【題目】"I love you" might be one of the most important sentences in the English language. It shows the closeness among family members and friends.

In Mandarin, "I love you" translates as “我愛(ài)你”, but the way it's used in China might be a little different, and Chinese are wondering why.

The Global Times reports that two online videos showing children telling their parents "I love you" have been widely spread in China. The first, filmed by an Anhui TV station, shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. The answers are mixed. "Are you drunk?" asked one parent. In another similar video, a father even said— "I am going to a meeting, so cut the crap."

Even the positive attitudes make it clear that the words are expressed rarely. "I am so happy you called to say that. It is the happiest thing that happened to me in 2014," one parent answered.

However, Chinese families hardly use those words. "The parents' answers show that many Chinese are not good at expressing positive feelings," Xia Xueluan, a Sociologist from Peking University, told the Global Times. "They are used to educating children with negative language."

This isn't the first time that China has done some soul-searching about familial love — last year China Daily asked a lot of people if they said 'I love you' to their parents, lovers, and children. "I have never said 'I love you' to my family, and I don't think I will in the future," one 56-year-old told the paper, "Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me."

Still, that doesn't mean that love can't be expressed. In another article, China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face-to-face. Sometimes actions speak louder than words, however — Zhao gave her father, a photo album featuring photographs of them together on every one of her birthdays in June 2012. The pictures were popular online, being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo. Her father was very excited when he heard about it.

試題分析：短文大意：“我愛(ài)你”也許是英語(yǔ)中最重要的句子之一。它顯示了家庭成員和朋友之間的親密關(guān)系。在普通話(huà)中，“I love you”翻譯為“我愛(ài)你”，但它的使用方式在中國(guó)可能有點(diǎn)不同。

【1】D詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)"I love you" translates as “我愛(ài)你”, but the way it's used in China might be a little different, and Chinese are wondering why.的描述可知劃線(xiàn)詞的意思是“普通話(huà)”即漢語(yǔ)，所以選D。

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)三四段中父母的回答可知大多數(shù)中國(guó)學(xué)生很少對(duì)他們的父母表達(dá)他們的積極情緒。所以選C。

【3】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中"I have never said 'I love you' to my family, and I don't think I will in the future," one 56-year-old told the paper, "Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me."可知如果一個(gè)56歲的人對(duì)他的家人大聲說(shuō)“我愛(ài)你”會(huì)感到令其尷尬的，所以選A。

【4】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中Sometimes actions speak louder than words, however — Zhao gave her father, a photo album featuring photographs of them together on every one of her birthdays in June 2012.可知趙給了她的父親一張照片是因?yàn)橼w認(rèn)為有時(shí)候行動(dòng)勝于語(yǔ)言，所以選C。

【5】A標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)該文主要介紹“我愛(ài)你”也許是英語(yǔ)中最重要的句子之一。可知該選A。

【題目】Can you write down a Chinese word being read to you? Sometimes it can be difficult when you find the word is not included in most dictionaries.

Lu Jialei, 14, from Hangzhou Foreign Language School, won the CCTV Chinese Character (漢字) Spelling Contest（競(jìng)賽） on Oct 18th, 2013. About 160 people competed.

“When others paid attention to the plot of a story, she looked at how writers use words and sentences to express themselves,” said Su Yunsheng, Lu’s Chinese teacher. Su is happy to see students like Lu find the beauty of Chinese language.
