London’s Chinese community(社區(qū)) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as “Chinatown”. However London’s Chinese community remained very small for many years： at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.

After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled(定居) in different area—a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.

At first, the new immigrants (移民) found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.

As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.

1.Why did many Chinese immigrants come to London in 1950s?

A. Because it was easy for them to get jobs there.

B. Because Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war.

C. Because many British people enjoyed Chinese food.

D. Because their children could study there and get well-paid jobs.

2.Where is London’s Chinatown now?

A. In the east of London

B. In Limhousse

C. Not far from Leicester Square.

D. Outside the city

3.The word “outskirts” in this passage probably means a place ______.

A. in the village

B. far away from the city

C. in the city center

D. in the outer areas of the city

Now students’ English handwriting（書法）gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!

Using paper with lines(線條) can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely.

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

When you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard while writing, and then it makes your handwriting nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control(控制) your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are asked to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.

The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend lots of time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.

Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. So parents sometimes should leave them alone. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled (支配) by adults (成人), but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge (挑戰(zhàn)). Children are not comfortable（舒適）with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.

Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
