Almost every Chinese person can recite(背诵) the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work ”. But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.

According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2011, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

Chinese TV shows that describe young people's lives in modern society are crossing the cultural divide and attracting a lot of foreign audiences.
One of the examples is the Chinese TV series "A Beautiful Daughter-in-law Era", a light comedy about a modern Chinese couple.
The TV series was first aired in Shanghai in November 2009. It was dubbed in Swahili and broadcast in east African countries in 2011. Two Kenyan（肯尼亚人） actresses were chosen to do voice dubbing for the two leading roles in the African version of the series. It was a great success in Africa.
Tanzanians（坦桑尼亚人） say that they are able to understand how young Chinese people live happily in modern times and they may be able to find ways to solve their personal problems by watching the series.
Although China is one of the world's most prolific（多产的） producers of TV series, its series are not particularly popular overseas. The popularity of "A Beautiful Daughter-In-Law Era" may serve as an example for Chinese TV producers who want to bring their work to other countries.
In recent years, some TV series that show the lives of people in Chinese cities have achieved some success in the foreign market.
"Go Lala Go!," a TV series that details the adventures of a female office worker named Du Lala, has also started to reach global audiences. The series has been exported to Singapore, Malaysia, the United States and Canada.
"The Chinese dream will be more easily accepted by foreign audiences when it is manifested in small and touching stories," said Meng Jian, a professor at Fudan University.What can Tanzanians do by watching the Chinese TV series "A Beautiful Daughter-in-law Era"?
| A．They can be chosen to do voice dubbing for the leading roles. |
| B．They can bring their work to other countries. |
| C．They can find ways to solve their personal problems. |
| D．They can be successful at work. |
Which of the following is true according to the passage?

| B．All the Chinese TV series are popular overseas. |
| C．Some Chinese TV series that show the lives of people in Chinese countries have achieved some success in the foreign market. |

Apple’s logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标) around the world. But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious, because that’s the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能) and unlocked German wartime codes(密码). However，after the war, he was put into prison，because of his beliefs. He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.
However, Rob Janoff, who designed the famous Apple logo, said, “It’s not the truth, but only a legend(传说, 传奇). The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry (樱桃). When I go to markets to buy apples, I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist.”
