Two years ago, I was sitting in my car waiting in a long line for a toll (通行费) station.When I finally reached the station, the toll station worker told me that the person in front had paid for me and I was free to go.I was so shocked.I didn’t need to save the 5 dollars.I would never know who he was.I was tired by the heavy traffic and the long line, and that behavior was surprising and unbelievable, which really touched my heart.So I decided to pay for the next car waiting in line.
The first time I tried to pay forward the toll, I kept looking into my rear view mirror (后视镜) to see who I’d be paying for.In the mirror, I saw a tired-looking taxi driver.And I felt satisfied that my money would be going to a good place.But before we got to the toll station, the taxi driver had suddenly changed his way and now there was someone else behind me.She looked upset and was gesturing (举止) angrily in a conversation with her friend.I wasn’t willing to be paying for a woman like that and was certainly judging her by what I was seeing in the mirror.Anyway, I paid the toll for both of us and left.
Thirty seconds later I was surprised to hear a honk (鸣笛声).It was the woman and her friend waving at me from the other way! She looked cheerful and happy.She wasn’t what I thought she was like.This was a valuable lesson that I shouldn’t judge people so quickly...After all, I don’t know their stories.

The Chinese pingfeng (folding screen) is an ancient invention and traditional Chinese furniture (家具).Its earliest common use dates from the Han Dynasty.The term pingfeng means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning.
As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings.On screens usually appears a loong.It’s a symbol of light, growth and life-giving water.It also stands for nobility and power.The phoenix, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens, too.It’s a symbol of everlasting life.Beautiful flowers, which mean wealth and good luck, are also chosen as a popular design of the pingfeng.All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes.

Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical (实际) use as furniture.Acting as a moving wall or divider, it can be the perfect match (相配) for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them.

阅读下面短文,从方框中选择适当的词语填空。方框中有两个词语为多余选项。
discovered,include,marks,reaches,similar,dug,believed,earliest,announced
On March 20, the Sanxingdui Ruins in Guanghan, Sichuan drew the world’s attention.Chinese archaeologists (考古学家)1.announced that they have found more than 500 cultural relics (文物) in six pits (坑) at the site, which dates back over 3,200 years.The relics include bronzeware (青铜器), gold and bronze masks, ivory, jade (玉器) and textiles (纺织品).
The Sanxingdui Ruins, which were first 2.discovered in 1929, are believed to be the remains of the ancient Shu Kingdom.The kingdom was a center of civilization (文明) along the upper 3.reaches of Yangtze River.
The discovery of Sanxingdui raised an important question about the origins of Chinese civilization.The ancient Shu civilization that built Sanxingdui is believed to be one of the 4.earliest examples of Chinese civilization.The site, along with the Liangzhu and Shijiahe sites along the Yangtze River, shows that the birthplace of Chinese civilization might not have been only along the Yellow River Basin (流域) in north China.
The newly-discovered relics are 5.similar to those found in 1986, as they also include divine trees and bronze masks.They further support the idea that the pits were used for sacrificial purposes.
New kinds of cultural relics have also been 6.dug up.For example, experts found two square zun (樽), a kind of ancient bronze jar (罐子) that was used for holding water or wine.They also found cong—a jade artifact commonly found at the 5,000-year-old Liangzhu Archaeological Ruins in Zhejiang Province.
“These artifacts show that the Sanxingdui site had a close connection with Central China, but it also 7.marks an original ancient civilization (in Sichuan) with strong creativity,” said Chen Xiandan, a member of the excavation (发掘) project.
