As I lk up at the hundreds f firewrks in the sky, I hear the bells ringing in a small temple suggesting the cming f the Chinese New Year. Thugh I may nt believe in r understand many f the New Year traditins here, the similarities between the cming f this New Year and the beginning f my new life in China are nt lst n me.
My first few days in China were a culture shck t say the least. Having arrived late in the term, I immediately had t start my beginners’ Chinese classes, alng with the newest class f verseas students. Being surrunded by a language that is nt yur wn is unbelievably frustrating and islating（孤立的）. Due t the picture-based fashin f Chinese writing, it’s nt like yu can have a guess, r wrk it ut thrugh whatever little knwledge yu have ther Latin-riginated languages. If yu dn’t knw what it says, then that’s it.
Hwever, with time passing, I have fund myself prgressing, thugh painfully slwly. The first time I directed a taxi by myself, the driver actually understd where I wanted t g, which was hugely rewarding. Still, it is never lng until my lack f language skill is expsed and I cme crashing back t earth, usually immediately upn leaving the taxi.
Gaining a language is a huge valuable skill. Hwever, it is nt the nly thing I will gain in China. After this year f learning Chinese, I aim t gain my Master’s degree here at UJN. Opprtunities d just pp up rather ccasinally: frm being ffered jbs teaching English, t being asked t appear n game-shws fr Shandng TV. S, fr nw, I am just lking frward t expanding my cultural hrizns and enjying my time here. Everything takes sme time getting used t, but that’s part f the adventure and, mst f all, emplyment. S, much like the Chinese New Year that I was lucky enugh t be part f, I am just lking frward t a fresh start and a new jurney in China.
8. Why culdn’t the authr guess the meaning f the Chinese language?
A. Because f his late arrival.

C. Because f the unique way f Chinese writing.
D. Because f his knwing little f the Latin language.

10. What is the authr’s present expectatin?
A. T settle dwn in China.
B. T becme a hst n TV.
C. T be a teaching assistant.

Marc Pl’s tales inspired Eurpean explrers t search fr sea rutes (路线) frm west t east. Hwever, businessmen and explrers frm the East set sail frm east t west many years befre Clumbus first did.
In ancient times, silk frm China fund its way ver land t India, the Middle East, and Rme, alng what became knwn as the Silk Rad.
