Editor’s notes: Shanghai Disneyland has created discussions on Chinese social media because of its VIP service, which allows high-paying customers to skip lines for rides and attractions. Do you support this service?
YES | Student A Paying special fees is seen as a normal business behavior. Disneyland is a for-profit (盈利) theme park, which means it has to find ways to make money. Guests who get to jump the queue have paid an extra fee, so why should we blame them? |
Student B According to Disneyland’s rules, VIPs may cut in line. After all, they have spent more money. If you buy a first-class ticket on a plane, you receive better treatment. And in banks, there are VIP windows for special customers. Spending more money is just a choice. | |
NO | Student C I think this service is a bad idea. First, it’s unreasonable to build one’s happiness upon others’ pain, so being rich doesn’t mean we can do whatever we want. Second, this rule may teach children that people can solve any problem with money, which is a misleading (誤導(dǎo)) attitude (態(tài)度) towards life. |
Student D I don’t agree with paying extra money to cut in line. Though it’s convenient for VIP visitors, it wastes other tourists’ time, leaving a very bad impression on them. To make the matter worse, children will see that the world isn’t fair to everyone, which will be bad for the development of their values. |

I would never forget what I learned from the day when I left my junior high school. On the last day our teacher told us something educational that I would like to share with you.
He began by drawing a man standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house, a car and a few friends inside the circle.
He asked, “Can anyone tell me what this is?” In a long silence, one student decided to express his idea, “The world?” The teacher said, “That's close. This is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you—your home, your family, your friends and your jobs. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any danger.”
“Can anyone tell me what will happen when you step out of this circle?” A strong silence came over the room. The same student replied, “You are afraid.” Another student said, “You may make mistakes.” The silence continued and our teacher smiled and asked,“When you make mistakes, what can the result be?” The first student said, “You learn something.”
“Exactly, you are learning.” Our teacher turned to the blackboard and drew an arrow(箭頭) pointing from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying, “When you leave your Comfort Zone, you put yourself out there. The result is that you learn something that you do not know to become a better person.” He drew a bigger circle around the original (原來的) circle, and added a few new things like more friends, a big house, etc.
A lesson from this story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone you will never be able to open your eyes to the outside world. When you step out of your Comfort Zone, you will make your circle bigger to challenge your mind and grow to be stronger, and all in all to be a better person.
1.The story happened on ________.

2.Which of the following is NOT included in the Comfort Zone?

3.When people step out of the Comfort Zone, they will ________.

A.stepping out of Comfort Zone can make people better

Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that's no longer the case.
Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9.But for those who were born after 1985,it is a different picture.
"When I first went to the United Kingdom in1997,I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big," Li said. "But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference."
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a "home brand bias".
More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3. 3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.
"Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all," Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies-Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.
1.What is this passage mainly about?
A.The quality of 'Made in China'.
B.The change in Chinese buyers' thinking.
C.Chinese products in the eye of foreigners.
D.Differences between older and younger Chinese buyers.
2.Which of the following is true according to the text?
A.More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.
B.Foreign products are more expensive than Chinese ones.
C.More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese products.
D.Older Chinese people don't like foreign products any more.
3.Which fact best explains "home brand bias"?
A.Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015.
B.More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.
C.Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.
D.William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.
