Top tips for Chinese New Year

Follow these tips for celebrating Chinese New Year in London:

Wrap up warm: celebrations take place in February when the weather can be cold.

Learn Chinese New Year greetings: Say “Xin Nian Kuai Le” (Happy New Year in Mandarin) or “San Nin Faai Lok” (in Cantonese)

Dress in red: Red is the key colour of Chinese New Year. You can dress up with a red scarf, jumper or shoes — this will bring good luck for the coming year.

Enjoy special Chinese New Year food: order a whole chicken or try dumplings at top restaurants in Chinatown.

Buy something red: To bring luck to your year, Chinese tradition dictates that you should buy something red for yourself or your house.

Ensure good luck: In Chinese culture, to “climb high and gaze far” on New Year’s Day or the following day brings good luck in business, career, study and fortune. Take a trip on the Emirates Air Line cable car, head up to The View from The Shard or see the sights from the London Eye.

By 2019, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) had founded for 70 years. Over the past decades, many people had made great contributions to the country’s development. On Sept 17, Chinese President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree (主席令) to award（授予） national medals and honorary titles to forty-two of these contributors, including both Chinese citizens and foreigners. Eight people received the Medal of the Republic, six foreigners received the Friendship Medals, and 28 people received the National Honorary Titles（国家荣誉称号）.

Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms?

“I like your smile，but dislike you put your shoes on my face. ” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass. ” Or “people mountain, people sea”, which means “very crowded”.

These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up”, you will be considered “out man”. Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination by the English word smile and silence.

Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it’s actually quite attractive to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture. ”

However，Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic” in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive(全面的) plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic(风景优美的) spots. And they are a kind of barrier(障碍) for communication between Chinese and people from other countries,” a Beijinger said.

Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth，and now it’s Chinese’s turn.

8. What can we call Chinglish？

A. English words which get new Chinese meanings.

B. The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.  

C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.

D. The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.

9. What does “smilence” most probably mean？

A. Saying nothing but to smile.  B. Smiling without being noticed 

C. Laughing at somebody.   D. Knowing little about speech.

10. What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish？

A. It can show the humour of Chinese.  B. It will attract more foreign tourists.  

C. It helps him to learn Chinese well.  D. It seems part of Chinese culture.

11. Why Chinglish is likely to become a “cultural relic” in Beijing？

A. Because it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English.

B. Because Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English.  

C. Because it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners.

D. Because Beijing is determined to get rid of(去除) Chinglish signs.

D

If it had not been for Fan Jinshi and her team, the world cultural heritage at Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes in a remote Chinese desert might have long been destroyed by sand, weather or humans.

Born and raised in Shanghai, Fan has spent half a century fighting an uphill battle to preserve the ancient Buddhist wall painting at Dunhuang, in Northwest China’s Gansu Province. The 1651-year-old Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes are a huge collection of Buddhist art—more than 2,000 buddha figures and 45,000 square meters of paintings spread among 735 caves. It is China’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Archaeologist Fan was sent to Dunhuang after graduation from Peking University in 1963. While in Dunhuang, a remote village in the desert then, Fan lived in an abandoned(废弃的) temple. At first, she did not even dare to go out to the toilet at night. To protect the treasures from sand and dampness, Fan and other workers put doors on the caves, planted trees and started monitoring temperature and humidity(湿度) in the caves. They also controlled the number of visitors.

In the late 1990s, with tourism booming(增长) nationwide since national holidays were extended, the local government planned to go public with Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, but found Fan firmly in their way. “The heritage would have been destroyed if it had been listed,” she said.

Dunhuang Academy has now photographed and cataloged(编入目录) online all the sculptures and paintings. “Despite our efforts to minimize damage, we can’t completely stop them from being eroded(侵蚀). But the digital database will last. ”

Fan was grateful when her husband joined her in Dunhuang in 1986 after 19 years of separation. Her two sons grew up in Shanghai with their aunt. “I have not been a good mother or wife. With regard to my family, I’m full of guilt,” she said. Fan, 79, retired two years ago as the director of Dunhuang Academy but continues her efforts as a national political adviser.

12. Which of the following measures didn’t Fan Jinshi take to protect Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes?

A．Opening Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes to the general public .

B．Planting trees and stopping the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes being eroded.

C．Picturing and classifying all the sculptures and paintings online.

D．Putting doors on the caves and monitoring temperature and humidity.

13. When was Fan separated from her husband?

A．In 1963. B．In 1967.

C．In 1986. D．In the late 1990s.

14. The phrase “in their way” in Paragraph 4 means ________.

A．Go to a place. B．Be in favor of something.

C．Reject something. D．Give in to something.

15. What kind of person do you think Fan is?

A．Careful and easy-going. B．kind and clever.

C．Humorous and sweet-tempered. D．Devoted and persistent.

Certainly, there are many non-verbal cues that have completely different meanings in different cultures. One of the most important means of non-verbal communication in any culture is eye contact.

Eye Contact in Western Europe

On the one hand, the European customs of eye contact—especially in such countries as Spain, France and Germany—are similar to those in the United States. It is considered proper and polite to keep almost continuous eye contact with another person. ____16____

On the other hand, Europeans often avoid eye contact in crowded public situations—such as while walking through a busy downtown or riding public transportation. ___17___ This may happen when he is interested in them and try to express his interest by making eye contact. Therefore, it is important for visitors to understand the full meanings of what they may be suggesting by returning the eye contact given by someone else.

Eye Contact in the Middle East

____18___ But they do have similarities in their rules for the proper eye culture. Eye contact is much less common and considered less proper in many of these cultures than it is considered in the United States. ____19___ These rules are connected to religious laws. Only a short moment of eye contact would be permitted between a man and a woman, if at all.

As you can see, it is important to know what eye contact communicates before you visit a new culture. ____20____ Learn how to use eye contact and other body language wisely so that you are regarded as polite, and so that you can better connect with people in a culture that is foreign to you!

A．Be careful not to make eye contact with women.

B．And this is especially true in business conversations.

C．Such a returning eye contact will be considered impolite.

D．All Middle Eastern cultures cannot be grouped into one class.

E．Before you travel, you’d better check out about the country you plan to visit.

F．Yet, in a country like France, a stranger may feel quite free to look at others.

G．What’s more, Middle Eastern cultures have strict rules regarding eye contact between the sexes.
