B Everybody makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life. I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.Before I made that decision, I had been one of the boys who tried very hard to act like an adult. I didn't listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam. At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn't refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard. Mom smiled and asked again, "I asked, ' What do you WANT to do? '" I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent. "Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society is your own decision," she went on. "Your life ought to be decided by yourself, not by anyone else, including me." After saying that, she had tears in her eyes. For the first time in my life, I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become. It took me years to make the biggest decision in my life--I wanted to be a man who makes a difference to the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard. The path to my future became clear to me. I didn't act rebelliously any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.

Tea, as well as silk and porcelain (瓷器), began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export (出口商品) since then. Tea has a history of over 4,000 years and China is the home of tea. In ancient China, tea was used as a kind of medicine, while nowadays people drink tea daily. Longjing, Pu'er, Wulong and Tieguanyin are all famous tea. Thanks to the mild climate and rich soil in Fujian, Zhejiang and Yunnan, tea is produced mainly in these provinces. The word for tea in different languages came from Chinese, like "cha'i" in Russian. And the Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese. Over the past centuries, Chinese people have developed their unique (独特的) tea culture, which includes tea planting, tea leaves picking, tea making, tea drinking and so on. Tea is also popular in some sayings, like "A friendship between gentlemen is like a cup of tea." In dances, songs, poems and novels, tea is often mentioned, too. 56.

Tea and Coffee D Do you love the city life or the life in the countryside? Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think that life in the city is more exciting and better, especially younger people who like new, modern things. Often people like to be fashionable and feel they can find the latest styles only in the city. Other people are interested in technological things and jobs and think they can find them only in a big city. If they want to find a job, especially a good position (地位) in a company, they feel they have to live in a big city. To enjoy these jobs, they have to face many of the disadvantages (缺点) of city life such as crime (犯罪) ,heavy traffic, and pollution. However, it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages (优点) of living in the city. Nowadays, travel is fast and information is easy to get on the Internet, so many people are able to do their work in home offices. Because they have e-mail and personal computers, they don't have to be in big cities to do their business. It is not important where they work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere. So, why should they put up with(忍受) all the disadvantages of the city any longer? Now they can escape (逃离) noisy city life to enjoy life in the countryside and still be able to do good business and successful jobs. 61.
