The China International Publishing Group is the largest and the most authoritativeforeign language publishing and distribution establishment, its predecessor being the International Press Bureau of the Central People's Government Press and Publication Administration.// Adhering to the publishing philosophy of “assisting China's march to the world and facilitating world's understanding of China”, the Group commits itself entirely to promoting foreign language education and research in China and advancing cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.// In order to build up a strong team of publishing staff, as well as to meet the growing need of more technically demanding business, the Group makes it a rule that young staff be selected and sent to noted universities and research institutions, both domestic and overseas, for further studies.// As is clearly spelled out in our new development strategy, we will go beyond our national boundaries and wedge ourselves into the world circulation market, aiming at the international readership. Our initial efforts have been very rewarding.//

改革開放30 年來，隨着中國逐漸崛起成爲政治經濟強國，海外人士學習漢語的現象與日俱增，海外孔子學院也成了人們學習中國語言和中國文化的首選之地。// 通過學習漢語，他們對這個和自己文化大相徑庭的古老文明產生了濃厚的興趣，而且有機會了解中國的哲學、藝術、醫學、飲食文化，親身體驗這個文明古國的風采。// 作爲第二文化，中國文化也豐富了他們的生活和世界觀。可以說，這個潮流方興未艾。越來越多的學習漢語的美國人除了對中國菜餚讚不絕口之外，也在嘗試鍼灸，草藥和武術。//他們也看功夫電影，學習東方時裝潮流和手工藝，不知不覺的在日常生活中談及中國的點心，人蔘、銀杏，烏龍茶等。目前在美國最熱門的中國文化是道家學說和有着神祕色彩的風水學 。

As China is rising as a political and economic world power, thanks to its three-decade reform and opening up, more and more people in overseas countries start to learn Chinese and turn to a Confucius Institute in their own countries as their first choice learning Chinese language and Chinese culture.// During the learning process, the learners concurrently develop their interest in this ancient land, whose civilization is so vastly different from theirs. And the learners have opportunities to learn about Chinese philosophy, art, architecture, medicine and catering culture and experience first-hand the splendors of this venerablecivilization.// As the second culture, Chinese culture has enriched the life and world outlook of the learners. This trend, so to speak, is gathering momentum and is there to stay. Apart from their love for Chinese cuisine, more and more American learners of Chinese language are turning to Chinese acupuncture, herbal medicines, martial arts.// They are also interested in kongfu films, fashions and crafts. Seemingly outlandishwords such as dim sum, ginseng, gingko, oolongcha have crept into their everyday language. The latest Chinese cultural icons to make its impact there are Taoism, and ancient school of thought, and fengshui, an ancient art of placement.//Passage 8

過去10年，海平面升高和森林砍伐的速度都是前所未有的；生態惡化、物種滅絕、臭氧層被破壞、溫室效應、酸雨等一系列環境問題已經嚴重影響到人類的生存環境。// 環境惡化造成的問題之一就是缺水。目前全世界40%以上的人口，即20 多億人，面臨缺水問題。據預測，未來25 年全球人口將由60 億增長到80 億，環境保護面臨更大的壓力。// 中國作爲一個發展中國家，面臨着發展經濟和保護環境的雙重任務。從國情出發，中國在全面推進現代化的過程中，將環境保護視爲一項基本國策。// 衆所周知，對生態環境和生物多樣性的保護是環保工作的重點。我國野生動植物物種豐富，僅脊椎動物就有6000 多種左右，高等植物3 萬多種。//

Sea level rose and forest were destroyed at an unprecedented rate during the last decade. A series of environmental problems such as the deterioration of ecosystem, the extinction of bio-species, damage to the ozone layer, the green-house effect, acid rain, have posed a serious threat to human living conditions.// Environmental crisis leads to one of the serious problems, namely, water shortage. Presently, more than 40% of the world's population, more than 2 billion people, now face water shortage. It is predicted that with the global population expected to increase from six billion to eight billion over the next 25 years, more pressure on environmental protection stress is expected.// As a developing country, China is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment. Proceeding from its national conditions, China has, in the process of promoting its overall modernization program, made environmental protection one of its basic state policies.// It is known to all that protection of the ecological environment and biodiversity is the focal point of environmental protection work. China is rich in wildlife species. There are about 6,000 vertebrates alone and 30,000 species of higher plants.//

To effectively protect children's rights and interests, China's legislation, judicial and government departments concerned as well as non-governmental organizations have set up corresponding mechanisms to supervise, facilitate and promote the healthy development of the work on protecting children.// The Chinese government has done a great deal to mobilizevarious circles in society to care for, in various manners , the development of disabled children, to greatly encourage the spirit of unceasing self-improvement among physically disadvantaged children and to advocate the valued social virtues of unity, friendship and mutual aid.// The Chinese nation has long cultivated the traditional virtues of “bring up the young” and “caring for the young”. An old Chinese saying that “love our children and love others' children in the same manner” is still very popular.// We should urge the society at large to raise the awareness of importance of “protecting and educating children, and setting a good example and doing practical thing for children”. We will spare no efforts to create favorable social conditions for the progress of child development programs.//

Passage 10

武術在我國源遠流長，是中華民族傳統文化的瑰寶。我們知道，一個民族的優秀文化遺產，不僅僅屬於一個民族，它會逐漸傳播到世界而成爲人類的共同財富。// 爲了更好的推廣武術運動，使其與奧運項目接軌，中國武協和國際武聯做了大量的艱苦卓絕的工作。現在武術運動已被列爲一種與保齡球運動和國際標準舞有同等地位的奧運表演項目。//武術的蓬勃發展，除得益於其項目本身的吸引力之外，早期移居海外的一代武術大師功不可沒。//老一代武術家在海外播種下了武術的種子，使武術這門既可以自衛又可以健身的運動很快就在新的土地上紮下了根。今天高超的武術大師已遍佈世界各地，武術愛好者也與日俱增。//

Wushu, or Chinese martial art, can be traced back to ancient times. It is a gem of Chinese traditional culture. As we all know, the fine culture of a nation doesn't belong to the nation alone and it will be spread to the rest of the world and shared by all humanity.// The Chinese Wushu Association and International Wushu Federation (IWUF) have been working very hard to popularize wushu and make the Chinese martial art closer to the Olympic Movement. Wushu was accepted to join bowling and international standard dance as an Olympic demonstration event.// The booming of wushu is attributed not only to the attractiveness of the sport but also to emigrantChinese wushu masters over the years.// Martial artists of the older generations have sown wushu seeds in foreign countries. Wushu, which can be used as self defense and can keep practitioners fit and strong, soon became popular on new lands. Today superb wushu masters are active all over the world, and amateurs are on the increase with each passing day.
