Family structure is the core of any culture. A major function of the family is to socialize new members of a culture. As children are raised in a family setting, they learn to become members of the family as well as members of the larger culture. The family provides the model for all other relationships in society. Through theobservations and modeling of the behavior of other family members, children learnabout the family and society including the values of the culture. Familystructure and their inherent relationships and obligations are a major sourceof cultural difference.
The family is the center of most traditional Asians' lives. Many people worry about their families' welfare,reputation, and honor. Asian families are often extended, including severalgenerations related by blood or marriage living in the same home. An Asianperson's misdeeds are not blamed just on the individual but also on the family—includingthe dead ancestors.
Traditional Chinese, among many otherAsians, respect their elders and feel a deep sense of duty toward them.Children repay their parents' sacrifices by being successful and supportingthem in old age. This is accepted as a natural part of life in China. Incontrast, taking care of aged parents is often viewed as tremendous burden inthe United States, where aging and family support are not honored highly.
The Vietnamese family consists of peoplecurrently alive as well as the spirits of the dead and of the as-yet unborn.Any decisions or actions are done from family considerations, not individualdesires. People's behavior is judged on whether it brings shame or pride to thefamily. Vietnamese children are trained to rely on their families, to honorelderly people, and to fear foreigners. Many Vietnamese think that theiractions in this life will influence their status in the next life.
Fathers in traditional Japanese familiesare typically strict and distant. Japanese college students in one study saidthey would tell their fathers just about as much as they would tell a totalstranger. The emotional and communication barrier between children and fathersin Japan appears very strong after children have reached a certain age.
Although there has been much talk about"family values" in the United States, the family is not a usual frameof reference for decisions in U.S. mainstream culture. Family connections arenot so important to most people. Dropping the names of wealthy or famous peoplethe family knows is done in the United States, but it is not viewed positively.More important is a person's own individual "track record" ofpersonal achievement.
Thus, many cultural differences exist infamily structures and values. In some cultures, the family is the center oflife and the main frame of reference for decisions. In other cultures, theindividuals, not the family, is primary. In some cultures, the family'sreputation and honor depend on each person's actions; in other cultures,individuals can act without permanently affecting the family life. Somecultures value old people, while other cultures look down on them.

【题目】William Curry is a serious climate scientist, not an art critic. But he has spent a lot of time on Emanuel Leutze’s famous painting “George Washington Crossing the Delaware,” which describes a boatload of colonial American soldiers making their way to attack English the day after Christmas in 1776. “Most people think these other guys in the boat are rowing, but they are actually pushing the ice away,” says Curry, tapping his finger on the painting. Sure enough, the lead sailor is breaking the frozen river with his boot. “I grew up in the Philadelphia. The place in this painting is 30 minutes away by car. I can tell you, this kind of thing just doesn’t happen anymore.”

But it may again soon. And ice-choked scenes may also return to Europe. The 16th-century painter Pieter’s works, including the 1565 masterpiece “Hunters in the Snow,” make the now-temperate European landscapes look more like Lapland. Such frigid settings were commonplace during a period dating roughly from 1300 to 1850 because much of North America and Europe was in the pain of a little ice age. And now there is increasing evidence that the cold could return. A growing number of scientists believe conditions are right for another lasted cooldown, or small ice age. While no one is predicting an ice sheet like the one that covered the Northern Hemisphere with glaciers about 12,000 years ago, the next cooling trend could drop average temperatures 5 degrees over much of the United States and 10 degrees in the Northeast, northern Europe, and northern Asia.

Political changes since the last ice age could make survival far more difficult for the world’s poor. During previous cooling periods, these people simply picked up and moved south, but that doesn’t work in the modem world, of closed borders. “To the extent the climate change may cause rapid and extensive changes of fortune for those who live off the land, the inability to migrate may remove one of the major safety homelands for pitiful people,” says the report.

1The writer uses paintings in the first paragraph to say

A. impossible future climate change.

B. climate change of the last two centuries.

C. the river doesn’t freeze in winter anymore.

D. how George Washington led his troops across the river.

A. The temperature may drop over much of the Northern Hemisphere.

B. it will be colder than 12,000 years ago.

C. The entire Northern Hemisphere will be covered in ice.

D. Europe will look more like Lapland.

3Why is it difficult for the poor to survive the next age?

A. People don’t live in tribes anymore.

B. Politics are changing too fast today.

C. Climate change causes people live off the land.

D. Migration has become impossible because of closed borders.

4What is the best title of the passage?

A. A New Ice Age.

B. The Effect of Ice Age.

C. Prediction about the Ice Age.

D. Political and Climate Change.

【题目】National Symbols

When many people in the west think of China, the animal that they think of is the dragon. 1Many popular legends tell of how dragons killed brave knights and ate beautiful maidens.

For Chinese people, however, the dragon is not an evil monster. 2The dragon’s main task is to create harmony and bring rain. Dragons are celebrated in art and architecture, and of course the dragon dance is a very popular ritual. Millions of Chinese have the word “long”, meaning dragon, as part of their name.

3Wales, one of the four countries in the UK, has a red dragon proudly displayed on its flag. The only other country in the world with a dragon on its flag is Bhutan, the tiny country, between China and India.

Almost all countries in the world have an animal symbol represent the country, and it is particularly obvious during sports. The English see lions as brave, proud animals and the England football teams have three lions on the front of their football shirts. 4 The national rugby team is more commonly known as the Wallabies, a kind of small kangaroo.

All countries are proud of their symbols, which they feel reflect national characteristics. Recently, a professor claimed that using the dragon as a national symbol could make western countries have a negative view of China. 5As Chinese culture attains its worldwide popularity, people in the west will no doubt want China to keep the dragon too.

A. Australia is famous for kangaroos, of course.

B. There are many other countries to use animal symbols.

C. China isn’t the only country to have the dragon as its symbol.

D. It’s a cultural and spiritual symbol for prosperity and good luck.

E. For them, the dragon is an aggressive monster that breathes fire.

F. The kangaroo is not only loved, but highly respected in Australia.

G. But in an Internet survey, 90% of Chinese people wanted to keep the dragon.
