Playing for Friendship

Ping-pong, or table tennis, might seem like an ordinary game to play with friends or family. But it holds a special place in China-US relations, as it has helped both countries get along for the last 50 years. This has been called “ping-pong diplomacy ( 乒乓外交 )”.

Judy Hoarfrost was just 15 years old when she was sent from the US to China as part of a nine-member table tennis team. The year was 1971, and for the past 20 years, relations between China and the US had been unfriendly.

But as the team toured around China, things started warming up. Hoarfrost even got to meet then-Premier Zhou Enlai. “The most unforgettable moment was Zhou shaking hands with me and looking into my eyes,” Hoarfrost told China Daily. “You have opened a new page in China-US relationships.” Zhou told the team.

In the years that followed the historic visit, ties between the two countries started to blossom. US president Richard Nixon would make a landmark ( 里程碑 ) visit to China in 1972, which also saw Chinese table tennis players make their own visit to the US, according to China Daily. Diplomatic relations between the US and China were fully established ( 建立 ) in 1979.

Players from both countries believed strongly in the idea of “friendship first, competition second”. To this day, many of them remain friends. Hoarfrost thinks we should remember ping-pong diplomacy in order “to understand the importance of people to people exchanges in establishing bonds , human bonds between peoples.”

Seeing tension ( 紧张局面 ) between two of the world’s biggest powers in recent years, Hoarfrost said China and the US should work together. “We have so much in common, and we need to build on what we have in common,” she added.

For many foreigners, Chinatowns give them their first impression （印象） of China. What are Chinatowns like in their eyes? Three foreign writers share their stories.

LIFESTYLE

Jordon Shinn, 28, the US.

In a local public park, groups of middle-aged Chinese women dance in rows in loud music. Next to the big lake, some people are playing different instruments, like guitar, violin and erhu. Two women sing along to the music in Cantonese （粤语） .

At that time, I feel like I am in a public park in China.

FOOD

Murray Wenzel, 29, Australia.

Almost every big city in Australia has a Chinatown. Chinatown in Brisbane is full of restaurants, just like Beijing. But the food is quite different from “real” Chinese meals. Both of cookies and crackers （薯片） are in every Chinatown restaurant. But I seldom saw them in Beijing.

BUILDING

Hani N. Khan. 26. Singapore.

When you walk into Singapore, you can see different signs （招 牌 ） in Chinese everywhere. Three-floor houses stand along the streets.

Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than “I’m sorry”. This sentence has become such a common that it has taken on a lot of meanings.

Sorry means to apologize (道歉). This is simple and easy to understand. We learn it both as a mother language speaker and as a student of foreign language.

But in Britain, it take on another meaning. It is a cultural expression. Imagine this situation: a man walks down the street, looking down at his phone. A woman is walking in the opposite direction, towards the man. She sees him, but she can’t get out of the way in time. The man walks into the woman. Who should say sorry? Naturally, the man should say sorry, because he isn’t looking at where he is going. Yet in Britain, it is common for both to apologize.

It is known that British people, like most people, do not enjoy conflict (冲突). So to calm the situation soon, British people will apologize to each other.

Sometimes it may sound funny to hear “sorry”. In Britain, sorry doesn’t always mean exactly what you think. Some of my friends say it at restaurants. As they ask the waiter, “Sorry, but can I order another drink?” It is not to apologize, but just to express that we need the waiter.

36. How many meanings of “sorry” are the passage mentioned but apologize?

A. Three.       B. Two.             C. Only one.        D. Four.

37. What does the phrase “take on” mean in the passage?

A. 从事         B. 雇佣             C. 呈现             D. 拿起

38. The example in the third paragraph is used to ________.

A. explain why people should say sorry to each other

B. describe a situation that people should avoid

C. describe how “sorry” has another meaning in Britain

D. show how polite British people are

39. The restaurant example shows that “sorry” can be used to ________.

A. apologize to a waiter            B. explain what you’re thinking about

C. calm a situation down            D. ask a waiter to bring something

40. What might be a good title for this story?

A. “I’m sorry” is more than just an apology. B. Traditional British manners.

C. Finding a way out of a difficult situation.  D. How to best catch others’ attention.
