“Young people are the best ambassadors(大使) between countries.” US President Barack Obama said it in a talk with Chinese students from several universities on November 15, 2009, in Shanghai. During his four-day visit to China, he first flew to Shanghai to give a speech to students there.

Obama had a 75-minute meeting with around 500 students. He talked about a number of things, including Internet freedom and the relationship between the US and China. He also answered eight questions.

A student asked about how to develop culture communication between countries. Obama said that different countries should learn from each other to make cultures diverse around the world. He said the US has a very diverse culture and talked about his family as an example, saying it is like “the United Nations”. His father was from Kenya, and his mother was from Kansas, US, while his younger sister is a half-Indonesian married to “a Chinese person from Canada”.

For issues(议题) young people cared about most, such as education and success, Obama also shared his thoughts and advice. He said successful people are not only willing to work very hard, but always trying to improve themselves and think in new ways. He suggested that students do not just think about themselves but also about large issues.

He said, “I think so many of us wish to make money for ourselves and have a nice car and have a nice house. All those things are important, but the people who really make their mark on the world have a bigger ambition(抱负). They say, how can I help feed hungry people? Or, how can I help teach children who don’t have an education? Those are the people, I think, who end up making such a big difference in the world.” 41. From the first sentence of the passage, we can learn that young people ________. A. should learn to be ambassadors B. must stay in touch with Americans

C. play an important role between countries D. are important during the country’s development

43. Obama mentioned his family during the talk because ________. A. most people cared more about his family B. he tried his best to get closer to the students

C. he wanted to make his idea easier to understand D. it was one of the questions which students asked

Nemo, a cute orange-and-white fish, and Shrek, a huge green monster have won the hearts of young people in China and all over the world. The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens.

But there are some cartoon favourites which are older. The cartoons of the

Monkey King has just had its “40th birthday”, Called Havoc in Heaven, it tells a story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rules of the Emperor in heaven. He flies into a peach garden and eats as many peaches as he likes. He makes a mess in each room in heaven. But it is above all the jokes that played by the monkey that people remember. “Havoc in Heaven” has become a common expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess.

Another favourite who has celebrated an important birthday in China is a reporter with red hair and a small white dog. Tintin has travelled to the jungles, the backstreets of Shanghai and even the surface of the moon. Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Herge invented that character in 1929. His books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and about 200 million copies have been sold. In December 1984 the whole series of Tintin began to be published in China. Many Chinese still keep collections of these black-and-white Tintin books. There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Najing and Wuhan.

Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown’s lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also had his “50th birthday” celebrated by China’s Snoopy fans in 2000.

“I didn’t draw the cartoons only for children. Adults who have experienced life understand them better,” said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.
