SPRING is coming, together with butterflies(蝴蝶)! On March 31,the Natural History Museum in London, UK, had a butterfly show. Children came over and played with these beautiful creatures. They also got to know how butterflies grow up. Colorful butterflies flew freely at the show. They sometimes landed on visitors. Look! A large blue butterfly sits on the nose of the girl.Earlier in April 2014, Sanlian Taofen Bookstore became the first 24-hour bookstore in Beijing. It hopes to encourage more people to read books.“We welcome everyone who loves to read books at any time.” The general manager of the store told China Youth Daily.Although many people can now buy books online, many readers still like the feeling in bookstores. They can touch the books and smell the print. This year, many children in the UK will have a new language to study: Chinese.Starting in 2014, students aged 7-11 in the UK need to study one of seven foreign languages. They can choose from French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek(希腊语) and Chinese.The British government is offering to train a group of Chinese-language teachers. They will teach Chinese to more than 3,000 primary school students.China and the UK work together in many fields.

The academic performance of the Chinese boy was poorhe had got grades C and D (A is the best) for most courses.Shang is not alone. In the first half of 2014, the number of Chinese students studying in the US has increased to 275,000. But according to China Youth Daily, about 5 percent of Chinese students in US colleges are unable to graduate.They are being sent back home because their grades are not good enough (62.1%), they cheat, such as copying other students work (21.4%), and they have poor class attendance (10.9%).These appear to be not from a lack of intelligence , but a lack of discipline , said the report. The situation has been getting worse since more Chinese students are studying in foreign countries at younger ages. According to the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the number of Chinese students studying in US private high schools has increased from 65 in 2005 to 23,795 in 2013.Far away from their parents, some students are said to spend a lot of time chatting with friends, going to parties, and playing online games.There are also great language problems. Although they have to pass language tests to study abroad, daily communication is still hard for many Chinese overseas students, according to research at Indiana University in 2013.Because of this, many of them just stick with other Chinese students. They dont often take part in sporting events or study groups. And some could only catch bits of information during classes, said the research.（1）Some Chinese overseas students spend lots of time _. A . playing online gamesB . doing sportsC . chatting with parentsD . visiting American friends（2）Many Chinese overseas students stick with Chinese students because _.

We use the word “heritage” in many different ways. People talk about their family heritage, city heritage and national heritage.Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries, and we can show our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike(相似的).In most countries around the world, you can find KFC. Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee. American movies and so on. Some people think this is a good change, and others dont like it. You can decide whether or not its a good thing.However, everyone wants to protect traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard. For example, when a new KFC opens in your city, a traditional restaurant might have to close.That is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple thought. It means keeping your countrys or your citys heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving (保护)old buildings. Some suggestions of heritage protection are making sure your kids speak your traditional language, and teaching knowledge about heritage to them.The world is changing. No matter how it changes, never forget the heritage of our parents and grandparents. 请根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。（1）Is the heritage nowadays the same as it used to be? A . No. Its being changed by the InternetB .

Theres no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe（贿赂） him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we dont see the need for presents.Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didnt. I dont often remember a friends birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, Id get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner-that kind from his or her homeland-wont go wrong, except to government employees（政府职员） who cant be given presents.You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say, Its so nice. Thanks when you get Christmas or birthday presents.You may want to bring a bottle of wine（葡萄酒） or flowers to a dinner party, but youre never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the yeardoormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper sendersanyone who has often helped us.（1）What kind of presents dont Americans usually open in front of the givers?
