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?

 

1.No, they don’t. ( No. ) 2.Because they, knew he wasn’t hurt too much. 3.They often laugh or smile. 4.He or she will rush over and help the person get up. 5.“Have a nice trip.” 【解析】短文介绍了中西方的文化差异,面对一个人摔倒这一情况,中国人和西方人有着不同的思考和行动。中国人习惯大笑或微笑。在别人处于尴尬的情况还笑得出来, 但西方人通常会过去帮忙,将其扶起来。因此不同的国家有不同的文化。 1.根据短文中的句子“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?”可知,如果一个青年人摔倒了,王菲和玛丽的表现是不同的,故答案为No, they don’t. ( No. ) 2.根据短文中的句子Wang Fei said, “Because they knew he wasn’t hurt too much.”可知,因为人们知道他摔得并不严重,答案为Because they, knew he wasn’t hurt too much. 3.根据短文中的句子“Very often the person who is in embarrassing(困窘的)situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it.”可知,中国人发现自己处于尴尬境地时也会发笑,故答案为They often laugh or smile. 4.根据短文中的句子“But,in that case,a westerner will rush over and help the person get up.”可知,当看到一个人摔倒时,一个西方人会冲过去帮助那个人起来。故答案为He or she will rush over and help the person get up. 5.根据短文中的句子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.”可知,如果两个密友在一起散步,一个人没有明显受伤,另一个会开玩笑的说“旅途愉快.”故答案为“Have a nice trip.”

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.

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

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
