Growing up on her own

WORLD No 2 tennis player Jelena Jankovic from Serbia (塞尔维亚) has won her second title of the year. She became champion of the China Open on September 28.
Jankovic first practiced tennis when she was nine years old. After six months Jankovic played her first match.
It was the national championship for kids up to 10 years old. She came to the semi-finals (半决赛).
When she was 11, she won a national championship for girls up to 12 years old. In order to continue her career, Jelena left Serbia and went to the United States.
At that time, she didn’t speak any English. And her family did not come with her. It was a hard time.
“I did not know what I needed to do when I was going to school. I could not do my homework. When you have a difficulty, there is nobody to help you. So, you learn it the hard way,” Jelena said.
However, it was a good learning experience for Jelena. “It makes me more independent (独立的) and stronger as a person. I know how to do everything by myself so I don’t have to depend on (依赖) my parents or somebody else to do it for me,” she said.
In the US, Jelena received better conditions for practice and development of her game. In 2000, she became a professional (职业选手) and has been shining on the tennis court ever since.
根据上面短文的内容回答问题    
1. Where is Jelena Jankovic from?
2. What is Jelena Jankovic’s job?
3. Why did she leave for the United States?
4. When did she become a professional?
5. What do you think of her hard time in the United States?

Have you heard about paper-cutting? Paper-cutting is an important art form in China. Paper-cuts were used for many purposes, and everything can become the theme (主题) of paper-cuts, from people to the things that can be found in everyday life such as birds, flowers and animals.
Each paper-cut brings out the personal ideas of the author (作者). People express traditional culture or their own feelings with different styles of paper-cuts. For example, when someone marries, we put up some red paper-cuts on the wall, dressing table or other furniture to express our best wishes.
It is easy to learn paper-cutting but very difficult to make it perfect. We need a long-time practice to learn how to use the scissors and how to paint. More over, we need to learn some cutting skills.
At present, in many parts of China, paper-cutting skill has become a must for women and a symbol of a clever mind.
根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正误。正确的填“T”，错误的填“F”，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）
Not everything can become the theme of paper-cuts.

When we learn paper-cutting, we don’t need to learn cutting skills.
Women must learn paper-cutting skills in many places of China.

Chinese Culture
While China is almost the same size as the US in area, it is home to about 1.3 billion people. It has a special culture with a very long history.
Chinese Food

Food plays an important role for Chinese families. Different foods have special meanings. The most obvious(明显的) difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks. One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice. Tea is a favorite drink and it is popular in the market.
Chinese New Year
The Chinese calendar(日历) is called a lunar(阴历的) calendar. It is not the same as the one used in the US. New Year’s Day is in late winter. It is also called the Spring Festival. It has a big celebration of letting go of the old and bringing in the new. It has special foods and traditions. For example, sweeping the floor before New Year’s Day sweeps away all the old year’s bad luck.
Chinese Zodiac(生肖)
The Chinese zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao, follows a twelve-year cycle(循环). Each year is named for an animal. These animal signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For example, the year that begins in 2016 is the Year of the Monkey.

Chinese Language
Chinese is a complex(复杂的) language. Chinese writing developed almost 4,000 years ago and may even be older. Chinese writing has thousands of characters. A character represents(代表) a word and also a meaning. Unlike English, there are no spaces in Chinese writing. Besides Standard Chinese, or Putonghua, Chinese people speak six other forms of the language, and there are many kinds of dialects(方言).
Is tea a favorite drink in China?
What is the Chinese calendar called?
How many years of cycle does the Chinese zodiac follow?

From 1972 to 2012, Ms. Tu went through about 40 failures before she succeeded. But she never gave up and always fought on.
A member of the Nobel committee said that the award for Tu Youyou is the result of a great change in the way that Chinese do scientific research. He says China has spent a lot of money on this kind of research. This member also said that the work of the three scientists could help end the health risk of diseases affecting 3.4 billion people.
Is Ms. Tu the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel prize for medicine?
 
How long did it take her to make the discovery?
 
What is her greatest achievement?

Our cities are getting bigger and bigger as more people move from the country to the cities. There are lots of reasons why they do this—mostly it is easy to find work, because all the big companies are in the cities and they need lots of people to work there. When there are lots of people living and working in a city, they need things like restaurants, shops, hospitals and schools. There are more jobs that people need to do. There will be lots of transport in the city to move all the people around. Everything you want will be found in the city: government offices, museums and art galleries, cinemas, big restaurants and parks.
Unfortunately(遗憾地) the city is much busier, more expensive, and more dangerous than the country. The air is not as fresh as in the country because of all the cars and trucks on the roads. There are so many people that are not as friendly——you cannot get to know everyone as you do in the country, and people may get lonely. You do not have much room in the city——most people live in apartments——not houses, and they do not have gardens or lots of space, and because of all the people there is also a lot of noises.
The country is much cheaper to live and there are less dangerous people than you find in cities. Perhaps the best thing is that you can have a big house with a garden and it will be very quiet, but there are not many jobs or services there. There are also not many shops, schools or hospitals. It is hard to get around in the country.
Every person is different, but more and more people are choosing to live in cities because there are so many jobs to do there. What do you think about the city?
Are our cities getting bigger than before?
Why do people move to the city?
What is the best thing about the country?
What is the problem with the country?
What does the writer think about cities?

Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to England! The weather of England is very changeable (易变的). It can be rainy, sunny, cloudy, windy, stormy, warm, foggy, or cold at any time of the year. If it is raining when you get up in the morning, it can be hot and dry by the afternoon. It may be sunny when you get up, but when you go out, it may be rainy. So don’t forget to take an umbrella with you. The west of England is wetter than the east, and the north is cooler than the south. You should be ready for any kind of weather.
In England, shops are usually open from 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. On Sundays, some shops are open from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. But a lot of shops are closed. Banks, museums or other places are open from 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. You can go to the parks at any time.
All the cities have buses, trains and taxis. People wait in line for buses and they are unhappy if you push in at the front. Don’t forget that traffic goes on the left.
Be careful with yourselves when you travel in England!
