【推荐2】If you expect to work in the future in the travel industry, you should begin learning Chinese.

That’s because Chinese people spent nearly$258 billion in total on international travel last year. That’s more than twice the combined amount spent on international travel by people from the United States and Germany, the next two biggest-spending nations. The Chinese are relative(相对的)newcomers when it comes to traveling beyond their nation’s borders and only a small percentage of them travel outside of China each year. Given the size of that nation’s population. even that small percentage represents well over 100 million Chinese travelers to foreign destinations.

Yet Chinese citizens flew, on average, just 65 miles last year versus(与……相对)the 227 miles flown on average by US residents(居民), the 285 miles flown on average by Germans, the 271 miles flown on average by those from the United Kingdom, and the 632 miles flown by the average Canadian last year.

China’s high total spending on international travel and its low average number of miles flown on international travel may show that while only a small percentage of China’s residents actually travel outside their homeland, and those who do spend a lot of money don’t go that far. But there are reasons for China’s low average of miles travel on international trips. A small percentage of Chinese now have enough money to travel internationally, though the number of people who do travel outside of China is growing fast every year. Besides, a large percentage of Chinese people traveling abroad stay close to home.

However, as more and more Chinese gain the financial ability to travel internationally and as Chinese become more and more interested in visiting destinations farther and farther away from home, their spending on international travel and the average distances flown will both rise rapidly.

1. Why does the author suggest learning Chinese for the future work in travel industry?

A．Being good at Chinese is a must for future work.

B．Chinese is most commonly used in travel industry.

C．Travel industry requires employees to learn Chinese.

D．China is a big-spending nation in international travel

2. What can we infer from paragraph 3?

A．People from different countries have different preferred destinations.

B．China has a relatively low average number of miles flown on travel.

C．Chinese people are more willing to travel abroad compared with Canadians.

D．People going on a journey around the world hate taking international planes.

3. What are many Chinese people who travel abroad likely to do?

A．Try to save their money.	B．Improve their ability to travel.
C．Choose to stay close to home.	D．Travel in America and Germany.

4. What does the last paragraph say about the future of Chinese people’s traveling abroad?

A．It’s bright.	B．It’s confusing.
C．It’s hopeless.	D．It’s unclear.

【推荐2】Four famous classic Italian writers

When speaking of Italian literature, many people come up with Dante. But there are many other famous Italian authors. Below are four recommended writers and their masterpieces.

Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1533)

Ariosto is best known for his epic (史诗般的) poem Orlando Furioso, which was published in 1977. As a poet always with new ideas, Ariosto invented the way of “singing the poem to the audience”. The poem presents a rich variety of characters, which has been an encouragement for many paintings and musical works.

Italo Calvino (1923-1985)

Calvino was the author of If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler published in 1979. The novel differs from others for its unique description of a frame story - a unifying story within which several tales are related. It has encouraged musicians like Sting to create their works. At the time of his death in 1985, Calvino was one of the world’s most translated Italian writers.

Umberto Eco (1932-2016)

Eco wrote The Name of the Rose, a historical murder mystery (神秘) novel published in 1980. In the story, he skilfully applied the use of signs and symbols to it. A number of his books deal with the meaning and understanding of communication.

Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873)

Manzoni is most famous for his novel The Betrothed published in 1827. The novel was regarded to be connected with Risorgimento, the Italian unification movement(统一运动) in the 19th century. Probably we can say, without this great novelist and this masterpiece of world literature, Italy wouldn’t be Italy.
