Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear people speaking Chinese aloud. 1 After walking into a store, it’s possible that you’ll see Huawei smartphones for sale. This isn’t referring to China, but Manchester, UK. 2 Indeed, Chinese products have gone global.
3 But to meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat,” said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here don’t. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.”
4 In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters(路透社). More than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They’re not simply made in China, but designed and developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But things have changed greatly. 5 “For example, Huawei, one of China’s major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July last year,” noted consulting firm Counterpoint Research.
A.Many Chinese brands(品牌) are also becoming more popular.
B.Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time.
C.“Made in China” has become cool and more people trust Chinese brands.
D.Meanwhile, international brands are still enjoying great success in China.
E.Turning to the right, you may see a Sichuan-style restaurant.
F.In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities around the world.
G.What is the biggest problem with many Chinese brands

We should never give up when we’re challenged. The following three actresses have set a good example to us.
Sarah Jessica Parker
When Parker was little, she had to take up singing and dancing to help feed her big family.
Despite hard times, Parker’ s mom encouraged her children’s interest in the arts. When Parker was 11 years old, the family took a trip to New York City, so Parker could audition (试演) for a Broadway play. The trip was a success—she and her brother were both cast, and then the family moved to New York. Parker continued to work hard and land roles, eventually becoming the title character of a famous TV show.
Emily Blunt
Before Blunt was nominated (提名) for Golden Globes and landed leading roles on the stage and big screen, she could hardly hold a conversation with her classmates: between ages 7 and 14, Emily had a major stutter (口吃). But that all changed when one of her junior high teachers encouraged her to try out for the school play, which she thought was a totally unappealing(无吸引力的) thing at first due to the fact that she had such a hard time communicating. The teacher suggested she try accents and character voices to help get the words out and it worked. By the end of her teens, Blunt had overcome her stutter and went on to achieve the successful career she has now.
Shania Twain
Twain’s career actually began more out of necessity than raw ambition. Her mom and stepfather often couldn’t make enough to get by, so Twain started singing in bars to make extra money when she was just eight years old. She recalled her mother waking her up at all hours to get up and perform. Sadly, when she was 21, her mother and stepfather were killed in a car accident on the highway.
Twain put her career on hold to step in and take care of her younger brothers. Only when her youngest brothers graduated from high school did she feel it was OK to head down to Nashville to pursue her career.
1.Why did Parker’ s family go to New York City when she was 11
A.A TV show was waiting for Parker.
B.Parker planned to learn the arts there.
C.Parker’ s family wanted to travel there.
D.Parker could try out for a play there.
2.What was her first reaction when Blunt was advised to try out for the school play
A.Excited. B.Uninterested.
C.Angry. D.Touched.
3.Because , Twain stopped pursuing her career at 21.
A.she wanted to finish her education
B.she experienced a car accident
C.she decided to look after her brothers
D.she wanted to take a break
4.What did Parker and Twain have in common when they were young
A.They helped support their family.
B.They had uncaring parents.
C.They wanted to become famous.
D.They had an unhappy childhood.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life was totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance for Carol’s family to move to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life was better than the city life.
She told Carol,“Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city ”
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her the wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.
Paragraph 1:
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends.
Paragraph 2:
Carol’s brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke
up.

Paragraph 1:
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. Carol and her friends went to watch movies. After that they ate delicious food in a restaurant and shopped in a huge mall. Carol was happy that she had the chance to experience the life in the city. Yet at the same time, she understood that everything told by her grandmother was true in the city. There was no peace and no silence;the city life was fast and rushing. The air quality was not satisfying. She could hardly find any animal or even a tree.
Paragraph 2:
Carol’s brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life. Carol understood that she was having a more joyful life. She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables, and they laughed together. Carol also developed love for plants, animals and beautiful nature.Unit 5The Value Of Money同步巩固练-part 2

China has been the birthplace of many of the world’s greatest inventions. It was, for example, the first country to produce paper money. Before the invention of paper money and coins, people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling. 1 This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering(物物交换).
2 In 1200 BC, people in China began to use shells (贝壳) as money. Usually the shells used as money were very small. This made it easier for people to carry money over long distances, and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country.
In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same. 3
The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells. It wasn’t long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal. 4 By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.
About 1,000 years later, leather was used as money in China, and in 806 AD, the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people. 5
A.People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs.
B.During that time, for example, buying a chicken might cost several potatoes.
C.It was still many years before paper currency appeared in Europe.
D.However, as economies developed, such exchanges became impractical.
E.They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.
F.As time went by, trade between countries increased.
G.The first coins often had holes in them so that people could string them together.

Teenagers earning money
In the United States, you can only get a full-time job if you are 16 years old or older. But there are things that teenagers can do to earn some spending money. Here are a few ideas.
Parents with young children sometimes want to go out for dinner or to the movies, but they don’t want to leave their children alone. 1 If the children go to bed early, you can do some of your homework!
Some adults have a dog, but they don’t have time to take it for a walk. 2 So some teenagers work as dog walkers. It’s a good idea—you earn money and you’re outside in the fresh air. You get some exercise, too!
Teenagers can deliver newspapers. You usually ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave a newspaper at each house. 3 You have to get up early, too, because people want to read their newspaper with their breakfast.
4 Some companies pay teens to do online research. They want to know what teens are interested in. It’s a fun and easy way to make money. You can also design web pages for friends or adults.
Sometimes adults pay teenagers to mow (修剪) their lawns. It’s a great job because you get fresh air and exercise. 5 Then you have regular customers, because grass always grows!
A.Dogs need a lot of exercise!
B.It brings a lot of safety problems.
C.Normally you have to have your own bike.
D.Teenagers can work at home on their computers.
E.It’s important to tell an adult where you’re going.
F.Do your job carefully and people will want you to do it again.
G.So, they ask a teenager to stay in the house and look after their children while they are out.

A family in Florida had a happy Christmas this year thanks to two local police officers, who answered a 911 call only to discover there was no emergency at all.
When they arrived at the house of a single mother with two children, the officers discovered the younger child, about two years old, was playing with the phone. There were no signs of Christmas or holiday cheer in the house. “They weren’t smiling. It seemed like they weren’t happy at all. They were missing something,” Officer Paramore said. “The mother mentioned that they weren’t going to have a Christmas that year.

Paramore and his partner, Barry Ward, left the house with a plan. The next day, they went to a supermarket and bought a tree, lights and some ornaments(装饰物) with their own money.

Jon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a successful businessman for life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.
Pedley admits that he has not always led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit(追求) of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting,” says Pedley.
But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook(观点) on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing thanked me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.
Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car—and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.
Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health and education facilities(设备) for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents due to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.
5.Which of the following can best describe Pedley’s life in the past
A.Positive.
B.Colorful.
C.Independent.
D.Selfish.
6.What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village
A.Grow potatoes with the local people.
B.Teach English in the local school.
C.Assist villagers with construction work.
D.Help to attract more tourists to the village.
7.Why will Pedley work with English teenagers who are in trouble
A.To encourage them to make friends with the locals.
B.To encourage them to live a more positive life.
C.To train them to become doctors in the future.
D.To make them learn about different cultures.
8.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.From a millionaire to living in a mud hut
B.A life-changing adventure
C.A rich man becoming homeless
D.A grateful businessman
