When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood. This chemical is called adrenalin. With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and are ready to fight or run away. However, when you are completely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this happens, the muscles become very hard and you find that you cannot move at all. You are then disabled with fear. That is why, when we are very frightened, we sometimes say that we are ‘petrified’. This word comes from the Greek word ‘peters’ which means ‘stone’. We are so frightened we have become like stone.?

When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China．

When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans．Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now．

Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea．”

As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea ．

I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story．My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses．

At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian．It was a strange country．

How things change! And how soon!

Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”．And everyone is talking about China．

The govemment of Indin has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done．A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资)and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”．

But it’s a two-way street．I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software．Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China．

No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments．

No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian(中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year．

But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea．

1．According to the passage, the author left _____ for ______．

     A．India; China             B．China; India     

       C．China; Longjing          D．India; Shenzhen

2．The reason why the writer’s mother asked for Chinese green tea is that_____．

     A．she had a son working in China          B．she believed it had a curing effect

     C．she enjoyed Chinese products      D．she was tired of Indian tea

3．The underlined part “it’s a two-way street” in Paragraph 10 probably means ____．

     A．The exchanges between Indian and China benefit both．

     B．China and India have different traffic rules．

     C．Tea trade works wonders in both India and China．

     D．Chinese produces are popular in both China and India．

4．It can be inferred from the passage that _______．

     A．the author was concerned for his mother’s health

     B．the author was in favor of drinking Chinese green tea

     C．the author was surprised at China’s recent development
