BBC News on TV, radio and online often brings you stories from across the world. Today we can hear “Life in China”. Have you got a story about life in China today? If you do, please put your stories here.
Wu Peng, Anhui
I am a 14-year-old boy from a poor village in Anhui Province. Like many other left-behind children in China, I live with my grandparents now. My parents went to work in Shanghai several years ago. They call me twice a month to ask about my study. I really miss my parents and I hope I can go to school in Shanghai. I think every child needs parents’ love and care.
Cindy, Shenzhen
I like traveling and I have traveled a lot around China. During the trip, I often find that a number of Chinese often break the rules in public. For example, when I traveled in HongKong this year, I saw a kid eating noodles on the underground, which was against the rules. However, the kid’s mother didn’t think he did wrong. Can you believe it? Let’s improve our public manners.
Mike, Shanghai
These days, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say no to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to finish the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we leave the classroom.

A. His parents. B. His grandparents. C. His uncle. D. His teacher.
( )42. Who thought it was not right to eat on the underground?

The bee is one of man's oldest insect friends. You can find them on grasslands, forests and mountains. They give us honey and help with the fertilization* of plants. Most bees are brown, hairy and 8 to 22 millimeters long. Bees are a large family. There are over 25,000 types of bees, such as honey bees, ground bees, digger bees, sweat bees and so on. Among all of them, honey bees are the most common.
Honey bees always live in groups called hives*. Each hive has a queen, drones* and workers. Like a human society, each bee in a hive knows its own job.
The queen is the largest bee. She doesn’t go out to work but lays eggs. Sometimes a queen can lay 3,000 eggs in a day.
Drones do not collect food from flowers. They are the queen’s husbands. When there’s not much food, drones are often kicked out of the hive.
Workers are the smallest and busiest bees. A colony can have 50,000 to 60,000 workers. They collect food for the queen and babies. They guard* the hive and help to keep it cool by fanning their wings. A worker only live for 28 to 35 days.
To collect a pound of honey (about half a kilogram), a bee may have to fly a long way. Sometimes it is about twice around the world. Bees have to visit more than 10,000 flowers to make a pound of honey.
( )44. How many kinds of bee have been found?
A. 3,000. B. 10,000 C. 25,000. D. 50,000.
( )45. __________are the most common.
A. Honey bees B. Ground bees C. Digger bees D. Sweat bees
( )46. The queen is the ________bee.
A. largest B. strongest C. busiest D. smallest
( )47. According to the passage, we know that workers ______.
A. lay lots of eggs in a day B. collect food for themselves
C. live for more than two months D. can use their wings to keep the hive cool
C
I was 45 years old when I decided to learn how to surf. My friends say that life is hard enough. But I guess I like to make things difficult on myself, because I do that all the time, every day and on purpose. That’s because I want to challenge myself.
When I started out in the entertainment* business, I made a list of people who I thought would be good to me. Not people who could give me a job or a deal, but people who could teach me something, challenge my ideas about myself and the world. So I started calling up experts* in all kinds of fields. Some of them were world-famous. Of course, I didn’t know any of these people and none of them knew me.
When I called these people up to ask them for a meeting, they weren’t always friendly. And even when they agreed to give me some of their time, the results weren’t always what one might describe as pleasant. Take, for example, Edward Teller, a famous scientist. It took me a year of begging* to get him to agree to meet with me. And then what happened? He laughed at me. But that was okay. I was hoping to learn something from him – and I did.
Over the last 30 years, I’ve produced more than 50 movies. I’m successful and, in my business, pretty well-known. So why do I ask myself to do this kind of thing? The answer is simple: Make myself better by challenging people and situations – this is the best way that I know to keep growing. Just like a biologist I once met said: “ If you’re not growing, you’re dying.” So maybe I’m not the best surfer in America, but that’s okay. The discomfort, the physical and mental* challenge that I get from this – all the things that too many of us spend our time and energy trying to avoid* – they are just the things that keep me in the game.
( )48. What did the auther decide to learn when he was 45?
A. How to surf. B. How to make a movie.
C. How to be a good scientist. D. How to be a good businessman.
( ) 49. Why did the author keep calling for a meeting with some people?
A. They were willing to give him a job or some help.
B. They might keep him challenging himself and growing.
C. They were all people willing to help those in need.
D. He wanted to make friends with them.
( ) 50. When the author finally met with Edward Teller, ______.
A. he was ready to be laughed at by him
B. he learnt nothing from the famous person
C. he found that it was a mistake to have the meeting
D. he learned something from the unpleasant experience
( ) 51. What do you think of the author?
A. He is kind to others. B. He is talented in all fields.
C. He regards the problems as challenges. D. He is afraid to make mistakes.
D
"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 “我爱你”, 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.
( ) 52. What does the underlined word Mandarin probably mean?
A. French. B. Japanese. C. English. D. Chinese.
( )53. What can we learn from Paragraph Three?
A. Parents in China are too busy.
B. Children in China love their parents.
C. Most Chinese don’t know how to express their feelings.
D. Children in China should often say “I love you” to their parents.
( )54. Why did Zhao give her father a photo album instead of saying "I love you"?
A. The album is more expensive.
B. His father likes the album better.
C. She thinks actions speak louder than words.
D. She hates saying "I love you" to her father.
( )55. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. I Love You B. A Photo Album
C. Two Online Videos D. Family members
