18．Chinese consumers'crazy appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable，with just 2 percent of the Chinese population responsible for one-third of the world's luxury items．
As China's economic miracle develops，the market opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are increasing．Luxury consumption in China now extends ways beyond well-known car，clothing and jewelry brands．For example，the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing in the world，even outstripping that of the United States，with a market share of 25 percent．This trend appears to continue，with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China，compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US．But more importantly，China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items．
China's high-quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods．In 2013，China became the largest market for red wine in the world，even overtaking France，with l.86 billion bottles consumed in China last year．Over the past five years，China's red wine consumption has grown 136 percent．
According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing，public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to"gain face"and publicly display social climbing through material possessions．On the other hand，it is"self-reward"that lies behind consumer motivation in this area．Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success．But this has little to do with"gaining face"and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment．
Finally，the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally．

32．What do you think the author would most probably be？C
A．A news reporter．B．An accountant．C．A professor．D．A conductor．
33．The underlined word"outstripping"in Paragraph 2 probably means"C"．

D．China's red wine consumption has increased to 1.86 billion bottles since 2013．

C．The Potential Luxury Jet Market in China           
D．The Maturity of the Chinese Consumers．

17．At least once each winter I manage to get a good flight in the middle of a snowstorm．Last Sunday was that flight．My gliding（滑翔的）partners had looked at the weather reports of showers and decided to stay at home．People say that you shouldn't fly by yourself，but on that day I felt the urge to go flying and so headed for my favorite gliding site．
I had the mountain ridge to myself．After a smooth lift-off，I floated stably in the breeze，feeling at peace with myself and the world．I looked across the valley to Bedford and a moment later saw the town disappear in a band of snow that was moving towards me．
The breeze remained strong enough for flying and I knew that as long as the visibility was good，it was OK for me to stay in the air．The snow moved in and swirled around me．It was a light dry snow．The day was already very quiet but，somehow，the light snow made it even more silent．I felt like a snowflake．
Two bald eagles joined me．They didn't pay me any attention and spent a few minutes flying around the ridge before disappearing．I flew through another band of snow．I had been flying for about 45 minutes when I next looked across the valley．I could see there were more bands of snow to come and the breeze was dying too．
It was time to go home，get in a hot bath and warm up．I couldn't wait to tell my gliding partners that they had missed out on a perfect flight．

D．An Impressive Winter Flight．

16．I walked up to the counter．Behind it was a lady with glasses on the tip of her nose and gray hair on her head．
"Excuse me，"I said．She looked up．"You're that Clements kid，"she said．"I'm Miss Bee．Come closer and let me get a look at you．"She pushed her glasses up her nose．"I can describe you to the police if something goes missing from the store．"
"I'm not a thief!"I was shocked．I was seven，too young to be a thief!
"From what I can see，you're not much of anything．But I can tell you've got potential．"She went back to reading her newspaper．
"I need to get these．"I said，holding up my list．"So？Go get them．"Miss Bee pointed to a sign on the screen door．"I'm not your servant，so I suggest you get yourself a basket and start filling．"
I visited Miss Bee several times a week that summer．Sometimes she short-changed me．Other times she overcharged．"That can of beans is only twenty nine cents"I corrected her one afternoon．I had watched the numbers change on the cash register closely，and Miss Bee had added 35 cents．She didn't seem embarrassed．She just looked at me over her glasses and fixed the price．
But she ever let me declare victory．All summer long she found ways to play tricks on me．No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda（小蘇打）and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelve and made me hunt for it all over again．
One day before I left，she said，"I know what you think of me，but I don't care!Each of us is put on this earth for a reason．I believe my job is to teach every child I meet life lessons．When you get older you'll be glad our paths crossed!"Glad I met Miss Bee？Ha!The idea was absurd…
Until one day my daughter asked me to finish her math problems．"If I do it for you，how will you ever learn to do it yourself？"I said．Suddenly，I remembered the lady Miss Bee．

Exercise daily．Exercise has a whole host of benefits for your physical health．But physical fitness also has been shown to increase mental sharpness as people age．In one study，elderly men who were fit were able to perform better than those who were unfit in decision-making tasks．
Eat a healthy diet．Brain health may be key to maintaining memory stores as we age．（17）BBe sure your diet includes：healthy fats，fruits，veggies，grains，and moderate amount of alcohol．These things can help reduce your risk for stroke．

Don't stop learning．You can continue your education yourself throughout your life．（20）DIt is a great place to relax，gather thoughts，and focus an studying．If you have any spare time，carry a book over to the park or stop in at a family restaurant．

There's traditional music and dancing．Sometimes there are Morris dancers who paint their faces black and wear colourful ribbons to disguise themselves．Many of the children are dressed in national dress．It really brings everyone together and you feel such a great sense of community!Although one of the oldest traditions in Wales，it nearly died out!Luckily today，there has been a rise in popularity with many Welsh towns breathing life again to these old-age customs．It's believed that it will be a hit again．
