From old times, India has been a good friend of China. The two big Asian countries now work more closely on border problems, trade (贸易) and IT.
India is an interesting and mysterious( 神秘的)country with a long history. Around 2,000 BC, Indian civilization (文明) was born. It is one of the four oldest civilizations in the world. India is also the birthplace of Buddhism (佛教). A famous Chinese novel, "A Journey to the West", is about a Chinese monk (和尚) who tried very hard to learn about Buddhism from India.
The book comes from a true story. Xuanzang, a Buddhist monk was sent to India by the King of the Tang Dynasty. After many years, he brought back lots of Buddhist books. The name "India" was first used by Xuanzang in his work.
Today, religion(宗教) is still an important part of Indian culture. There are many religions there. Most Indian people believe in Hinduism (印度教). In India, cows are very special animals because Hinduism says they are holy (神圣的). So Indians don't sell or eat beef. Like China,
India is a developing country with a large population(人口). It has about 1.03 billion people compared to China's 1.3 billion. More than two thirds of Indians still live a poor life in the countryside.
India has no birth control so its population is growing fast. By 2030, India could even have more people than China.
Hindi (印地语) is the mother tongue of Indian people. But Britain took India in 1757 and stayed there until 1947. Because of this, English slowly became the other official language.
1.Why don't Indians sell or eat beef?
A. Because they don't like it.
B. Because they are afraid of getting ill.
C. Because they see cows as holy animals.
D. Because beef is very expensive.
2.What is/are the official language(s) of India?
A. Hindi B. English
C. Both of the above D. None of the above

Recently the “China dream” has been the subject of a public topic. Although it is quite common for Chinese people to dream of a prosperous(繁荣) China, most people also have their own dreams. Throughout China’s thousands of years of history, these “China dreams” have always existed(存在). Do you have a “China dream”? I brought up this topic with several young Chinese students with higher U.S. educational backgrounds(教育背景). Unsurprisingly, they all had their own heartfelt hopes and dreams for their motherland.
Fred Wang, an MBA candidate(毕业生) in the U.S. said, “I dream of equal chance for the young in China. Equality means all young people can compete fairly(公平), based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or poor.”
Yujie Zhao, another MBA candidate in California said, “I dream of a happy family with an affordable home. I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line, and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents after they retire(退休).” She said, “It seems like all my dreams are about family, but it is so true for most Chinese young dreamers today.”
Yiqiong Zhang, an MBA graduate from the US shared her dreams. “I have a dream which I have been holding for many years, that is after working hard for about 20 to 25 years, I can have enough money to build and manage a small bookstore or a flower shop. Besides working hard, I am able to enjoy life: to play the piano, to hike and to enjoy a two-month-long vacation every year. This may be a common dream among young Chinese students.”
There is no doubt (疑问)that all of these young students have their own “China dream”. They all love China, they all love running after their dreams. Beautiful “China Dream” needs hard work. Everyone should work hard to make their dream come true.
