That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in the city I lived. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and the life in this awful place.

As I walked down the empty street under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. "Run!" I told myself and began to do so, both to keep warm and keep away from any possible danger.

About a block from my flat, I heard a noise behind me. I turned quickly, but the street was empty. The noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. I didn't realize what the noise had been until I reached my flat. It had been my wallet falling to the street.

I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran back to where I had heard the noise. Although I searched the street for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard a rubbish truck stop next to me. A voice called from the truck driver, "Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and a man jumped out. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night. But I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.

The year 2019 marked the 40th anniversary of the start of diplomatic (外交) relations between China and the United States. When the Joint Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations《中美建交公报》went into effect on Jan 1, 1979, the two countries began a friendship that stays deep to this day. Whether it's stepped-up trade, shared entertainment markets (娱乐市场) or simply people-to-people exchanges, China and the US have helped each other grow and succeed.

Trade and economy (经济)

As the largest and second-largest economies in the world, the US and China have a strong economic relationship. They are both major trade partners for each other, exporting (出口) and importing (进口) billions of dollars worth of goods every year. As of October 2019, the total value of trade between both countries was nearly $468 billion (3.26 trillion yuan), according to US Census Bureau. Certain US products, such as high-end (高端) clothing and electronics brands (品牌), are in high demand (需求) in China. Likewise, China exports large amounts of manufactured (制造的) goods to the US, including clothing and industrial equipment (工业设备).

Entertainment

As the world's fastest-growing film market, China is Hollywood's top target (目标) at the moment, with new releases in China earning millions of dollars. Avengers: Endgame 《复仇者联盟4:终局之战》 for example, earned $614 million (4.28 billion yuan) in China last year, according to Box Office Mojo. China, for its own part, is working to develop its own movie industry and send its films abroad. The sci-fi film The Wandering Earth 《流浪地球》, which came out last year, did quite well in the US. It became China's third highest-grossing (票房最高的) film of all time with total worldwide earnings of nearly $700 million (4.88 billion yuan), according to Box Office Mojo.

People-to-people exchanges

The US is a top choice for many Chinese students who wish to study abroad. US universities have welcomed record numbers of Chinese students in recent years, with the total number of students reaching 360,000 as of June 2019, according to the BBC. This has allowed students from both countries to gain a greater understanding of each other's cultures. And, of course, there are those on both sides who choose to live and work in each other's countries. Many Chinese researchers work in US labs (实验室), while in China, there are many US citizens working in fields ranging (范围) from journalism (新闻) to English education.

1.China and the US formally established diplomatic relations in _________.

A.1949 B.1971 C.1979 D.2019

3.People-to-people exchanges help to improve _________.

B.the development of the education industry in China

C.cultural exchanges between both countries

D.the sharing of scientific discoveries between both countries

4.The article describes China-US relations in all of the following areas except _________.
