The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes, after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years. Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve. “Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongging, “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing. A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said. To the mainstream culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation. People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect way and it is for the public to choose. 【1】The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ________. A.fake (假的) cell-phones B.electronic products C.Spring Festival Gala D.Olympic buildings 【2】According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture means ________.

Stages of Hurricane: Simple Storms Grow Into Giants A storm progresses through four different stages before it is actually considered a hurricane. First is a tropical disturbance (热带扰动), which has thunderstorms and rotating (旋转) winds. Next is a tropical depression (热带低气压), which is similar to a tropical disturbance, but has winds between 23 and 39 miles per hour. A tropical storm is the next level, which has stronger wind speeds between 40and 73 miles per hour. Once winds reach 74 miles per hour the storm is officially called a hurricane. The wind picks up energy from the warm surface ocean water. As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to become weaker or break apart and reduce in strength. This is because it is no longer over the warm ocean water that it needs for energy. At this point, a hurricane can still cause a lot of damage because of high winds, rain, and flooding. But unless it makes its way back over the open ocean, it is downgraded from a hurricane back to a tropical storm. What’s Your Name, Hurricane? Hurricanes and tropical storms are given names to help people recognize them. Scientists refer to hurricanes and storms by name as they track them across the ocean. Before 1953, hurricanes were not given official names. From 1953 through 1978, hurricanes were only given female names, like Isabel, Camille, Claudette, and Wilma. Beginning in 1979, hurricanes were given the names of both women and men. Today, the names alternate male and female, and they are named in order of letters. For example, in 2010, storms were named as follows: Alex (male), Bonnie (female), Colin (male), Danielle (female), Earl (male) and so on… There are six different lists of names that change, so the same names are used every six years. The only way that a new name is added is when a hurricane has been particularly deadly or costly and the name is retired, then replaced with a new one. 【1】Which of the following is the right order of stages of a hurricane? A.Tropical depression, tropical disturbance, tropical storm, hurricane B.Tropical disturbance, tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane C.Tropical storm, tropical depression, tropical disturbance, hurricane D.Tropical storm, tropical disturbance, tropical depression, hurricane 【2】What happens when a hurricane crosses over land? A.It breaks apart and forms tornadoes. B.It returns to the ocean afterwards. C.It moves more quickly. D.It becomes less powerful. 【3】The underlined word “alternate” in paragraph 4 means “____”. A.take turns between B.carry or C.come from D.cause trouble to 【4】What do we know about the hurricanes? A.Six common hurricane names are often used. B.An old name will be replaced every year. C.Most of them are deadly and costly. D.They didn’t have official names until 1953. |

Why Do We Forget Things? When it comes to having perfect memories, it is apparent that we humans must have had some faults in our blueprints(蓝图)! Why don’t we remember everything that we want to remember? It makes us feel upset and get discouraged. 【1】 However, it’s true that we are all forgetful. 【2】These are stored in what we call our “long-term memory”. What about before age three? Sigmund Freud, a doctor of Vienna, discovered the fact that we forget most of our early childhood. 【3】They have different opinions. A very good theory, born from the results of experimentation with babies, is that absence of language ability at the time of an event stopped us from describing it to others. 【4】 Experts say that you can keep about seven things in your memory at once for up to three days. During that time, you may forget something in order to put something else in its place, or you put it into long-term memory. What goes into short-term memory are things you’ve learned about recently, in the past day or two. 【5】For example, you may have met your favorite star last week, and this week you can tell all the details to a friend. A simple example to explain your short-term memory is to look at a list of twenty words for a minute or two. You will discover that you cannot remember more than about seven of them and that they are the ones in the beginning and at the end of the list because your mind has judged them to be more important than those in the middle. A.Scientists now know that it may take longer to remember things for the old. B.However, it is widely recognized that short-term memory can be improved. C.Sometimes, it even causes us to lose self-respect or others to think less of us. D.Psychologists have been studying what causes this forgetfulness since Freud’s time. E.Most of us have vivid memories of our lives from about age three to our present ages. F.Only if something really unusual happens does it stay in your short-term memory for longer. G.The other type of memory, the “short-term memory”, is what we are usually referring to when we say, “I forgot.” |
