A big company wanted a clerk, so John went there. In the interview the director asked him a question.
“Who paid for your school?”
“My mother paid for it by washing clothes.”
Hearing this, the director asked John to show his hands. John showed a pair of hands that were perfect. The director said,“When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.”
When John went back, he happily asked his mother to let him clean her hands. However, his tears fell as he cleaned his mother’s hands. It was the first time he noticed that there were too many bruises(傷痕) in his mother’s hands. After finishing the cleaning of his mother’s hands, John quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.
Next morning, John went to the director’s office. The director noticed the tears in John’s eyes and asked,“Please tell me your feeling.”
John said,“Number 1,I know now what appreciation is. I would not be successful if my mother didn’t do these things. Number 2,by helping my mother, now I realize how difficult it is to get something done.”The director said,“This is what I want to be my clerk. You can get the job.”

The label(標(biāo)簽), Made in China, is one that is becoming increasing common in shopping centers all over the world.
In the United States, shoppers at Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest retailer(零售商), have a wide selection of products mostly produced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China. These goods are even widely available in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China.
When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, gifts from the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren't rare any more, and anything 'Made in China' shouldn’t be considered in any case.
"When I decide to visit my family members in China, I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words," a Chinese American said. "When they see the label 'Made in China,' they will think, 'Why do you send me this?' "
The development of China has surprised the world with its growth. As a result, the other countries are beginning to try to reduce Chinese goods with the use of taxes(稅)and import restrictions. However, the development on the Chinese economy still affects the world in many ways.

A.unwelcomeB.expensiveC.popularD.rare
【小題2】What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “brand” in the second paragraph?

【小題3】Why do Chinese Americans usually have a headache if they come back to China?
A.Because their Chinese friends can not speak English.
B.Because their friends will be unhappy if the gifts are made in China.
C.Because they should give their friends rare gifts.
D.Because they should give their friends fashionable gifts.
【小題4】How do other countries try to reduce the Chinese goods in their own countries?
A.By developing the qualities of their own products.
B.By telling their shoppers not to buy Chinese goods.
C.By importing more Chinese goods.
