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? 

你会买日本产的相机，法国制作的漂亮衣服,还是瑞士产的手表？

(1) France 名词，意为“法国”，是国家名称。

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

无论你可能会买什么，你或许会认为那些产品就产于那些国家。

(1) no matter what意为“无论什么”，引导让步状语从句，相当于whatever。

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

无论你说什么，我都不会赞同你。

与no matter what用法类似的还有： 

no matter who = whoever 无论谁 

no matter when = whenever 无论什么时候      

no matter where = wherever 无论在哪儿 

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

无论你去哪里，都不要忘记你的家乡。

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

avoid (to keep away from sb./sth.)  作动词，意为“避免；回避”，后可接名词、代词、或动词-ing形式作宾语，但是不能接不定式作宾语。
