Every week in China,millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero,which is a Chinesestyle spelling bee (拼寫大賽).In this challenge,young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand.To prepare for the competition,the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
   Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise.Along with gunpowder and paper,many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy (書法) to be one of their primary contributions.Unfortunately,all over the country,Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help.Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet(字母).The correct character is chosen from a list.The result?It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
   But there's still hope for the paint brush.China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
   In one Beijing primary school we visited,students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls.Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink.They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully trying to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. "If adults can survive without using handwriting,why bother to teach it now?" we ask the calligraphy teacher,Shen Bin. "The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture," she reasons. "Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up." says the teacher.

  • 2.When Mark Levine,an English-language instructor at Beijing's Minzu University of China,was first invited to attend a Chinese colleague's wedding in Jiangsu province in 2017,his second year in China,the California native was ready to present a small decorative gift for the new couple as he used to do in the United States.
       However,his gesture suddenly didn't seem proper as he realized the Chinese at the ceremony had red envelopes filled with cash to present rather than a packed gift.
       "It's a little bit embarrassing when you present something that people didn't expect to receive on certain occasions," Levine,who used to be a social worker in the US,told China Daily recently.
       "In the US,people do that as well but only for close relatives.People would normally give things as presents,while here in China red envelopes are more commonly welcomed."
       It was the first time the 66-year-old discovered the ceremony-including taboos(禁忌)-in gift giving.He was not alone,as the recent argument following a British minister's visit to Taipei,Taiwan,revealed.
       British Minister of State for Transport Baroness Susan Kramer presented a watch in January to Ko Wen-je,mayor of Taipei,when she visited the city,immediately sparking headlines as she broke a long-held taboo in Chinese culture.
      A clock or watch,or zhong in Mandarin,signifies "the end" in Chinese,and many associate it with death.Therefore,giving someone,especially an elder,a clock or watch implies "your time is up".
       Kramer later apologized for the gaffe(失禮),but Ko was also blamed for his "rude" response as he told reporters that he had no use for the watch and would sell it for cash.
       However,some foreigners in China,such as Mark Dreyer,support Ko in this particular debate. "When I heard about the story,I felt embarrassed," said Dreyer,a British citizen who has lived and worked in China since 2007. "After all, 'don't give clocks or watches to your hosts' is on page 1 of most China travel guides.I'm embarrassed by the lack of respect shown by the British for not even reading about the customs ahead of time."

    (1)What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph3 refer to?

    A.Presenting gifts.
    B.Giving cash.
    C.Attending weddings.
    D.Receiving money.
    (2)How did the public view Ko's response to the gift?

    A.They considered it a smart move.
    B.They believed he had no other choice.
    C.They saw it as a rudeness.
    D.They thought it proper.
    (3)What was Dreyer's attitude to the British Minister's gift?

    A.Negative.
    B.Supportive.
    C.Positive.
    D.Doubtful.
    (4)What can we learn from the passage?

    A.Presenting red envelopes is a bad custom in China.
    B.British know nothing about Chinese customs.
    C.Americans don't expect to receive cashes as gifts.
    D.Chinese don't expect to receive clocks as gifts.

  • 3.People in Brazil mark Carnival(狂歡節(jié))every year and it is considered to be one of the most important national holidays.It is not about a big moment in history or a famous person,but it is important for the people because it is a time of friendship,freedom,and many days without work.People can choose between parties and rest.Most people choose parties,day after day,night after night.
       Carnival is celebrated forty days earlier than Easter,but it is not recognized by the church.It lasts four days and four nights.People put on their holiday clothes and go out into the streets or to clubs to enjoy themselves together.
       There are also some celebration activities.For instance,samba schools make a parade showing their music and beautiful cars.They are followed by people.Every year the parade tells a different story,and each city has one or more schools like this.
       In the south the celebration of Carnival comes back to normal by Wednesday.The problem is that it is not recognized by the church in the northwest where the Carnival is more traditional.There,people do not respect its end and continue to party until the next Sunday.
       Carnival is my favorite holiday,but I do not agree that the party should keep going.Like at other popular parties,people drink,dance and have fun.Unfortunately,some people are not very responsible and give it a bad name,leaving a bad impression of this holiday,but it is the only national holiday that brings the whole country and its different people and cultures together.
