Tea is an important part of Chinese tradition. Tea has very close relationship to Chinese culture.

It is said that Chinese tea was discovered by King Shen Nong. People say that he lived 5,000 years ago. One summer day, while he was visiting a faraway part of his country, he felt very thirsty. The servants began to make water hot enough to turn into gas for him to drink. Dried leaves from a near plant fell into the water. The king drank some, and found it could make him feel less tried. Also as a scientist, Shen Nong was interested in the new dink. And so, tea was created in 2737 BC.

Drinking tea has many advantages. It makes people feel less tired, clears heat inside the human body and helps people lose weight. As you add a cup of tea to your daily life, please check the following helpful advice.

China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out one-child policy (政策）before. When it is carried out for some time, many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages.

From 2016, two-child policy is put into effect. In my opinion, two-child policy is good. First of all, two-child policy is the gift for some only child. For some families, maybe the parents are only child and they also can have only child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marry an only child girl, the burden（负担）on their child and his wife is too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples. Usually, a young couple looking after an old couple is a little difficult. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, two-child policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.

All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of nowadays (现在）and the future.

(  ) 1.Which country has the largest population in the world?
A. America.     B. Britain.     C. China.       D. Japan.

(  )2.The underlined phrase “carried out” in Paragraph 1 means “______ ’in Chinese.

A.携带          B.取消        C.禁止                D.实行

A. solve the population problem

B. take care of two old couples

C. share the burden of taking care of their parents

D. argue that two-child policy should be put into effect

(  ) 4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. One-child policy has its advantages and disadvantages. It’s easy for a young couple to look after an old couple.

B. It’s easy for a young couple to look after an old couple.

C. China is a great country with the largest population in the world.

 D. For some families, maybe the parents are only child and they also can have only child before 2016.

Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.

    It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.

Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems.

    Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile.

    Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.

    One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so!

    It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

If you spend some time in an English-speaking country you might hear the term “etiquette”. It means normal and polite social behavior. (3).This may seem like a difficult word at first, but it can be very useful to understand.

Etiquette is not the same in every culture or in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However, if you do this in Europe，some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China，we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example, most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice down in public places.

If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them some suggestions(建议). One of the most polite ways is to ask someone, “Would you mind doing this? “or “Would you mind not doing that? “People don’t usually like to be criticized, so we have to be careful how we do this.

(4).Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, dropping litter is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this, you can ask him, Would you mind picking it up?
