After work, you go back home, open an app, place your order, and wait for your food to be delivered your home. This is how lots of young people eat in China these days. According to the latest report from the China Internet Network Information Center, 421 million Chinese people use online food delivery services. That’s just half of the total number of Internet users in China.

Which group of people is ordering food online the most? For sure, it is mainly young people. A recent report by Meituan, a food delivery service, showed that 86.3% of the service’s users are between 20 and 34 years old. These people are the main force driving the development of the food delivery industry.

Small families depend largely on food delivery services. Chinese families have changed in size over the past ten years. In 2002, only 7.7% of families have only one person. But this number increased to 15.6% in 2017. Two-person families rose from 18.4% in 2002 to 27.2% in 2017. For small families, cooking always takes a lot of time and energy, so ordering food online has become more popular.

The improvement of China’s food delivery services has also made more customers interested. According to Meituan’s report, the average time it takes to make a food delivery dropped from 38 minutes in 2016 to 28 minutes in 2022. Many delivery apps are also offering more services, delivering products such as fruit, vegetables, medicine and even flowers. As their services continue to improve, it’s certain that the food delivery industry will keep growing some day.

D．Most Internet users like to order food on Meituan.

41．Why has ordering food online become more popular?

—Preface

82-year-old Yang Benfen, known as a granny writer “by the stove”, published her third book in February. Yang started writing in her 60s and published her first book Qiuyuan at 80. She spent most of her time writing in the kitchen and became a bestselling author.

Being asked about what makes her keep writing, she explained, “I realized that if those stories were not written down, all traces (痕迹) of my mother would be completely wiped out from the world sooner or later like dust on a table blown away by wind,” she said. Thus, she started her writing journey while making meals for her family members.

She finished her first hand-written copy of book with more than 100,000 words in 2007. “It seems like a reunion (团聚) with many people who have left me in my memory.” Yang described her writing process.

Later, Yang’s daughter posted this copy of book online as a serial. Bad words and good words poured in. Those who disliked it said the story of a “nobody” is unworthy of being recorded, but some readers’ support encouraged the granny writer to hold out for her dream. Yet the online serialized (连载的) novel did not get the attention of any publishers until more than ten years later. “She writes in gentle and simple words but describes the characters’ struggles with their destiny (命运). I was shocked that it was written by a green hand,” said publisher Tu Zhigang. Her first work Qiyuan was published in June 2020 and proved a big success. More than 90,000 copies have been sold so far.

As for now, Granny Yang has no plans to stop. Her fourth book is on the way and she has learned how to use a computer. “I can write anytime, anywhere, and it is more convenient to improve my writing.” “In old age, I am like a train on a new journey. An unimaginable force drives me forward. I know that the story under my pen is just a drop of water, and it will finally flow into the long river of human history.” Yang said.

43．Granny Yang is called the writer “by the stove” because ________.

A．she enjoys reading with the stove on B．she often gets ideas from the stove

C．she makes time to write while cooking D．this title sounds attractive to public

44．What does Yang think drives her to write?

A．Her excellent writing skills. B．Her great achievements online.

C．Her daughter’s encouragement. D．Her wish to record mother’s life.

45．What is Yang’s next plan according to the last paragraph?

A．To finish her fourth work during a train trip.

B．To stop writing and enjoy her family reunions.

C．To improve writing with the help of computers.

D．To try to write books about human history with pens.

46．What is the writers opinion by writing the passage?

A．People usually succeed quite late during lives.

B．Everyone should hold one dreams and be hopeful.

C．Everyone should record lives in words to remember.

D．Works like Qiuyuan will disappear into human history.

D

Remember the Jade Rabbit living on the moon which is the pet of Chang’e? Together with the beginning of 2023, the New Year of the Rabbit has started! The Jade Rabbit must bring luckiness to us. Now let’s talk about this lovely animal in the eyes of different cultures.

Rabbits are quiet but agile, which means rabbits can move quickly and easily. There is a view of rabbits in Chinese culture as being smart and gentle. This is shown by the phrase “dongrutuotu”, a Chinese idiom praising people who are smart and agile like a rabbit.

In ancient China, it was common sense that the more children you had, the luckier and happier you would be. This belief made the rabbit a popular sign of good luck, since rabbits are full of energy and have more babies in nature.

Similarly in the West, rabbits are well-known to be able to reproduce and thrive in difficult and surprising conditions(1). They are also considered to be super lucky, with several traditions explain how to gain the animal’s good luck for yourself.

A stuffed (毛绒的) rabbit’s foot is supposed to bring good luck. This is a good luck charm (护身符) that can be found all over the world, from the people of Europe to the traditional cultures of North America. The first place where a hunter (猎人) catches a rabbit is also a sign of good luck. Another tradition for good luck found in North America and the UK is to say the word “rabbit” on the first morning of every month.

So, with it now being the lucky animal’s turn on the Chinese zodiac (生肖), maybe the Year of the Rabbit can bring you some wonderful progress!

47．What’s the relationship (关系) between Chang’e and Jade Rabbit?

A．Husband and wife. B．Mother and son.

C．Boyfriend and girlfriend. D．Owner and pet.

48．Why does the writer use “reproduce and thrive” in sentence (1) instead of “have more babies”?

A．To avoid the repetition.  B．To be more humorous.

C．To show the difference.  D．To highlight the theme.

49．According to Paragraph 5, people can gain fortune by ________ in the West.

A．keeping a Chinese jade rabbit as a pet

B．holding a rabbit catching race every month

C．saying the word “rabbit” every morning

D．using a key ring with a stuffed rabbit’s foot

50．We can conclude the paragraphs of the whole text like this:

A． B． C．  D．
