Chinese buyers used to like 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(商業(yè)內(nèi)幕) during a recent interview on CCTV9.

But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.

"When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, 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（瑞士信貸）published(發(fā)表) in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a "home brand bias（偏愛）” .

More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance（設(shè)備） 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%.

“Without music, life would be a mistake, ” famous German philosopher(哲學(xué)家) Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets.

For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.

However, learning music is beneficial in many ways.

When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.

1.In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them” refer to?

A.Public schools. B.Fired teachers.

C.Parents in Chicago. D.Students in Chicago.

2.What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A.Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.

B.Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.

C.Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.

D.Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.

3.How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?

A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.

4.What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?

A.Music is as simple as it looks. B.Music is a big part of our lives.

C.Music classes should be cut in some schools. D.Music isn't a very important life skill for us.

Since the NCP (新冠肺炎) outbreak began in December, Japan has given away a lot of medical supplies (物資) to China. On the boxes of these supplies, poems are often written. Taken from ancient Chinese and Japanese poems, these powerful and inspiring lines show heartfelt wishes for Chinese people. And they let people know that ancient stars still shine in modern times. Let’s take a look at some of them.

山川異域，風(fēng)月同天。

Lands apart, sky shared.

This line comes from a Buddhist hymn (佛詩) by the Japanese Prince Nagaya (長屋親王). This hymn reminds us of the cultural exchanges between both countries in history. At that time, the prince wrote the hymn as an invitation for Chinese Buddhist monks(僧侶) to visit Japan. Inspired by the hymn, Jianzhen, a well-known monk of the Tang Dynasty (618－907), started his travel to Japan soon after.

豈曰無衣？與子同裳。

Fear not the want of armor(盔甲), for mine is also yours to wear.

This line is from a battle song of the Qin state, Wuyi (《無衣》), in the Book of Songs (《詩經(jīng)》). The song refers to (指的是) soldiers sharing their armor, encouraging each other to win the war. The Chinese phrase “同裳” has the same meaning as “同袍” and “袍澤” which also come from this song. They all mean those who have fought together in armies.

青山一道同云雨，明月何曾是兩鄉(xiāng)。

Though separated by a mountain, we’ll share the same clouds and rain/The bright moon belongs not to a single town.

This sentence is from Tang poet Wang Changling’s Seeing Off Imperial Censor Chai (《送柴侍御》). This poem was written after the poet was demoted (貶官) and sent to a faraway place. He wanted to show that even though he had to separate with his friend, their friendship would continue.

1.“Lands apart, sky shared” is written by ________.

A.Prince Nagaya B.Jianzhen C.Wang Changling D.a Chinese monk

2.In the poems, people in different places can share the same things EXCEPT ________.

A.clothes B.the sky C.clouds and rain D.the bright moon
