   In ancient China, the State of Wu made an attack on the State of Yue. The king of Wu was badly hurt and soon died. His son Fu Chai became the new king. Fu was very sad and angry and he decided to fight back for his father’s death. He trained his army strictly until it was very strong. Three years later, he led his army against the State of Yue and caught its king Gou Jian, who was taken to the State of Wu.

Gou Jian was put into a small black stone house which was full of terrible smell and was made to raise(飼養(yǎng)) horses. Gou worked hard and tried to keep himself quiet, but he never forgot his pain. Many years later, he was set free. Gou secretly trained his army after he went back to his own state. In order to make himself strong-minded he slept on firewood and ate a gall bladder before having dinner and going to bed every night. After a few years, his country became strong once more. Then Gou took hold of a golden chance to fight against Wu and won the war in the end.

   You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.

In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.

When I first studied English, I was told to say,” I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I’m tired”.

One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused . I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.

Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.

To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(曬黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.

I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are.

In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot of for the public and plays sports or music.

The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.

   A. only in doing homework                  B. only on sports or music

   C. only in working for the public           D. on studies, sports or music and public work

4. Which of the following is NOT true?

   A. The writer is now in US.

B. American girls love to have white skin.

   C. US students are talented and hard working.

   You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving(節(jié)能) policemen ?

 A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and onther public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these sites have set their air conditioning(空調) no cooler than 26 ℃.

They also set up a special phone line so that people can tell them which buildings fail to follow the rule.

“If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That’s one-third of all the usage of the city in the season,” said a TV advertisement.

Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing’s steps in setting up a similar police team.

As one of the fastest developing countries, China is using a lot of energy. This has a great effect on the country’s environment and limited energy.

From 1986 to 2005, the country experienced 20 warm winters continuously. Numbers show that Chinese cities have to spend billion of yuan solving(解決) environmental problems every year.

At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy usage by 20％ and increase renewable energy up to 10％ from 7％ by 2010.

To introduce the public to a green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy-saving technology and productions. Environment-friendly machines, such as a vending machine that helps colllect used bottles, have attracted lots of attention.

“We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find effective ways to do it in our daily lives,” said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.

1. The job of the energy-saving policemen is ______________.

   A. to set the air conditioning cooler

   B. to check the use of energy in public places

   C. to set up a special phone line

   D. to make sure that more energy will be produced

2. Beijing will use ________ million kilowatt-hours electricity in one summer.

   A. 1200              B. 800              C. 400             D. 133

3. Which of the following years’ winters were all warm in China?

   A. 1984-1988.         B. 1999-2003         C. 2002-2006.      D. 2005-2009.

4. In the year 2010 China’s energy usage is going to be cut by ___________.

   A. 20 ％              B.10 ％            C. 7 ％           D. 17 ％

5. According to Liu Qianguang, _______________.

   A. there is few ways to protect the environment

   B. it’s difficult to find good ways to save energy

   C. it’s easy for one to do something good for the environment

   D. it’s not easy for one to do something good for the environment

                                                    June 7, 2008

Dear sir,

   I am writing to introduce myself, with the hope of getting the job you advertised in Daily news.

   When I was a child, I was fond of English and always got good grades. In 1994, after six years of hard work in Beijing No.4 Middle School, I entered People’s University. I studied English there for four years.

   Luckily, I got my first job when I graduated. I taught English in Beijing No. 4 Middle School from 1998 to 2001. Then I got the chance to receive further education in University of Hawaii in the US. That was a precious experience of my life. I learnt a lot during those two years, especially the differences between eastern and western cultures.

   I came back to People’s University in 2003. I worked as an assistant(助手) for 2 years and then as a professor. So far I have got 8 years of working experience.

   I won lots of awards. I was an “Excellent Student” of People’s University in 1997, and an “Outstanding Teacher” of Beijing No. 4 middle school in 2000.

   Thank you for reading my letter, and I will appreciate it very much if you can reply soon.

                                                         Yours sincerely,

                                                           Li Guolong
