阅读理解(二)训练一(一)(2014，玉林)can you write down a chinese word which you are listening to？it can be difficult，especially when the word is not included in most dictionaries.lu jialei，a fourteenyearold girl，is from hangzhou foreign language school.she won the cctv chinese character (汉字) spelling contest on october 18，2013.about 160 people entered the contest.the host read a word or a phrase to the contestant (选手)，explained its meaning and gave sample sentences.the contestant was asked to write down the word or the phrase.winning the contest was a “surprise” to lu.“i am not the cleverest one，”she said.“but i pay attention to the small features of characters.”for the contest，she and her partners studied the modern chinese dictionary for 10 days.there are more than 56，000 entries (字条) including characters，words and phrases in it.she has a secret weapon (武器)she studied how chinese characters were structured.in the final，judges (评委) gave her the word “wanluan” and said it means “nice and pretty”“at first i was a little nervous，ive never heard of that word！”said lu.but she made a good guess.“characters which mean pretty often have 女 in them，while many characters which pronounce luan have 亦 in them.so i wrote down 婉娈，”she said.this secret weapon came from her good reading habits.“when others pay attention to the event of a story，she looks at how authors use words and sentences to express themselves，”said su yunsheng，lus chinese teacher.su is happy to see that students like lu can find the beauty of chinese language.“learning to write chinese characters is an

do，i then decided it was the perfect time and place to look for an act of kindness to do.outside security there was a girl having flowers for sale.i told her that id like to buy flowers for someone else，and she could decide who to give them to.she looked a little confused，so i suggested perhaps she should give them to someone who looked a little sad.that was because he or she might need some cheering up.at first，the girl answered，“thats crazy.”but then i explained a little more about the idea of doing something kind for a stranger，and she understood.“ill never know how it turns out，”i said，“but you will have the chance to make someones good day.”at that time，she started to seem excited about it.she went to take the flowers out of the water they were siting in，and i explained.“its fine to leave them in there until the person who you want to give them to comes.”at that point，i think she was between surprised and happy.because it might be her first time to meet a customer like
