China's 40-year-long process of reform and opening up meant foreign influences gaining a

foothold in the county, But now ,the process can also be viewed in the opposite way. The outside

world is opening up as a receptacle for Chinese culture. Where once it was all a matter of Chinese

people fascinated by Hollywood movies, a new “soft power" trend is taking Chinese pop music,

TV series and novels to appreciative audiences abroad.

Englishwoman Hollie Sowden and American Nora Wilson developed a website called

“Written Chinese," with a Chinese woman named Chamcen Liu. The website provides a

dictionary and other Mandarin learning tools. Wilson says, “At the beginning, it was just a

Facebook page where we posted characters, their meanings and example sentences. That page

expanded like crazy, with nearly 280,000 followers. That's why we decided to develop a

dictionary app and then the website.”

Sowden and Wilson aren't the only eager to tap world interest in China.

Years ago, groups formed in the US to provide English subtitles for popular Chinese TV

dramas. There are also websites translating Chinese novels, especially fantasy series. Wuxiaworld

and Gravity Tales are two examples, with tens of thousands of followers on their Facebook pages.

Chinese music, too, is walking through the open door that once was a one-way street. Melody

C2E is a student chub at the Shanghai International Studies University, which is trying to spread

Chinese pop songs to the world. It now has around 300,000 subscribers. The inspiration is rooted

in 2016, when Pan Jianghao heard a youth envoy (公使) for the United Nations say that the world

wanted to hear more from Chinese young people. Motivated by his words, Pan and Lin Hongying

decided to found a new musical group and share Chinese pop, songs with the rest of the world via

English translation.

A. Container. B. Source. C. Center. D. Foundation.

B. To preserve Chinese traditional songs.

C. To improve its members' translation skills.

D. To introduce Chinese pop songs to the globe.

C. China's Cultural Footprint on Foreign Shores

D. Reform and Opening up Shaping a New Generation

It was a red-letter day in the history of medicine-“Target Zero Day", May 8th, 1980, marking

the complete removal of smallpox, a terrifying disease. It was untreatable but, luckily, it turned out

that vaccination (接种疫苗) provided good protection- -and that mass immunization (免疫) could

wipe out the small- pox virus by blocking its spread.

According to legend, vaccination was invented by Dr Edward Jenner. Jenner showed that

healthy children vaccinated with cowpox, a mild infection of cattle, could not catch smallpox. He

was supposedly inspired by a comment from a local milkmaid, but there is evidence that the idea

came from a medical friend, John Fester, who had experimented with cowpox. Nevertheless,

Jenner deserves credit for introducing vaccination into the medical mainstream with his paper

published in 1798.

In 1966, 160 years after the prediction that vaccination would clean off the disease, the World

Health Organization launched its Smallpox Eradication Programme. This heroic 1-year drive was

directed by two American public health doctors, DA Henderson and Bill Forge. Their hardships

were enormous: One WHO official even promised to eat a tyre if smallpox was removed;

Henderson promised to send him the tyre and wished him good appetite. But Henderson and

Foege's hard work paid off--three years after the last smallpox case was informed (to make sure no

outbreaks had been missed) Target Zero Day was declared.

40 years on, shy should we remember Target Zero Day? First, to celebrate victory of

preventative medicine and freedom from a cruel disease. Then, we must remember the victims of

smallpox. It had previously killed 1 in 12 worldwide. In 1914, a Canadian professor warned

against forgetting smallpox, which was fast disappearing from North America. It went on to kill at

least another 250 million people -- three times more than both world wars combined. Target Zero

Day also reminds us of undefeated infections, including polio, measles, malaria, and of course the

coronavirus Covid-19. Let's recognize Target Zero Day for what it is: a milestone in world history

and a monument to the art of the possible.

28. What inspired Jenner to invent the vaccination?

A. A medical friend. B.A local milkmaid. C. Cattle. D. Children.
