A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend — a bear. The child went missing on January 22 while playing with friends near his grandmother's house in North Carolina. When the other children returned but Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police. Police formed a search team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and—no Casey. Then on January 24, someone called the police saying he heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. He was in good health. Casey told the rescuers he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his "friend". The police officer Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies.

Chinese consumers' crazy appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable,with just 2 percent of the Chinese population responsible for one-third of the world's luxury items. As China's economic miracle develops,the market opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are increasing.Luxury consumption in China now extends ways beyond well-known car,clothing and jewelry brands.For example,the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing in the world,even outstripping that of the United States, with a market share of 25 percent.This trend appears to continue,with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China, compared with only 2 to3 percent in the US.But more importantly,China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items. China's high-quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods.In 2013,China became the largest market for red wine in the world,even overtaking France,with l.86 billion bottles consumed in China last year.Over the past five years,China's red wine consumption has grown 136 percent. According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing,public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to "gain face" and publicly display social climbing through material possessions.On the other hand,it is "self-reward" that lies behind consumer motivation in this area.Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success.But this has little to do with "gaining face" and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment. Finally,the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally. 1.What do you think the author would most probably be? A.A news reporter. B.An accountant. C.A professor. D.A conductor. 2.The underlined word "outstripping" in Paragraph 2 probably means" ". A.falling far behind of B.going out of C.going far ahead of D.keeping pace with 3.What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3? A.China's luxury jet market growth is only 2% to 3%. B.France was once the largest market for red wine in the world before 2013. C.The luxury jet market in the US shares 25%of the jet consumption in the world. D.China's red wine consumption has increased to 1.86 billion bottles since 2013. 4.What can be the best title for the passage? A.Future Private Luxury Consumption in China B.Chinese Appetite for Luxury Goods and Services C.The Potential Luxury Jet Market in China D.The Maturity of the Chinese Consumers

To shoot a scene of people eating food, you need two different perspectives (角度). To record a bus journey to school, you need three quick cuts. To complete this short, morning rush-hour video blog – or “vlog” – you need four pieces of music. 1. With more than 90 million vlogs available online, and 2,000 posted every hour on the YouTube video-sharing site, CBS News says they are mainstream with people born after 1995. 2. More young Chinese people have become inspired to grab a camera and recount the details of their day on Sina Weibo, Bilibili or WeChat Moments. “The most important thing about vlogging is to tell a good story. Other visual effects are auxiliary (辅助的),” wrote US vlogger Casey Neista, who has almost 10 million subscribers on YouTube. Chinese vlogger Wang Xiaoguang is an example of a good storyteller. In one of his popular vlog posts, Wang tells the story of traveling to Japan. While there, he took a ride in the wrong direction and got lost. Worse, he forgot to bring a phone charger. 3. Another key aspect of vlogs is that the content is based on everyday life, according to Ouyang Nana, 18, a young Chinese musician. She documents her life at Berklee College of Music. Ordinary as vlogs are, as many as 15 million fans share her wows and woes (喜怒哀乐) on a daily basis. 4. Peng Yixuan, a news reporter with China Daily, recorded her first experience attending and reporting on the two sessions in March of this year. With a relaxed, chatty and personal approach, she presented the conferences, “bringing more warmth” to the grand political event, according to People’s Daily. There are popular vlogs for beauty, gaming, fashion, food and travel. Vloggers are learning new ways to experience the thrill of them. 5. Then what are you waiting for? Grab a camera! A.They come from all walks of life. B.However, he didn’t take the number of his hotel. C.Vlogging has taken China by storm over the past year. D.Some other popular vloggers choose to show their careers. E.Vlogs pave the way for future advertising and sales campaigns. F.Luckily he was able to borrow money from a stranger and escape trouble. G.Vloggers have these techniques in mind as they film their daily activities.
