Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal（信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. Different cultures emphasize（强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job．In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other. 1.In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _______. A．develop closer relations B．share the same culture C．get to know each other D．keep each other company 2.The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _______. A．the English prefer to make long speeches B．too many words are of no use C．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature D．even talk and silence can be culturally different 3.According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better? A．By sharing different ways of life. B. By accepting different habits. C．By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each other' s languages. 4.What would be the best title for the text? A．Multicultural Environment. B．Cross-Cultural Differences. C．How to Understand Each Other. D．How to Build Up a Relationship.

If you are living in the city, have you ever thought of going to live in the country for a change? Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think life in the city is more exciting and better than that in rural (农村的) areas, especially young people who like new and modern things. Often people feel that they can find the latest styles only in the city. Other people are interested in technological (科技的) things and high-tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city. If they want to find a job, especially a good position in a company, they feel they have to live in a city. To get these jobs, they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages (不利因素) of city life such as heavy traffic and pollution. However, it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages (好处) of living in the city. Nowadays, travel is fast and information is available (可获得的) on the Internet, so many people are able to do their work in home offices. Because they have e-mail and personal computers, they don't have to be in big cities to do their business. It is not important where they actually work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere with technology.

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth — so I decided that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds.” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you 20 pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.” Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs. Not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣)by the whole thing. 1.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _______. A. was rather impolite B. was warmly received C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair 2.The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper _______. A. changed his mind B. accepted the offer C. saw the writer’s purpose D. decided to help the write 3.How much did the writer pay? A. ＄5B. ＄7 C. ＄20 D. ＄27 4.From the text, we can learn that the writer was _______. A. honest B. careful C. smart D. Funny

Speak, speak, speak! Practise speaking as often as you can. Speaking to yourself is good practice. Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version（原版）to see how you can do better and have another go. If you do this several times, you will find that each time is better than last. Why not learn with someone else? It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working. Don't get stuck by a word you don't know. Practise improving ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously（本能地），even if you don't know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to make yourself understood. Language learning is also about intuition（直觉）． Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren't expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time. Build up your vocabulary. A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently for short periods of time. Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, and then come back to them later. And above all, have fun! 1.What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To tell us the importance of practicing speaking as often as we can. B. To tell us a few tips to help us learn a new language well. C. To tell us that guesswork is an important way to learn a new language. D. To tell us that a wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning. 2.What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase in the first part? A. Have another try or attempt. B. Move away from a place to another. C. Enter a certain state or condition. D. Follow or take a certain course. 3.To learn English well, we shouldn’t _______ according to the passage. A. practice speaking as often as possible B. study frequently for short periods of time to build up our vocabulary C. try to understand everything and stop when we meet a new word D. try to persuade a friend or family member to study with us

Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables. 1. Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time. Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle. 2. Ideal （理想的）study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner. Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity. 3. You’ll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. After you’ve set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing. 4. Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair. _5._ This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable. A. Pick a place where your children can study properly. B. Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves. C. Finally, spend time with your kids when they’re studying. D. Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement, too. E. Instead, use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed. F. Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward. G. One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedule that they keep to.
