Master painter Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) was well known for having a large number of friends and students. Among them, painter Li Qiujun was special.

They got to know each other through Li's elder brother, who was one of Zhang's best friends.

They admired each other's artistic talent and became confidants, which resulted in a romantic relationship.

In 1948, Zhang produced Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape, a mountain-and-water ink painting featuring gongbi (meticulous brushwork), as a gift for Li's 50th birthday.

A year later, Zhang permanently departed from the mainland, and traveled and exhibited around the world before settling down in Taipei in 1976.

After leaving the mainland, he often said that he missed Li, who died in Shanghai in 1973.

Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Oct 4.

The painting not only marks a friendship between the two painters, but it deserves special attention because it shows Zhang at the top of his game as he sought to master the mountain-and-water style, according to C.K. Cheung, head of Sotheby's Chinese painting department.

Sotheby's will auction the work at its major autumn sale, which runs from Oct 1 to 5.

Cheung says the painting's composition and Zhang's attention to details reflect his incorporation of traditional touches, especially from Song Dynasty (960-1279) paintings, while also developing his own style.

1.The underlined word ¡°confidants¡± in paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A. enemiesB. collegesC. friendsD. painters

2.How old was Li Qiujun when she died?

A. 50B. 75C. 78D. 84

3.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape was originally a gift for Li's 50th birthday.

B. Zhang Daqian permanently departed from the mainland in 1949.

C. Sotheby's will auction Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape in Hong Kong.

D. Li Qiujun's elder brother was also one of ZhangDaqian's students.

Chinese New Year is approaching and preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.

London

Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London¡¯s Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns (µÆÁý), previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (ÔÓ¼¼), martial arts (ÎäÊõ), dance and opera nearby.

San Francisco

San Francisco¡¯s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.

Bangkok

With an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital¡¯s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.

Mauritius

Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation¡¯s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the streets.

1.According to the text, which of the following has the longest history?

A. London¡¯s Chinatown.

B. Bangkok¡¯s Chinatown.

Food for Italians isn¡¯t a trend; it¡¯s a way of life. Italians live to eat, and the importance of food in family life is absolutely important and deep-rooted in everyday routines.

In Italy, kids are encouraged to be part of every social occasion that revolves around food ¡ª it¡¯s not about dividing the children from the adults, giving them separate meals or putting them to bed early. In Britain, by contrast, my sister and I often see children eating separate meals from their parents.

Letting children experience food like an Italian will develop not just their palate(ζ¾õ) but also their social skills, manners, teaching them new and mature ways to interact. Here are some food customs that are part of every Italian child¡¯s upbringing.

One of the most celebrated Italian food customs is the morning coffee. Coffee shops and bars have customers streaming in and out of them each morning as the Italians get their daily dose¨Cand this habit is just as much about the social setting as it is about the coffee.

While the morning is all about coffee, pre-lunch or dinner, it¡¯s all about the local snacks. Most often, Italian city centres and squares are jam packed with locals who come out with their kids to enjoy this pre-dinner treat, and children are encouraged to enjoy snacks available. This is a brilliant way to get kids to try new tastes without the pressures of meal times. It¡¯s important to note that ¡°kids¡¯ menus¡± do not exist in Italian restaurants¡ªchildren are treated like adults and are offered plates from the main menu ¡ª in smaller amounts, if they¡¯re young.

Post-lunch, most cities can seem quite deserted. But by 4 p.m. onwards, the crowds start to re-emerge. One by one, families spill out and the streets liven up. Everyone begins their afternoon stroll, enjoying the afternoon snacks, like ice-cream, which turns over a huge trade in Italy.

1.What will parents do at meal times in Italy?

A. Let children have their meals separately.

B. Offer children plates from kids¡¯ menu.

C. Order some food for children but in small amounts.

D. Encourage children to eat with them.

2.What won¡¯t children develop if they experience food like an Italian?

A. Cooking ways.B. Sense of taste.

C. Social skills.D. Interacting manners.

3.What do we know about the pre-dinner treat in Italy?

A. It is most often about coffee.

B. It can get children to experience new foods with ease.

C. It is unavailable in city centres and squares.

D. It can reduce the pressure of meal times.

4.What is the author¡¯s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To introduce different Italian local foods.

B. To stress the importance of food for Italians.

C. To show Italians¡¯ children education.

D. To advertise Italian food trends.

Two years ago I fell off the steps of a bus while climbing down and twisted my ankle. What followed was the usual way that is common in the US. A few hours later I was treated and discharged. What was uncommon was that I received extra care while going to ER(emergency room) and while I was in the hospital.

People were kind to me, men and women alike. They wheeled me into a private room instead of making me wait in the crowded waiting room. Someone came and asked me if the temperature is OK. When I said I was cold, he brought me a blanket and some magazines, in case I got bored. The nurses stopped by, making pleasant chats with me. People always came to ask me if I was in too much pain and if I needed anything¡­

There were other people who were brought in while I was waiting. Patients groaning in pain were given the care they needed and then ignored. My injury was not the priority, so while I was not pushed to the front of the line, my several hours¡¯ stay in the hospital was made as pleasant as possible. Why would people do that? They gave others care, while I got kindness.

Like any other good looking, healthy, independent person, man or woman, it looks as if the world is nicer to rich people, and the world is nicer to attractive people. I¡¯m not in the dating world. It¡¯s not about free drinks and gifts. It¡¯s about people being nice.

I¡¯m grateful for any positive behavior because I know this is temporary. Eventually I will join the groups of the elderly, the weak and the seemingly unattractive. One thing I refuse to do is to make excuses for being attractive. I know it¡¯s temporary. I know it¡¯s the luck of the draw and I know that I¡¯m just one of the many. Does it matter to my husband, my mother and my kids what I look like? No. And I wouldn¡¯t have it any other way.

1. What caused the author into deep thought?

A. She was given less care in the hospital.

B. Patients were only given physical care in the hospital.

C. She didn¡¯t get treatment immediately in the hospital.

D. Other patients in the hospital didn¡¯t get the same kindness as her.

2.What can we know about the author?

A. She is an attractive lady.

B. She shows great pity to old patients.

C. She doesn¡¯t like free drinks or gifts.

D. She was treated unequally in the hospital.

3.Which of the following does the author agree with?

A. The hospital should treat attractive patients in preference to others.

B. The positive behavior that being attractive brings can last long.

C. Old patients should get much more care from the hospital.

D. Being attractive means nothing to the people truly important to you.
