In his mind all Americans are connected to China in some way. The forum (论坛) was held in Pittsburgh, once a US industrial center, now facing jobcuts because of competition brought about by globalization. The aim of the forum is to help American students learn more about the outside world. Elliott Blackwell, a junior at the Neighborhood Academy, said the forum let him know more about how China’s economic development will affect America in the future. Some students, although impressed by China’s economic boom, expressed uneasiness about the nation’s practices and differences from the American way of doing business and politics. “China is a power coming up, so they might challenge us，” Paul Amon, a junior from Oil City High School, said. “I’d hope that China can be our partner but I think that we’ d clash (冲突) along the way because we’re too different，” he added. George Riley, a teacher explained：“The view of China is usually negative and I think that’s fueled by the media.” However, some negative feelings are not from the media. Merri Ebel is a senior at East Allegheny High School north of Pittsburgh. Both her parents lost their jobs recently. The company they worked for said it was cheaper to produce goods in China rather than the US. “China is just this big question mark. China was just a big country with millions of people that no one really knew about because it was so far away and our class was more American history based，” she said. For better or worse US teenagers are eager to know more about China, the forum shows. 1．From the passage we know that most US teenagers ________. A．know only a little about China B．know much about China C．know nothing about China D．like China very much 2．Many US students expressed their uneasiness about China because________. A．China and the US are too different B．China and the US are close partners C．China and the US are enemies D．they know China very well 3．The main reason why China in their eyes is usually negative is probably that________. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 A．their teachers affect them B．their classmates affect them C．newspapers and online news affect them D．the forum affects them 4．Which of the following from the passage is TRUE? A．The view of China is usually positive. B．The forum is not necessary at all. C．The US and China would clash along the way because we are too big. D．US teenagers are eager to know more about China. 5．What is the best title of the passage?

A fox advised him to be content with what he was blessed with. The peacock reminds me of my friend Mike, who is always upset. He complains his parents are too busy to stay at home with him. He complains he is too short to play basketball well. But he never realizes how much his parents love him, and how beautifully he can play the violin, which makes him the envy of his classmates. Many people around me focus on what they want instead of what they have. As a result of their endless desires, they are often dissatisfied. In my opinion, we should stay positive and value what we have instead of complaining too much. If we remain grateful for what we already have and what we can fulfill, we may live a happier life.
