When Marco Polo travelled to Hangzhou, China 700 hundred years ago, never had he thought he'd be creating a job of social media ambassador in the 21st century in China.
On May 20, one lucky foreigner would be selected to become the modern-day Marco Polo, getting a free 15-day trip to the scenic city of Hangzhou in China, and rewarded $55,000 in the next year for working part-time to promote the city to the global audience. Five finalists from Australia, Romania, U.S., Switzerland and France were in the final race. They came from a pool of 700 applicants from around the world, carefully selected by the Hangzhou Tourism Commission on their familiarity with China, social media presence and adventurous spirit.
Located about 100 miles southwest to Shanghai, Hangzhou is home to 844 million population and among China’s richest cities as measures by per-capita GDP. Traditionally, Hangzhou is known for its charming West Lake, a UNESCO world heritage site with traditional Chinese stories and tales, and the Grand Canal, which travels from Hangzhou to Beijing and was a key route of transportation in ancient China. The city’s mild climate and charming environment drew 97 million tourists last year, contributing to 6.5% of the city’s GDP.
The lucky winner would start an all-expense-paid trip to Hangzhou, which, in addition to visits to tourist sites and tastings of delicious food, also would include a four-day ride along the Grand Canal and three evenings spent at a local resident’s home.
“It is in fact a part-time job. How you work that out efficiently is your problem,” Liam Bates, perhaps the strongest competitor because of his fluent Chinese, said. “We will see how hard it is to meet these numbers.”
1.The purpose of Hangzhou choosing a social media ambassador is to ______.
A. keep Marco Polo in people’s memories
B. attract more foreign tourists to China
C. encourage more foreigners to speak Chinese
D. explore a new route of transportation
2.From paragraph 3, we know that ______.
A. Hangzhou is 100 miles northwest to Shanghai
B. 8.8 million visitors came to Hangzhou in 2015
C. tourism plays an important in the GDP of Hangzhou
D. the Grand Canal travels from Hangzhou to Shanghai
3.Liam Bates was most likely to get the job mainly due to his ______.
A. travel experienceB. fluent Chinese
C. adventurous spiritD. excellent videos
4.Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A. Hangzhou rewards international visitors to China
B. Liam Bates creates a dream job of social media ambassador
C. Dream job in China—$55,000 to the contemporary Marco Polo
D. Hangzhou, a famous city for West Lake and the Great Canal

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money. 1. So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
1. The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). 2. When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex (复杂的) ways of using money.
2. Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 3. If you must say NO to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy cars for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
3. 4.
Begin at the grocery store(杂货店). Pick out two similar brands（商标） of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 5. If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to buy another one with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for buying others.
A. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
B. The value of money
C. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest
D. Permit the child to choose between them
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you
F. Tell your child why he can or can’t have certain things
G. Wise decisions

Why do many people take vacations frequently? We need to take time out from work to relax, and just be ourselves. 1. We should all be allowed to leave our jobs behind us—at least for a few weeks each year—and just have fun. This might be something as simple as reading a good book in front of a warm fireplace through to traveling to the most interesting places on our planet. Whatever we fancy doing is worth taking time out for.
As we know, workplace stress is on the rise. 2. These include disease, depression and even death. We all seem to be running from one place to the next, never finding out where we want to go in the first place. I intend to break that trend in the coming days. 3. I will sleep late, write, watch movies, drink the occasional glass of wine, and eat to my heart's content, ignoring calorie counting. My plan is to just enjoy the fleeting(飞逝的) moments of being alive. 4. Spend your next vacation the way you want; Do what will restore your mental health. You're very valuable to the people who are close to you, and to those who depend on it. Like it or not, we are all interdependent（互相依存的）in this great life of ours. There's no doubt that you are valuable. Just remember that the next time you look at a mirror and take a deep breath. Remind yourself that there will never be anyone like you ever on this earth again. 5. 1you have to do is just ask yourself what you want to do.
A. Draw up a detailed plan so that you can see more.
B. With it come many health problems.
C. When you finally get home you'll be greatly refreshed.
D. Life is not all about work, or at least it shouldn't be.
E. And only you know how to take a vacation in your way.
F. I challenge each one of you to do the same.
G. For my next holiday, I will do all the things that I love doing.
