Passage 1

Apple announced its new iPhones last week, but competitors’ mobile phones can

do many of the same things for less money.

The new iPhone 8 and X have wireless charging, edge-to-edge glass screen and

double cameras. But all of these features are already available in smart phones from

China’s Huawei and Oppo, and Korea’s Samsung. While Apple asks buyers to pay

$1,000 for its high-end model, some Asian phone makers can offer similar features for

less.

At one time, Chinese manufacturers copied features and designs from others to

produce low-cost phones. But they have now added high-end features to their phones

and they control nearly half the global mobile phone market.

Media MarktSaturn is Europe’s biggest electronics seller. A spokesperson for the

store told Reuters that,“Huawei is seen as a relevant competitor to Apple and Samsung

by covering all major price points and placing big investments in marketing and sales. ’’

She also said that the Chinese companies Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo and TCL were among

the top-10 best-selling smart phones in its stores.

Chinese manufacturers’ fast growth has been fueled by strong sales in China. But

they now export 40 percent of their smart phones. That is almost double the number

from just three years ago, according to the Hong Kong investment company CLSA.

Huawei is currently the world’s third largest phone maker behind Samsung and

Apple. According to research company Canalys, the Chinese company is getting closer

to second-place Apple and might overtake it later this year. Huawei plans to show its

top-of-the-line Mate 10 phone on Oct. 13. The phone will have artificial intelligence

features such as instant translation and image recognition and will cost less than $1,000.

Other Chinese companies are looking to enter the high-end smart phone market.

farming and giving rewards to soldiers who were successful during war.

But at the beginning, these reforms were not easily carried out. Only a few

people in the state understood Shang's talent and the advantages of his plans. Most

people had little trust and confidence in him.

To solve this problem, Shang came up with an idea. He ordered some soldiers

to put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the Qin state capital. This attracted many

people. Then, in front of the crowd, he said loudly: "People of Qin, whoever takes this

pole to the north gate will get a reward of 10 gold pieces. "

It was a simple task and the reward was big. Some time passed and no one

stepped forward. They all thought that Shang was joking. Hearing no answer, Shang

stepped forward and said, "I will increase the reward to 50 gold pieces. "

The words sounded even more unbelievable. Finally, a man from the crowd

came forward to take the pole. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north

gate. True to his word, Shang paid the man 50 gold pieces.

Soon, the people were saying that Shang was a man of his word. When he

Passage 3

Modern fathers spend an average of six and a half hours a week playing with their

children. A study said this equals 338 hours a year, or just over 14 days, three whole

days more fun time than their own fathers spent with them.

The report said modern parents are "adventurous", as many encourage their

children to play outside. A third of parents also prefer family trips which encourage

children to learn new still and most say that having fun together improves family ties.

company which provides advice on child development, said being adventurous helps

children. She said, "Being adventurous from an early age helps children develop

important skill that will as throughout childhood and set them up for a healthy and

successful adulthood. “

Outdoor activities are a popular choice for dads and their children, with 40 percent

choosing nature trails and 26 percent looking for wildlife, while 13 percent say their

top outdoor activity is climbing trees. The simple things are the most popular, with 46

percent going to the park and 41 percent choosing to kick a ball around their children.

Dr. Gummer said, "Children are able to challenge themselves by being more

adventurous and they can be safe in the knowledge that their dad will be there to help

if things start getting out of control. Parents can help encourage their children's

adventurous, outdoor spirit with wildlife treasure hunts and adventure playgrounds.

Passage 4

A small town in southwest Britain is banning plastic bags in an attempt to help the

environment and cut waste—a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.

Shopkeepers in Modbury, population 1, 500, agreed to stop handing out disposable

plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags

would be offered instead.

Last month, San Francisco became the first U. S city to ban plastic grocery bags.

Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of

South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine

companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30

remote Alaskan villages.

Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty

(宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They

will be sent for recycling.

The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking. who saw the effect of bags

on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said

response (反应) in the town so far had been "really positive".

"Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets

to go out shopping anyway, " Hosking told Sky News Television.

The Worldwatch Institute, an environment research agency, states that 100 billion

plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 are

used yearly around the world.

A. Environment Protection

B. Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags

D. British Town Banning Plastic Bags

Passage 5

Eating out is such a pleasure ― the food, the wine, the joy of having it all brought

to you by someone else ― that it's a pity to ruin the experience by sharing it with other

people.

Well, I do like visiting restaurants with friends. But dining out alone has its own

very special attractions. For a start you can give all your attention to the food. There's

nothing worse than having to invent and deliver an opinion on school league tables or

Sanchez's move to Manchester United, plus listen to everyone else's opinions, when all

you really want to do is enjoy each mouthful along the way.

A second great thing about eating out alone is the chance to combine food with

one of life's other true pleasures: reading. You have to plan this carefully: Indian or

Chinese restaurants are best ― you need food you can eat with just one hand, leaving

the other free to hold your reading material.

But perhaps the biggest attraction of a table for one is the chance it gives to people-

watching. Restaurants and the different reasons for visiting them ― first date, business

meeting, night out with friends ― produce human behavior of surprising richness and

variety. Will the man selling his business idea get any joy out of his possible investor

(投资者)? Will the married couple think of anything to say to each other before their

main courses arrive?

This "human zoo" part of eating out alone is one of the reasons I'd hate to be

famous: everyone would be watching you, so you wouldn't be able to watch them. The

snooker player Steve Davis says this was one of the strangest consequences (后果) of

becoming well-known: he got very worried about his eating in public, almost to the

level of doubting whether he was "doing it right. "

So next time you're considering your eating out choices, remember the advice of

the businessman Nubar Gulbenkian: "The best number for a dinner party is two ―

myself and a super head waiter. "

1. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. The reasons for eating out alone.

B. The trouble with eating in public.

C. The suggestions about dining out.

D. The fear of making dining choices.

2. What is the best part of dining out alone?

A. One can fix one's eyes on the food.

B. One can enjoy reading while eating.

C. One is likely to come across famous people.

D. One is given the chance to watch other diners

3. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5?

A. Steve Davis cared too much about table manners. B. Famous people are always the

center of attention.

C. Being famous may ruin the joy of eating out alone.

D. Being watched seems far better than watching others.

4. What is suggested at the end of the text?

A. Dining with friends.

B. Chatting over dinner.

C. Having a table for one. D. Sharing a table with a waiter.
