and Shaftsbury Avenue. Gerrard Street is at the center and is the most important street in the area. There
is a large Chinese community (社区) with a lot of Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and shops in
this street.
In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice
market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London
to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area. Many British people liked Chinese food, and
the restaurants were popular.
These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more
Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew up. Wives came and joined their husbands and children
came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.
In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought
economic (经济的) success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space
for businesses. Gerrand Street became a street only for visitors and was soon a popular place for tourists.
Now everyone knows about London"s Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are seen
with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists
go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese
eat.

| Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is "____________". Now in the 21st century, advertising is more and more important for people. Why? I think it is because through advertising, people, especially the businessmen, can introduce their products to the people all over the world. Because of this, many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. As we all know, there are many advertisements which are very interesting and popular. For example, Michael Jordan made an interesting advertisement for Nike. From this you can see how the companies make their products known to the world. People can make a lot of money through advertising. It is known that many famous singers and movie stars make money in this way. However, I don"t think this is a good way for them to make money, because they are not the professional (职业的) advertisers, especially those who advertise in medicine advertisements. Nowadays, advertising not only means making the products known, but also means making ourselves known to people around us. Living today, we have to make people believe in us if we want to do important jobs. But how can this be done? We should first let other people know our good side: the good habits and abilities we have. In short, we should always remember to advertise ourselves to others. As I said before, advertising is not only important for companies but also for everyone, for all human beings. This is the most interesting thing about advertising. | |||
| 1. The best topic to fill in the line in the first paragraph is "____________". | |||
| A. The Importance of Advertising B. Making Money through Advertising C. Advertising Ourselves D. Advice on Advertisements | |||
| 2. This passage may be a (an) ____________. | |||
| A. advertisement B. story C. speech D. report | |||
| 3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right? | |||
| A. Many companies are willing to spend money on advertising. B. Advertising can make some people rich. C. People can introduce their products through advertisements. D. Advertising is not necessary for anyone. | |||

| Taiwan appears in newspaper headlines more often these days. On April 26, 2005 Kuomintang leader, Lien Chan, visited the mainland and three days later, President Hu Jintao held talks with him. This is the first meeting in 56 years and may help to bring peace across the Taiwan Straits (海峡). How much do you know about this beautiful island? The island faces Fujian. The shortest distance from Taiwan to Fujian is 130 kilometers across the Taiwan Straits. A ship can cover it in four hours. As the biggest island, Taiwan is still only about one-sixth the size of Hunan. Around it, there are also lots of smaller ones, like Penghu Islands and Diaoyu Islands. Taiwan is rich in natural resources (资源). Half of the island is covered with forests, and it has many kinds of agricultural products (农产品), like rice and tea.

They also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the Spring Festival, they even eat dumplings! Once, communications across the Straits were not so good. In 1979, Beijing put forward an idea that Taiwanese people should use better ways of communicating and build better business and transportation. There is now more business and tourism (旅游业) across the Straits. On July 4, 2008, the first direct flights between Taiwan and five mainland cities such as Beijing, Shanghai Nanjing, Guangzhou and Xiamen started up. As we all know, Taiwan is always an important part of our country. We are one big family.
