It’s not the first time a term has gone popular on the Internet in China. However, why is the word so viral that is has become a cultural phenomenon? Here, we tell you something you want to know about it. Where it began The word originated in Baidu. Com’s Tieba (a top Chinese bulletin board system) of soccer player Li Yi. There, fans of Li, who are called yisi in Chinese, not only talk about soccer but complain about their lives, work and relationships. Yisi, who are known for their rude and dirty language, were given the name diaosi by others who have seen their posts. What a “diaosi” is like The word diaosi was coined first by single, young men who feel they have dead-end lives. Generally, men in this category don’t earn enough, are not good-looking, and have difficulty winning promotion(晋升). Unlike their upper-class contemporaries(同代人), they lack influential families, useful social networks for their careers, and most importantly, suitable women to marry. “I’m just a diaosi, poor and plain-looking. Who will marry me?” The sigh can be heard, which is half self-mockery(自嘲), half reality. Many young men call themselves diaosi because they feel they are among the lowest classes of the society. “Diaosi” culture reflects social changes According to Zhu Chongke, a professor in the School of Asia-Pacific Studies at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, the popularity of this word diaosi stems from the fact that is was created by common people and thus resonates(共鸣) with a huge population. “Labeling yourself a diaosi offers a way for people to mock themselves and relieve pressure, hence it spread quickly,” he told Xinhua Agency. “The attitude is basically: ‘I already have little to lose, so why don’t I mock myself for gun?’.” The phenomenon reflects a larger social issues. These young people have no influential family background, no chances of receiving promotion at work or no economic strength to find a proper woman to marry. It reflects a deep sense of loss. 1.Diaosi refers to the ones with following features except . A. the ones who don’t earn much. B. the ones who are not good-looking. C. the ones who have difficulty winning promotion D. the ones who have suitable people to marry. 2.The word “diaosi” is so popular because . A. It was used to describe the fans of soccer player Li Yi. B. It was created by common people and resonates with a huge population. C. It is new and interesting. D. It helps people who are among the lowest classes mock themselves. 3.Which of the following is NOT true? A. It’s not the first time a term like “diaosi” has gone popular on the Internet. B. The name “diaosi” was given by those people who are among the lowest classes. C. Many young people call themselves diaosi because they have a deep sense of loss. D.

Xu Hui is very excited. The Senior 1 student in a middle school in Beijing will go to South Korea with his parents during the Spring Festival. “Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily. Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people. Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes. By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense. The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular. “More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak(高峰) in European tours.” Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association(CCA, 中国消费者协会) offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster. “Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations(名声) and official approval to organize overseas tour groups. Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping. Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts(合同) with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保险). 1.How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 2.According to the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face when going overseas? A. Choosing the best travel agent. B. Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to. C. Traveling to Europe. D. Cost. 3.According to the passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency? A. People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to. B. People spend more money than they had planned to. C. People go to different places than they had planned to. D. People complained more than they had planned to. 4.The underlined part “random changes” probably means that _______. A. the travelers agreed with the changes. B. the travel agency didn’t make any changes. C. the travel agency refused to changes the routes. D. the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan.

