阅读理解。     People smile at times. However, the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different. Depending
on different cultures, smiling can express joy and amusement, but it can also show embarrassment.
     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.  1. We can use smile to express all of the following feelings except ______. A. joy and happiness
B. amusement
C. embarrassment
D. fear 2. People often smile at each other in the United States because ______. A. they are very happy
B. they want to show they are friendly
C. they want to hide their true feelings
D. they want to avoid embarrassment 3. In China, seeing a child falls off a bike, an adult will smile in order to ______.A. laugh at him
B. avoid his own embarrassment
C. avoid embarrassment and encourage the boy
D. show his politeness 4. What is mainly talked about in the passage?A. People smile at times.
B. Smiling can express different feelings depending on different cultures.
C. Americans are more open and friendly than Chinese people.
D. The Chinese people often hide their true feelings.

请从A-F中选择适当的句子填空,补全文章信息      People today in this busy world have lost sight of what true friendship is. I think I would help the world out
a little and tell them what true friends are.    1   Friends have similarities(相似点) but they also have differences. The key to building friendship is not only to expand similarities but also to accept each other"s faults.   2   No
one likes to argue but it is necessary to have a healthy friendship, because if you agree on everything, either you aren"t being true to each other or one of you is trying too hard to please the other. If you feel uncomfortable
around the person, then something isn"t quite right.   3   They have their little angry moments but what"s done
is done and all is forgotten. Why let something that happened in the past ruin your happy friendship in the future.   4   Some people think that you have to know someone really well to become good friends. Trust me, it"s

阅读理解。     Just be happy. Sounds too simplistic, doesn"t it? But, in reality, we can have much more happiness if we
choose to consider things from a positive point of view. Everyone experiences the ups and downs of life,
however, we can make a decision to take advantage of the negative or practice what the old saying says to do: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!"
     It really boils down to your attitude and you have the ability to work your attitude into any shape you like.
Here are some tips:
     ●Ignore those who tell you life is too difficult to be happy. what do they know?
     ●When you awaken each morning, be thankful for another day, even if it"s raining.
     ●Smile at those you meet, even if they don"t return the favor.
     ●Don"t borrow trouble. Each day has enough of its own.
     ●Don"t allow trouble to bury you in its gray depth of sorrow.
     ●Don"t give in to negative thinking. 
     ●Be positive even when others are not. 
     ●Refuse to give up on anything worth having or doing. 
     ●Do something you enjoy each day, even if it"s just a walk in your neighborhood.
     ● Whistle(吹口哨) as you go though the day.
     ●Work at being happy because it"s worth it.
     You"re human, like everyone else, and from time to time you need a little pick-me-up in your decision to
be happy. When you reach that stage, find someone else who has decided to be happy. Join forces with him
and march forward in your decision to be a happy person. Simply speaking, a happy person is not a person in
a certain set of circumstances (环境) but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. Choose today to just
be happy-as much as it depends on you! 1. The amount of happiness depends on _____.A. the ups and downs you"ve experienced
B. what attitude you take towards life
C. how simple a life you manage to live
D. the kind of environment you stay in2. The underlined sentence advises us to _____.A. work hard for a comfortable life
B. drink lemonade when in difficulty
C. make the best of what we have
D. ignore the negative side of life 3. Which of the following does NOT help maintain (保持) your good state of mind? A. Think in advance about future troubles.

阅读理解。     You either have it, or you don"t- a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their
way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
     Scientists say we"re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One
theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being
carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don"t use it, we lose it.
     "Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around. Says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project." However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop
the skills."
     Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of
direction. He makes the following suggestions:
     If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
     If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on
the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
     Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town. Streams, or walls in the
countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks
such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you need never get lost again! 1. Scientists believe that ______. A. some babies are born with a sense of direction
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth 2. What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?A. They never have a sense of direction without maps.
B. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.
C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.
D. They can develop a good sense or direction if they are driven around in a car. 3. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should ______. A. tie it to a tree so as to present it from being stolen.
B. draw a map of the route to help remember where it is.
C. avoid taking the same route when you come back to it.
D. remember something easily recognized on the route.
