While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.

Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize -which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture-on　　 February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.

Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.

The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.

Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素）.

Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.

Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed, ” he said.

“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, “he said.

“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are,” said Wang.

The study of traditions should be combined, with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.

1.Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are 　　 .

A. following the latest world trend B. getting international recognition C. working harder than ever before　　　　　　　　　 D. relying on foreign architects

2.What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?

A. Its hilly environment B. Its large size.

C. Its unique style. D. Its different functions

3.The underlined word “curve” in the passage means 　　 .

A. the smooth line of buildings B. the location of buildings

C. the color of buildings D. the shape of buildings

4.What made Wang’s architectural design a success?

A. The mixture of different shapes B. The balance of East and West.

C. The use of popular techniques D. The agreement of old and new.

5.What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?

A. Spread them to the world B. Keep them at museums.

C. Teach them in universities D. Recreate them in practice.

2018 is the Year of the Dog. Although dogs are seen as friends and part of the family today, China and Western countries have different cultural beliefs about dogs.

In Chinese, some words about dogs have derogatory meaning, such as “Lead a dog’s life.” In English, however, the situation is different. People use “every dog has his day” to describe a period of good luck, “work like a dog” to describe a hard worker and “a gay dog” to describe a happy person.

The dog-human relationship goes right back to the beginnings of Western civilization. Perhaps the most moving example is from the 8th century BC, in Greek poet Homer’s The Odyssey. When Greek hero Odysseus finally returns home after 20 years away at war, no one but his dog Argos recognizes him. The Argos is an old, sick dog, and is about to die; but he is overjoyed to see his owner again after so many years.

In fact, people were close to dogs in away they weren’t close to cows, pigs or even horses. Farmers worked closely with dogs. But even after science came to agriculture and dogs lost their traditional roles, the relationship between men and dogs remained.

Nowadays in the West, millions of people keep dogs as pets. They are at the heart of family life. People feed them, take them on holidays and look after them. In return, dogs are loyal in a way that friends sometimes aren’t. This loyalty is the origin of the English saying, “A dog is man’s best friend.”

1.Which may be a saying about dogs in China?

A. A gay dog.　　 B. Lead a dog’s life.　　 C. Work like a dog.　　 D. Every dog has its day.

2.The story of Odysseus and his dog is moving because　　　　 .

A. the dog will die in two years　　 B. he is overjoyed to see his dog again

C. only the dog recognizes him after the war　　 D. he returns home after twenty years away at war

3.What happened to dogs after science came to agriculture?

A. Farmers worked closely with dogs.　　 B. They still kept their traditional roles.

C. People preferred pigs and horses to dogs.　　 D. Men and dogs remained in good relationship.

4.What can we know from the passage?

A. All people keep dogs as pets in western countries.　　 B. In fact, dogs may be more loyal than some friends.

C. Argos was a great Greek hero in the 8th century BC.　　 D. China and England have the same beliefs about dogs.

Most of us in China are used to paying for almost everything with our phones. But for foreign visitors who aren’t familiar with this method, it may seem strange.

Lim May, a girl who comes from Singapore studies in Shanghai, said once she was waiting in line to buy breakfast in Shanghai and saw other customers show their phones and take the food without giving over any cash or using bank cards. Soon after, she realized that the customers were using WeChat Pay(微信支付). She was even more surprised to find that this kind of payment has spread to almost every part of Chinese people’s daily life now.

Lim pointed out that Singapore falls behind in mobile payments. “When visitors from China find that they have to use cash here, they ask, ‘How can Singapore be so backward?’ ” Lim said.

The popularity of mobile payments in China has made several foreign companies to accept them. Many countries now accept mobile payment services for Chinese tourists, with WeChat Pay covered in 13 foreign countries and areas and Alipay(支付宝) over 200.

While mobile payments are now a normal part of life in China, it’s not so common in other countries even in the US. It’s reported that in 2016, Chinese mobile payments were nearly 50 times greater than those in the US last year.

This may be partly because Western mobile payment services need businesses to install(安装) expensive equipment(设备）before customers can use them. While in China, all it takes is a QR code(二维码) and a smart phone.

1.According to Lim’s experience, which of the following you may probably see when buying things in China now?

A.People use cash to buy things at a shop without waiting in line.

B.People usually use bank cards to pay for breakfast in Shanghai.

C.People often go shopping with their smart phones instead of cash.

D.People don’t take any cash with them when they go shopping.

2.What does the underlined word “backward” mean in the passage?

A.麻烦的 B.落后的 C.不同的 D.搞笑的

3.According to the passage, we can learn that __________.

A.most Chinese people have been used to paying without cash now

B.WeChat Pay has developed faster than Alipay in foreign countries

C.people now can only use mobile payments in big cities of China

D.it’s hard for Chinese businesses to offer mobile payment services

4.What’s the best title for this passage?

A.China leads world in mobile payment B.The development of mobile payment

C.Advantages of using mobile payment D.How to use mobile payment in China
