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.

【题目】 Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

【题目】请认真阅读下列短文,根据所读内容在文章后表格中第 56-65 小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词,并将答案填写在答题卡标号为 56-65 的相应横线上。注意:每个空格只填 1 个单词。

In 1993 the UN decided that March 22nd is the World Water Day. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something everyone must have around the world.

The human body is 60% of water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. We also need water for cooking. We have toilets in our houses and when we brush our teeth or have a shower, we use the bathroom. Farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow.

We are lucky enough to have clean water whenever ( 无 论 何 时 ) we want, but this is not the case for many

people around the world. Do you know the fact that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink? And do you know that 2.5 billion people do not have clean toilets? That’s about 1 in 3 people in the world.

If we drink dirty water or we can’t wash our hands when we go to the toilet, it is easy to catch diseases from the bacteria (细菌) and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea (腹泻) from dirty water. In some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water and sometimes the water isn’t even clean! If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.

For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10 km, others climb mountains or even jump from a plane to the ground. At one school children walk 6 km with 6 liters of water so they can see how it feels to walk a long distance (距离) carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money for doing these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
