我认为，埃及和中国关系密切，两者有很多共同之处。
Because of this, Chinese literary works really strike a chord in the hearts of Egyptian readers.

Ⅰ 阅读
While English is getting more important in our schools, Chinese has become popular among foreign kids. But Chinese can be more difficult to learn. At least 16 year old Piao Chenglong thinks so. “English is easier for me. Chinese characters (汉字) have too many strokes (笔画)，” said Piao. “But I want to learn it. I want to study at Peking University when I grow up.” Piao is from Korea. He came to China in 2008.
In Korea, there are more than 300，000 Chinese learners like Piao. Some Korean students begin to learn to write the language on their first day at school. To help students learn Chinese, Korea holds speaking competitions for high school students every year.
Chinese isn't just popular in Korea. People from all the world want to learn it. The Ministry of Education of China says that nearly 130 million people from 85 countries are learning Chinese. This number will be increasing to 800 million in the coming years.
In America, Chinese is the second most popular foreign language after Spanish. Some American middle schools have Chinese classes. Students learn to make jiaozi and tie Chinese knots (中国结). Some even try to write and draw in the Chinese way!
People want to learn Chinese because China is becoming such an important country. Foreign countries want to understand China better to help them with business. The Chinese government is also helping the world learn Chinese. It has sent more than 200 Chinese teachers to more than 60 countries in the world. Many more Confucius Institutes (孔子学院) will be set up in the world. These institutes will teach Chinese to foreign students.

They don't mean it
Our family moved here from China two years ago, and we thought we were pretty well adjusted to American ways. This year my parents decided to give a party on Chinese New Year and invite some of our American friends.
The party went pretty well. Our guests were amazed at the flavor of all the special foods. After the dinner, they thanked us for showing them what a real Chinese New Year dinner was like.
“I loved the dishes. You and the girls must have spent hours doing all the work！” Mrs O'Meara said to my mother.
“The girls helped with the cutting and I'm sorry they did such a terrible job.” said Mother.
I heard a little gasp (倒吸气) from my friend Kim O'Meara, who stared wide eyes at Mother. When I asked what the matter was, she told me she just didn't understand why my mother said so.
I had to laugh. “She doesn't mean it! It's just the way she talks.”
Seeing her still confused look, I went on explaining, “In China, parents consider it good manners to deny praises about their children. Otherwise, it would be the same as bragging (自夸)．” Kim seemed a little hesitant, but she nodded anyway.
That Easter, the O'Mearas invited our family for dinner. Mrs O'Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot. As Mrs O'Meara started cutting up the cake for dessert, Mother said, “I'm not sure if I can eat one more bite. That was the best ham I've ever tasted！”
“Aw, that ham was terrible，” said Kim. “I bet you could do a lot better, Mrs Yang.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
There was a stunned (震惊的) silence around the table. I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者妈妈举办中国新年派对，为表谦虚，说自己孩子做得很糟糕。因为文化的差异，Kim(金姆)误解了作者的话。在Kim妈妈邀请作者一家人参加复活节时，Kim当面指责妈妈做得不够好，这使得大家很震惊。为什么Kim会说出那样的话？最后误会解开了吗？
[精彩范文]
There was a stunned (震惊的) silence around the table. Kim was on the receiving end of a cold stare from Mrs O'Meara, whose face reddened with embarrassment. I was also shocked at my friend's mean remark. Clearing my throat, I finally asked, “What made you talk like that to your mother？” Kim whirled around, seemingly furious. “But you were the one who told me that saying nice things about your own family was the same as bragging！” she stuttered. “I was just trying to be modest！”
I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said. “Listen, Kim，” I took her hands in mine to calm her down, “Chinese parents might say critical things about their children to show modesty but young people are always expected to be respectful to the elders.” Hearing this, Kim sighed deeply, her cheeks flushed. The awkward silence was soon dispelled as the misunderstanding was erased. Drooping her head, Kim apologized for her impolite behavior. Mrs O'Meara winked at her, joking, “That's all right. We know you didn't mean it！”

Ⅰ 阅读
While English is getting more important in our schools, Chinese has become popular among foreign kids. But Chinese can be more difficult to learn. At least 16 year old Piao Chenglong thinks so. “English is easier for me. Chinese characters (汉字) have too many strokes (笔画)，” said Piao. “But I want to learn it. I want to study at Peking University when I grow up.” Piao is from Korea. He came to China in 2008.
In Korea, there are more than 300，000 Chinese learners like Piao. Some Korean students begin to learn to write the language on their first day at school. To help students learn Chinese, Korea holds speaking competitions for high school students every year.
Chinese isn't just popular in Korea. People from all the world want to learn it. The Ministry of Education of China says that nearly 130 million people from 85 countries are learning Chinese. This number will be increasing to 800 million in the coming years.
In America, Chinese is the second most popular foreign language after Spanish. Some American middle schools have Chinese classes. Students learn to make jiaozi and tie Chinese knots (中国结). Some even try to write and draw in the Chinese way!
People want to learn Chinese because China is becoming such an important country. Foreign countries want to understand China better to help them with business. The Chinese government is also helping the world learn Chinese. It has sent more than 200 Chinese teachers to more than 60 countries in the world. Many more Confucius Institutes (孔子学院) will be set up in the world. These institutes will teach Chinese to foreign students.

They don't mean it
Our family moved here from China two years ago, and we thought we were pretty well adjusted to American ways. This year my parents decided to give a party on Chinese New Year and invite some of our American friends.
The party went pretty well. Our guests were amazed at the flavor of all the special foods. After the dinner, they thanked us for showing them what a real Chinese New Year dinner was like.
“I loved the dishes. You and the girls must have spent hours doing all the work！” Mrs O'Meara said to my mother.
“The girls helped with the cutting and I'm sorry they did such a terrible job.” said Mother.
I heard a little gasp (倒吸气) from my friend Kim O'Meara, who stared wide eyes at Mother. When I asked what the matter was, she told me she just didn't understand why my mother said so.
I had to laugh. “She doesn't mean it! It's just the way she talks.”
Seeing her still confused look, I went on explaining, “In China, parents consider it good manners to deny praises about their children. Otherwise, it would be the same as bragging (自夸)．” Kim seemed a little hesitant, but she nodded anyway.
That Easter, the O'Mearas invited our family for dinner. Mrs O'Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot. As Mrs O'Meara started cutting up the cake for dessert, Mother said, “I'm not sure if I can eat one more bite. That was the best ham I've ever tasted！”
“Aw, that ham was terrible，” said Kim. “I bet you could do a lot better, Mrs Yang.”
There was a stunned (震惊的) silence around the table. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

[精彩范文]
There was a stunned (震惊的) silence around the table. Kim was on the receiving end of a cold stare from Mrs O'Meara, whose face reddened with embarrassment. I was also shocked at my friend's mean remark. Clearing my throat, I finally asked, “What made you talk like that to your mother？” Kim whirled around, seemingly furious. “But you were the one who told me that saying nice things about your own family was the same as bragging！” she stuttered. “I was just trying to be modest！”
I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said. “Listen, Kim，” I took her hands in mine to calm her down, “Chinese parents might say critical things about their children to show modesty but young people are always expected to be respectful to the elders.” Hearing this, Kim sighed deeply, her cheeks flushed. The awkward silence was soon dispelled as the misunderstanding was erased. Drooping her head, Kim apologized for her impolite behavior. Mrs O'Meara winked at her, joking, “That's all right. We know you didn't mean it！”
