It’s Saturday morning in a large courtyard. Young designers sell their creations, from fine tea sets to hand-pained ceramic(瓷质的) earrings. I could be in east London, that is, until standard Chinese tones remind me I’m in Jingdezhen, a small Chinese city.
Centuries ago, when Europeans first saw Chinese porcelain, for example, it seemed so fine that they concluded it must have been made with magic and called it “white gold”.
They couldn’t find out how it was made, but they knew where it came from: the town of Changnan. Changnan porcelain was so in demand that early traders began calling the whole country by this town’s name, mixed by foreign tongues, Changnan transformed into China.
Two million years after porcelain’s invention, the town, now called Jingezhen, is still one of the world’s most important centres for porcelain production.
“The people are the most important treasure here, their roots are deep in history,” says Zhang Jia. She’s part of a new wave of designers who have come to Jingezhen to learn techniques handed down and refined(使精美) over a hundred generations. “This is the best place to study porcelain in China, perhaps in the entire world.” She adds.
Chinese artists aren’t the only ones drawn here. Founded in 2005 by Caroline Cheng, the Pottery Workshop runs classes for visitors from around the world.
In the Pottery Workshop’s second floor studio, I meet Trudy Golley and Paul Leather, a husband-wife duo from Canada. Paul tells me that when he first visited Jingdezhen there were no street lamps and only dirt pavements. There were workshops but their goods were bought by traders and sold on elsewhere. These days, stylish cafés and bars pop up next to concept stores. At one such shop, I admire some tiny teacups settling on a thick wooden branch like birds.
With the popularity of the Pottery Workshops, China’s young people are more interested in unique, individually-made products. Many of the designers are using Jingdezhen’s master craftsmen(工匠) to make them because they know they offer quality, attention to detail.
1.What made the writer realize that he was in China?
A. Fine tea sets. B. Hand-painted ceramic earrings.
C. Standard Chinese. D. Fine Chinese porcelain.
2.Zhang Jia came to Jingdezhen in order to _________.
A. know something about Jingdezhen’s history
B. enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jingdezhen
C. study techniques of making porcelain
D. pay a visit to some of her foreign friends
3.From what Paul said we can learn ____________.
A. many foreign visitors came to Jingdezhen to study porcelain
B. in the past Jingdezhen was a poor and dirty town
C. their goods were not popular in western countries
D. China’s young people are more interested in unique products
4.What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To appeal to people to buy Chinese porcelain.
B. To tell people traditional Chinese porcelain earns great reputation in Jingdezhen.
C. To advertise porcelain products in Jingdezhen.
D. To introduce some information about one traditional Chinese art in Jingdezhen.

Do you believe that things are connected for no scientific reason at all? For example, do you avoid saying the word “four” to avoid bad luck? If so, you have a superstition (迷信). And you’re not alone — all kinds of people have them.
For example, Portugal’s soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo always steps onto the pitch (球场) with his right foot first, according to The Telegraph. And sports players are not alone in having superstitions. A visitor once asked the Nobel Prize winning scientist Niels Bohr whether he really believed that the horseshoe he’d hung at his country home was lucky. “Of course not,” the Danish physicist said. “But I understand it’s lucky whether you believe in it or not.”
One recent study found that even scientists at MIT and other top US schools tended to look for a meaning in natural events, similar to the connection between stepping on the pitch and playing soccer well, according to The Atlantic. When the researchers gave the scientists little time to answer questions, they were twice as likely to agree with statements such as “Trees produce oxygen so that animals can breathe” as they were when they had more time to think about their reply.
It seems that fear can make people think differently in this way, too. In a British study, students imagined meeting a “witch” who said she would cast (施魔法) an evil spell(符咒) on them. About half said a scientist should not be worried about the spell. Yet each of them said that, personally, they wouldn’t let the witch do it to them.
So why are so many of us superstitious? Well, it seems to be our way of dealing with the unknown. “Many people quite simply just want to believe,” Brian Cronk, a professor of psychology at Missouri Western State University, said in a 2008 interview. “The human brain is always trying to work out why things happen, and when the reason is not clear, we tend to make up some pretty bizarre (古怪的) explanations.”
And these explanations aren’t completely unhelpful. In fact, superstitions can sometimes work and bring real luck, according to psychologists at the University of Cologne in Germany in the May 2010 issue of the journal Psychological Science. They found that believing in something can improve performance on a task like an exam.
So, what about you? What superstitions do you follow to keep you safe and successful?
1.The author mentions avoiding saying the word "four" in the opening paragraph to ________.
A. show how foolish it is to believe in superstitions
B. introduce the readers to the topic of superstitions
C. discuss the scientific reasons behind superstitions
D. prove that it is reasonable to be superstitious
2.How many superstitious practices are mentioned in the passage?
A. 3 B. 2 C. 4 D. 5
3.What’s the author’s attitude to superstitions?
A. Unknown. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Neutral.
4.What is the best title of the article?
A. Why superstitions are common
B. How superstitions affect our daily lives
C. How some common superstitions came into being
D. How to get rid of superstitions

Kindergarten—which means “garden for children” in German—is not kindergarten any more. It’s yesterday’s first grade, or even second.
A 2014 study compared kindergarten teachers’ expectations for their students in 1998 to today. The differences were striking. In 1998, 31 percent of teachers thought that kindergarten students should be able to read by the end of the year. By 2014, that figure is now about 80 percent. More than a third kindergarten teachers now think that kids should enter school already knowing the alphabet and how to hold a pencil.
Besides, the researchers found huge decreases in the amount of self-directed, creative play time—dress up, art, sand and water play—and increases in the amount of time students were involved in teacher-directed, whole-class instruction.
Unfortunately, kindergarten today ignores a basic fact of young children’s development that is well-known by early childhood educators: normal development in young children occurs at very different rates and in very different ways. For example, the average age that a baby starts to walk is 12 months, but some kids start walking at eight or nine months and others at 15, or even 16, months.
Similarly, the average age that a child learns to be an independent reader is about six and a half. Some learn to read at four, and others at seven, and both extremes are developmentally normal. In the fourth grade, kids who learned to read at four are typically not any better at reading than those who started at seven. Countries like Finland and Sweden do not even start formal academic schooling until age seven.
We need to respect children’s personal developmental timelines. The idea that “earlier is better” for reading instruction is simply not supported by research evidence. Children’s long-term achievement and self-identities as readers and students can be damaged when they are introduced to reading too early.
1.What can we infer from the text?
A. Kindergarten has been replaced by first or even second grade.
B. Kindergarten teachers have higher expectations for students now.
C. Kindergarten students’ intelligence has been largely improved.
D. Children should know the alphabet before entering kindergarten.
2.What will probably happen to children who learn to read at 7?
A. They will perform best among their classmates.
B. They will have difficulty becoming an independent reader.
C. They will catch up with those who learn to read earlier.
D. They will fall behind those who learn to read earlier forever.
3.What should kindergarten teachers do according to the text?
A. Increase the time in whole-class instruction.
B. Pay more attention to children’s academic level.
C. Encourage children to learn at their own pace.
D. Raise children’s competitive spirit at an early age.
4.How does the author feel about the present education in kindergarten?
A. Ashamed. B. Cautious. C. Satisfied. D. Concerned.
