Despite the thousands of kilometers between them, China39。s historical and artistic mark on Brazil has existed for about 300 years, said Brazilian sinologist (漢學(xué)家) Jose Roberto Teixeira Leite in his book China in Brazil. Influences from China can date from the colonial period, even up to the time after after Brazil39。s independence. The mercial relationship between the two countries has existed for a long time, he noted, adding that ining ships would fill up Brazilian cities like Salvador, Rio de Janeiro and Recife with Chinese products like porcelain (瓷器), silk and fans He also found Chinese influence not only in the arts and architecture of Brazil but also in the most diverse areas of Brazilian society, like the economy, medicine and popular culture. At the end of the 19th century, in Pernambuco, (a state in northeastern Brazil), there was a custom that children slept with clothes decorated with Chinese dragons. Teixeira added. The book took him about 15 years to finish. The impact of the book surprised me, though it was published by a university publisher and it had a print run of just 1,000 copies, he said. Some have said that the book represents a turning point in Chinese studies in Brazil. Besides, the sinologist did research on the mark and presence of China in the architecture and arts of Brazil. It was through art that China awoke in me, first, curiosity, after that, interest, and finally, passion, Teixeira said. In 1992, the sinologist visited Macao to do research for his doctoral thesis about the marks and presence of China in Brazil, and that trip impressed him a lot. In 2013, Teixeira had a chance to visit the Chinese cities of Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai, and got to know the past and present of the great country culturally, as well as its incredible material development.（1）What does the underlined sentence imply? children39。s love for dragons as Chinese children. development of ChinaBrazil frequent trade cooperation. further understanding of the cultures of the two countries.39。s influence on most diverse areas of Brazilian society.（2）What marks a new stage of Chinese studies for Brazilian? 39。s clothes. sinologist39。s traveling. sinologist39。s book.39。s porcelain.（3）What fired the sinologist39。s passion for Chinese studies? art. customs. history of China.39。s development.（4）What is the best title for this passage?

These cities are centers of music and dance, museums, and theaters. Here are four of them where you can find inspiration in the arts, starting with the top spot. Rome, Italy At its peak, the Roman Empire extended over nearly two million square miles of land across Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa. Today, that history is on display everywhere. The city39。s main attractions are famous not because of tourist advertisements, but because they are really so impressive. No wonder it39。s known as the Eternal City: You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day. Paris, France Hemingway famously called Paris a moveable feast, but wherever you go while in the city, there is always something to see, hear, taste or feel. With some 150 museums, Paris doubles as an art history class, offering the very best of the discipline across centuries and styles. London, United Kingdom London is inspiration and setting for the rise of Shakespeare, Dickens, Orwell and Eliot and the breeding ground for all those iconic (標(biāo)志性的) bands: The Kinks, The Clash and The Stones. London is also Banksy39。s favorite canvas, home to more than 1,000 galleries, and the kind of place where you can spend a whole day in a single museum and still be ready for more when it opens the next morning. Vienna, Austria As we all know, Western music would be unrecognizable without Austria39。s capital, which nurtured many famous musicians. It39。s also the site of the Vienna Secession, a revolutionary art movement founded in 1897 by Gustav Klimt. Visitors today can see the fruits of all that creativity in the city39。s 100 – odd museums.（1）Why is Rome regarded as the Eternal City? had an important role in history. history can be seen everywhere. can easily find new art and cultu
