试题详情

Taking a bus or subway in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I hardly ever see people reading during their free time.

Are people’s attitudes (态度) toward reading different here?　 Not really. Data (数据) from Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They just like e-books better than traditional books.

However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this difference? I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature from great Chinese literature like Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三国演义》) to the modern science-fiction epic The Three-Body Problem (《三体》). Chinese writers have created many wonderful written works.

Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students have to read more and do more homework than US students. So that's why they might not want to read much in their free time.

But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot think of. Even just a small book has the magic to change your own personal thoughts and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?

1.Americans often 　　　　　 when they take a bus or subway.

A.work B.read C.sleep

2.The difference in reading between China and the US may start when 　　　　　　 .

A.they are children B.they are teenagers C.they are old enough

3.Why don't Chinese students want to read a lot in their free time?

A.Because the great Chinese literature is difficult to understand.

B.Because they spend too much time on textbooks and homework.

C.Because they might feel like reading textbooks for fun.

4.We can learn 　　　　　　 in the last paragraph.

A.reading makes a full man

B.reading is the key to traveling

C.reading teaches you to play magic

5.What can you infer from the passage?

A.Chinese students are busier with schoolwork than American students.

B.Amazon China is a famous book that Chinese people read a lot.

C.Traditional books are more popular among Chinese people.

In the United States, each farm family lives on its own fields, and often can’t see any people living around. Instead of travelling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land all the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are not big schools serving a few families, and the children walk to school. Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios, and television set. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life. For many years, farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new methods (方法) and to believe their own ideas instead of following old ways.

If you live in the United States, the law(法律) says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer vacations you can work 40 hours each week. Does that mean if you are younger than 14, you can’t make your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can make money by doing lots of things.
Valerie, 11, often makes money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lana , 13, makes money by knitting（织）sweaters for dogs and selling them to her neighbors, and Lisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her works to people. People have asked her draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 12, writes articles for different magazines!
Making money is learning. By working to make your own money, you are learning the skills you need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology(技术) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning(挣) it.
