People in the United States smile a lot. Every one smiles at each other in order to show they are open and friendly. However,in China, smiling is not only an expression of happiness, but also a way to avoid being embarrassed. Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer(嘲笑). For example: When a child falls off from a bike, the adults in China may smile, which is a kind of gentle encouragement and not a kind of impolite laugh.
When a person from the United States might blush(脸红)with embarrassment or become offensive(冒犯的), a Chinese might blush with smile. To avoid serious misunderstanding, people who engage in intercultural communication should be able to understand the meaning of smiling properly.

A.joy and happiness | B.amusement | C.embarrassment | D.fear |
A.they are very happy |
B.they want to show they are friendly |

The wedding itself usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. The wedding party enters the church while the wedding march is played.

When the wedding party is gathered by the altar, the bride and bridegroom exchange vows (誓言).

Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.
The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming.
Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers, especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.
A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plate piled with food.
The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large.Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well.
The food especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架).
The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different style of grilled meat.
One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread.Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled beef.
Although the restaurant is small, the atmosphere and the food is delicious.It is a place that should not be overlooked.
小题1:When first entering the restaurant, one can find that it ________.
A.is splendidly decorated | B.has pleasant smells of kabobs |
C.is crowded with dining tables | D.looks like a common restaurant |

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes , we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine (常规). They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
小题1:The writer of this passage must be ____.
A.an American | B. a Chinese | C.a professor | D.a student |
A.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their family. |
B.Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives. |
C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. |
D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break. |
A.warmly welcomed at the airport | B.offered a ride to his home |
C.treated hospitably at his home | D.treated to dinner in a restaurant |
A.are strict with time | B.don’t take time seriously |
C.don’t know how to use time | D.are willing to spend time for friends |
A.Friendships between Chinese | B.Friendships between Americans |
C.Americans’ hospitality | D.Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendship |
If music has the ability to touch those hidden places we all carry inside, it proves an important tool for the special education teacher. For students with emotional problems, music can help soothe(抚慰) sadness. Consider the child that arrives in class depressed and upset. If music can indeed relax and calm him, he is more likely to focus and participate in class.
Dr. R. Joseph, author of Behavioral Neurology, writes, “It is well recorded that patients with left hemisphere(大脑半球) damage, who may be unable to speak or recognize words, can sing a melody(曲调).”
For this reason, some special education teachers have found it helpful to set their lessons to music. When students cannot understand or remember certain things, singing them helps make it easier.
Nature magazine reported “Music training helps underachievers. In Rhode Island, researchers studied eight public school first grade classes. Half of the classes became ‘text-arts’groups, receiving ongoing music training. After seven months, the students were given a test. The tested group had caught up with their fellow students in reading and surpassed(超过) their classmates in math by 22 percent. In the second year of the project, the tested students widened this even further. Students were also tested on attitude and behavior. Classroom teachers also noted improvement in these areas.”
It seems music does, indeed, play an important role in education. For the special education teacher, this is especially encouraging.
小题1:The first paragraph is mainly about _______.
A.the role of music in education |
B.the importance of music in life |
C.the relationship between music and work results |
D.the relationship between music and behavior |
A.a toy | B.a punishment | C.a medicine | D.a puzzle |
A.are unable to recognize people |
B.can produce some musical sounds |
C.can become special education teachers |
D.might suffer right hemisphere damage too |
A.behaved badly after the study |
B.Didn’t show any difference after the study |
C.had done well in their reading and math before |
D.received certain music education during the study |
A.The meaning of special education. |
B.The history of music education. |
C.The problem in music education. |
D.The role of music in special education |
There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems---the telephone, post office, or transportation---may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.
Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity.
They have to build a new self-image.
Culture shock gives rises to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create and escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
小题1: When people move to a new country, they _________.
A.will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty |
B.have well prepared for the new surroundings |
C.will get used to the culture of the country quickly |
D.will never be familiar with culture of the country |
A.language communication | B.weather conditions and customs |
C.public service systems | D.homesickness |
A.find some people to talk to | B.go outside to have a walk |
C.visit their friends far away | D.stay indoors all the time |
A.protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment | B.develop a strange sense of self-protection |
C.get familiar with new culture | D.return to our own country |
