Norway — Ten Chinese college students arrived at the country’s Arctic（北極的） research base, the Yellow River Station, on Friday.

On Saturday, the students are expected to witness the end of four months of darkness in the area, as the sun makes a rare appearance.

During their four-day stay at the station, the students will meet and learn from some of China’s leading polar researchers. They were welcomed at the station yesterday by its director, He Jianfeng, who is an expert on marine micro-ecosystems.

The students will also visit the German and Norwegian stations and meet researchers there.

As for entertainment, the visitors will get the chance to play ice hockey at the world’s most northerly stadium.

Among the visitors is Zheng Li, a student majoring in telecommunications at Dalian Marinetime University.

“It is so exciting to see how the Chinese researchers work in the world’s most northerly laboratory,” she said.

“This opportunity is precious. Most people will never get the chance to travel so far from home and visit such an amazing place. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing.”

Wu Jinyou, head of the Polar Research Institute of China, and the group’s leader, said, “I hope the students have not only a field trip to the Yellow River station, but are also touched by the devotion and spirit of the Chinese researchers here. I also expect in the future, some of them will choose to devote themselves to polar research and maybe even work with us.”

The students have been in Norway since February 28, and were given Arctic training before moving to the station.

The Arctic expedition is one of the several international cooperation and exchange activities forming the China Program for International Polar Year (2007- 2008). It was launched last March.

Ahead of so-called Singles’ Day on the 11th of this month，2013, online sales have already begun peaking.

The leading e-business platform, tmall.com, has promoted(促銷) its fifty-percent-off discount(折扣) to attract consumers. They are also trying to attract buyers through social media. Vice President of tmall.com Wang Yulei says more than 20 thousand online stores have joined the Double 11 Day sales. But this number has doubled. The final number of how many products going to be on sale has not been known yet. But so far, many more products planned to be put on shelves with discounts.

During last year's Singles’ Day, tmall.com, together with taobao.com, reached a record of 19.1 billion yuan in sales, which considered a milestone in the e-business history of China.

Singles’ Day was first started by Chinese college students in the 1990s as the opposite of Valentine’s Day, a celebration for people without romantic partners. The timing was based on the date: Nov. 11—or double 11—for singles. Single young people would treat each other to dinner or give gifts to show love to someone and end their single status.

But now, the Singles’ Day has been promoted as a kind of grand craze just for the shopping season, thanks to thousands of discounted products being promoted online.

Taobao.com was the first big e-retail platform which used the double 11 idea to promote sales. Taobao.com reached one million yuan worth of sales on that day in 2009, when they first promoted the Singles’ Day idea. In 2010, the sales increased to 936 million yuan. The figure climbed up to 5.3 billion yuan in 2011, putting huge demand on shipping services. The figure doubled in 2012.

E-commerce is considered to be replacing the traditional retailing industry, but the reality is that both sides are learning from each other.

1.How much is a dress that is usually sold at 250 yuan during Singles’ Day at tmall.com?

A. 500.B. 125.C. 100.D. 200.

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Taobao.com reached 2.65 billion yuan in 2012.

B. E-commerce is going to replace traditional business at the end.

C. Double 11 Day was created to get the single status over for young people.

D. More than 20 thousand products will be provided in the Double 11 Day sales.

3.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

A. Singles’ Day promotes online sales.

B. Why Singles’ Day is so popular.

C. How people celebrate Singles’ Day.

D. What Singles’ Day means.

4.Where do you think is the passage taken from?

A. A science textbook.B. A newspaper.

C. A travel journal.D. A health report.

Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.

When I got older and started going to school, we couldn't watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake cakes. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious.

At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing, As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found complete pleasure.

At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself, and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.

My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.

1.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To show her good baking skills.

B. To remember her grandmother.

C. To talk about her happy family life.

D. To describe her childhood memories.

2.While helping her grandmother bake, the author ______.

A. found it interesting and appealing

B. turned out to be a troublemaker
