【题目】 Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, is a lively city that is home to many different types of tourist attractions. In its early stages, the city grew as the agricultural and mining(采矿) industries grew, until it developed into the cultural city that it is today. It is also the third largest city in Australia.

Brisbane is a river city, although close to the coast, with the Brisbane River running through it. It is surrounded by hills and full of bridges. It is also very easy to get to a number of attractions such as the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane.

Brisbane has a number of theatres including the Lyric Theatre, Cremorne Theatre and the Playhouse Theatre which are part of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre in South Bank.

The area of South Bank is popular with visitors and locals especially for its relaxed parkland and manmade beach area which is popular with all ages. During the evening this area is very popular for romantic walks and the many shows.

Another place that is very popular with visitors especially young people is the suburb(郊区) of Fortitude Valley. It is home to the amazing Chinatown, great restaurants, popular nightclubs and bars and so on. It's not a suburb for those who like peace and quiet.

Brisbane is a great place to cycle, with wonderful cycle tracks(自行车道) near and along the river. If you get tired along the way, you can always get on a bus or the City Cat (central area transport service). You can take a bus with your bike. But you'd better avoid the time of day when most people are traveling to or from work, because you won't be allowed on with a bike at that time.

Brisbane offers plenty of things to do with activities and tours such as hot air ballooning, rock climbing, and even climbing the Brisbane Story Bridge. For more information about Brisbane tours, please click here.

In the past five years, there had been a lot of new buildings in my city. As the result, parks, farms and open spaces have been destroyed.

【题目】 There are many differences in the way different cultures raise kids. International visitors can’t help but notice the fact that children are special in China. However, the way some Chinese people treat these very special kids may shock some foreign visitors.

When I told a Chinese mother her child was beautiful, I was nonplussed when she replied, “ No, she’s not; she’s ugly.” Since that time I have heard many similar comments, including, “No, he’s not bright; he’s stupid.” This is a huge cultural difference that needs to be understood when you talk about kids with your international visitors.

Someone explained it to me, “ We Chinese don’t want to appear too proud.” I’m sure there are other people in the world who feel the same way, but most people in my country would consider you a terrible parent if you said your kid was stupid or ugly. They would think you were destroying the child’s self-confidence. When we Americans say something good about our child we don’t think we are being proud because we are saying it about the child, not about ourselves. In this way, we separate the child from the parents as two different persons.

You may think I sound too proud when I freely say to another westerner: “ My daughter is smart and pretty.” Of course, I still have to teach her not to be proud, but I can be proud of her. It’s just the way she was made, and I’m thankful for that. So, in the US when we say something nice about our own kids, it is not considered being too proud but rather, being thankful and being a good parent.

【1】What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.HopefulB.Worried

C.RegretfulD.Surprised

【2】When US parents praise their child in front of others, they _____

A.often feel proud of themselvesB.try to build the kid’s confidence

C.just say something nice about the kidD.have similar feelings as Chinese parents

【3】What can we infer about the author?

A.He is from the US.B.He is visiting America

C.He is a Chinese parent.D.He is an expert in education.

【4】What is mainly discussed in the text?

A.How different cultures in the world raise kids.

B.How Chinese and US parents talk about kids.

C.How US parents feel about themselves.

D.How different countries treat kids.
