Which is sillier: denying we ever went to the moon or trying to convince the true non-believers?

Once upon a time—July 20, 1969, to be exact—two men got out of their little spaceship and wandered around on the moon for a while. Ten more men walked on the moon over the next three and a half years.

Unfortunately, not quite. A fair number of Americans think that this whole business of moon landings really is fairy tale. They believe that the landings were a big hoax (騙局) staged in the Mojave Desert, to convince everyone that U.S. technology was the “best” in the whole wide world.

Which is the harder thing to do: Send men to the moon or make believe we did? The fact is that the physics behind sending people to the moon is simple. You can do it with computer whose entire memory capacities can now fit on chips the size of postage stamps and that cost about as much as, well, a postage stamp, I know you can because we did.

However, last fall NASA considered spending $15,000 on a public-relations campaign to convince the unimpressed that Americans had in fact gone to the moon. That idea was mostly a reaction to a Fox television program, first broadcast in February 2001, that claimed to expose the hoax. The show’s creator is a publicity hound (獵狗) who has lived up to the name in more ways than one by hounding Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon. Mr. X (as I will call him, thereby denying him the joyous sight of his name in prim) recently followed Buzz Aldrin around and called him “a thief, liar and coward” until the 72-year-old astronaut finally lost it and hit the 37-year-old Mr. X in the face.

Anyway, NASA’s publicity campaign began to slow down. The non-believers took the campaign as NASA’s effort to hide something while the believers said that $15,000 to convince people that the world was round—I mean, that we had gone to the moon—was simply a waste of money, (Actually, the $15,000 was supposed to pay for an article by James E. Oberg, an astronomy writer who, with Aldrin,has contributed to Scientific American.)

If NASA’s not paying Oberg, perhaps it could put the money to good use by hiring two big guys to drag Neil Armstrong out of the house. Armstrong is an extremely private man, but he is also the first man on the moon, So maybe he has a duty to be a bit more outspoken about the experience. Or NASA could just buy Aldrin a commemorate plaque (紀(jì)念匾) for his recent touch on the face of Mr. X.

A.moon landings were invented B.U.S. technology was the best

C.moon landing ended successfully D.the Mojave Desert was the launching base

2.According to the writer, which of the following is responsible for the story about the hoax?

I would never forget what I learned from the day when I left my junior high school. On the last day our teacher told us something educational that I would like to share with you.

He began by drawing a man standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house, a car and a few friends inside the circle.

He asked, “Can anyone tell me what this is?” In a long silence, one student decided to express his idea, “The world?” The teacher said, “That's close. This is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you—your home, your family, your friends and your jobs. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any danger.”

“Can anyone tell me what will happen when you step out of this circle?” A strong silence came over the room. The same student replied, “You are afraid.” Another student said, “You may make mistakes.” The silence continued and our teacher smiled and asked,“When you make mistakes, what can the result be?” The first student said, “You learn something.”

“Exactly, you are learning.” Our teacher turned to the blackboard and drew an arrow(箭頭) pointing from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying, “When you leave your Comfort Zone, you put yourself out there. The result is that you learn something that you do not know to become a better person.” He drew a bigger circle around the original (原來的) circle, and added a few new things like more friends, a big house, etc.

A lesson from this story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone you will never be able to open your eyes to the outside world. When you step out of your Comfort Zone, you will make your circle bigger to challenge your mind and grow to be stronger, and all in all to be a better person.

1.The story happened on ________.

A.the first day of junior high school B.the last day of junior high school

C.the first day of high school D.the last day of high school

2.Which of the following is NOT included in the Comfort Zone?

A.Friends. B.Cars. C.House. D.School.

3.When people step out of the Comfort Zone, they will ________.

A.feel a little afraid B.learn something

C.begin to make mistakes D.miss their family and friends

4.The passage mainly tells us that ________.

A.stepping out of Comfort Zone can make people better

B.families always get in the way of people's growth

C.arrows help people make more friends

D.silence in the class means students can think more

As Peter was flying towards the ship, he passed the crocodile ( 鱷 魚 ). It had swallowed ( 吞 ) a clock that goes “tick, tick” inside it before. However, the clock wasn’t ticking then. Peter realized it must have stopped. He began ticking himself so that the other animals would think he was the crocodile and leave him alone. The crocodile, thinking that Peter had taken the clock, followed him. But when Peter reached the ship, Captain (船長(zhǎng)) Hook believed the crocodile was coming to get him.

Peter climbed over the side of the ship and went inside a room. He barked like a dog, and all the pirates (海盜) were very afraid. Hook sent two pirates in to find out what the noise was, but they didn’t come back. Then he sent in the children. Inside, Peter set them free, and they prepared to fight.

Peter ran out to meet Hook. “It is I, Peter Pan!” he cried.

“Get him!” cried Hook.

The pirates ran at Peter, and the lost boys ran forward to fight them. The pirates were stronger, but they were so afraid of the ticking and the noise of the dog that they didn’t fight well. Finally only Hook was ready to fight. Peter came to fight him. For a long time, the two enemies stood face to face.

They began to fight. At last Peter hit Hook with his sword ( 劍 ). Hook began to bleed. Hook continued to fight, but he was not strong any more. He knew he was going to die. He ran to the side of the ship and jumped into the sea. He did not know the crocodile was waiting for him, as it no longer ticked. The crocodile swallowed him in one bite.

Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that's no longer the case.

Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9.But for those who were born after 1985,it is a different picture.

"When I first went to the United Kingdom in1997,I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big," Li said. "But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference."

The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a "home brand bias".

More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3. 3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.

"Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all," Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.

The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies-Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.

1.What is this passage mainly about?

A.The quality of 'Made in China'.

B.The change in Chinese buyers' thinking.

C.Chinese products in the eye of foreigners.

D.Differences between older and younger Chinese buyers.

2.Which of the following is true according to the text?

A.More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.

B.Foreign products are more expensive than Chinese ones.

C.More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese products.

D.Older Chinese people don't like foreign products any more.

3.Which fact best explains "home brand bias"?

A.Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015.

B.More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.

C.Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.

D.William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.
