Besides" Shanzhai" electronic products, there are "Shanzhai" movies, "Shanzhai" stars and even a "Shanzhai" Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year"s Eve.
" Shanzhai" has become a culture of its own,symbolizing anything that imitates something famous.
The phenomenon has caused a public debate over whether it is healthy or sick being a copycat.
In southwestern China"s Chongqing Municipality,a "Shanzhai" -version"Bird’s Nest" woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention and the"Shanzhai"-version "Water Cube"is popular with tourists too. Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing.
Xie Xizhang,a literature critic,said that taking the "Shanzhai" Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the "Shanzhai" version appears naturally to attract people.
"In spite of its poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological demands of common people and could be a comfort to their minds," Xie said.
Tian Huiqun,a professor at Beijing Normal University,said that "Shanzhai" culture never copies classic things,only trendy products. In that sense,it"s like a computer virus, multiplying without meaning.
Though controversial,"Shanzhai" culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon.
"To the mainstream culture, the rise of ‘Shanzhai" culture is a challenge as well as a motivation," said Xie.
Tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to choose.

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
小题1:The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _______.
A.provide some key facts about Confucius |
B.attract the readers’ interest in the subject |
C.show great respect for the ancient thinker |
D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations |
A.have a great interest in studying Chinese |
B.take an active part in Chinese competitions |
C.try to get high scores in Chinese exams |
D.fight for a chance to learn Chinese |
A.Forgotten Wisdom in America |
B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language |
C.Chinese Culture for Westerners |
D.Old Thinker with a Big Future |
A.a biography | B.a history paper |
C.a newspaper | D.a philosophy textbook |

What is language for? Some people seem to think it"s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists,the better. That"s wrong. Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information. It"s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can"t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can"t speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn"t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly." But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They"re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can"t make another people"s language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn"t overdo(做过头)it. They should put communication first.
小题1:Language is used to ________.
A. express oneself B. practice grammar rules
B. talk with foreigners only D. learn lists of words
小题2:Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ________.
A.never makes mistakes | B.often makes mistakes |
C.can"t avoid making mistakes | D.always makes mistakes |
A.foreigners speak correct English |
B.foreigners speak incorrect English |
C.foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules |
D.foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English |
A.what they use will become right | B.they are against the law |
C.they should say sorry to others | D.they will become heroes |
A.speak in Chinese way | B.speak by the rules |
C.speak to native speakers | D.not be afraid of making mistakes |
