Chinese media and Internet users on Monday condemned lack of morals in society after a toddler（学步的幼儿）was struck twice –by two different vans-and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl．

The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and broadcast by Southern Television Guangdong （TVS），showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct.13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province．The driver fled the scene of the accident，leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk．Over the

next six minutes，more than a dozen people walked by the girl，yet not one individual did anything to help her．The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses．

Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized，remains in a deep coma．The girl’s parents，who are migrants living in the city，are now with her．Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested．However，the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public，as Internet forums have seethed with anger，and people are questioning the morality of society．

High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public．

But in recent years，the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society’s val ues．

On Sept.2 an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed，his face striking the pavement．Yet，no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose．Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her．

A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exemptSamaritans from liability, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma．

Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator，said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society．

16．According to the passage，what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?

A．He/ she would be condemned by the public．

B．He/ she would be awarded by the government．

C．He/ she would have to worry about liability．

A．Nobody helped the girl who was struck twice by two different vans．

B．The toddler died immediately after she was hit a second time．

C．High moral standards were once regarded as national pride in China．

D．Journalists from TVS captured the incident by using a camera．

18．In recent years，society’s values is believed to be affected by ．

A．profit and materialism B．people’s perceptions

C．the apathy of bystanders D．the morals of society

19．According to Cao Lin，what is the fundamental reason for not helping the girl?

A．The worry of liability．

B．Lack of laws that exempt Samaritans from liability．

C．The decline of humanity in society．

D．The fear of being accused of harming her．

20．Where is the article most probably taken from?

A．A fashion magazine．B．A news report．

C．A science fiction．D．An education column．

Cooking food over a smoky fire is found everywhere in the world. It is often difficult to find

wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun. Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in 1767. Today, people are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking water to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.

There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cooker. It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sunlight into the box. Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering the top of the cooker. A box oven is effective for slow cooking of large amounts of food.

The second kind of solar oven is a panel cooker. It includes several flat walls, or panels, which directly reflect the sun’s light onto the food. The food is inside a separate container of plas tic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel cookers quickly and with very few supplies. They do not cost much. In Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.

The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven. Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens. However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be re-aimed often to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.

You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232 degrees Celsius. A solar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.

To learn more about solar cooking, you can write to Solar Cookers International. The postal address is nineteen-nineteen Twenty-First Street, Sacramento, California, nine-five-eight-one-one, USA. Or you can visit the group’s Internet Web site. The address is https://www.doczj.com/doc/c617430163.html,.

Many Chinese high school students are fed up with their parents' nagging . They think their parents' high expectations are a burden. But a recent survey found that they are much luckier than teenagers in Japan, the Republic of Korea and the US, who also find their parents constantly annoying. The parents of foreign teens have even higher expectations of their children than

Chinese moms and dads.

Sixty-two per cent of Chinese fathers and 66 per cent of Chinese mothers have high expectations of their children at high school age. They rank third and fourth among fathers and mothers of the four countries.

Japanese mothers top the list with 76 per cent having high expectations, while 70 per cent of Korean fathers expect too much of their children. Japanese teens are the most deeply troubled by their parents constantly comparing them with other kids.

The survey of high school students' views of life in China, Japan, South Korea and the US, was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were questioned.

The survey also found that with the smallest burden, Chinese students are the most satisfied with their parents. They blame them less, and also receive less criticism than students from the other three countries.

However, satisfaction doesn't mean they are happy. Of the four countries, Chinese children are not the happiest at home. They get the least praise from their parents and they don't feel able to express their unhappiness to them.

"Results from the survey show that despite different cultural backgrounds, generation gaps exist in many countries other than China. It's even bigger elsewhere," said Sun Yunxiao, from the China Youth and Children Research Centre.

He said that Chinese parents are used to burying their feelings deep in their hearts. This makes their children not want to talk openly with them. "This survey shows that both parents and teenagers in China need to work on communicating and understanding each other."

Besides their family life, students were also questioned about their opinions on themselves and others in the world.

US students displayed more "individuality ," with 88 per cent agreeing that "people should follow their own interests instead of those of others". Koreans were the next most independent, followed by the Chinese and Japanese.

But strong ambition is observed in Chinese high schools. Only 41 per cent of high school students are content with "an average living", compared with Koreans at 48 per cent, the Japanese at 66 per cent and Americans at 72 per cent.

25.Why does the writer think Chinese high school students are much luckier than teenagers in Japan, the Republic of Korea and the US?

A. Because Chinese parents have less expectations of their children in the four countries

B. Because Chinese high school students are happy at homes.

C. Because Chinese high school students don’t have strong ambition.

D. Because there isn’t generation gap in China

26.The following topics are discussed in the passage except______.

A. generation gap

B. parents’ expectation

C. independence

D. cultural backgrounds

27.Which order can best describe the ambition the students have in the four countries?

A. Korean students, Japanese students, American students, Chinese students,

B. Chinese students, American students, Japanese students, Korean students

C. Chinese students, Korean students, Japanese students, American students,

D. Japanese students, American students, Korean students, Chinese students

―Long time no see‖ is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing ―Long time no see．‖ This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．

Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named ―Charlie Chan‖ on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius．―Long time no see‖ was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，―Long time no see‖ became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．

Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a

minority ethnic group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．

You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．

28．According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．

A．detectives translate the phrase ―Long time no see‖

B．Hollywood made ―Long time no see‖ popular

C．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages

D．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew

29．The main idea of the passage is that ______．

A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into English

B．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America

C．some American expressions can be used in China

D．American English keep being enriched from different cultures

30．According to the passage，which of the following statements is not true?

A．Informal language s ometimes doesn’t go with grammar and structure．

B．Languages are always ruled by grammar and structure．

C．―Long time no see‖ has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage．

D．There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew．
