up Man　　 B. A Kindhearted Girl

C. The Wake-up Call　　 D. The Rotary Phone

A couple of years ago, when my older daughter was 8,she gently told my wife and me that she’d gotten too old for us to read her books anymore. We didn’t try to talk her out of it or tell her many benefits of reading aloud to a child (even after they can do so themselves). 1.

Two weeks after stopping our bedtime readings, though, my older daughter asked whether we could start again. 2. As she later explained, “Everyone likes to be read to, even adults.” We’ve continued uninterrupted since. Right now, we’re deep into Philip Pullman’s “The Golden Compass.”

3. In most of the studies, people found that reading aloud appeared to strengthen parents’ feelings of competence, improve the quality of their relationships with their children and even reduce parental stress or depression.

Reading aloud to children improves a young mind’s cognitive development (thinking, problem-solving, decision-making) and reduces behavior problems, research shows. As with playing board games, reading to them increases concentration and attention spans.

And yet, too many of us stop before the kids want us to. 4.

The conversations children have around themes and ideas in books help them make sense of the world. And it’s a joyful way to connect and be close with your kid. While reading in bed, my daughters and I lie next to each other, sometimes leaning into one another. 5. It’s as high a quality as quality time gets.

A. She simply enjoyed the practice too much to let it go yet.

B. When she was a young child, we began a nearly daily reading called Milk & Books.

C. We were disappointed but respected her.

D. Reading aloud was significantly beneficial to children and their parents.

E. In Australia, more than a third of children aged 6 to 1l whose parents had stopped reading to them wanted to continue.

F. We laugh and are surprised together and have deep conversations about the novels.

G. It’s one of the most virtuous circles of parenting and teaching.

Women make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that? If you ask me, I’d like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth—women are queens of the road.

Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going. We don’t drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever been in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he’s made another wrong turn.

Speeding is what men do best on the road. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don’t get pulled over as frequently. We don’t speed. We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger.

My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible, and they’re totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level. You don’t ever see women driving like that.

I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men. We women rule the road. Oh, and men, if you want to continue criticizing（批评）women for being bad drivers, bring it on.

1.If a woman driver feels lost, she will 　　　　 .

A. stop the car and ask people for help

B. take the wrong turns at a high speed

C. tell the man next to her to shut up

D. drive aimlessly for hours without stopping

2.According to Paragraph 4, men drivers 　　　　　 worries the writer most.

A. making jokes about women

B. not paying full attention

C. not stopping for directions

D. getting more speeding tickets

3.What is the passage about?

A. Women stop for directions.

B. Men make better drivers than Women.

C. Women make better drivers than men.

D. Women rule the road.
