The most important reasons for such a visit is to realize how our ancestors (祖先) battled nature with
the basic tools they had. They had only basic ways of creating light, and yet they found a way of using
this simple technology in isolated (孤零零的) places to save ships from hitting rocks.
Secondly, visiting lighthouses will help us to understand the lives of lighthouse keepers. By their very
nature, lighthouses were built on some rocks of cliffs. Thus, the lighthouse keepers often lived lonely lives.
To walk around their small home, and imagine the angry storm outside beating against the walls, is to take
a step towards understanding the lives they had.
The reasons for a visit to a lighthouse are not all so backward-looking in time. It is true that lighthouses
were built in out-of-the-way places. But on a pleasant sunny summer day, this very isolation has a natural
beauty that many people will love to experience. Therefore, with the gentle waves touching all round the
lighthouse, the visitor is likely to think it is a world preferable to the busy and noisy modern life.
Another reason for considering a visit is that the lighthouses themselves can be very attractive buildings.
Mankind could often not be content just to put up a basic structure, but felt the need, even in such an isolated
place, to build with an artistic touch. The result is a view for tired eyes to enjoy.
Finally, lighthouses have a romantic attraction, summed up by the image of the oil-skin coated keeper
climbing his winding stairs to take care of the light to warn ships and save lives.
B. To look for the tools used by our ancestors.
C. To experience the natural beauty of a lighthouse.
D. To learn about the living condition of lighthouse keepers.
B. dangerous
C. ancient
D. secret
B. to guide passing ships
C. to give a pleasant sight
D. to remember lighthouse keepers
B. Four
C. Five
D. Six

their farms to cities to seek jobs in industry, peasant women had to take over the sowing, growing, and
harvesting of the fields as well as caring for cattle and raising their children. When women also moved
to the cities in search of work, they found that it was increasingly. Separated by sex and that employment
opportunities for women were limited to the lower-paid jobs. Later in the century, women in industry
gathered mainly in cloth-making factories, though some worked in mining or took similarly difficult and tiring
jobs.
In the 1800s, service work also absorbed (吸纳) a great number of women who arrived in the cities from
the country. Young women especially took jobs as servants in middle-class and upper-class homes; and as
more and more men were drawn into industry, homestic service (家庭服务) because increasingly a female
job. In the second half of the century, however, chances of other service work also opened up to women,
from sales jobs in shops to teaching and nursing. These jobs came to be done mainly by women and low paid.
For thousands of years, when almost all work was done on the family farm or in the family firm
(家庭作坊),home and workplace had been the same, In these cases, women could do farm work or hand
work, and perform home duties such as child care and preparation of meals at the same time, Along with the
development of industry, the central workplace, however, such as the factory and the department store,
separated home from work, Faced with the necessity for women to choose between home and workplace,
Western society began to give particular attention to the role of women as homemakers with more energy
than ever before.

study, and other activities to check your phone for messages? Are you anxious and restless if you are separated
from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from
texting too much?
[2] If _____, then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who
is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, which
takes precedence (优先) over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if
messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from
emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely
to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.
[3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance.
Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone
behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and
family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships
by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure
of true communication.

ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings,
ships and other vehicles related to a country.
The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive (原始的) artifact. It is,rather, the product
of thousands of years" development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier
served to show wind direction.
Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses
or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People"s food supplies were similarly valuable. Even after they
had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they
feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from
another.
Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable
than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with
heavenly power was therefore reasonable.
Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图腾) before carrying them
into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and
ancestors represented by the totems themselves.
These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was
unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This
practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread
over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other
ancestor of the national flag.
B. Power of the National Flag
C. Types of Flags
D. Uses of Flags
B. likely to be protected
C. easy to damage
D. difficult to find
B. they could bring good luck to fighters
C. they were handed down by the ancestors
D. they were believed to stand for natural forces
B. He believes it was made in Egypt.
C. He thinks it came from China.
D. He doubts where it started.
B. The second ancestor of the national flag.
C. The use of modern flags in Europe.
D. The importance of modern flags.
signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a
relationship.
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 caf6s 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 environment (多元文化环境) will offer
a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other
D. keep each other company
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
B. By accepting different habits.
C. By recognizing different values.
D. By speaking each other"s languages.
B. Cross-Cultural Differences.
C. How to Understand Each Other.
D. How to Build Up a Relationship.
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.
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.
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
B. Potential.
C. Knowledge.
D. Community.
B. comparison and contrast
C. cause and effect
D. definition and classification
