Don’t watch too much TV, your eyes will hurt.
A.and B.but C.or D.so
When I was very young, I wanted to become a veterinarian (兽医) one day, because I loved animals very much, especially dogs. But it was a pity that there was no room in my adult life for a dog. Then, last year, I could not believe that I developed cancer (癌症). I wanted to keep a dog, but I knew my illness made it impossible for me to keep one. In early September to my surprise, my doctor told me that I could keep a pet as my friend, because my immune system (免疫系统) was strong to keep a pet.
The same day I went to an animal market with my friends. When I saw a 9-week-old dog with big brown eyes, nice ears and white fur all over the body, I took him home. I called him Oscar. I’m happy these days since Oscar came into my life. My new favourite pastime is to watch him sleep, eat and run. And I have been spending more time caring about him, taking long walks with him in the park.
Now I still have the physical (身体的) examination once a week at the hospital. But my illness has taken a turn for the better with the company (陪伴) of a dog. My immune system getting stronger, my doctor tells me. Thanks to Oscar, my life has changed a lot.

Fluency in another language is a dream of a newcomer to another country. Besides, understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language. Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time.
Sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first step of learning. It usually involves things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs.
To really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first step. This is a challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call"culture" is hard to see.
Culture is like an iceberg. Imagine in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. The only part of the iceberg that you see is the top. You don't see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. It is easy to forget that it is there. Most of the iceberg is deep in the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep in the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people.
When you meet someone from another culture, certain culture differences are obvious: You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent. You see different foods, clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people. You watch new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting. These differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. They can be seen easily and quickly.
The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions (设想)， communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. The hidden part of culture influences much of a person’s way of thinking and communicating. It is the meaning behind his or her verbal and nonverbal language. Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves understanding the hidden part of culture.
1.To really understand another culture, people should .
A.learn the rules of language B.learn the hidden culture
C.visit some local people D.live with some local people
2.Which of the following does the writer agree?
A.Communication styles can be easily seen and learned
B.Language learning is more important than culture learning
C.Learning about culture is not easy and may take a long time
D.People usually learn a culture after a few weeks or months.
3.The passage is mainly about .
A.learning about culture. B.learning about people
C.the hidden part of the iceberg D.fluency in another language
Of all the subjects, I think physics is .
A.difficult B.most difficult C.more difficult D.the most difficult
