24、Love Seeds

Wang Wei

The red beans grow in southern land;

How many load in spring the trees?

Collect them till full is your hand;

They would recall sweet memories.

（Translated by Xu Yuanchong and simplified by the editor）

①Love is a popular theme (主题）in Chinese poems. What symbols do you think best stand for love? The heart, rose or chocolate? This time we are going to took at a classic Chinese poem, Love Seeds. It was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei who had a different understanding of the symbol of love.

②In the first two lines, the poet expresses his feelings of missing his friend, who lives in the southern part, by describing the growth of red beans in spring. In classic Chinese poems, poets prefer to express feelings in an indirect or symbolic way. When describing the natural environment or showing some symbols, Chinese poets always mean more than what’s described on the surface (表面).

③In Chinese culture, red beans are seen as “love seeds”, which have a strong cultural meaning. Because they are often hard, come in a heart shape and can be stored for a long time, those beans have long been used as a symbol of love and loyalty (忠诚) between loves.

④In the last two lines, the poet wishes his faraway friend to collect as many red beans as possible, as the beans will bring back his friend’s memories of him.

⑤Instead of showing love to others by directly saying “I miss you” or using flowery language, this short poem can make readers feel deep love.

【1】Wang Wei wrote this poem to his ________.

A．wife

B．parents

C．friend

D．children

【2】Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________.

A．what red beans look like

B．how red beans are grown

C．what red beans are used for

D．why red beans are seen as “love seeds”

【3】Wang Wei express feelings by ________ in this poem.

A．using a symbol

B．using the imagination

C．using flowery language

D．coming straight to the point

【4】What does Wang Wei want to show in this poem?

A．He misses someone.

B．He loves spring very much.

C．He loves the beauty of nature.

D．He wishes to go back to his home town.

25、Sadness and happiness are often talked about by people in their spare time. Most people want themselves to be happy forever, but few know how to find happiness. Others say if you own lots of money and success, you will be happy. However, money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. A famous Greek thinker, Aristotle, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” That’s to say, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, which we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favourite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping or help out with some things around the house for an elderly person.

If you do above, you will be happy.

【1】How many suggestions of happiness are mentioned in this passage?

A．One

B．Two

C．Three

D．Four

【2】If you want to enjoy the simple things in life, you can ________.

A．listen to your favourite music

B．read a bad book

C．think about getting into college

D．remember some problems

A．Active persons may live a happier life than inactive persons.

B．Money and success alone do not bring you lasting happiness.

C．If you want to feel happier, you can go shopping for an elderly person.

D．Spending enough time thinking about the future can help you enjoy the present.

【4】Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

D．Spending time with close friends.

【5】What’s the main idea of this passage?

26、Having been translating some of the most valuable ancient Chinese literary works to Spanish(西班牙语) for years, Alicia Relinque has found the key to happiness in her life. When asked by a reporter, “It is the Chinese literature,” said Relinque, a modest and peaceful teacher.

She easily becomes excited when talking about Chinese culture and classic(经典的) literature. Relinque’s translation works include The Peony Pavilion(牡丹亭) by Tang Xianzu in the 16th century --- a romantic play about a love story, and The Orphan of Zhao --- a drama written in the 13th century similar to Hamlet, which are excellent classic works in Chinese culture.

When translating a famous Chinese novel which she liked a lot, she slept only six hours every day in six years because she spent lots of time reading materials about Chinese politics, history and society during that period of time.

After four years’ Chinese study in Peking University, she learnt that the University of Granada would open a department in Asian studies, so she moved to the city in south Spain in 1994 and has stayed there ever since.

She started the Chinese classical literature study in Spain, and therefore made the University of Granada a major place of sinology(汉学) in the country.

Given her excellent work in translating Chinese classic literature, Relinque was granted(授予) a special prize by the Chinese government in 2017.

“Spain should pay more attention to China, and on the other hand, I ask my students to study Chinese history because the country’s today and future lie in history,” said Relinque.

【1】Who is Relinque?

A. A reporter. B. A writer.

C. A teacher. D. A historian.

【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. To know China, Relinque learned Chinese history first.

B. Relinque has translated Hamlet into Spanish and Chinese.

C. Relinque spent 6 hours translating literature work every day.

D. Translating Chinese literary works brings Relinque happiness.

【3】Relinque was granted by the Chinese government because of _____________.

A. Her experiences in Peking University.

B. Her words of supporting Chinese culture.

C. Her translation of Chinese classic literature.

D. Her teaching achievement of sinology in Spain.

27、Three students are choosing a course (课程) at the West Midlands College of Technology.
