kind businessman who didn't just focus on making money but also on making a difference.
Zong Qinghou's life teaches us some important lessons.Success isn't just about making money;it's also about working hard,staying humble,and helping others.Zong believed in putting the interests of his country and its people first.His story is a reminder to all of us that we should try to make a positive difference in the world and in the lives of the people around us.He was a

The clock rules our lives.The more we try to save time,the less time we seem to have.In every area of our lives we are doing things faster.And many of us live in towns and cities which are getting noisier and more stressful as each day passes.But now a worldwide movement,whose aim is to slow life down,has started.Its supporters are people who believe that a happier and
healthier way of life is possible.
The Slow Food movement was founded the day that an Italian journalist,Carlo Petrini,saw that McDonald's had opened a restaurant in a beautiful square in Rome.He thought it was sad that many people today live too quickly to sit down for a proper meal and only eat much fast food.He decided that he had to try to do something about it and so he started the Slow Food movement. Slow Food has become a global organization ever since and now has more than 80,000 members
in 100 countries.
Slow Food also encourages people to eat local and regional food,to use local shops and
markets,to eat out in small family restaurants,and to cook with traditional recipes.
The idea of Slow Cities was inspired by the Slow Food movement.The aim of Slow Cities is to improve people's quality of life.Towns which want to become a Slow City have to reduce traffic and noise,increase the number of green areas,plant trees,build pedestrian zones,and promote local businesses and traditions.Now it has spread to other countries all over the world, from the UK to Japan and Australia.There are now 135 Slow Cities in 24 countries across the
world that have been named since its founding in 1999.Gao Chun County,in east China's Jiangsu
Province,is expected to be named the first"Slow City"in China next year.
“Slow Cities are about having a community life in the town,"said a local resident.“It is not
'slow'as in 'stupid'.It is 'slow'as in the opposite of worried'and 'stressful'”
But not everybody is happy.For teenagers,who have to go 25 km to Norwich,the nearest city,to buy CDs,living in a Slow City is not very attractive."It's all right here for adults,"says Lewis Cook,16."But if you want excitement,you have to go to Norwich.We need more things
here for young people.”
()36.What's the aim of the Slow Food movement
A.To call on people to ea t out. B.To make people enjoy cooking.
C.To drive McDonald's out of Rome. D.To encourage people to slow down.
( )37.All the following are necessary to be a Slow City EXCEPT
A.reducing traffic and noise B.increasing the number of green areas
C building more department stores D.promoting local businesses and traditions
( )38.From the fourth paragraph,we know that
A.Slow Food was founded in 1999
B.there is no Slow City in China now
C.Slow Cities are mainly in the UK
D.there are about 24 Slow Cities in the world
( )39.How does Lewis Cook feel about living in a Slow City
A.Satisfied. B.Excited. C.Happy D.Dissatisfied.
()40.Which of the following would the founders of Slow Food agree with
A.Slow down and you'll move fast. B.Time flies and never comes back.
C.Eat slowly and you'll be healthy. D.Pay attention to the quality of life.

Zong Qinghou was a very special person in China who recently passed away,leaving many people sad about his loss.He was born in 1945 into a simple family but grew up to be an amazing
businessman and a kind-hearted man who always thought about others before himself.
Zong Qinghou first started as a worker in a school factory,showing us from the start that he was dedicated and worked really hard.He didn't just dream about success;he chased it with all he had.In the late 1980s,Zong decided to take a big step by starting his own small business.He sold ice cream and drinks.This might seem like a small thing,but it was the beginning of something huge.His small business grew into the Wahaha Group,a big name in China known for making delicious drinks.One of their most famous products is a nutritional drink for kids,which became a
hit and helped make Wahah a a big success.
What makes Zong really special,though,isn't just how successful his business was.It's about how he used his success to help others.He cared deeply about other people.Even when he became very wealthy,he chose to live a simple life.He didn't spend his money on expensive things for himself.Instead,he gave a lot of his money to help others.In 2020,the company spent 942 million yuan on the construction( 建 设 )of more than 1,360 apartments for its workers in the Shangcheng district of Hangzhou.In the same year,when businesses in China had trouble due to the COVID-19 pandemic,he called for enterprises to take more responsibility to ensure the interests of employees are met and to keep employment steady.In 2023,he urged private enterprises to keep investing and developing their businesses to protect jobs.People saw him as a
kind businessman who didn't just focus on making money but also on making a difference.
Zong Qinghou's life teaches us some important lessons.Success isn't just about making money;it's also about working hard,staying humble,and helping others.Zong believed in putting the interests of his country and its people first.His story is a reminder to all of us that we should try to make a positive difference in the world and in the lives of the people around us.He was a

The clock rules our lives.The more we try to save time,the less time we seem to have.In every area of our lives we are doing things faster.And many of us live in towns and cities which are getting noisier and more stressful as each day passes.But now a worldwide movement,whose aim is to slow life down,has started.Its supporters are people who believe that a happier and
healthier way of life is possible.
The Slow Food movement was founded the day that an Italian journalist,Carlo Petrini,saw that McDonald's had opened a restaurant in a beautiful square in Rome.He thought it was sad that many people today live too quickly to sit down for a proper meal and only eat much fast food.He decided that he had to try to do something about it and so he started the Slow Food movement. Slow Food has become a global organization ever since and now has more than 80,000 members
in 100 countries.
Slow Food also encourages people to eat local and regional food,to use local shops and
markets,to eat out in small family restaurants,and to cook with traditional recipes.
The idea of Slow Cities was inspired by the Slow Food movement.The aim of Slow Cities is to improve people's quality of life.Towns which want to become a Slow City have to reduce traffic and noise,increase the number of green areas,plant trees,build pedestrian zones,and promote local businesses and traditions.Now it has spread to other countries all over the world, from the UK to Japan and Australia.There are now 135 Slow Cities in 24 countries across the
world that have been named since its founding in 1999.Gao Chun County,in east China's Jiangsu
Province,is expected to be named the first"Slow City"in China next year.
“Slow Cities are about having a community life in the town,"said a local resident.“It is not
'slow'as in 'stupid'.It is 'slow'as in the opposite of worried'and 'stressful'”
But not everybody is happy.For teenagers,who have to go 25 km to Norwich,the nearest city,to buy CDs,living in a Slow City is not very attractive."It's all right here for adults,"says Lewis Cook,16."But if you want excitement,you have to go to Norwich.We need more things
here for young people.”
()36.What's the aim of the Slow Food movement
A.To call on people to ea t out. B.To make people enjoy cooking.
C.To drive McDonald's out of Rome. D.To encourage people to slow down.
( )37.All the following are necessary to be a Slow City EXCEPT
A.reducing traffic and noise B.increasing the number of green areas
C building more department stores D.promoting local businesses and traditions
( )38.From the fourth paragraph,we know that
A.Slow Food was founded in 1999
B.there is no Slow City in China now
C.Slow Cities are mainly in the UK
D.there are about 24 Slow Cities in the world
( )39.How does Lewis Cook feel about living in a Slow City
A.Satisfied. B.Excited. C.Happy D.Dissatisfied.
()40.Which of the following would the founders of Slow Food agree with
A.Slow down and you'll move fast. B.Time flies and never comes back.
C.Eat slowly and you'll be healthy. D.Pay attention to the quality of life.
