release (发表) his new novel on the Internet.
Ta De Guo (His Country), of which Han Han has finished only one tenth so far, will be available for paid
reading from December 1st on Qidian.com, the online library has announced.
Han Han will update the story every day and finish the book before the end of the year. A printed edition
will only be produced after all of the content goes online, sources said.
To read the entire book, readers will have to pay eight yuan, or 0.08 yuan per 1,000 words. This is almost
four times the price of an average writer on Qidian.com.
Lu Jinbo, a well-known publisher, estimated that a popular writer like Han Han is likely to attract 20 million
subscribers. That means this high-school-dropout-turned popular author could bring in 160 million yuan, nearly
40 times as much as he earned in copyright royalties (版税) last year.
On the 2007 list of Chinese millionaire writers, Han Han ranked 13th with 3.8 million yuan. The richest, Guo
Jingming, earned 11 million yuan.
Statistics from China Internet Network Information Center show that there are at least 253 million Internet
users in China. Such a large-scale Internet population has developed a prosperous industry for online novel
writing. Among the many success stories is Zhang Muye, an office worker whose fantasy novel Ghost Blows
out the Light made him the 19th wealthiest author in 2007.
Besides the potential to gain a large readership base, the Internet writers are being recognized professionally.

however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboo (禁忌) in
a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history,art,and customs.
You may expect questions about your family, and be sure to show pictures of your children. You may feel
free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art
form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be
interesting-and they can cover pretty much or any topic-as long as they occur in are spiteful and intelligent
manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work,
family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do
not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away
from the harmonious business relationship they"re trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about
their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi
Arabia about his wife or children.
As a general rule, it"s best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get
you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different religious views. In addition, discussing
one"s salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world,
although be careful not to criticize fl national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host"s team.

famous Top of the Hub was wonderful, especially the lobster soup and warm chocolate cake.
But it wasn"t the choice of restaurant that was making me so happy this particular Saturday night. It was
that we had enjoyed a day of college touring in Boston without everyone feeling bored.
Anyone who has ever toured colleges with a high school student-and I"m on my third round-knows that"s
no small feat. I"ve driven four hours to a college, but my son refused to get out of the car because he didn"t
like the 1ook of the campus; I"ve flown halfway across the country, but my daughter gave up before the tour
because she didn"t like the way the other future college students looked and because the campus was "too flat".
You can imagine my pleasure this Saturday night in America"s College Town (Boston is believed to have
the most colleges and universities in a city area). 16-year-old Melanie was thoroughly enjoying herself. It helped
that we booked a new hotel, the Liberty Hotel, built on the site of a former jail and had time to visit the Museum
of Science, which was a short walk from our hotel.
Boston has become a popular college tour stop, so don"t think you can avoid the crowds by touring
campuses in winter. Also, don"t plan to visit more than two campuses a day. An official says that it"s important
to spend some time exploring the surrounding area as well as the campus to get a true sense of what it would
be like to go to school there.
Boston, with so many different kinds of schools, is a great place to reassure (使……安心) your nervous
child, and yourself, that there is indeed a school where they will feel welcome and where they will be happy.
B. Choosing a good college for your kids.
C. The rise in touring of Boston"s colleges.
D. Tips for college selecting in Boston.
B. it"s hard to get children interested in visiting universities
C. children don"t want their parents to be with them while visiting
D. the places they visited are too simple and boring
B. That the hotel was near America"s College Town.
C. That the universities were concentrated in the city area.
D. That they booked a new hotel built on a former jail.
B. To have a good look at the university they have applied to.
C. To find a sch001 which they really like.
D. To enjoy the cultural sites around the universities.
your need for sleep. And the aircraft"s bathroom is a total mess. These situations can make even a short flight
unbearable. Hopefully you don"t cause these unpleasant experiences for others. Instead, you can set an example
by following these common airplane courtesies.
Always recline your seat slowly. There"s nothing worse than suddenly being slammed in the knees by the
seat in front of you. In addition, don"t keep your seat reclined for the entire flight. Always keep it upright
position before going to the restroom (or anytime you leave your seat).
Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtime. Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays have been
collected. It"s hard for passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays. And when
using the bathroom,always clean up after your-self-the next user will be grateful!
Keep your body-and your possessions-to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your in-flight
seatmate(s). Share the armrest, especially on a long flight. Also, be careful not to kick or push on the seat in
front of you, and don"t allow your children to do so either.
While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some people
may want to nap, read or work. If the conversation seems one-sided, take the hint.
If you are traveling with someone and want to chat,keep your voices low. If using electronic gadgets,
keep the volume down. People can still hear through your headphones if the volume is too high.
When exiting the plane, if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage, help them if you can.
If you can"t help, wait patiently, and don"t push past people to get off the airplane.
On your next flight, remember that it all boils down to the golden rule. Treat others the way you want
to be treated!
B. Keep your belongings to yourself as much as possible.
C. Use your headphones and keep the volume down.
D. All the above.
B. a newspaper
C. a magazine
D. a science book
B. manners
C. experiences
D. passengers
B. Bad manners in the sky.
C. Behave yourself in the sky.
D. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
schools and to non-native speakers learning the language. It is also the variety which is normally spoken by
educated people and used in news broadcasts and other similar situations. The difference between standard
and non-standard, it should be noted, has nothing in principle (原理) to do with differences between formal
and informal language: Standard English has informal as well as formal variants.
Historically the standard variety of English is based on the London Dialect of English that developed after
the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became
the one preferred by the educated, and it was developed and promoted as a model, or norm, for wider and
wider parts of society. It was also the norm that was carried overseas. But not one unaffected by such export.
Today, standard English is codified (编写) to the degree that the grammar and vocabulary of English are much
the same everywhere in the world where English is used: difference among the local standards is really quite
minor, so that the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties are really very little different from one another
so far as grammar and vocabulary are concerned. Indeed, standard English is so powerful that it puts a
tremendous pressure on all local varieties, to the degree that many of the long-established dialects of England
have lost much of their vigor (活力) and there is much pressure on them to converge (靠拢) towards the
standard. This latter situation is not unique to English:it is also in other countries where processes of
standardization are under way. But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind
of compromise between local norms and national, even super-national ones.
B. the influence between standard English and non-standard English
C. the origin and development of standard English used nowadays
D. the difference between standard English and the London dialects
B. Standard English doesn"t differ from non-standard English in principle.
C. Informal English is the same as non-standard English.
D. Standard English is better than Non-standard English.
B. by educated and native speakers only
C. in news broadcasts
D. in print
B. difference among dialects to grow
C. many dialects to lose uniqueness
D. many new varieties to disappear
B. differs little from any variety of English in the world
C. differs greatly from dialects outside the U.K
D. differs a little from any variety of English
a tattoo (纹身) design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion
be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The
following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.
On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have
perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild
animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who
will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic (麻药) and this tooth filing is
really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are
thought ready to become an adult.
In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the "Papaung". They believe that a woman can
only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that you are
either born with a long or short neck and that there"s nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be
wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the
chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders
down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never
once taking them off.
B. Body decoration.
C. Attractive decoration.
D. Beautiful body decoration.
B. luggage
C. schoolbag
D. basket
B. a person with straight, flat teeth looks ugly
C. a teenager"s teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic
D. no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off
B. It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.
C. Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.
D. Many people think that a woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.
