One Sunday evening, it was quite dark when old Stanley went for his walk. He was walking along the sidewalk. Suddenly, he saw a white car coming around the corner at high speed. It was going too fast and crashed into a red car in the street where he was walking. He rushed up to the cars to see if anyone was hurt and needed help.

Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from elegant (优雅的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.

Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.

“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”.

“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Henan Province’, I know he should say: ‘My hometown is in Henan Province’. ‘Hometown’ is a smaller place in a province.” The common mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.

1.What does the writer think of the use of “WC”?

A. He doesn’t think it means water closet.

B. He doesn’t think it old-fashioned English.

C. He doesn’t think it proper for a sign.

2.The underlined word “rarely” means___________.

A. sometimes    B. seldom    C. often

3.Charlie Shifflet _________ .

A. is a Chinese living in America

B. thinks Chinese people are sometimes using incorrect English

C. likes to hear or see Chinglish

4.Which of the following signs does NOT use Chinglish?

5.The last paragraph is about__________.

A. why there are so many Chinglish signs

B. examples of Chinglish

C. where Chinglish signs are

Have you ever heard the old saying ,"Never judge a book by its cover" ?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others.

Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young people with an unusual gift(天赋) in writing may find himself speechless in front of a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don't make mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and a paper, he can express himself better than anybody.

Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front(举止). A student who listens carefully and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score(得分) near the bottom of the class .

It all boils down to this: you can't judge someone by appearance(外表). The only way to decide a person's intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situation you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don't judge a book by its cover.

1.The best title for the passage is “___________”.

A. Judging Intelligence    B. Choosing a book    C. Putting up a good front

2.The young man in the passage ______ .

A. was stupid    B. was successful with girls    C. was a talented writer

3.According to this passage, a student who listens carefully and takes notes in class ____________ .

A. is an intelligent student    B. may not be an intelligent student    C. will score better in exams

4.The passage suggests that we should judge a person’s intelligence through ______.

A. his appearance    B. his deeds in the classroom    C. his reactions to different situations

5.The writer of this passage wants to tell us not to______.

A. judge a book by its cover

B. make the mistake of thinking a young man stupid

C. judge a person’s intelligence by his appearance

Wang Fei,a Chinese student,and Mary,an American student studying Chinese in China,were in a supermarket.They saw a young man walking down the stairs.In his hurry,he missed the last two steps and fell onto the ground.He tried to stand up while people around him laughed.Luckily,he seemed to be OK.

Mary found Wang Fei smiling a little and was not happy about it. “Tell me, Fei, how could people laugh when someone fell like that? Why didn’t they go up and ask him if he was hurt?”

Wang Fei said, “Because they knew he wasn’t hurt too much.”

“But I still don’t understand.A fall is a fall.In my culture, people would never laugh!”

This is an example.The Chinese and the westerner will think and act differently when seeing such a thing.Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling.Very often the person who is in embarrassing(困窘的)situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it.However,if someone gets hurt seriously,it will not be a laughing matter any more.People will help him or her instead.

But,in that case,a westerner will rush over and help the person get up.If a westerner falls,he or she,like a Chinese person,may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt.If two close friends are walking together,and one falls but clearly isn't hurt,a common joke is to say “Have a nice trip”.

So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures

1.Wang Fei and Mary think and act in the same way if they see a young man falling down, don’t they?

2.Why didn't people go up and ask the young man if he was hurt?

3.What do Chinese people often do when they find themselves in embarrassing situation?

4.What is a westerner likely to do when he or she sees someone fall down?

5.What might Mary say to Wang Fei if he fell but clearly was not hurt?
