This is really an interesting city with a very colorful history. There is some European influence on the city, and some of the old buildings in Harbin are in Russian style. Since I came to China, I’ve been learning a lot about my family history. Although I’m Australian, my family is Jewish. So it was very interesting for me to learn that a lot of Jews came to live in Harbin many years ago. My parents were so surprised when I told them about this in China. In fact, the first Jews probably came to Kaifeng more than a thousand years ago, and were welcomed by the Song Emperor. When I lived in Australia, I studied history at school but we usually studied Australian or Western history. However, when I heard that I was going to work in China, I started studying Chinese history. I’ve been studying it for over two years now. My friends in Australia said that Chinese history was very hard to understand, but I don’t really agree. I think if you study hard, you’ll be able to understand any culture. For a foreigner like me, the more I learn about Chinese history, the more I enjoy living in China. 12．What does Leo do? （不超过10词） 13．Why were Leo’s parents surprised? （不超过15词） 14．What does Leo think of studying Chinese history? （不超过10词） Passage5（安徽省马鞍山市和县2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末 ） 阅读下面文章，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 Do you like playing basketball?
