Each time Chinese New Year is approaching, preparations are underway around the

world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.

London

Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for

the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is perfectly formed with little

firework . Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics（杂

技）, martial arts（武术）,dance and opera nearby.

San Francisco

San Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was

the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th

century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure,

attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.

Bangkok

With an about100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets

offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good

time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers,

whose shops line the road.

Mauritius

Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural

diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops

and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting

sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the

traditional lion dances through the streets.

When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and

told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not to spend it. This would mean that she always

felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.

When I was married in 1970, my husband ,who had heard this story, obtained a 1937

crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my

needs.

A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的）circumstances and

partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her

food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She

has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.

Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend

to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another's care and

love , had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollar-bill.

I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It

turned out that she didn't have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she

kept her coins. She immediately felt better—“I feel rich, and thank you for being a good

friend,” she said, and we were both a bit teary.

I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I’d never used, and thought, “I’ll

give that to my friend. ” I opened it, and inside, found $ 100.

4．What did the 1937 crown coin from the author’s father mean to her mother?

A．His concern for her. B．His pity and protection for her.

C．His care and love for her. D．His pride and respect for her.

5．Where did the author’s friend keep the $ 100 dollar-bill?

A．In the back of her wallet. B．In a little pencil case.

C．In the pocket of her raincoat. D．In the layer of her suitcase.

6．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The author became rich all of a sudden.

B．The author's friend would receive a wallet as a gift.

C．The author's friend was not touched by her story.

D．The author felt uncomfortable when receiving the bill.

7．What can be the best title for the text?

A．A crown coin B．The help to a friend

C．A hard life D．A gift from my father

London Underground

The world’s first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time, the government was

looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city

were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through.

The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of

London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they

could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city.

This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London.

From these problems，the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born.

The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays, but the fast

track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast

underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30,000 people got on the

subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was

moving was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However ，the

smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰), as well as

chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to

breathe. Even with its problems, riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million

riders in its first year.

8.What led the British government to build the London Underground？

A. Traffic jams and pollution. B. Population and pollution.

C. Overcrowding and traffic jams. D. The poverty and subway problems.

9.How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem？

A. It made the tunnels larger. B. It put fans in the tunnels.

C. It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels.

D. It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train.

10. Which of the following is TRUE？

A. To relocate the workers’ homes outside London, the government built the subway.

B. There were so many problems and delays that in 18th century the first subway opened.

C. The subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic.

D. There were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened.
