People at home keep asking me, "Is it hard to learn Chinese? Why have you learned it so well?" Well,
there"s one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You"ve probably
heard that it"s the most spoken language. Today it"s also one of the most written languages online. And
with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn"t be easier to find a friend for language
learning. You just have to know where to look for them.
The really good place to look for them is QQ. QQ has the same status (地位) in China as AIM (AOL
Instant Messenger) does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 9,000,000 people are using
QQ. They"re at work, or in a web café (网吧), or at home, and the information of the users can be found.
If you sign on with your address set to"abroad", you"ll soon find that many thousands of them are interested
in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that
it"s a very interesting way of cultural contact (文化交流), too, for ordinary people from around the world
to be able to have one-on-one contact. |

It can change suddenly in a very short time, and that has happened a few times in the past days. Yesterday
is a good example, when we woke up at 8:00 it was cloudy but dry. Soon after it started to rain a bit at around
10:00 am. In 20 minutes it became snowy, and it was freezing cold outside. Then at around 12:00, when we
just finished our visit to the Potala, the snow stopped and the clouds became thick. In an hour the temperature
went up to over 20 degrees (度) and it became sunny! Later in the afternoon it became even warmer and we
had drinks at an open air tea-house in the old town. At night after dinner when we wanted to take a taxi back
to the hotel, it suddenly was very cold again and it started raining at 6:30. The whole day there was hardly any
wind, but while waiting for the taxi at 7:00 the wind suddenly picked up. Today it"s sunny again, but windy,
and about 13 degrees. But the weather report that we received this morning said it would snow again. | Strange Weather in Lhasa| Time | 1______ | 12:00 pm | 3______ | 6:30 pm | 5______ | | Weather | snowy | 2______ | sunny | 4______ | windy | | 阅读理解。 | Our local Community (社区) Youth Club is a very popular organization with young people in my town.
I have been a member for four years now and I"ve taken part in a lot of interesting projects. These include
fun activities such as holiday camps and discos. We have even made a video.
But it isn"t all just enjoyment. We have also started doing social work to help people in our neighbourhood.
We have organized activities for small children during the holidays. We have also formed a special support
group to help young people stop smoking.
We are particularly proud of the most recent group we have created. It organizes regular visits to the local
home for the elderly. This idea came from a school visit to a home for the elderly. My class spent an afternoon
at the home and everyone found the visit very rewarding (有意义的). The old people at the home were excited
by our visit. They were very talkative (健谈的) and they told us their personal stories. During our visit, the
home was full of the sound of laughter. We sang songs and played games with the old people and had tea
together. But we realized that life wasn"t always easy. Some of them were in poor health and were very
unhappy. They couldn"t go outside and the visits by children brought some sunshine into their lives.
Many young people like me have very little contact with elderly people. As a result, we have a lot of wrong
ideas about them. We have little or no idea of the kind of lives they lead in the homes. After this visit, my
friends and I decided we should do something to help improve the quality of their lives.
Since the creation of our visiting group over twenty volunteers have joined us. Up to now, we have
organized three group evening parties and a concert. But I think the individual (单独的) visits are the most
important. Club members regularly visit old people and everyone finds the experience rich and rewarding. | 1. Is the writer a member of the Youth Club?

and sugar. But Julia says she loves chocolate so much-once she starts eating it, she can"t stop.
Julia isn"t the only one who loves chocolate. It is a favorite food for people all over the world. People prefer
chocolate over ice cream, cakes, and cookies.
The idea of eating chocolate didn"t begin until the 19th century. Before that, people drank chocolate. The
habit began in Central America where the Aztecs drank bowls of chocolate to stay watchful. When the liquid
(液体) chocolate was brought to Spain in the 1500s, people thought it was medicine because it had a medicine
taste. In fact, the people who made chocolate into drinks were doctors.
Then people discovered that mixing chocolate with sugar made a wonderful drink. King Ferdinand of Spain
loved this drink so much that he put out an order: anyone who talked about chocolate outside the court (法庭)
would be killed. For about 100 years, chocolate was a secret in Spain.
Finally, people found out about chocolate, and it became a popular drink in Europe. Later, the Swiss mixed
milk and chocolate. Today, most Americans prefer milk chocolate, while most Europeans prefer dark chocolate.
New research shows that chocolate is actually good for us." Chocolate has different kinds of vitamins,"
says a researcher in France." It has more than 300 different chemicals. One chemical works on the part of the
brain (大脑) that feels pleasure. People who feel good when they eat chocolate are actually healthier. Feeling
pleasure is important for health and can protect against illness."" Good chocolate doesn"t have much fat or
sugar. You can enjoy it if you eat a little at a time!" says Tara Bearish, another chocolate lover. | 1. _______ Doctors made chocolate into drinks.
