Unit 1 The Changing World
单元话题阅读理解练习
（2023·福建厦门·福建省同安第一中学校考模拟预测）Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality(质量) than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that’s no longer the case.
Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, the billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV-9. But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.
“When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big,” Li said. “But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference.”
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a “home brand bias”.
More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3.3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.
“Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don’t just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all,” Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.

“Yes, right before she died, I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” Mom said. “I’m still working on it. See, this is what I’ve done so far.”
I looked at it more closely. She had made a line straight. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched a piece of cloth with these words, “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”
“Oh, this is so nice, Mom,” I said. I was sure now that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.

（2023·福建福州·福建省福州第一中学校考模拟预测）It was about 10 years ago, on a cold, gray winter day. The rain soaked (浸湿) my clothes and chilled my bones. I was walking to visit my dad. I knocked on his door and stepped into his house. Warm steam (蒸汽) came from the kitchen. It touched my nose and suddenly I felt like I was 8 years old again. Dad was making Grandma’s special sauce.
Growing up, Grandma would make us an Italian meal every Sunday after church. She would slowly cook her spaghetti sauce (酱汁) for hours, throwing in olive oil, salt, sugar, pepper, bay leaves (香叶), and garlic. Then she would drop in potatoes, chicken, meatballs and sometimes even steak. When it was ready, we would mix it in the spaghetti, serve it on plates, and added cheese on top. It always left our stomachs full, our hearts happy and our house smelling yummy.
I sat down when Dad made me a plate. I felt like a boy again. We talked about those old times and laughed over the memories, both good and bad. And I noticed something too. I didn’t feel cold anymore. My heart was warm, and my spirit was light.
Dad and Grandma have been gone for years now. I still miss them both every single day. Although my daughter and I both know how to make Grandma’s special sauce, we don’t cook it as often as we should. No matter how hard I try, I can never get it quite right.

（2023·福建南平·校联考模拟预测）Last year, I worked as a young marketing person in a company. The day was filled with tasks: preparing for meetings, answering sales calls and booking hotels. The list was endless. By the end of the day, I was not only tired but also angry with myself and everyone around me. It was at this time that Paul invited me to his house to chill out.
Although tired, I was excited to chat with Paul and learn from his rich experience in marketing. As I entered his house, Paul started singing a song: I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything ... I didn’t want to listen to his singing. I wanted to hear about how he dealt with sales calls.
As I was ready to tell him about that, I was surprised at what I saw next. Two young girls walked over to Paul. They could neither walk steadily (稳步地) nor speak. Their faces were full of smiles when they heard the song.
I asked Paul who these girls were. Paul explained, “I also have a dream to make these girls happy. They are my daughters and they were born with special diseases.” And he further added, “Their mother died when they were very young.”
I was moved to tears. In the office, no one knew what Paul was going through in his personal life. He never wanted his friends to take pity on him. In fact, he always helped us and encouraged us to move forward in life. He was always positive. He was full of hope and energy all the time.
