April 20 Chinese Language Day
As one of the six official working languages of the United Nations（UN）（联合国）， Chinese Language Day has been celebrated since 2011． The UN holds colorfulactivities on this day． This helps spread Chinese and Chinese culture．
However， Chinese is more popular around the world today． The long history and colorful culture of China attract many foreigners to learn Chinese ．With the rapid development， China is staying ahead in many fields and is playing its role in the world． Chinese is becoming a global （全球的） language and its popularity has risen around the world． Many countries set up Chinese courses in their schools．
For example， in the UK， students used to choose between Spanish， Latin， French and other foreign languages． But now schools encourage their students to study Chinese． The increase in popularity of Chinese has been surprising． 1031 people took Chinese language exams in 2001， and the number was 2062 last year， while 2561 people chose Spanish． It's predicted that studying Chinese in the UK could overtake（超过） Spanish in less than five years．
Just like the foreigners do， we also learn foreign languages． Different languages carry different cultures． So exchanges are necessary． By learning a foreign language， we not only have a useful tool of communicating， but experience a new culture， what's more important， learning a foreign language well will help us tell our own stories to the world．
（1）Please translate the underlined sentence into English．
（2）According to the passage， why is it difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese？
（3）Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese．
（4）How does the UN celebrates Chinese Language Day？
（5）Compared with 2001， how many more people took Chinese language exams in the UK last year？ What does the result tell us？

We've heard about several "poor students" in the past year． Cui Qingtao， a student from Yunnan， working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter（录取通知书） from Peking University． （1） She is a student form Hebei． She was doing her part﹣time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University．
（2） For example， they are all strong and optimistic （乐观的）． Li Enhui said in an interview， "As long as we are alive， there are no problems that cannot be solved， and many people don't have my experiences． （3） " Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed． He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money by himself． This is also the common thing that "poor students" have．
Whatever kind of values you hold， such personalities（ 品 格 ） are necessary for growth． （4） Not everything goes well all the time． Only being strong and optimistic， can one go through difficulties． In fact， living in poor families doesn't promise such good personalities， and living in happiness doesn't promise optimistic attitudes（态度）． We like such "poor students" because they are strong and optimistic．
For them， few can choose their lifestyles． （5） That's why they are highly praised． Every one of us should learn from them．
A．Life is full of ups and downs．
B．A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example．
C．"Poor students" are usually hard﹣working and caring．
D．And these experiences make me grow and become better．
E．Born in poor families， these students have a lot in common．
F．However， all of them can choose their attitudes towards life．
Experts in nutrition（营养）suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day．They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well．They can help reduce（减少）the risk of getting ill．There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious．（1）
It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket，so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own？Here are several good reasons：
（2） You can pick and eat it at once．When you have tried it，you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket．
You may want to cut down on your "food miles" ﹣ the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen．Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth．（3）
Homegrown food is likely to be healthier．Food producers often use fertilizers（化肥）and pesticides（农药）which can end up in your food．If you grow your own，things are different．（4） You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit．These often have more of the vitamins，minerals（矿物质）and protein（蛋白质）that keep you healthy．
（5） And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard or a balcony（阳台）．Some food can grow well in pots，including lettuce，tomatoes，potatoes and carrots．You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something．Just make sure there are holes for drainage（排水）and a small plate under them to catch drops of water．
Happy gardening!
| A．Best of all，you can grow your own! B．But where to grow your own is a problem． C．That's not so good for you，or for the planet． D．Food that you grow yourself is always fresh． E．If you have a large garden，growing your own is easy． F．You can control what goes on and into the food you eat． G．So it's better to eat more vegetables and fruit in our daily life． |
A proverb is a short， well﹣known saying that expresses a common truth or belief． Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old．

Franklin wrote a book called "Poor Richard's Almanac"． （2） Some of them are still used today， like this one： "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy， wealthy and wise．"
Franklin is also remembered for other proverbs like， "A penny saved is a penny earned．"（3） ．
Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use． The first ones are about love． Some people say， "All is fair in love and war．" They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable．
（4） In other words， when you are in love with someone， you may refuse to see anything bad about that person．
Here is another popular saying about love： "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach．" Some people believe that a woman can win a man's love if she prepares his favorite foods．
"（5） " This proverb is true in love and war or other situations． It means that what you do is more important than what you say．
We have to stop here， so we must say， "All good things must come to an end．"
