A recent poll by The New York Times shows that fewer and fewer people in the United States believe in the “American dream.” The poll asked the question: Do you believe you can start out poor in this country, work hard and become rich? Only 64 percent of Americans said “yes.”
Trust in the American dream may be disappearing. ____ halfway around the world, a new dream has been gaining strength – the Chinese dream.
President Xi said, “I believe that realizing the great revival(复兴) of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times.” The expression “Chinese dream” has since become President Xi Jinping' s political slogan. But, what is the Chinese dream? And how has President Xi started to make that dream a reality?
Xi' s Chinese dream has three key parts: strengthen China, improve prosperity（繁荣，昌盛）, and increase China' s military（军事的） power. In recent months, China has taken clear steps toward becoming stronger both domestically and globally.
For many Chinese citizens, it is not always easy to believe in the Chinese dream. Mr. Ernst says one major reason for this is the country' s severe pollution problem. “What is the most important thing you experience? Pollution. When you' re a young couple and you have kids, it' s not so easy to dream. Because you have to deal with very concrete（具体的） health concerns（顾虑）.”
The Chinese dream is not just for a richer and more powerful China, but a cleaner China. President Xi and the Chinese government know this. President Xi said, “Every day we will see a blue sky, green mountains and clear rivers, not just in Beijing, but all across China so that our children will live in an enjoyable environment.”
1.You can fill the word______ in the blank place?
A. Or B. And C. But D. So
2.What does the underlined word “slogan” mean in Chinese?
A. 短语 B. 口号 C. 呐喊 D. 能力
3.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. Fewer and Fewer people believe in the American dream.
B. Chinese dream has three key parts.
C. In recent months, China has taken clear steps toward becoming stronger all over the world.
D. The Chinese dream is just for a richer and more powerful China.
4.What can we mainly learn from the fifth passage?
A. Pollution is a big problem in China.
B. Health is important for children.
C. It is not easy to realize the Chinese dream.
D. We will see a blue sky and clean rivers in the future.

In the west , some people believe that people’s character can be predicted according to the time of the year the person was born. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one’s character . In the past century, a new belief has come up, the idea that character is related to one’s ABO blood type. People with blood type A , for example, are considered more likely to be serious ,hard working and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and out-going, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people doubt whether it is true.
The blood-type character theory(理论)started in Japan in 1927, when Furukawa Takeji noticed character similarities and differences among persons.The idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshiitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged 13 and 64 believing in the blood-type character connection.
Though most Asians might believe in it, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken seriously. It is also possible that people are easy to change their characters to match the blood-type theory. Is the belief true? In the 1980s, the scientists in Asia largely negated the belief as a superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and character. Generally, scientists are against making important decisions based on this theory.
1.What does the underlined word “predicted ” in the passage mean Chinese?
A. 预测 B. 提醒 C. 预告
2.In which country person predicted his character according to the year of his birth?
A. In western countries B. In China C. In Japan
3.According to the blood-type theory ,what is the person with blood type A like?
A. A person with blood type A can have many friends.
B. A student with blood type A may usually get good marks.
C. A person with blood type A is fond of talking with others.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The blood-type character theory(理论)was started by a scientist named Toshiitaka Nomi.
B. After about 10 years,scientists in Asia proved the blood-type theory was wrong.
C. After some young Koreans took to the theory, 76 percent of Korean teenagers believed in it.
5.The best title for this passage should be _____.
A. Information about different blood types.
B. The connection between blood-types and characters.

People believed for a long time that heart was the center of a person’s emotions. That is why the word “heart” is used in so many expressions about emotional situations.
One such expression is to “lose your heart” to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who “won your heart” does not love you, then you are sure to have a “broken heart”. In your pain and sadness, you may decide that the person you love is “hard-hearted”, and in fact, has a “heart of stone”.
You may decide to “pour out your heart” to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.
If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to “have a heart”. You are asking your friend to show some sympathy(同情) for your situation. Your friend “has her heart in the right place” if she says she is sorry, and shows great concern(关心).
If your friend says no to you, do not “lose heart”. Be “strong-hearted”. Sit down with him or her and have a “heart to heart” talk. Be open and honest about your situation. Then you may have a “change of heart” Then you could stop worrying and “put your heart at rest”.

Oink! The Year of the Pig is coming. Many people believe that pigs are naturally fat, lazy and dirty. But are any of those things true?
It is true that pigs are fat. They eat a lot. But they are useful to us. We get more than just pork from pigs. We can use their skin to make shoes. We can use their hair to make brushes. Pigs also provide us with ingredients for drugs like insulin (胰岛素) . Insulin can treat diabetes (糖尿病).
People sometimes say, “You are as stupid as a pig.” But pigs are not stupid. In fact, pigs are one of the 10 smartest animals. They have a good memory and can tell different shapes apart. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats. In France, people teach pigs to find something. With their good sense of smell, they can find it even faster than dogs.
When you see pigs, they are usually in dirty water or mud. That’s because pigs have no sweat glands (汗腺). On hot days, they have to cool themselves in water or mud. This keeps insects off of them as well. Mud can also protect their skin from sunburns.
These opinions of pigs often make us have wrong ideas about the animal. For example, if someone eats a lot, we say that they have “pigged out”. If someone’s room is very messy, we might say his or her room looks like a pigsty.
But people in ancient China really liked pigs. People thought the pig’s big head and ears were a symbol of good luck. If someone had a round and full face, he or she was thought to be blessed (有福气的). People also believed the animal stood for wealth, as humans used every part of the pig. Piggy banks are a symbol of this. Most children have a piggy bank that they can use to save money.
1.According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE about pigs?
A. We can make shoes with pig’s hair.
B. Pig’s skin can be used to make brushes.
C. Pigs can only provide pork for people.
D. Pigs are useful in helping treat diabetes.
2.Why do pigs usually stay in dirty water or mud?
A. Because they like being dirty.
B. Because they have no sweat glands.
C. Because they want to clean their skin.
D. Because they like to play with dirty water and mud.
3.What does the underlined phrase “pigged out” in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese?
A. 出栏 B. 节食 C. 暴饮暴食 D. 逃跑
4.According to the last paragraph, we can know the following EXCEPT____________.
A. pigs were thought to stand for wealth
B. people in ancient China really liked pigs
C. pig’s big head and ears were thought to be a symbol of good luck
D. people who had a round and full face were thought to be unlucky
5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Pigs are fat, lazy, dirty and stupid.
B. Pigs are neither useful nor smart.
C. Pigs can not tell different shapes apart.
D. Pigs have a good memory and a good sense of smell.
