The moving truck with furniture was parked in front of our Southern California home. My

Bamboo is one of the nature’s most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.

Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow

back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in

24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains(平原). Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to

be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.

Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use

bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more

than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.

In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These

African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.

41. How is bamboo like grass?

A. It is thin and easy to cut. B. It grows everywhere.

C. It grows quickly after it’s cut short. D. It is short and green.

B. a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three days

D. a bridge held by bamboo cables was built thousands of years ago

44. Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo?

A. Because it is cheap. B. Because it is colorful.

C. Because it drills fast. D. Because it is used by Asians.

45. Which of the following is NOT true?

Beer and fried chicken — this seemingly unorthodox combo（怪异的搭配） has been the

most sought after( 最受追捧的 ) late-night snack

recently in Yang Xiaoqian’s dormitory on the campus

(校园) of Central China Normal University.

Thanks to a South Korean drama currently on air, Man

From the Stars, this new mix-and-match junk food

trend has become popular among young audiences,

despite its unhealthy nature.

Indeed, South Korean TV dramas have been a major

force in the South Korean pop-culture wave that has won the hearts of young Chinese audiences. According to iQiyi, a video website that features Man From the Stars, by Feb 15, the number of views for the TV drama hit a whopping 370 million in China, where the drama claimed four out of five hot topics spots on TV and on Sina Weibo on the same day.

Yan Feng, professor of Chinese literature at Fudan University, in an interview with Shanghai

Morning Post, believes the new wave of South Korean drama is trying to attract a wider audience. “It is interesting to explore what elements of those dramas appeal to audiences. It’s obviously more than just pretty faces and cool poses.” says Yan.

Apart from pretty faces, fashion is another highlight of the series. Each time actors from the

series wear a new set of outfits, similar clothes experience a sales spike online, according to Xiao Yi, a Taobao store owner based in Beijing.

The plot is catchy: An alien lands 400 years ago in Korea and falls in love. Fast forward to

present, he meets his first love’s doppelgänger (分身)— a haughty starlet, and inevitably falls in love with her too.

Peng Sanyuan, a Beijing-based screenwriter, says a focus on detail is a key factor in the success of these dramas.
