Do people in your country hug in the street? In some countries, it is common for people to show affection(亲密) in public places. In the United States, for example, we often see couples hold hands, hug and kiss on the street, in the park, in the restaurant and even on trains and buses. But in some other countries, people never show affection in public places because their customs don’t permit this, for example, in Korea and China. So, when Korean and Chinese people visit the United States, they sometimes feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss on the street.
In some countries, friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries, female friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia, male friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most countries, men don’t kiss or hug when they greet each other. They usually shake hands or pat each other on the back. People around the world are different in the amount, manner and situation in which they touch each other.
67. The main idea of this passage is ____.
A. the custom in Korea and China are exactly the same.
B. Koreans and Americans can never understand each other.
C. South Americans are more friendly than North Americans
D. Different countries permit different amounts of touching in public
68. Chinese and Korean feel surprised to see Americans hug and kiss on the street because ____.
A. they never hug or kiss
B. they themselves are polite

A. Chinese people often kiss on the street.
B. In all countries public affection is permitted.

举一反三

Wily is it that students in less popular majors sometimes find it easier to get a job? Simple. It’s because they are out there in the “blue ocean"，a relatively untouched area.
The term was created by Chan Kim and Renee Manborgne, two professors
ho use it to describe less crowded parts of business and industry with little or not completion. It contrasts with the “red ocean", which is already saturated, competitive, and crowded with people or companies providing the same services or producing the same goods.
According to these two authors，the primary goal of business is to enter the “blue ocean" or create a new market. This is done by creating what no one else has. Business must come up with creative things that are useful and affordable and reduce unnecessary costs. So customers get what they want for less and sellers get a higher return on their investment. When these two are combined，it’s a catalyst(催化剂)for the blue ocean market.
McDonald’s is a popular example. Traditional restaurants have waiters，table settings，men us，and a certain type of service. McDonald’s，however，was different. It did away entirely with waiters and table service，and kept the menu limited.
But in its number of locations，speed，overall quality and child friendliness. McD0naid"s did far better than traditional restaurants. In this sense，one can say that McDonald’s was a totally different concept in eating out. It met the blue ocean demand.
63. According to Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne，“blue ocean” means    .
A. crowded parts of business and industry with little competition
B. new markets which are full of competition    .
C. new companies offering different services from old ones
D. certain untouched markets with few competitors
64. The underlined word "saturated” in Para. 2 probably means“         ”.
A. carry out according to an unusual method      B. arrange in advance
C. be unable to take any more                D. be different from the old market
65. McDonald’s success lies in         .
A. its being different from traditional restaurants
B. inventing a unique business with few competitors
C. its advanced operation and management
D. its best overall quality and services
66. For a website providing information and services for new mothers，finding the “blue ocean" means         . ·
A. offering something other websites don’t have
B. offering the best information and services
C. creating a new market to help the website stand out
D. looking for a unique position in the marketplace

Ever since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving comments from other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager．We’ve heard everything from，“Sure she’s a good kid，but just wait，now that she’s teenager…”to the ever inspiring，“Well，all kids are rotten when they are teenagers，just try to go through it the best way you can．”What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters．
I know that teenagers can be moody（闷闷不乐）and difficult at times，but I’m 38 and I can also be difficult and moody．We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care
for them and that there are opportunities that wait for them．However, at the very point they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly（不赞成），just waiting for them to make mistake．“just like we knew they would．”We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs，yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration，demonstrating（示范）our respect for them．
I have，at times been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person，the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For example，a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside US．I must admit that my first thought was，“perfect，there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner．”I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved．quiet and left a nice tip for the waitress．Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were．
Many of the people who，perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappy about the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unless We give them something better to go after, we really shouldn’t complain．
66．When their children reach their teens，parents usually expect_________．
A．trouble B．sympathy
C．congratulations D．inspiring comments
67．In the author’s opinion，the trouble with parents is that________．
A．they are too watchful of their teenage children
B．they are too concerned about their children’s future
C．they fail to treat teenagers with enough kindness and respect
D．they speak ill of their children within their hearing
68．When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was that__________．
A．they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinner
B．something interesting was going to happen over dinner
C．her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruined
D．she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise
69．What does the author think of the two teenage boys?
A．They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle．
B．They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair．
C．They’re fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair．
D．They will respect you if you respect them．
70．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sports starts．
B．If our children admire pop singers and sports starts，it is the parents who are to blame．
C．Pop singers and sports stars should not be heroes of our children．
D．Parents should set a good example for their children to follow．

New York Times---( DINITIA SMITH )Tomorrow is the 433d anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth. A recent survey shows that more people are watching him, reading him and studying him than ever before.
Consider the recent yearly conference of the Shakespeare Association of America in Washington, where more than 600 people who study or admire Shakespeare from 18 countries took in topics like ‘‘Whither Attribution Studies,’’ ‘‘Unpopular Shakespeare’’ and ‘‘Sex Me Here,’’ a talk on breast-feeding and Lady Macbeth.
‘‘The national media is saying that fewer students’ taking Shakespeare,’’ Barbara Mowat, the editor of The Shakespeare Quarterly, observed in a speech at the conference. ‘‘But Shakespeare is thriving.’’ The association’s membership has increased by a third since 1990.
The Shakespeare business is so good these days that W. W. Norton is introducing a huge new collections of the plays into the already crowded field just in time for tomorrow’s birthday anniversary. Priced at $44.95, ‘‘The Norton Shakespeare: Based on the Oxford Edition’’ runs for 3,420 pages, offering introductions, illustrations and notes and three versions(版本) of ‘‘King Lear.’’
Today, movies and videos have made the plays even more accessible. Last year, ‘‘William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet’’ was No. 1 at the box office when it opened, and it grossed nearly $50 million. In New York in January, crowds lined up in the freezing cold to see Kenneth Branagh’s four-hour ‘‘Hamlet.’’ The students select a scene and then have a violent discussion about it.’’ Influenced by films, professors are increasingly teaching students by having them perform the plays.

A．To celebrate Shakespeare’s 433d birth day only.

B．To watch some plays by Shakespeare as planned.

C．To celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday and study his works.

D．To discuss how to teach students using Shakespeare’s plays.

小题2:What does the underlined word “ field” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

C. The birthday anniversary. D. The Shakespeare business.

小题4:What does the author want to prove by using so many examples about Shakespeare?
