The Mechanical Clock
Have you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete.The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China.The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty.This was during 618 and 907.
Silk Fabric
Silk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention.Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes.The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.

Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms?
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face. ” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass. ” Or “people mountain, people sea”, which means “very crowded”.
These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up”, you will be considered “out man”.
Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination by the English word smile and silence.
Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it’s actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture. ”
However, Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic” in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier for communication between Chinese and people from other countries, ”a Beijinger said.
Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it’s Chinese’s turn.
4. What can we call Chinglish?
A. English words which get new Chinese meanings.
B. The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.
C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.
D. The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.
5. What does “smilence” most probably mean?
A. Saying nothing but to smile.
B. Smiling without being noticed.
C. Laughing at somebody.
D. Knowing little about speech.
6. What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish?
A. It can show the humour of Chinese.
B. It will attract more foreign tourists.
C. It helps him to learn Chinese well.
D. It seems part of Chinese culture.
7. Why Chinglish is likely to become a “cultural relic” in Beijing?
A. Because it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English.
B. Because Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English.
C. Because it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners.
D. Because Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs.
C
There is an old saying in China that goes, “The days of the Sanjiu period are the coldest days. ” “Sanjiu period”, which is in Minor(较小的) Cold, refers to the third nine-day period (the 19th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice(冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold in China.
Eating hotpot
During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.
Eating huangyacai
In Tianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and braising.
Eating glutinous rice(糯米饭)
According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese people add some fried preserved(腌制的) pork, sausage and peanuts and mix them into the rice.
Eating vegetable rice
In ancient times, people in Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today. The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious. Among the ingredients(原料), aijiaohuang (a kind of green vegetable), sausage and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
12. What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?
A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.
C. If you take naps every day, you’ll never suffer from heart disease.
D. Taking naps regularly is good to people’s health.
13. If you get up at 6: 30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?
A. About 12: 30 pm. B. About 1: 30 pm.
C. About 2: 30 pm. D. About 3: 30 pm.
14. What would be the best title for the text?
A. All for a Nap
B. Just for a Rest
C. A Special Sleep Pattern
D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate
15. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A. Because you eat too much for lunch.
B. Because it’s hot in summer.
C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.

Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel (争吵) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help crying sadly when she thought of the angry words from her mother.After she walked aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt hungry but had no money.She stood in front of a shop which sold noodles for several minutes, but she had to leave.The seller of the noodle shop came out and noticed the young girl.
“Hey, girl, you want to have noodles？”
“Oh, yes, but I have no money on me，”she replied.
“Oh, that's nothing. I'll treat you today，”the owner said，“come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive.As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it？” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness！” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger！”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your thanks to her？”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock；she remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to say sorry to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
Paragraph 1：
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.

The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

C. If you take naps every day, you’ll never suffer from heart disease.

14. What would be the best title for the text?
A. All for a Nap
B. Just for a Rest
C. A Special Sleep Pattern

Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel (争吵) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help crying sadly when she thought of the angry words from her mother.After she walked aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt hungry but had no money.She stood in front of a shop which sold noodles for several minutes, but she had to leave.The seller of the noodle shop came out and noticed the young girl.
“Hey, girl, you want to have noodles？”
“Oh, yes, but I have no money on me，”she replied.
“Oh, that's nothing. I'll treat you today，”the owner said，“come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive.As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it？” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness！” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger！”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your thanks to her？”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock；she remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to say sorry to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
Paragraph 1：
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.

A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother.“Here you come! I've been looking for you，” she said, tired and relieved.Jenny couldn't help throwing herself into her mother's arms.“Mum, I'm so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude.Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently.
