Survey Studies Internet Use in China

A typical(典型的) Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, seldom makes online purchases(購買) and favors news, music and games sites. According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news — often entertainment-related — or for online games. About half download music and movies.

They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.

“Many people don’t trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”

The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.

China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.

1. A typical Chinese Internet user will be the one who ______.

A. likes to buy goods online

B. likes the games sites

C. likes to pay for entertainment

D. likes to send e-mails

2.Online purchases still remain unpopular in China mainly because ______.

A. goods bought online are of low quality

B. people can’t have a look at the goods

C. it is more difficult for sales returns

D. people haven’t computers

3. Which of the following words fails to describe the typical netizens in the five cities?

A. young B. female

C. well educated D. richer

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”（風格）of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused （困惑）in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks （地標）in their directions instead of street names． For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks．There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles．Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances．In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles．Turn east, and then go another mile.”

People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles．“How far away is the post office?” you ask．“Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.

It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes．What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite．They usually give an answer, often a wrong one．A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

1.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.

A．describe the place carefully

B．show him a map of the place

C．tell him the names of the streets

D．refer to recognizable buildings and places

2.What is the place where people measure distance in time?

A．New York. B．Iowa.

C．Kansas. D．Los Angeles.

3.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______.

A．in order to save time B．a(chǎn)s a test．

C．for fun D．so as to be polite

4.What can we infer from the text?

A．It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.

B．It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.

C．People have similar understandings of politeness.

D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

Yesterday a school boy is daydreaming in class. Not knowing that he was doing, he put a pen cap into his mouth. A few minutes late, he was terrified to find that he had swallowed it! The teacher was shocking when the boy stood up and said, “I've just swallowed a pen cap.” He was quickly sent the nearest hospital. There a doctor examined him and said the best treatment was to take some medicines so that the pen cap could pass natural. Three hours later the boy successfully made it.“She is really lucky，” said the doctor. “It's not rare that small children put things into their mouths for a fun. It's very danger.”
