Do you know the meaning  of the phrases?

As we know, there are so many things made in China in England. What about in America and other countries in the world? 

If you go to Switzerland, what would you buy?

Before reading

Now let’s read the passage of 3a. First, read quickly and find the answers to 3b.

Read the passage. What two things did Kang Jian want to buy in America? Where were they made?

The Difficult Search for American Products in the US

If you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy,  you might think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong.

Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys were American brands, they were made in China.”

Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are many other things there made in China — footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” 

Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he hopes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.

Language Points

Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? 

你會買日本產的相機，法國制作的漂亮衣服,還是瑞士產的手表？

(1) France 名詞，意為“法國”，是國家名稱。

► Have you ever been to France? 你去過法國嗎？

French adj. 法國的；法國人的；法語的；n. 法語

No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. 

無論你可能會買什么，你或許會認為那些產品就產于那些國家。

(1) no matter what意為“無論什么”，引導讓步狀語從句，相當于whatever。

►No matter what/Whatever you say, I can not agree with you,

無論你說什么，我都不會贊同你。

與no matter what用法類似的還有： 

no matter who = whoever 無論誰 

no matter when = whenever 無論什么時候      

no matter where = wherever 無論在哪兒 

►No matter where /Wherever you go, don’t forget your hometown.

無論你去哪里，都不要忘記你的家鄉。

(2) product (a thing that is grown or produced,  usually for sale)名詞，意為“產品；制品”，可指農業加工品、工業產品及腦力勞動的產物。

►They have no need to advertise our product.

他們沒有必要為我們的產品做廣告。

►The novel is the product of ten years of labor.

這部小說是十年努力的產物。

3. He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China.

他意識到美國人幾乎不可避免會買到中國制造的產品。

avoid (to keep away from sb./sth.)  作動詞，意為“避免；回避”，后可接名詞、代詞、或動詞-ing形式作賓語，但是不能接不定式作賓語。

譯：他對我的問題避而不答。

誤：He avoided to answer my questions.

正：He avoided answering my questions.

Homework
