Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces have suffered the most because of little rain.35 million people have been affected by the big thirst, according to China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs.4 million of them cannot get safe drinking water.
Dongting Lake in Hunan has now become smaller by two thirds. Gao Yibing, fisherman, said, “No eggs were produced, so there’s no young fish. We would not be able to fish anything in autumn and winter.”

Medecims Sans Frontieres, or Doctors Without Borders, is a group that helps people in need. In 1971,some French doctors and journalists formed MSF. In 1999,MSF won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Doctors of MSF go to different countries to help poor people for free. These people are sick and hurt. They do not have enough money, food or water. MSF work in more than 70 countries including Iraq and Sudan. There are wars, disasters or diseases in these countries.
MSF doctors treat these sick people and speak out for them. They try to tell the world about what they see in the poor countries. This makes the world pay more attention to these places.

Lots of people in the world like listening to folk songs. A folk song is a song that is “from the p  1.  ”. Every c  2.   has folk songs. Usually, they are quiet, simple songs. People often sing them with just a g  3.   of a few other instruments. Some folk songs are so o  4.   that no one knows who wrote them or when they were written. Other folk songs are by songwriters who are interested in people’s l  5.   and experiences. Woody Guthrie was one of those songwriters.

Woody Guthrie was born in a very small town in Oklahoma in 1912. Guthrie first learned to play the guitar from his grandfather in 1917. He soon began to p  6.   with other people in the area. Step by step, people liked his music.

In 1929, the economy was bad. Many people were not working, and there were many poor people. Guthrie began to travel around the country looking for work. Guthrie became interested in singing about people and their p  7.   during this period.

In the winter of 1940, Guthrie decided to go to New York. On his way, he created “This Land is Your Land.” The song talks about places and things people love. The last line of the song says, “This land was made for you and me.” These words tell people that e  8.   is equal.

Woody Guthrie died in 1967, but his music l  9.   on. His music is an important part of American h  10.  and culture. And to this day, people love to sing the folk songs written by him.

 

At present, more and more people are crazy about travelling. Why do people travel?  “To see more of the world,” many people would say. But travelling abroad now means much more than that for the growing number of Chinese tourists. Of course it offers us good opportunities to meet people from other countries, learn about their culture and customs.

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 1 billion people travelled to another country in 2012. In 2012, Chinese people travelled abroad 30 percent more than in 2011. The prosperity (繁荣) of the tourism industry can also bring both our country and foreign countries great economic benefits (经济利益). Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip.

Chinese people don’t just travel for sightseeing. The China International Travel Service Company said that all their tour trips sold out a month before Christmas Day. Stores offered discounts (打折) during that time, so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travellers.

In December, China is going through a very cold winter. So many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.

The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can travel abroad. But many of them don’t have a sense of public manners. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the world’s second worst tourists.

If you want to change that bad name, remember to avoid the following: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas. Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.

1.Chinese people travel abroad not to _________.

A. go shopping                                            B. see more of the world

C. go sightseeing                                         D. make money

2.According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, ________.

A. 30% of the people who travelled abroad are Chinese

B. the number of people who travelled abroad rose by 30%

C. more than 1 billion people travelled abroad in 2012

D. more than 1 billion Chinese people travelled abroad in 2012

3.Which of the following is NOT true about Chinese people? _________

A. Chinese people like joining large tourist groups.

B. Many Chinese like to go to Southeast Asia in winter for sightseeing.

C. More and more Chinese people can travel abroad now.

D. Chinese are the second worst tourists in the world.

4.As a good tourist, you should ________.

A. litter and spit here and there

B. jump the line and take off the shoes in public

C. have a sense of public manners

D. speak loudly and smoke as you like

5.What’s the best title of the passage? __________
