Since the NCP (新冠肺炎) outbreak began in December, Japan has given away a lot of medical supplies (物资) to China. On the boxes of these supplies, poems are often written. Taken from ancient Chinese and Japanese poems, these powerful and inspiring lines show heartfelt wishes for Chinese people. And they let people know that ancient stars still shine in modern times. Let’s take a look at some of them.
山川异域,风月同天。
Lands apart, sky shared.
This line comes from a Buddhist hymn (佛诗) by the Japanese Prince Nagaya (长屋亲王). This hymn reminds us of the cultural exchanges between both countries in history. At that time, the prince wrote the hymn as an invitation for Chinese Buddhist monks(僧侣) to visit Japan. Inspired by the hymn, Jianzhen, a well-known monk of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), started his travel to Japan soon after.
岂曰无衣?与子同裳。
Fear not the want of armor(盔甲), for mine is also yours to wear.
This line is from a battle song of the Qin state, Wuyi (《无衣》), in the Book of Songs (《诗经》). The song refers to (指的是) soldiers sharing their armor, encouraging each other to win the war. The Chinese phrase “同裳” has the same meaning as “同袍” and “袍泽” which also come from this song. They all mean those who have fought together in armies.
青山一道同云雨,明月何曾是两乡。
Though separated by a mountain, we’ll share the same clouds and rain/The bright moon belongs not to a single town.
This sentence is from Tang poet Wang Changling’s Seeing Off Imperial Censor Chai (《送柴侍御》). This poem was written after the poet was demoted (贬官) and sent to a faraway place. He wanted to show that even though he had to separate with his friend, their friendship would continue.

A.Prince Nagaya B.Jianzhen C.Wang Changling D.a Chinese monk
2.In the poems, people in different places can share the same things EXCEPT ________.
A.clothes B.the sky C.clouds and rain D.the bright moon
3.The theme of the poems written on the boxes is ________.

4.We can know from the passage that ________.

Chinese buyers used to like foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that's no longer the case.
Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, billionaire William Li told Business Insider(商业内幕) during a recent interview on CCTV9.
But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.
"When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big," Li said. "But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference."
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where Western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse(瑞士信贷)published(发表) in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a "home brand bias(偏爱)” .
More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance(设备) brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3.3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.
"Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better.
Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ' Made in China' is not bad at all," Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37%from a 2015 high of 54%.
1.The underlined word “share” in the passage means________ in Chinese.
A.分享 B.份额 C.分担
2.William Li found a big difference between ________ in 1997.
A.China andAmerica B.China and Europe C.America and Europe
3.Who did most of the research for this report?
A.Credit Suisse.
B.South China Morning Post.
C.Business Insider.
4.Which of the following is true?
A.More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.
B.Older Chinese people don’t like foreign products any more.
C.More and more Chinese people prefer Chinese products.
5.What's the best title for this passage?
A.Chinese products get more popular at home.
B.Young Chinese are crazy for foreign brands.
C."Made in China" is welcomed all over the world.

"Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?" Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.
As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.
In 1850s. Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.
He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith ( 信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.
So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs-the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.
Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their
families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.
The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy's life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books-War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.
Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many
people all over the world.
