Asia has long tradition of tea-drinking. And China is no exception.

However, lately more and more Chinese people are turning to a different . Coffee has become a/an popular choice of Chinese people living abroad and in the country's cities. In big cities such as Beijing, coffee shops seem to be on nearly every major street corner. These are not just selling drinks from Starbucks, the world-famous coffee company. Coffee businesses from South Korea and Britain are also in China.

Many young Chinese people drink coffee -- when meeting with friends. Yang Lin lives in the U.S. but comes from an area in China for growing tea. She used to drink tea while in China. But now, she says, she drinks both and for different reasons.

Yang Lin says she was a tea drinker when she was back in China. But she likes coffee and tea now. Drinking coffee for her is a social event. She and her co-workers like to sit in a café and talk over a cup of coffee. Tea, she says, is more about family . She grew up in Fujian province -- an area known for its tea. Ms. Yang says that as a child, her family would together in the evening and talk about the day's events over a steaming pot of tea. So now, the smell of Fujian tea brings back these family memories.

On average a person in China drinks about five cups of coffee a year. This information comes from the China Coffee Association Beijing. That is far below the world average of 240 cups a year. But the association says the amount of coffee that Chinese drink is by about 15 percent every year.

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

When people think of Hollywood, they think of the city where dreams come true.This did not apply to F.Scott Fitzgerald, a screenwriter who had his share of ups and downs in this land.Fitzgerald was not a successful Hollywood writer because he was not good at the career path he chose.He was an amazing novelist, but his efforts of turning them into screenplays ended in disappointment and confusion.It was because of a lack of potential for screenwriting as well as his addiction and desire to be famous.

Growing up as a boy, Fitzgerald went to movies a lot.He wanted to write stories that would eventually turn into movies.The problem was: just because Fitzgerald wanted to do something didn’t necessarily mean that he was good at it.He made his attempts, but most of these efforts ended in disappointment because he thought about the change from script(劇本)to screen too much.His plot was too detailed and complicated; his tone was too serious or his dialogue too sentimental(感傷的).

Fitzgerald’s quick rise to fame also led to his fall.In life, things are not meant to happen all at once, all that the same time but it did for Fitzgerald.At his best time, three of his early stories were made into short films, including The Great Gatsby and Babylon Revisited.As the twenties approached, he was gradually forgotten by the reading public.He became drunk and constantly took pills both to sleep and wake up.His marriage was destroyed and his wife broke down mentally.He seemed unsure about his life.

Fitzgerald had another chance at success when many opportunities came his way, including revisions of Emlyn William’s play The Light of Heart and production of one of his own scripts, Cosmopolitan.However, these were all put aside and he was right back where he started, left behind and called a “ruined man”.Fitzgerald simply wanted too much in his life.He wanted “to be both a great novelist and a Hollywood success, to write songs like Cole Porter and poetry like John Keats”.His addiction to fame held him back and led to his failure as a Hollywood writer.

1.Which is a reason that Fitzgerald failed in screenwriting?

A.He was not talented in screenwriting.

B.He had a miserable family life.

C.He spent too much time watching movies.

A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.

The cost of producing a new - for example - toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it, so we will market it at £1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to £1.15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it.

Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult(侮辱), but he doesn’t. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper.

The real danger starts when unnecessary things become ‘bargains’. Many people just cannot resist bargains. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for. Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets: the saw had been truly cheap.

Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains. A lady once told me: “I’ve had a lucky day today. I bought a dress for £120, reduced from £400; and I bought a beautiful Persian carpet for £600, reduced from £900.” It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted £720. She feels as though she had made £580. She also feels, I am sure, that if she had more time for shopping, she could make a living out of it.

Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper. Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren. They thought it a bargain not to be missed. When the sugar arrived they didn’t know where to store it – until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their sugar. Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee, but the toilet became extremely sticky.

To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer. When greedy fools fall for this trick, it serves them right.

1.Which word best describes the language style of the passage?

A. Polite. B. Foolish. C. Humorous. D. Serious.

2.What does the underlined word “novelty” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Good quality. B. Low price.

C. Newness. D. Curiosity.

3.How does the author feel about 1p OFF a product?

A. It’s a gift for poor people.

B. It’s an offense to shoppers.

C. It’s a bargain worth trying.

D. It’s a real reduction in price.

4.Which statement will the author probably agree with?

A. Bargains are things people don’t really need.

B. Bargains are often real cheap products.

C. Bargains help people make a living.

D. Bargains play tricks on people.
