I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that's impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easygoing and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.

In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.

The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn't large and I live better. Nonimported(非进口的)foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.

When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.

When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”

1.What does the author think of Chinese people?

A. He thinks most Chinese people hardly work.

B. He thinks most Chinese people are proud.

C. He dislikes most Chinese people.

D. He praises most Chinese people a lot.

2.What is the author doing in China?

A. He is teaching English in a school.

B. He is visiting the places of interest.

C. He is studying in a college.

D. He is on business.

3.What are NOT cheap in China in the author's opinion?

A. Clothes and shoes made in China.

B. Local foods.

C. Imported foods.

D. Public transportation tickets.

4.We can infer from the passage that the author thinks ________.

A. the westerners have got to know China well

B. the progress of China is seldom reported in the US.

C. China's economic miracles have appeared everywhere

D. the education in rural areas is never cared about in China

There were times it was only schoolchildren who felt sick before they got their grades. But now teachers in Germany are scared, too, as they are being graded by their students.

Many teachers are opposed to it. They don’t mind being evaluated(评价). But they are upset because the results are then being posted on the Internet and accessible to millions of Internet users. On the website www.spickmich.deduring the past four months students have posted evaluation of 100,000 teachers.

The teachers are graded on categories such as “motivated”, “good instruction”, “easy examinations”, or even “sexy”. Many teachers think that their privacy has been violated.

The creators of the website say that the students are only being offered the chance to provide teachers with some feedback about their classroom instruction. Bernd Dicks, who founded the website with three friends, says that the students are largely quite satisfied with their teachers. On a grading scale of one to six, the teachers’ average grade is 2.7 and it has been improving lately. He often says the impression is that students are bullying（威吓） their teachers. But there is also bullying of the students by teachers.

“Teachers must also learn to live with criticism,” he added. But still, the website is not totally immune from manipulation(操纵), as one teacher near the northern city of Hanover recently proved. He registered himself on the website as a student and then rated his own teaching colleagues highly. Within a few days, seven of his colleagues were listed in the top 10 ranking of Germany’s best teachers.

1.Many teachers are opposed to the website because_____.

A．their privacy has been violated             B．they are afraid of being assessed

C．their evaluations are unfair                D．the results are not satisfying

2.We can infer that the founder of the website intended to _____.

A．get the students to know their teachers better

B．conduct a survey on teachers’ performance

C．help the teachers to improve their teaching

D．change the teachers’ ways of giving instructions

3.From what the teacher in Hanover did, we can infer _____.

A．he intended to help his colleague

B．there was some disadvantage of the website

C．his colleagues were more popular than him

D．he wanted to know how he was evaluated

The last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn't sleep. He still couldn't think of what he wanted his Christmas gift to be. He wondered how Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn't know himself.

As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof (屋顶) and a sound downstairs. It was Father Christmas, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to have a look at the old man with his own eyes.

By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent. Beautiful gifts were piled (堆积) under the Christmas tree, but Father Christmas was gone. He looked for him for a few minutes, but it was already too late. Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.

“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”

He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of gifts to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. Bunny might have mistaken it for a dog, if it hadn't been for the antlers (鹿角) on its head.

“Are you a reindeer (驯鹿)?” asked Bunny.

“Yes,” replied the animal, “my name is Ralph.”

“And you were pulling Father Christmas' sled (雪橇)?”

“I was until I got airsick,” replied Ralph, “I'm afraid I wasn't cut out for the job. Now I'm stuck here and I don't know how to get back to the North Pole.”

“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the gift he wanted from Father Christmas was a new friend!

1.Why couldn't Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?

A. He had a lot of things to do.　　 B. He was disturbed by a big noise.

C. He was thinking of what gift he would get.　　 D. He wanted to have a look at the reindeer.

2.As soon as Bunny came downstairs, he _____.

A. was probably very sad　　 B. found what he wanted