The day I became a mom was not the day my daughter was born, but seven years later. Up until that day, I had been too busy trying to survive my abusive(辱骂的) marriage. I had spent all my energy trying to run a "perfect" home that would pass inspection each evening, and I didn't see that my baby girl had become a toddler. I'd tried endlessly to please someone who could never be pleased and suddenly realized that the years had slipped by and could never return. Oh, I had done the normal "motherly" things, like making sure my daughter got to ballet and gym lessons. I went to all of her recitals and school concerts, parent-teacher conferences and open houses alone. We suffered from my husband's rages(暴怒) when something was spilled(溢出) at the dinner table, telling her, "It will be okay, Honey. Daddy's not really mad at you." I did all I could to protect her from hearing the awful shouting and complaints after he returned from a night of drinking. Finally I did the best thing I could do for my daughter and myself: I removed us from the home that wasn't really a home at all. That day I became a mom was the day when my daughter and I were sitting in our new home having a calm, quiet dinner just as I had always wanted for her. We were talking about what she had done in school and suddenly her little hand knocked over the full glass of chocolate milk by her plate. As I watched the white tablecloth and freshly painted white wall become dark brown, I looked at her small face. It was filled with fear, knowing what the consequence of the event would have meant only a week before in her father's presence. When I saw that look on her face and looked at the chocolate milk running down the wall, I simply started laughing. I am sure she thought I was crazy, but then she must have realized that I was thinking, "It's a good thing your father isn't here!" She started laughing with me, and we laughed until we cried. They were tears of joy and peace and were the first of many tears that we cried together. That was the day we knew that we were going to be okay. Whenever either of us spills something, even now, seventeen years later, she says, "Remember the day I spilled the chocolate milk? I knew you had done the right thing for us." That was the day I really became a mom. I discovered that being a mom isn't only going to ballet or gym, recitals, and attending every school concert and open house. It isn't keeping a tidy house and preparing perfect meals. It certainly isn't pretending things are normal when they are not. For me, being a mom started when I could laugh over spilled milk. ---- By Linda Jones from “Chicken Soup for Soul” 1.What does the underlined part "the right thing" refer to? A．Becoming a single mother. B．Divorcing with her abusive husband. C．Doing all the motherly things well and running the family. D．Not blaming on her daughter’s spilling the chocolate milk. 2.Which statement is NOT true?． A．The author had suffered from an unfortunate marriage for a long time. B．All the things the author did were to protect her daughter C．The author hadn’t been a mother until she removed from her marriage. D．Both the author and her daughter were frightened at the husband and father. 3.Why did the author and her daughter laugh and then cry? A．Because it was a thorough relief after they had suffered too much. B．Because they were actually crazy. C．Because they wouldn’t see the abusive man any more. D．Because spilling the chocolate milk on the wall was really funny. 4.What is the best title for this article? A．How To Be a Better Mon? B．The Day I Became a Mom C．A Thing Happened 17 Years Ago D．Survive an Abusive Marriage

“Choo，Choo！”Here comes the Chunnel train. Get aboard if you want to learn more about this underground transportation system. This is an unusual form of transportation, because it is a tunnel that trains travel through and not an actual form of transportation. The Chunnel is actually the English nickname for the Channel Tunnel. In French，it is called le tunnel sous la Manche. It is a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover. It connects Cheriton in Kent, England with Sangatte in northern France. It is the second longest rail tunnel in the world. Did you know that the British and the French had a race while they were building the Chunnel? The race was to see who could get to the middle of the tunnel first. The British won by a little bit. It took 15,000 workers over seven years to dig the tunnel. The tunnel was finished in 1994. The completed Chunnel cost about $21 billion. But it all paid off, because it became very popular, very quick. Millions of people use it. Now it is getting even more popular. There are three complete tunnels in the Chunnel. The two outside ones are the passenger trains. The small inner one is a guidance train. The guidance train is not used for transportation. Each track is exactly parallel to each other. There are four different train systems in the Chunnel. The Eurostar is a high speed passenger service that connects London, Paris, Brussels and Lille. The Eurotunnel shuttle is a rail ferry service. These shuttles carry cars and vans. These are railcars that allow drivers to drive their vehicles on and off. There are also two Eurotunnel goods service trains. Now you know more about the Chunnel. Everybody off，this is the last stop. 1.The Channel Tunnel links ________with________. A. London; Paris B. Cheriton; Sangatte C. Lille; Brussels D. Dover; Kent 2.Which of the following shows the structure of the tunnels in the Chunnel?
3.The Eurotunnel shuttle is intended to carry________. A. passengers B. drivers and their vehicles C. goods D. staff members of the Chunnel 4.The text can most probably be ________. A. found in a guidebook B. read in a magazine C. broadcast on a train D. heard in a railway station
