He Jiang,a postgraduate(研究生)in biology,will become the first Chinese student to give a speech in the commencement(毕业典礼) at Harvard University on May 26,2016.
Given the highest honor by the university.He Jiang,who was born in a small village in Hunan province,said,"People in China often believe that it's useless to study and children from the countryside cannot be successful in the future.However,I cannot agree with them.Education can change a person's life.I hope my experience can encourage the students from the countryside to spare no effort in studyand make their dream come turn."
Different from many other families in the village,his parents never though about finding a job in big cities and leaving their two sons at home without their care.His farther was strict about their studies.He and his younger brother studies at home while the other kids in the village played in the fields.Unlike his strict farther,his mother took her sons'side when her husband scolded the boys.She preferred to sit with her sons when they studied rather than chat with other women in the village.
Getting the chance to speak at commencement is no accident.During his first days in Harvard,it was quite difficult for him to follow the professor in class and he was speechless in campus because of his poor English.Instead of giving up.He Jiang spent all his free time on English.He also make friends with natives to improve his speaking English.One year later,he had little difficulty in class and soon became one of the top students in his class.With the encouragement from Professor Diana Eck,He Jiang decided to apply(申请) for the chance to speak at the commencement."Few Chinese students had applied before,but I wanted to have a try.I just want to realize my idea of letting more people hear the voice from China and telling them that China is not what it used to be."said He Jiang.After beating three students from Harvard Kennedy School in the third and final round,He Jiang made it to get the chance to speak at the commencement.
He Jiang will go to Massachusetts Institute of Technology after graduating from Harvard.

It seems that beauty and women are twins.You are joking? No,I am not.Watch it for yourself! Ads on fashion TV screens,radio programs,magazines,newspapers,and the streets.Whether they have realized it or not, women are surrounded(包围)by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. so who dares to neglect(忽略) dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?
But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their appearances. The richness of their minds proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their appearances. a woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or“granny” can still keep up her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge,ability,a kind heart,great courage, caring for others, etc.
In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts(相对的概念).People who keep a young mind will never feel old.Interested in new things and eager to learn more,they keep up with the time. plainly-dressed women may have a type of beauty that is pure and real. Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful.Good books are rich soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and appearances.Why does the author say that beauty and women are twins? Because women ________.
A.are born to be beauties |
B.like to buy cheap clothes |
C.try to keep their beauty by dressing up |
D.are proud of their beauty |
Which is more important to a woman in the writer’s opinion?

London’s Chinese community(社区) 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.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. |
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 |
