On the night of November 14, 1978, a six-year-old Korean boy was flying to the United States. All he knew was that he was on a plane heading for somewhere. The plane landed at Kennedy International Airport, where he was greeted by a family. This young boy was me.

I have grown up in a town where there were few Asians, so I stuck out in the crowd. I made friends quickly and they treated me just like anyone else. You may ask if anyone made fun of my appearance. Well, of course, I met that kind of person. I just shrugged it off.

As an adopted child, I have something that others don't have. I have had the benefit of two families. I'm lucky to have got a chance to start a new life. But we must try never to forget our past. Someday I will go back to Korea to find out what kind of culture I left behind.

There is only one thing that I regret about being adopted. When I argue with my parents and they realize they are losing the argument, they sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I were back in Korea. I don't understand this because I thought the purpose of adopting someone was to give them a better chance of growing up in a family. Some day when I am older, I want to adopt a girl and raise her the way my parents have raised me, but I would do it better, for I know what went well and what did not.

1.We learn that when the writer was on the way to his new family, ______.

A. he was with his own parents

B. he was very happy and excited

C. he was about ten years old then

D. he didn't know he was going to be adopted

2.If someone sticks out in the crowd, it means that he/she_______.

A. is very good-looking

B. is very kind-hearted

C. is easily noticed by others

D. is disliked by others

3.When the writer was made fun of by others, he _______.

A. was deeply hurt

B. wanted to go back to Korea

C. didn’t care about it that much

D. tried to make friends with them

4.What does the writer want to do when he is older?

C. Find out how to raise children in a better way.

D. Adopt a girl and raise her in a good way.

Silvano Lattanzi, the master of made — in — Italy shoemaking, was totally conquered by a painting hung in the entrance hall of the very modem Rich Gate, the luxury district in Shanghai.

The painting, before which he knelt down to show his admiration, is the Rich Gale Rose painted by Liu Linghua. who's known as the “Chinese Van Gogh".

It was in May 2016 that Lattanzi first met Liu Linghua who was working on his 15-square-meter great piece.

In the eyes of westerners, Lattanzi is a great master of shoemaking, fashion and arts. His admiration for the Rich Gate Rose well shows the high level of　 Liu’s painting. Ever since this, the two art masters of different nationalities, different ages and different cultural backgrounds have forged a profound friendship.

When Lattanzi came back to China six months later with the pair of shoes he made for Liu, he insisted on delivering the shoes to Liu himself. The two friends met again al the Rich Gale and Liu Linghua presented an embroidery （刺绣）of his master work The Drunken Beauty in return.

Liu expressed repeatedly that his works should be explained by painting and not the words of compliments. He does not care about the titles, though he is on par with the greatest painters.

From the end of next year, all shops, market stalls and takeaways in Wales will be obliged to charge up to 15p each for plastic or paper bags. Wales is to become the first part of Britain to ban free carrier bags after deciding that efforts by supermarkets to cut waste have proved ineffective.

Jane Davidson, the Welsh Environment Minister, said that the revenue（收入） would go to a new independent body, which would spend the money on local environmental projects. She admitted that a small number of people might switch to shops in England, where there are no plans to charge for carrier bags. She said that tough action was necessary. Ms Davidson, a Labor member of the Welsh Assembly’s ruling Labor-Plaid Cymrucoalition, hopes the ban will embarrass her counterparts（对应的人） in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland into similar action.

Wales is planning to use a little-known clause(条款) in last year’s Climate Change Act, which enables the government to outlaw free bags. Ms. Davidson said: “We want to encourage people to think about what they do. All the other ministers are still signed up to the voluntary agenda. You will see a different message from me.”

Last week the media revealed that Tesco had published misleading figures giving the impression that it had met a voluntary target to halve the use of plastic bags in three years. Seven supermarket chains reported last month that the total number of free bags they had issued had fallen by 48 percent to 450 million a month in the three years to last May. The figures masked that Marks & Spencer, the only chain to charge for bags, had made much faster progress than its rivals. It cut bag use by 83 percent after introducing a 5p charge last year. Ms. Davidson said that banning free bags would encourage a wider shift to a less wasteful society. She was considering a charge of between 5p and 15p, but indicated that she favored the upper end of the range.

1.Which city is the first part of Britain to ban free carrier bags? _______

A. Wales　　 B. England

C. Scotland　　 D. Northern Ireland

2.A certain amount of purchase will take place in England because_____________.

A. the carrier bags are cheaper there　　 B. the goods there are free

C. the goods there are cheaper　　 D. the carrier bags are free there

3.The government cited a little-known clause in last year’s Climate Change Act for the purpose of _________.

A. arousing public’s sense of reducing waste　　 B. reducing the customers’ resistance

C. promoting charging bags with legal means　　 D. enabling supermarket to cut waste

4.According to Ms. Davidson, she preferred a free bag’s charge to be ________.

A. 5p　　 B. 15p

C. between 5p and 15p　　 D. above 15p
