"Do you know Macao was never my real name? I have been away from you for too long, mother..."

Song of the Seven Sons-Macao, written by Wen Yiduo in 1925, is still in the hearts of Macao's teenagers today. The Basic Law of Macao Special Administrative Region (《中华人民共和国澳门特别行政区基本法》) came out in 1993 and started to work on Dec. 20, 1999, as Macao returned to China. From then on, it has become much easier for young people to build a closer relationship with their motherland.

Chan U, an 18-year-old, is studying at the University of Macao. She said "Traveling to the Chinese mainland (大陆) has become easier. Visits to Zhuhai have become a part of the daily life of some people." Kun Lot U, 25, studies at the South China University of Technology. She said "Many local people go to Zhuhai to buy vegetables as they are fresher and cheaper than those in local markets. Young people often go to Zhuhai to play jubensha, a role-playing game."

The number of trips out of Macao in January was 2.23 million, and most of them went to the Chinese mainland. Cities like Chongqing, Changsha and Hangzhou are popular places for young people, according to Chan. Guangdong is also a good choice since the language and food are similar.

"Young people in Macao care a lot about what's happening on the mainland," said Kun. Like the young people on the mainland. they also use apps from the mainland to know the hot issues(话题). They have learned many mainland Internet catcbphrases (流行语). "1know about the most popular ones such as ‘yyds'," said Kun. "They make us understand more about people and life on the mainland."

More than half of the people in Macao use online shopping apps from the mainland.Kun said that it's because they can find almost everything they need at good prices on the apps. The products are first shipped to a collection station in Macao. It usually takes about three to seven days for local people to get the products. "The connection between Macao and the motherland is getting stronger and stronger," said Chan.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

What do you usually do when you get mad? Some people choose to shout out, throw things or kick walls. And some would like to lock themselves in a room and refuse to talk to anyone. In fact, there is a better way to calm down and let go of your anger. 

Some researchers did an interesting study. They wanted to see how different methods would affect people's levels(程度)of anger. The researchers asked about 100 students from a college to write down their thoughts on an important social problem. They told the students what they wrote would be evaluated(评价). Then the researchers gave each student a bad review that read, "I can't believe a college student would think like this. "That made the students mad as the researchers had expected. 

At the same time, the researchers checked all the students' anger levels and asked them to write down their feelings on a piece of paper. Then half of the students were told to throw the paper into the rubbish bins. The rest were asked to place the paper on their desks. 

When the researchers checked the students' levels of anger again, they discovered something fun. Those who put the paper on the desks showed little reduction(减少)in anger. But those who threw the paper in the rubbish bins were less angry. Actually, their anger levels were almost back to where they were before the study. 

When you get angry, try writing down your feelings on a piece of paper and then throw it away. You may feel as if you're throwing away your anger.
