When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.
When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully，we can get all these anywhere in India now.
Still, her answer surprised me，“ Green tea.”
As long as I can remember she didn’ t even drink Indian tea.
I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.
At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country.
How things change! And how soon!
Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.
The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投資) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”．
But it’_s_a_twoway_street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.
No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, was expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.
No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the SinoIndian (中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the SinoIndian Friendship Year.
But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.
[語篇解讀] 文章主要講述了一個印度人對中國的印象：中國的發展令他驚訝不已。另外，中國和印度相互合作，實現了雙贏。

People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(體育館). Here，people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall? To climb，you need special shoes and a harness (保護帶) around your chest to hold you.There are ropes(繩索)tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall.A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the next piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear.It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you，and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs.This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb，both your mind and your body can become stronger.
5. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.
B. It is impossible to build up one’s body by climbing.
C. People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.
D. It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.
[解析] 推理判斷題。由本文第一段中“People believe that climbing can do good to health.Where can you learn the skill of climbing then”和第三段中“Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone.”可推斷出答案。
[答案] A
6. The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is________.
A. to tie ropes to your harness
B. to control your fear
C. to move away from the wall
D. to climb straight up
[解析] 細節理解題。根據第二段“The most difficult part is to control your fear.”可以推斷出應該控制一下恐懼心理。
[答案] B
7. The word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means________.
A. settlement B. exercise
C. excitement
D. tiredness
[解析] 詞義猜測題。由文中最后一段最后一句“When you climb，both your mind and your body can become stronger.”可知，該詞意為“鍛煉”。
[答案] B
8. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To tell people where to find gyms.
B. To prove the basic need for climbing.
C. To encourage people to climb mountains.
