Then I read his book, We Are All the Same, about his friendship with Xolani Nkosi, a South African boy who became the international spokesman for AIDS(艾滋病). It is about the friendship between Wooten and a black child who was ten years old and already dying of AIDS. It is also a book about a great teacher and his student. But the teacher-the one with real wisdom and understanding about life-is the little boy, not the journalist. And, finally, it’s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi’s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their love for each other. When reading the book, I felt touched from time to time.

小题5:Because she loved the boy./Because the boy was dying of AIDS.
小题6:He respected Jim./He admired Jim. The writer wrote/mentioned that Jim was a great TV news reporter.(3分题)
解析
试题分析:短文大意:这篇是关于一名伟大的电视新闻记者吉姆伍滕的文章。他在卢旺达的报道,给作者留下了深刻的印象。
小题1:此题问“Jim Wooten看到卢旺达面临死亡孩子时的感觉”,所以答案需要填一个表达当时感觉的形容词,答案可以根据第一段内容进行提炼,所以答案可以为He felt very sad./He was heartbroken.等。
小题2:此题问“如何做普通的新闻工作者”,在文章第一段中讲述Jim Wooten的做法跟一般不同,所以需要将其中的否定句改成肯定句。即He would give us some awful, artificial television-journalist reports out of pity./He would fall into some of the modern television-news tricks.
小题3:此题问“方式”,回答时一般需要用介词by来引导。根据文章第一段“Jim ended his piece by saying that when he got home, the first thing he was going to do was to put his arms around his won children.”所以本题答案为By saying that when he got home, the first thing he was going to do was to put his arms around his won children.
小题4:此题的问题是“选择疑问句”,这也是整篇文章相对简单的一题(1分题),根据文章第二段中内容“But the teacher-the one with real wisdom and understanding about life—is the little boy, not the journalist.”,可知本题答案为The little boy。
小题5:此题问的是“为什么尽力救这个孩子”,文章第二段最后讲述的是“a love story”,所以答案可以是Because she loved the boy./Because the boy was dying of AIDS.
小题6:此题是一个开放题。首先问的是作者对Jim Wooten的态度,即崇拜或尊敬Her espected/love/admired him. 原因也可以从文章中找到,如:He was a great TV news reporter。

The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, ‘It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.’ Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, ‘She isn’t exactly friendly.’ Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.

小题2:What does ‘understatement’ mean?
小题3:What do the British love to watch comedies about?
小题4:How does Mr Bean make people laugh?
小题5:What are the key points for people to understand British humour?
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(多元文化)environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

For their ancestors, largely in rural areas, it was a major annual festival and was celebrated(庆祝) through out the country, especially on the first day of May with music, dancing and games.
How was May Day Celebrated in the past?
May Day began early in the morning. People went out before sunrise in order to gather flowers and plants to make their houses and villages beautiful in the belief that the vegetation spirits(神灵) would bring good luck.
A traditional May Day dance is Maypole Dancing,On May Day, people used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer.People danced around the tree poles in celebration of the end of winter and the start of the fine weather that would allow planting to begin. Maypoles are still a part of some
village life and on May Day the villagers dance around it.
May Day celebrations have their origins(起源) in the Roman festival of Flora, goddess(女神) of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. So the highlight of the day was the crowning(为…加冕) of the May Queen(女皇), the human replica (模型) of Flora. By tradition she took no part in the games or dancing, but sat like a queen in a flower-decked chair to watch her "subjects".
Ever since 1978, for the convenience of the general public, many May Day activities have now been moved to the new May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. This Monday is a bank holiday, a day off school and work. There are more intereting celebrations on this day.

Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that later they regret they hurt that person’s feelings. The speaker might say: “ I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this happens, the speaker might feel down in the mouth.
Information is spread through the mouth. This is general communication people, like friends talking to each other. “How did you hear about that movie?” Someone might ask. The may be : “Oh, by word of mouth.” A more official way of getting information is through a company or government mouthpiece.
Sometimes, a person has a bad or unpleasant with another person. He might say: “It left a bad taste in my mouth.” Or a person might have a very experience, like being chased by an angry dog. He might say: “I had my in my mouth.”
Some people have lots of money because they were into a very rich family. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. ” And this rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth.
