BBC News on TV, radio and online often brings you stories from across the world. Today we can hear “Life in China”. Have you got a story about life in China today? If you do, please put your stories here.
Wu Peng, Anhui  | I am a 14-year-old boy from a poor village in Anhui Province. Like many other left-behind children in China, I live with my grandparents now. My parents went to work in Shanghai several years ago. They call me twice a month to ask about my study. I really miss my parents and I hope I can go to school in Shanghai. I think every child needs parents’ love and care. |
Cindy, Shenzhen | I like traveling and I have traveled a lot around China. During the trip, I often find that a number of Chinese often break the rules in public. For example, when I traveled in Hong Kong this year, I saw a kid eating noodles on the underground, which was against the rules. However, the kid’s mother didn’t think she did wrong. Can you believe it? Let’s improve our public manners. |
Mike, Shanghai  | These days, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say no to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to finish the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we leave the classroom. |
| A．By writing letters. | B．On the telephone. |
| C．On the Internet. | D．By sending text messages. |

Wu Juping is just a saleswoman. However, on July 2, 2011, she bravely caught a falling child and has been praised as the most beautiful mother in China. The child fell from the 10th floor of a building into Wu’s arms.
The child is two years old, who named Niu Niu. Niu Niu climbed up to the window looking for her grandma. When a neighbor living one floor saw the little girl falling, he held out a ladder(梯子) to catch her. The ladder, however, was too short to reach the girl. At this dangerous moment, Wu, who was just walking near the building, rushed to the spot and caught her successfully before she hit the ground.
The girl fell into coma(昏迷), and Wu was also injured seriously in her left arm. On July8, Niu Niu, who was able to move her fingers, feet and eyes, was out of dangerous condition and Wu’s arm is recovering well now.

In modern society, people use money every day. It seems that it is very important in our life. That’s because without money you can’t buy any goods(商品) you want. But I think few people know the history of money.
Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants. As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange. However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc.
During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money. They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time. Later, countries began to make their own coins.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s. However, European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s.
Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use coins or paper money. Often, people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.
【小題1】 People used ________ as a means of exchange before the 7th century BC.
A. paper money B. card
C. large stone D. coins
【小題2】From the passage, we know that European countries used paper money in the ________.
| A．11th century | B．12th century |
| C．16th century | D．17th century |
| A．Marco Polo was from Canada. |
| B．Chinese used paper money earlier than Italy. |
| C．Today people often prefer to pay for things by salt. |
| D．Carrying around much “real” money is easier and safer than Paying with a card. |

A Nobel Prize(諾貝爾獎) is considered by most people one of the highest international honors a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede(瑞典人) called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life. When he died at the age of 63, he left a fund(資金) of $9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine and literature(文學), and for world peace.
The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements.
Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money-about $40,000.
Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given.
【小題1】When was Alfred Nobel born?
| A．In 1938. | B．In 1833. | C．In 1896. | D．In 1906. |
