Years ago, I celebrated my 40th birthday with friends in a two-floor restaurant. Many arrived earlier and waited outside the restaurant. As I was on the roadside, a homeless man came near to me and 16 money. I let him know I didn’t have any 17 with me. With a quiet smile on his face, he moved on.

Although I was 21 deeply by his generosity（慷慨）, accepting money from a homeless man was embarrassing for me. I felt very uncomfortable.

Please take this.” I held out my 23 —without thinking twice, saying, “Thank you.”

A
We all know that there are two versions of written Chinese characters. People in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan use traditional characters. And on the Chinese mainland we write with simplified ones.
However, at this year’s Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference（CPPCC）, well-known film director Feng Xiaogang suggested that schools should teach students 50-200 of the most meaningful traditional Chinese characters. “It is not to get rid of the simplified characters, but to let the children know about the most important part of traditional Chinese culture,” said Feng.
Take two simplified characters as an example, “亲”（meaning dear, or relatives）and “爱”（meaning love）. The traditional version for “亲” is “親”, which has an extra “見” meaning “see”; while “爱” is written as “愛” in the traditional way, which has an extra “心” meaning “heart”. “Love needs ‘heart’ and relatives need to ‘see’ each other,” Feng said. “The simplified versions of these
characters have lost their human touch.”
Learning traditional Chinese will also help people better understand Chinese historical works written in traditional characters, said Lu Bo, editor-in-chief of Macao Daily News. However, many people think it not necessary to do so. They say simplified characters are easier to learn and write, and people have got used to them.
“Traditional Chinese characters are too hard for beginners and students don’t have the language environment outside the classroom,” Zhang Jian, a Guangzhou primary school teacher, told the Yang
cheng Evening News. Moreover, the simplified characters come from the traditional ones, which means they can also promote and keep traditional culture, said Chinese character expert Dang Huaixing.
26. How does the writer explain the importance of learning some traditional Chinese characters?
A. By telling stories.
B. By giving examples.

D. By explaining reasons.

A. give up

28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage above?
A. Nowadays, all Chinese people in the world write with simplified characters.
B. A film director advised schools to teach students to learn traditional Chinese characters instead of the simplified ones.
C. Some people consider that simplified characters are good and have no need to be changed.
D. Zhang Jian agrees with the learning of the traditional characters.
29. What’s the writer’s attitude towards learning traditional characters?
A. The writer strongly supports the idea.
B. The writer disagrees with the idea.
C. The writer talks about the idea objectively.

Isatou Ceesay was born in 1972 in a small village in the Gambia, Africa. As a teenager, Ceesay was forced to drop out of school because of poverty. She used a woven basket to carry some goods to sell in the market to raise herself. When the basket broke, she took a plastic bag and started using it. She liked how strong and light the plastic bag was. Other people in the Gambia thought the same and saw the same advantages of plastic bags. Then plastic bags became popular in the Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses in her village were surrounded by rubbish.
Ceesay lived in such an environment for many years. She kept learning from the surrounding environment and planned to take action to change it. In 1997, she started a recycling movement called One Plastic Bag in the Gambia. She educated women in the Gambia to recycle plastic waste. In the beginning, the movement had a task of educating villagers about the need to reuse rubbish and recycle plastic waste, rather than letting the rubbish increase behind their homes.
Over time, the movement became big and was able to provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in the Gambia. But the work of collecting rubbish turned out to be
difficult. During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and hard to take, and after that, it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed.
Ceesay said, “As a habit, people are used to pouring their rubbish behind their houses, and because it is not visible, they forget it. But the bad effects knock on your door very quickly--dirty air, various diseases and so on. Of course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbor’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.”
For many years, Ceesay has continued to deal with the plastic waste. In 2012, she got the TIAW Difference Maker Award in Washington, DC, the United States. Her story was written into a book,
which inspires many others to make a change in their own communities.

31. What can we infer about Ceesay’s recycling movement?
A. Women in the village are willing to recycle plastic waste.
B. Few workers are needed to do the recycling work.
C. It improved people’s income and the environment.
D. It mainly wanted to help people become rich.
32. What do we learn from Ceesay’s words?
A. Bad habits are hard to change once formed.
B. Plastic problems lead greatly to climate change.
C. The relationship between neighbors. is important.
D. Dealing with plastic waste is a shared responsibility.

C
Imagine, one day, we will get out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours. Then, after a full day of work, we can go back home to Beijing and having dinner there.
Sounds like a fully packed day, doesn’t it? But it will not be a dream one day with the development of China’s high-speed railway system. And that’s not all. China has an even more ambitious high-speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe,
“China is planning to enlarge its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, finally reaching London and Singapore,” said Wang Mengshu, a Beijing Jiaotong University professor who has taken part in every major Chinese express-railway project.
Wang said China has planned three such projects, although the specific routing has yet to be decided. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.
“Japan may be famous for its bullet trains, but if China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days,” Wang explained.
Well, two days still sounds like quite a long trip, but think about how many countries the train passes through--you’d never have enough time to enjoy the view.
According to Wang, the new system would still follow China’s high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an now, almost as fast as some airplanes.
China’s bullet train, the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the world’s fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours. “That’s comparable to the distance from Boston to Virginia,” said Beth Loyd, an ABC News producer, in an article. “That’s less time than Amtrak’s [the US rail company] fastest train takes to go from New York to Boston [a shorter distance].”
34. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Encourage people to travel by railway.
B. Introduce the big railway plan of China.
C. Call on people to go travelling around the world.
D. Compare the power of making railway with other countries.
35. Why does the writer say that going back home to Beijing from Shanghai within a day is not a dream?
A. Because China has a powerful transportation.
B. Because it is easy for people to fly from Shanghai to Beijing in China.
C. Because China has already developed a powerful high-speed railway system.
D. Because China is building a high-speed railway and even the network around the world.
36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Some of the trains in China are able to go as fast as some airplanes.
B. China has decided three major Chinese express-railway projects and begins to build them.
C. The China’s bullet train that connects Wuhan to Guangzhou has the fastest speed in the world.
D. People could travel from London to Beijing within two days if we make progress. in building the high-speed railway system.
37. The passage can be described as a（an）________.
