signals(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 cafes 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; 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 name
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
B. By accepting different babits
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

see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.
There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds steams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers,
lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor
is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾)above the water. Water vapor also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮湿)in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.
B. Water vapor
C. How rain forms
D. Water ,vapor, rain
B. Three
C. Four
D. Five
B. how good your eyes are
C. in which way water is evaporated
D. climate or weather
B. there is more water vapor in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics
C. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapor
D. the amount of water vapor in the air depends on how often it rains

you forgot yours on the bus.

the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the opposite, just
as the cook has to undergo a particular training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his
desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is-schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication.
You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more
rewarding.
There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your
business or social writing for you, for money. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have
the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than
a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it
ourselves.
We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to
put words to papers. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and
reports put into mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figures must be extremely large. What is more,
everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read, from first word to last,
not just thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" files or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we
bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.
C. both are necessary to lifeD. both take a long time to prepare
B. A good writer should have his own way of writing.
C. A good writer should learn to write all kinds of articles.
D. The more efforts one makes, the more money one can earn.
B. to attract others to read
C. to do daily reports easily
D. to become good secretaries
B. introduce and describe
C. explain and persuade
D. interest and inform
Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to take part in sports. there
are team sports, such as baseball, basketball, and football. There are individual sports, also, such as golf
and swimming. In addition hiking, fishing, skiing, and mountain climbing have a great attraction for people who like to be outdoors.
Not everyone who enjoys sports events likes to take part in them. Many people prefer to be onlookers, either watching them on television, or listening to them on the radio. When there is an important baseball game or boxing match it is almost impossible to get tickets; everyone wants to attend.
Chess, card-playing, and dancing are forms of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people. It doesn"t
matter whether we play a fast game of ping-pong, concentrate over the bridge table, or go walking through the woods on a brisk autumn afternoon. It is important for every one to relax from time to time and enjoy
some form of recreation.
C. creating somethingD. joy and happiness
common people except______.
B. playing card
C. going out for fishing
D. boxing match
B. All of us need recreation in our lives if we cannot work all the time.
C. Sometimes those who enjoy sports events like to take part in them, too.
D. It is almost impossible for everyone who wants to watch an important baseball to get a ticket.
"home", but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the
names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that
these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their
original countries and have become "American" is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more
often a kind of "side-by-side" living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many
of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives-such as in schools, business, and sports-but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially
and at home. This living "side-by-side" has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause
disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another.
however, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from
other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in
America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups, or newspapers.
B. they settle there now
C. they want to make their home there
D. they like that land very much
B. to keep their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areas
C. the groups of people who live nearby
D. that they get closer to American society
B. live in a kind of "side-by-side" society
C. keep their own customs and habits firmly
D. make no choice to accept American customs
B. "Side-by-side" living style is not suitable.
C. They face the society they are not familiar with.
D. The advantages coming from the variety of cultures make life in America colorful.
B. Different Customs and Habits.
C. Home for the People.
D. "Side-by-side" Living Style in America.
