fork,but that"s only superficial. Besides,in decent restaurants,you can always ask for a pair of knife
and fork,if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West,you
have your own plate of food,while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares.
If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you"re in the country for
the first time,he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes,to be followed by the main courses
of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to
be followed by staple food ranging from rice,noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to
go with other dishes,you should say so in good time,for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple
food at last or have none of them at all.
Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts
like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners,there are always "public" chopsticks
and spoons for this purpose,but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine
friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it,just leave the food in
the plate.
People in China tend to over-order food,for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed.
When you have had enough,just say so. Or you will always overeat!
B. On Chinese dinner table,chopsticks replace knife and fork.
C. You"re treated to a formal dinner for the first time.
D. The host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
a. a set of four cold dishes.
b. staple food such as rice,noodle or dumplings.
c. the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.
d. serving soup.
B. cabd

B.Chinese think it polite to put food into the plated of the guests with their own chopsticks.

D. Chinese all think it impolite for guests to ask for a pair of knife and fork.
B. you should say so happily
C. you"d better say so
D. you should say so kindly.
B. share the food together
C. show the genuine friendship and politeness

confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk.
Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to
be confident as an international student and instructor. As a student, being confident means you
should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.
Don"t mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at
all. What"s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not
have your own opinion on the issue-this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what
he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just
bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when
my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches.
(The course I"m teaching here is Public speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it
won"t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate
program.
B. be polite and friendly
C. have more discussions with them
D. understand what they think about
B. tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C. shows no interest in the course
D. is considered to have no opinion of his own
B. the students bargain with him
C. he pretends to know what he doesn"t
D. he has to give a speech
B. modesty doesn"t help you much in America
C. Americans also like modest people
D. modesty can help you through an American graduate program
B. The writer teaches in Europe for a living.
C. Students are encouraged to present simple questions.
D. One"s ignorance will give away in time.
widely accepted as social duty and responsibility. Because gift-giving is such an important social
aspect of Japanese life. It"s important to be aware of some key factors.
Devalue the gifts you give. The important thing is to act and seem modest. You don"t
want the receiver to think that you are arrogant or proud. Denigrate(贬低) your gift as much as
possible. It doesn"t matter if the label on the box bears the symbol for a famous brand. The
Japanese value the appearance of a modest gift-giver who tries to stay away from praise.
Praise the gift you receive. Although praising may seem obvious, overpraising the gift is
the key. It"s also important to praise the fine taste of the gift-giver in making that particular choice
for you. And don"t forget to give a thousand and one thanks.
Unless you are urged to do so. And when you do, you must take the utmost care in
unwrapping it. Don"t look eager, and be careful that you don"t tear the paper or cut the ribbon.
After observing, praising, and thanking, be sure to rewrap the gift as if it had never been opened.
Try to appear as if you take great pride in the value of the gift.
Choose gifts with practical value. In general, don"t buy things such as ornaments, vases,
and kitchenware; it"s already assumed that everyone has these things. To do so may suggest that
you don"t approve of the other person"s taste. Also, most Japanese houses are very small and
don"t have extra space for useless junk.
2. Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words. (no more than 6 words)
3. List three kinds of things you"d better not buy for a Japanese friend.

③

be 1 and damaged? Judging from an experiment in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to
discover what language a child would speak if a baby heard no mother 2 , the experimenter
told the nurses to keep silent.
All the 3 died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here.
What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life 4 , the
capacity to survive is seriously affected.
Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by the experimenter. 5 , some children are
still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is 6 to the signals of
the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected,
the ideal time for 7 skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to
sing and to fly rapidly at right time, but the process is slow and hard once the 8 stage has passed.
Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a 9 age, but there are
cases where speech has started 10 in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve
weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words
and understand simple 11 ; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three
he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from
that of his parents in style 12 grammar.
Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the 13 to speak. What is special about
man"s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to 14
the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern "toy - bear". And even more 15 is the
young brain"s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyse,
to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.

| Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don"t!". But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, though the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed. The hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chances of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television. Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of Course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon! | |||

| A. actors are very unusual people B. the course at the drama school lasts two years C. acting is really a hard job D. there are already too many actors | |||
| 2. According to the context, the sentence "But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy" at the end of the first paragraph means ______. | |||
| A. they don"t care if their job is hard B. they like the stage naturally C. they are born happy D. they are easily satisfied | |||
| 3. Connie Pratt soon became a famous actress after ______. | |||
| A. learning some lessons about the art of speaking B. playing her part in the "Blue Colored Moon" C. successfully matching the most famous actors D. acting a leading part with a most famous actor at that time | |||
| 4. The phrase "once in a blue moon" in last line means ______. | |||
