Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now. As long as I can remember, she didnt even drink India tea.I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illness.At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country.How things change! And how soon!Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.But its a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the India IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both government.No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.But what is still wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.31.Why did the mother ask for Chinese tea?AShe was tired of Indian tea.B. She had a son working in China.CShe believed it had a curing effect.DShe was fond of Chinese products.32.What does the author mean by “its a two-way street” in Paragraph 10?AChina and India have different traffic rules.BTea trade works wonders in both India and China.

In the text the author expresses _.Ahis concern for his mothers healthBhis support for drinking Chinese green teaChis surprise at Chinas recent developmentDhis wonder at the growth of Indias IT industryB Taking an exam has an evil twin called “cheating”. And some Chinese and South Korean high school students have recently had a real taste of its bitterness（痛苦）. They took the SAT, the US version of the college entrance exam, on Oct. 11, expecting to get their results on Oct. 30. However, what they found in their mailbox was an email saying that their test scores would be reviewed and delayed for up to a month because of accusation（指控） of cheating. An international official said that some students at the test centers in Asian countries had been caught checking their smart phones to get answers to SAT question while taking the exam. The incident has gotten worldwide attention as China and South Korean are the top two supplies of foreign university students in the US. If the cheating is confirmed, those students scores could be cancelled, which worried many students, as Oct. 11s test was the last SAT test this year and early applicants to US universities were due on Nov. 1. However, the College Board, which developed the SAT, said that the review was to make sure that test-takers received valid（真实的） scores. Meanwhile, universities such as George Washington University have said that a delay in score reporting would not disadvantage applicants from those countries. Although there are more than 1,000 testing centers outside the US in more than 175 countries, the only testing allowed in China is at international schools, which means most Chinese students have to go to Hong Kong or another country to take the SAT. The problem of cheating in exams isnt unique to China. Last May, the College Board canceled an SAT testing date in South Korean after tutoring （辅导）companies were suspected to have illegally gotten SAT testing materials before the test. In 2011, twenty US students were arrested in Long Island, New York for hiring other students to take the SAT for them.35. Why didnt the students get their test results on Oct. 30?A.

They will be arrested by the US police.37. If the scores prove valid, their admissions will be according to the George Washington University. A. canceled B. delayed C. advanced D. unaffected38.

My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but in vain. It was only when I turned to meditation（沉思） for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, “Im singing in the rain”, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain（限制） our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.43. The author felt depressed because she_ .A. couldnt consume her waking hourB. had not seen a film for a long timeC. had worked on a hard job for too longD. had not finished her work on time44.

In the authors opinion, _.A. adults should express their inner feeling freely B. depression is usually caused by hard workC. walking in a busy city centre Harms peoples health D. a bath can make people relaxed 47. The last paragraph mainly serve as a(an) _.A. explanationB. suggestionC. introductionD. reminderETalk to yourself.It may be obvious, but the best way to get better at a language is to speak it. Even if there is no one around to speak to, talk to yourself. Name things as you pass themchair, television, cat, tree, school. Learn basic phrases like“it is cold today” or “it is sunny today” and use whichever is appropriate when you first look out of the window. This simple language learning tip will help this everyday vocabulary sink in and become second nature.Talk to friends.Even if they dont speak the language, talk to the people you know in your new language. Warm them in advance that you are practicing your new knowledge and they will know whats coming. Even a simple “good morning” or “see you later” in your new language will make those phrases more natural to you. Your friends may even start to pick up a few phrases as well.Listen to music.Listen to music in your new language. Youll hear the language used in a real context and this will help you pick out the rhythm and the p
