Almost all the kids like bubble gum. It's fun to eat bubble gum. Kids often get together to see who gets the biggest bubble.

I could get two for one yuan.
l Sugar Figure(糖人)
You could always find people making sugar figures around the school in the old days. First, the maker would take a little maltose(麦芽糖) with a small spoon, using his hands to make animals, such as the Monkey King, the White Dragon, and so on. It was not expensive, only one yuan for one. If one child bought a sugar figure, many other children would come around him.
l Baby Face Ice­Cream
We like to call it snowman ice­cream better. It tasted very delicious. It was quite expensive. I remember the price was two yuan for each piece. That was not easy for me to buy one piece those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would stay for a few days.
l Malt Sugar Candy
Malt Sugar Candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China, and people make it during the days just before the Spring Festival. It's delicious but cheap, and you could get five pieces for one yuan. My friends and I would get together to enjoy Tangguar. What a happy time!

Chinese has a history of thousands of years. But Pinyin doesn't. It tells people how to pronounce(发音) Chinese words. This year, Pinyin turns 62 years old.
In 1958, Chinese linguist(语言学家) Zhou Youguang and his team made Pinyin. Before that, Chinese people used many other ways to show how to pronounce Chinese words. But these ways are not as easy to use as Pinyin. Because of Pinyin, more people learn how to read.
Pinyin is a big part of our daily life. We learn to speak Putonghua with the help of Pinyin. We write Chinese characters on computers by using Pinyin.
Pinyin is young. But it is now very popular outside China. It is becoming a bridge between China and the world. Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by learning Pinyin. You might say “nihao” to mean “hello” to a foreign friend.
People are using Pinyin more often than before. For example, fewer foreigners use “dumplings”. They like to use “jiaozi”. And “mantou” is for “steamed-bun”. The Oxford English Dictionary(《牛津英语词典》) has more than 100 Chinese words in Pinyin, such as zhongguomeng for “Chinese dream”, and wanggou for “online shopping”.
( )36.Chinese people began to use Pinyin _____________________.
A. hundreds of years ago B. thousands of years ago
C. 62 years ago D. a few years ago
( )37.Paragraph 3 tells us _____________________.
A. why people started using Pinyin B. how people started using Pinyin
C. what people use Pinyin for D. what will happen to Pinyin
( )38.The Oxford English Dictionary now _____________________.
A. helps foreigners learn Pinyin B. is more popular in China
C. has more Chinese words than before D. has more Pinyin than before
