三、阅读理解
(A)
BEIJING (Associated Press 美联社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling education al toys should be easy. While China may be the world’s biggest toy maker, many of the best are exported. Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.
A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China. BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. People who join the company’s "mother club" can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and childcare books. "We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCare’s president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, and explain toys that are designed for children at each stage of dev elopment to age six. BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
It is a new model for a US company and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in.

B. setting up children’s education centers

(B)
"Depend on yourself" is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these people only help you to help yourself. There have been many great men in history. Many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend on them for education. They saw how it was, and set to work to know something. They worked their own way up to fame. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, "I can’t make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves."
Some young men have no ambition(志向) to do better than others in anything; they are to be pitied. They can never accomplish (succeed in doing) much unless they see their weak points and change their courses. They are nothing now and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own honest efforts.
5. “Depend on yourself” in t his passage means______.
A. rely on your own honest efforts
B. wait for others to help
C. turn to your parents
D. believe in nature
6. Many of the great men in history succeeded because_______.
A. they were very poor in childhood
B. they couldn’t depend on schools for education
C. they made great efforts to learn and work
D. they wanted very much to become famous
7. If young people depend on their own efforts, ______.
A. they are to be pitied
B. they can be successful in their careers
C. they are nothing now and will be nothing in the future
D. they can be ambitious

Dear Peter,
I am glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
Here are a few suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you will be able to learn from the teacher and practise with your fellow students. Then, it also helps to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible.
Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you will learn and remember Chinese words more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.
Try and write to me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes.
Yours ,
Li Hua
