Cassandra Naud was born with a brown birthmark(胎记) under her right eye. It covers a large part of her face. Her parents were given a chance to remove the birthmark right after her birth. But they were worried that it might be dangerous for her, so they refused it.

Cassandra experienced a hard childhood in primary school. Her schoolmates often laughed at her. She was heartbroken with what they said and had to cry in corners. She was even afraid of how she would be treated when she went to high school.

At the age of 13 she took an important decision to have her birthmark removed. Her parents were surprised at that but they respected her decision. They immediately invited a great doctor to operate on her. But the doctor said that she might face the risk of being left with a lazy eye(弱视). So she finally decided to keep her birthmark.

Cassandra dreamed of being an excellent dancer. She realised that the birthmark would make her more memorable and popular among the dancers. From then on, she began to love her birthmark, instead of trying to hide it, and she also learnt to face the world with bright smiles.

Chinese cultures have passed on for thousands of years, and goldfish have been recorded for nearly two thousand years. A report from the Jin Dynasty described “red fish” swimming in the Red River. Goldfish were widely mentioned in the Tang Dynasty poems. They were collected in the pond(池塘) by rich people at that time.

During the Song Dynasty, a ruler built a pond in Hangzhou to raise goldfish. It marked the time when people began to raise them. However, owning yellow goldfish was not allowed because that color was thought to be a sign of the king. Common people were forced to raise orange ones, which is probably why that color is more common today.

Until the invention of the goldfish bowl in the Ming Dynasty, goldfish were always seen to live outdoors in ponds. The goldfish bowl allowed more people to keep goldfish and interested people in raising more beautiful kinds such as the “lion head” that could not live outdoors. Goldfish traveled to Japan in 1502, Europe in 1611, and the United States in the early 1,800s

Chinese people have expressed good wishes through images(形象) of animals, plants and other objects. Chinese has many homophones, and these homophones connect images of objects with special good wishes that sound the same. The Chinese word for “fish” is a homophone of the word for “more”, so fish express wishes for “owning more”. The goldfish, however, also has the word for “gold”, so goldfish images express wishes for “owning more wealth”.

Goldfish competitions, which began in Beijing during the Ming Dynasty, continue in China. Even in Hong Kong, there is a busy goldfish market to meet the modern requirement of the fish of wealth and good wishes.

31．In which dynasty did people widely record goldfish?

A．Jin. B．Tang. C．Song. D．Ming.

32．What is the probable reason why we see more orange goldfish today?

A．Because the ruler liked raising orange goldfish.

B．Because people hated to raise the other goldfish.

C．Because orange was thought to be a sign of the king.

D．Because people were forced to raise orange goldfish.

33．What can we know from the passage?

A．People kept goldfish indoors in the Jin Dynasty.

B．People raised yellow goldfish widely in the Song Dynasty.

C．People had more beautiful kinds of goldfish in the Ming Dynasty.

D．People held goldfish competitions in Beijing in the Tang Dynasty.

34．The underlined word “homophones” in this passage means words that ________.

A．have similar pronunciation and spellings

B．share the same meanings with other words

C．sound different and have different meanings

D．sound the same but have different meanings

35．Which can be the best title for the passage?

A．Fish of Wealth and Good Wishes B．The Ways of Raising Goldfish

C．Fish Widely Recorded in Poems D．The Present Situation of Goldfish

D
