阅读理解。     Kong Zi, also called Confucius (551-479 B.C), and Socrates (469-399 B. C) lived only a hundred years
apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look
at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas
in turn,shaped their societies.
     Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars un Greece than in China. The
Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban
environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical than Confucius. Unlike Confucius,
Socrates was not asked by rules how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic,
focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised
those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service.
     Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:"Do not do to others what you
would not want others to do to you." He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some bad more
potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and
thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that the superior class should rule
the inferior (下层的) classes.
     For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius,
however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important
than political relations. Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes. 1. Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?A. Socrates and Confucius had much in common.
B. Confucius had much influence on Socrates" ideas.
C. The societies ware influenced by the philosophers" ideas.
D. There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece. 2. Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that _____. A. all men were equal when they were born
B. the lower classed should be ruled by the upper class
C. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D. people should not ask others to do what they did not want to 3. What made some people different from others according to Confucius? A. Family.
B. Potential.
C. Knowledge.
D. Community. 4. This passage is organized in the pattern of _____. A. time and events
B. comparison and contrast
C. cause and effect
D. definition and classification

     Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!
     In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince"s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy), was sold for
$ 1, 248, 000.
    Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called "found photographs"-a
loose term given to everything from discarded (丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements
or amateur photographs from a stranger"s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes
"basically everything is worth looking at", has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images
since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people
with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.
     Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs.
One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to
his car to find under his wiper (雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else:"Why"s your car HERE at HER
place?" The note became the starting point for Rothbard"s addictive publication, which features found
photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer.
     The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is:
can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists,
such Richard Prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this
photograph? It"s anyone"s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found
photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why
is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our
lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we"ve gone?
    In the absence of established facts, the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity
to wander freely. That, above all, is why they are so fascinating.

1. The first paragraph of the passage is used to _____.

A. remind readers of found photographs
B. advise reader to start a new kind of business
C. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa
D. show readers the value of found photographs

2. According to the passage, Joachim Schmid _____.

A. is fond of collecting family life photographs
B. found a complaining not under his car wiper
C. is working for several self-published magazines
D. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs

3. The underlined word "them" in Para 4 refers to _____.

A. the readers
B. the editors
C. the found photographs
D. the self-published magazines

4. By asking a series of questions in Para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that _____.

A. memory of the past is very important to people
B. found photographs allow people to think freely
C. the back-story of found photographs is puzzling
D. the real value of found photographs is questionable

5. The author"s attitude towards found photographs can be described as _____.

A. critical
B. doubtful
C. optimistic
D. satisfied

     Every country has its own culture.
     Even though each country uses doors, doors may have   1   functions and purposes which lead to   2
differences.
     When I first to came to America, I noticed that a public building had two different   3   and they had
distinct functions. You have to push the door with the word "PUSH" to go out of the building and to pull the
door with the word "PULL" to   4   the building. This was new to me, because we use the   5   door in South
Korea. For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed.
     The way of using school bus doors was also   6   to me. I used to take the school bus to closes. The
school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back doom,   7   who were getting off the bus
should get off first, and students who were getting on should get on   8 . in South Korea, we do not need to
wait for people to get off. One morning I hurried to the bus, and when the bus doors opened, I   9   tried to
get on the school bus through the front door. All the students around looked at me. I was totally  10 , and my
face went red.

When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president"s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton"s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam"s wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs. Sohn. President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan. In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles (使困惑) English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil"s parents. They become puzzled about the student"s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures. Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband"s name after the word de (of). This affects (影响) how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father"s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement. Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don"t always think that a married woman uses her husband"s last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒), Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.

Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people"s mind to another culture or race. People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own. "Most local stories are based on a larger theme," American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, "Cinderella (灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world." Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoner too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don"t like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. "For every advance in business," she says, "there is a greater need for communication." Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says. Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says. "I learned how people used stories to spread their culture," she says, "What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody"s story."
