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 Rangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the 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 2012, a goal set by both governments.

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

But what is still a wonder to me is my mother’s 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．China and India have different traffic rules.

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

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

D．There are exchanges between India and China.

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

A．It is seeking further development in China.

B．It will move its head office to Shenzhen.

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 surprise at China’s recent development

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

5.It is inferred in the text that _______.

A．the author’s mother loves China very much

B．the Indians were not familiar with China before

C．the government of India encourages their people to buy Chinese green tea

D．the two countries didn’t cooperate until last year

高一英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Last month my mother moved into a nursing home. This came after years of witnessing the worsening of her cognitive abilities and changes in her personality, all thanks to life-sucking frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

My mom is going to lose her ability to speak, have trouble forming complete thoughts and sentences, and eventually forget how to do things she loved, like cook and read.

But despite all of her inabilities, when I walked in on her having dinner with the rest of the women that make up the dementia floor of the nursing home, I didn’t think she belonged.

It wasn’t until I spent three days there bonding with those women that I realized what scared me the most-she did fit in.

If you were an outsider looking at these women, you’d pity them. You’d think it was cruel that our bodies could turn on us in this way. You’d think it was sad that their families have put the burden of taking care of them on someone else. You’d want to intervene.

You’d want to give the lady eating mashed potatoes with her hands a spoon, you’d want to peel the orange for the lady who’s eating it like an apple, you’d want to scold the lady who forgets to flush the toilet and wash her hands after using the bathroom.

I did all those things to my mother. But when I see her in an environment that lets her be herself, it somehow seems okay.

Learn to love them unconditionally. It’s easier said than done, but if she loved me after giving her hell for making me come home by 10 p. m. on Fridays, I can love her even if she forgets my name.

1.What frightened the author most?

A. Her mother adapted to the nursing home.

B. She had to look after her mother.

C. Her mother suffered from FTD.

D. She lived with those women at the nursing home.

2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “intervene”？

A. Amaze.　　 B. Interrupt.

C. Permit.　　 D. Explore.

3.What was the final decision of the author?

A. She let her mother alone.

B. She took care of her mother at home.

C. She sent her mother to hospital.

D. She let her mother stay at the nursing home.

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards her mother?

A. Mean.　　 B. Selfish.

C. Grateful.　　 D. Honest.
