A

　　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 government of India 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(投資) 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 Rangalore to train in software.Meanwhile,all the 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 USMYM15 billion for last year and USMYM20 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.

　　()21.Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?

　　A.She was tired of Indian tea.

　　B.She had a son working in China.

　　C.She believed it had a curing effect.

　　()22.What does the author mean by “it?s a two?way street” in Paragraph 10?

　　A.China and India have different traffic rules.

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

　　C.Chinese products are popular in both China and India.

　　D.The exchanges between India and China benefit both.

　　()23.What do we know about the Indian IT industry?

　　A.It will move its head office to Shenzhen.

　　B.It is seeking further development in China.

　　C.It has attracted an investment of USMYM15 billion.

　　D.It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.
