    The fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan was the subject of popular books and movies for many decades. In recent years, however, the character has been criticized as an ill image of Asian-Americans.
    Yunte Huang, an English professor at the University of California, says that’s not the case. He has been exploring the character and real-life policeman who inspired him.
    Charlie Chan has been a familiar character to readers and film-goers, beginning in the 1920s. The detective solved crimes around the world in more than 40 films through the 1940s, and with the invention of television, found a new audience in the 1950s and 1960s.
    Huang discovered Charlie Chan through books by American author Earl Derr Biggers, who created the character.
    “One day, I happened to find two Charlie Chan novels. At that point I thought I knew that he was a negative character against Asians, but when I read the book,” he says, “I was immediately attracted. Ever since then, I’ve been a fan of Charlie Chan.”
    As a fan of the books and films, Huang was surprised to learn that Charlie Chan was based on a real detective named Chang Apana, who was born to Chinese parents in Hawaii around 1871. Apana worked as a cowboy, and joined the Honolulu police force in 1898.
    “He almost immediately became a local legend because as a former cowboy,” says Huang, “he would walk the most dangerous areas in Chinatown carrying a bullwhip（皮鞭）instead of a gun. He didn’t need that.”
    Although some say the image of Charlie Chan, with his broken English, is embarrassing for Asian-Americans, Huang believes Chan’s broken English and unusual ancient sayings were part of his charm（魅力）.
    “Let me just quote（引用）a few – ‘Actions speak louder than French,’ or ‘Mind like parachute (降落伞). Only function when open.’ Charlie Chan always owes these instructive sayings to Confucius’ eastern wisdom.
    For Huang, the fictional Charlie Chan is highly entertaining, while the real-life policeman, Chang Apana, is a Chinese-American success, whose story is worth telling.

    A．how Yunte Huang discovered Charlie Chan
    B．how Charlie Chan became famous in the US
    C．what Yunte Huang thought of Charlie Chan

    B．he liked being a cowboy
    C．he was not a true policeman

    A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

    “You are employed,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start. ”

    The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an email.”

    “I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an email, that means you do not exist.And who doesn’t exist cannot have the job.”

    The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10Kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he managed to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60.

    The man realized that he could survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.

    He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.  

    When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his e-mail. The man replied, “I don’t have an email.”

    The broker answered curiously, “You don’t have an email, and yet have managed to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”

    1.Why can’t the man have the job at Microsoft?

    A．Because he was lazy.                     B．Because he didn't pass the test.

    C．Because he didn’t have an e-mail.          D．Because he didn’t have the application.

    2.The underlined word “tripled” can be replaced by “_________”.

    A．became 3 times                        B．became large

    C．increased quickly                       D．decreased quickly

    3.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

    A．The man is one of the biggest food retailers in the world.

    B．Those who have e-mails can work at Microsoft.

    C．He started his career by selling tomatoes in the supermarket.

    D．The man didn’t give up though he failed the interview.
