It’s a Saturday morning in a large courtyard. Young designers sell their creations, from fine tea sets to hand-painted 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, 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 name. Mixed by foreign tongues, Changnan transformed into China.
Two million years after porcelain’s invention, the town, now called Jingdezhen, is still one of the world’s most important centers 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 Jingdezhen 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 added.
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.
Paul told me that when he first visited Jingdezhen there were no street lamps and only dirty pavements. There were workshops but their goods were bought by traders and sold on elsewhere. These days, stylish cafes and bars pop up next to concept stores. At one such shop, I admired some tiny teacups like birds.
With the popularity of the ottery Workshop, many of the designers are using Jingdezhen’s master craftsmen 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. HandPDF-paintedearrings
C. Standard Chinese D. Fine Chinese porcelain
2.Why did early Europeans call Chinese porcelain “white gold”?
A. Because it was made in China.
B. Because they thought it was made with magic.
C. Because they knew it came from Changnan.
D. Because they liked it so much and it was in demand.
3.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 his foreign friends
4.From what Paul said we can learn______.
A. many foreign visitors came to Jingdezhen to study porcelain
B. China’s young people are more interested in unique products
C. their goods were not popular in western countries
D. in the past Jingdezhen was a poor and dirty town

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) is one of the most original and influential figures in the history of photography. His photographs helped establish photojournalism as an art form.
Henri's family was wealthy—his father made a fortune as a textile manufacturer—but Henri later joked that due to his parents' economical ways, it often seemed as though his family was poor.
Educated in Paris, Henri developed an early love for literature and arts. As a teenager, Henri was against his parents' formal ways of education. In his early adulthood, he fell in love with several appetites, but it was art that remained at the center of his life.
Henri traveled to Africa in 1931 to hunt antelope and boar. And Africa fueled another interest in him: photography. He then wandered around the world with his camera, using a handheld camera to catch images from fleeting moments of everyday life.
Not long after World War Ⅱ, Henri traveled east, spending considerable time in India, where he met and photographed Gandhi shortly before he was killed in 1948. Henri's work to document Gandhi's death and its immediate effect on the country became one of Life Magazine's most prized photo essays.
Henri's approach to photography remained much the same throughout his life. He made clear his dislike of images that had been improved by artificial light, darkroom effects, and even cutting. The naturalist in Henri believed that all editing should be done when the photo is taken. In 1952, his first book, The Decisive Moment, a rich collection of his work spanning two decades, was published. "There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment," he said.
In 1968, he began to turn away from photography and returned to his passion for drawing and painting.
1.Which of the following is true about Henri's photography career?
A. He developed a passion for photography when traveling to Africa.
B. He quit photography on publishing The Decisive Moment.
C. He documented Gandhi's everyday life.
D. He devoted all his life to photography.
2.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 2?
A. Costly. B. Generous.
C. Financial. D. Saving.
3.What is special about Henri's approach to photography?
A. He only shot photos at decisive moments.
B. He preferred to edit his images in his darkroom.
C. His most photos described things in their natural ways.
D. He tried different ways and settled on being a naturalist.

Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.
To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).
Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, cul8er — see you later, gr8 — great, Idk — I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit — keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud, xlnt — excellent!
1.The passage is meant for ______.
A. children B. parents
C. teachers D. net bar owners
2.Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A. The Internet is no good for children.
B. The chat language is strange to adults.
C. Children shouldn’t chat so much online.
D. The Internet is a good place for children.
3.In order to keep children safe online, you’d better ______.
A. choose suitable websites and chat rooms for them
B. teach them to use correct net words
C. surf the Internet together with them

One October morning, I got off the all-night train in Mandalay, a city in Myanmar. A rough man came up and offered to show me around. The price he asked was less than I would pay for a bar of chocolate at home. So I climbed into his trishaw(三轮车).
As he was showing me around, he told me how he had come to the city from his village. He’d earned a degree in mathematics. His dream was to be a teacher. But of course, life is hard here, and so for now, this was the only way he could make a living. Many nights, he told me, he actually slept in his trishaw so he could catch the first visitors off the all-night train.
And very soon, we found that in certain ways, we had so much in common---we were both in our 20s, we were both fascinated by foreign cultures----that he invited me home.
So we turned off the wide, crowded streets, and came to rough, wild alleyways(小巷). I really lost my sense of where I was, and realized that I could easily get cheated or something even worse.
Finally, he stopped and led me into a hut. And then he reached under his bed. Something in me froze. I waited to see what he would pull out. And finally he took out a box. Inside it was every single letter he had ever received from visitors from abroad.
So when we said goodbye that night, I realized he had also shown me the secret point of travel, which is to go inwardly(向内心)as well as outwardly to places you would never go otherwise, to go into uncertainty, even fear.
At home, its dangerously easy to think we’re on top of things. Out in the world, you are reminded every moment that you’re not, and you can’t get to the bottom of things, either.
1.What do we know about the trishaw puller?
A. He used to be a teacher B. He works very hard
C. He is a foreigner in Myanmar D. He received little education
2.Why did the author freeze in front of the bed?
A. He was feeling very cold
B. He didn’t expect to see the letters
C. He was shocked by the room’s bad condition
D. He thought the young man was going to hurt him
3.What is the author’s opinion on travel?
A. Fear nothing
B. Follow your heart
C. Enjoy the beauty of life
D. Be prepared for the unexpected
4.What does the phrase “get to the bottom of things” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Solve the problems
B. Find out the truth
C. Get to know the place really
D. Learn about the bottom of society
