3a Read the passage. What two things did
Kang Jian want to buy in America?
Where were they made?
The Difficult Search for
American Products in the US
If you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may
buy, you might think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys were American brands, they were made in China.”
Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are many other things there made in China — footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made
in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.
3b Read the passage and answer the questions.
1.Where did Kang Jian go to visit his aunt and
uncle?
In San Francisco.
2. What did he discover in the toy stores?
He discovered that most of the toys were
made in China.
3. Why did he have to visit many stores before
buying a pair of basketball shoes?
Because he wanted to buy a pair of basketball
shoes made in America, but most of them were
made in China.
4. What did he realize after his shopping
experiences?
He realized China is so good at making these
everyday things.
5. Why do you think so many products in
America are made in China? How do you
feel about this?
I think Chinese people are great; they can
make many things and sell them to places
around the world. It shows that China is a
great and strong country.
3c Read the passage again and write what
the underlined words in bold refer to.
No matter what you may buy, you might
probably think those products were made
in those countries.
those: ________________________________
_________
those: ___________________________________
(products) cameras, beautiful clothes,
watches
(countries) Japan, France, Switzerland
He found it interesting that so many products
in the local shops were made in China.
it: ____________________________________

3. I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.

1. Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland?

状语从句，相当于whatever。

no matter where = wherever 无论在哪儿
► No matter where /Wherever you go, don’t
forget your hometown.
无论你去哪里，都不要忘记你的家乡。
(2) product (a thing that is grown or produced,
usually for sale)名词，意为“产品；制品”，
可指农业加工品、工业产品及脑力劳动的
产物。
► They have no need to advertise our product.
他们没有必要为我们的产品做广告。
► The novel is the product of ten years of labor.
这部小说是十年努力的产物。
3. He realized that Americans can hardly avoid
buying products made in China.

造的产品。
avoid (to keep away from somebody/something)
作动词，意为“避免；回避”，后可接名词、代词、或动词-ing形式作宾语，但是不能接不定式作宾语。

A general introduction of the topic is

Reading Strategy
Beauty in Common Things
Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.
According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by
Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble.
Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright
symbols of happiness and good wishes.
Paper cutting has been around for over
1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds
very easy but it can be difficult to do.
The paper, usually red, is folded
before it is cut with scissors.
The most common pictures are flowers, animals,

pieces are so small but they look very real. The
pieces are usually cute children or lively
characters from a Chinese fairy tale or
historical story. The pieces are carefully
shaped by hand from a very special kind of
clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.
