Marco Polo was a Venetian traveller, whose accounts of his journey across the world from Venice to China and back, make one of the greatest books of all his time.
Marco Polo was born either at Venice, or perhaps at Korcula, a place on an island off Dalmatian coast in 1254. His father, Niccolo Polo, and his father's brother, Matteo set out in 1261, on a long trading journey which led them to the court of Kublai, the Great Khan, who ruled over China. After seven years they returned to Italy.
Two years passed before the brothers decided to start again on their travels, and this time, they took with them Niccolo'c son Marco, then 17 years old. They trvelled to Acre and from there rode overland to Hormuz on the Persian Gulf. From there they turned northward and made their way through Persia to Balkh, and Khotan. From there they passed near Lop Nor, crossed the Gobi Desert and entered China by way of Su—chou. At length, in 1275, after a journey lasting three years, they introduced themselves to Kublai Khan at his summer palace at Shangtu.
Marco records that he made rapid progress in the Great Khan's favour. He studied the Mongol language and the emperor asked him to look after the travelling groups made up of foreign visitors from different parts of the world and show them around his kingdom. He became skilful(娴熟)and clever at business. Marco made careful notes of his journey, the state of the cities, the customs (风俗)of the people, and the kinds of crops and other products. After 17 years travelling in the service of the Khan, Marco, together with his father and uncle, returned to Venice. The journey took them 3 years and they arrived in 1295.

In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.C., the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.
At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said: "Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away."
He added,“Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isn't it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?”
Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes (堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.

Hot words on the Internet don’t stay hot for long. “Geili” and “fuyun”, last year’s biggest linguistic innovations, are practically prehistoric in Internet terms. What’s buzzing now is “hold steady”
The term comes from a segment (片段) on the Taiwanese TV show University which features Miss Lin(Xie Yilin) giving a lecture on how to behave like a fashion queen at parties or on the bus. The extremely funny lecture is mainly an over-the-top mockery(嘲笑) of the fashion world, but Miss Lin makes a point: We need to hold steady in pressure-filled or embarrassing situations.
Holding steady, Internet slang for “staying poised”, is one of the qualities the public has been looking for lately as pressures on marriage, work and money can easily drive people crazy. The quality was demonstrated by a girl named Su Miaoling this year. The contestant in the TV singing competition Super Girl carried herself with an air of confidence on stage and kept her cool when others got anxious. “I like your poise(淡定). Very few contestants on this stage can keep calm like you do,” said one of the show’s judges, Hu Haiquan, to Su. Internet users dubbed Su “Sister Poise”.
Poise is also appreciated in Western culture as an essential quality of a well-mannered person. Each year, the National League of Junior Cotillions of the US releases a list of the Ten Best Mannered People. Kate Middleton made it onto the list in 2011 “for the poise and dignity with which she conducts herself in the public spotlight”. The Duchess of Cambridge was also acclaimed earlier this year for her remarkable poise at the royal wedding.
Good news for many, poise is not genetic----it can be acquired with a bit of effort. A personal growth guidance gives tips on how to stay poised. “Take a few deep breaths when you are facing a situation that tests your patience; practice yoga regularly to calm your nerves; use self-affirmation by saying ‘I choose to be calm in any situation’; write down your affirmation daily to imprint the goal,” reads the site.
1.According to the passage, what does “hold steady” mean?
A.well balanced |
B.hold still |
C.remain stable |
D.keep calm |
2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Poise isn’t born with people, so it can be acquired. |
B.Under different pressures, people hope to keep calm. |
C.“Hold steady” comes from a lecture given by a fashion queen. |
D.In western culture, holding steady is a quality of well-mannered people. |
3.Which of the following is NOT the way to hold steady?
A.learn to use self-encouragement. |
B.Write the goals to be achieved |
C.Practice yoga regularly to calm your nerves. |
D.Take deep breaths when facing difficult situations. |
4.The purpose of this passage is to_______.
A.introduce the Internet hot term “hold steady” |
B.tell funny stories about how to hold steady |
C.demonstrate how to keep calm under pressure |
D.give advice on how to keep cool in daily life |
