Yangzhou is famous for its jade production and long history in jade carving(玉雕). Over thousands of years, jade craftsmen(工匠) have devoted themselves to continuing and developing the ancient traditional skills to create many fine jade articles of various shapes and sizes.
The craft(工艺) of Yangzhou jade carving dated(追溯) from 4,000 BC, during the Xia Dynasty. Due to social development, Yangzhou jade carving was further advanced during the Han Dynasty. Many kinds of excavated jade relics(出土的玉器) showed the growth of jade carving craft over time.
The economic development of the Tang Dynasty led to a new level in Yangzhou jade carving industry. At that time, wealthy families usually had their houses decorated with jade objects. On the other hand, the ordinary people began wearing small jade pieces. At the same time, Yangzhou jade articles and jade carving craft spread all over China.
During the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Yangzhou jade shaping skills reached new heights. In the Qing Dynasty, especially in the time of Emperor Qianlong, the craft reached its peak（顶峰）. Yangzhou had to contribute(贡献) jade articles(玉器）to the emperor every year. At that time, the artistic style of “mixing the northern grandness with the southern fineness” of Yangzhou jade wares made its first appearance.
After the 1950s, Yangzhou jade carving was brought to life again. Yangzhou stays ahead in the jade industry and has therefore won many national awards. Now there are some famous jade craftsmen living in Yangzhou. With their guidance, Yangzhou jade wares of top quality are being produced, enjoying high praise from both home and abroad.

My father was German, but he worked in England. He married my mother, who was English. Her family name was Robinson, so when I was born in 1632,in England, they called me Robinson, after her.
My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job, and live a quiet, pleasant life. But I wanted adventure and an exciting life.
"I want to be a sailor and go to sea," I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this.
"Please don't go." my father said, "You won't be happy you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life." And because I love him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea.
But I couldn't forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship and my friend said to me, "we are sailing to London tomorrow. Why don't you come with us?"
On September 1st, 1651，I went to Hull, and the next day we sailed for London.
But, a few days later, there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous, and the ship went up and down. I was very ill，and was very afraid.
"Oh, I don't want to die!”I cried, "I want to live! If I live, I will go home and never go to sea again!"
The next day the wind stopped, and the sea was quiet and beautiful again.
"Well, Robinson," my friend laughed, "How do you feel now? The wind wasn't too bad."
"What!" I cried. "It was a terrible storm."
"Oh, that wasn't a storm," my friend answered, "just a little wind. Forget it, come and have a drink."
After a few drinks with my friend, I felt better. I forgot about the danger, and decided not to go home. I didn't want my friend and family to laugh at me!
I stayed in London for some time, but I still, wanted to go to the sea. So, when the captain(船长)of a ship asked me to go with him to Guinea in Africa, I agreed. And so I went to the sea for the second time.
It was a good ship, and everything went well at first, but I was very ill again. Then when we were near the Canary Islands, a Turkish pirate(海盗)ship came after us. They were famous thieves of the sea at that time. There was a long, hard fight, but when it finished, we and the ship were prisoners. The Turkish captain and his men took us to Sallee in Morocco. They wanted to sell us as slaves(奴隶)in the market. But in the end, the Turkish captain decided to keep me for himself, and took me home with him. This was a sudden and terrible change in my life. This Turkish captain was now my master.

Do you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands（牌子）around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.
For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $ 80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?
Experts say it’s because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”
Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves.
Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “I’d rather spend the extra money to get something I know I’ll be satisfied with.” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer is stupid and unreasonable.” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “It’s fake（假的）happiness.”
People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren’t any better. “It’s wasteful to buy things just because they are popular.” says Edmund Williams, 15. “You’ll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra（额外的）money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.”
1.The example of Jim’s report wants to tell us ________.
A.popular brands make people comfortable
B.Koss Pro headphones are better than Beats
C.the hottest brands are of the highest quality
D.less-known brands may offer the same quality as name brands
2.According to experts, people choose the hottest brands probably ________.
A.for their better quality B.to show off
C.for their better designs D.to belong to a special group
3.What does Edmund think of expensive brands?
A.They make him feel confident. B.They are not worth the price.
C.They need to improve their quality. D.They pay too much attention to personal likes.
4.The text is mainly about ________.
A.how to buy things reasonably B.the competition between brands
C.the different values of teenagers D.whether expensive brands are worth high prices
