1.______
     Culture consists of all shaped products of human society. This means not only such materials things as
cities, organizations and schools, but also non-material things such as ideas, customs, family patterns, and
languages. Putting it simply, culture refers to the entire way of life of a society, "the ways of people".
2.______
     Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Some social scientists consider it the
keystone of culture. Without language, the maintaining of culture would not be possible. On the other hand,
language is shaped and influenced by culture. In broadest scene, language is the symbolic representation of
a people and it comprises their historical and cultural backgrounds as well as their approach to life and their
ways of living and thinking.
3.______
     We should not go further into the relationship between language and culture. What we need to be stressed
is that the two interact, and that understanding of one requires understanding of the other. Language carries
culture and culture gives language characteristics. There is no language living without culture or culture without
language.
4.______
     Social scientists tell us that cultures differ from one another, that is to say, each culture is unique. As
cultures are diverse, languages are diverse. It is only natural that with differences in cultures and differences
in languages, difficulties often arise in communicating between cultures and across cultures. Thus
understanding is not always easy.
5.______
     Learning a foreign language well means more than merely mastering the pronunciation, grammar, words
and idioms. It also means learning to see the world as speakers of that language see it. Learning the ways in
which their language reflects the ideas, customs and behaviors of their society, learning to understand "their
language of the mind." Learning a language, in fact, is inseparatable from learning its culture.
A. Understanding is not always easy due to diversity of both culture and language.
B. Learn its culture when learning the language.
C. The close relationship between language and culture.
D. What is culture?
E. Culture and language are interactive and unseparated.
F. The important role that language plays in culture.

     Weddings are so important in China that couples are willing to fork out about 20 times their monthly
income on getting hitched and everything that comes with it.
     China's newly-weds in cities spend 126,600 Yuan (16,600 U.S. dollars) on average in 2006 when getting
hitched, Thursday's Chongqing Youth Daily reported, citing a recent survey by the Ministry of Commerce.
     An analysis of 60,000 couples living in cities showed that about 64 percent of the spending went on house
decoration, furniture and household appliances and the rest was spent on the wedding, such as the ceremony,
photography, wedding dresses and feast.
     The survey said the wedding expenditure was only a small share of the overall marriage cost as most
Chinese young couples in the cities tended to buy an apartment and a car before tying the knot.
     The survey said that about 81.6 percent of the newly-weds admitted that they had got economic support
from parents as their monthly income on average was only about 6,240 yuan.
     The survey also showed that about 88.4 percent of the newly-weds chose having wedding photography
as a priority and 78.74 chose hosting a wedding banquet.
     In contrast, young couples in the countryside spent about 40,000 yuan on average on marriage-related
issues, less than one third of their city peers, according to the report.
     About 8.49 million couples got married in China in 2006.

Back to School: Why Grit(毅力) Is More Important than Good Grades?
       The back-to-school season is upon us, and once again, parents across the country have loaded their kids’ backpacks up with snack packs and school supplies. It’s a good moment to reflect on what else we should be giving our kids as they head off to school.

American parents are feeling particularly anxious about that question this year. The educational process feels more than ever like a race, one that starts in pre-preschool and doesn’t end until your child is admitted to the perfect college. Most parents are more worried than they need to be about their children’s grades, test scores and IQ. And what we don’t think about enough is how to help our children build their character—how to help them develop skills like perseverance, grit, optimism, conscientiousness, and self-control, which together do more to determine success than S.A.T. scores or I.Q.

There is growing evidence that our anxiety about our children’s school performance may actually be holding them back from learning some of these valuable skills. If you’re concerned only with a child’s G.P.A., then you will likely choose to minimize the challenges the child faces in school. With real challenge comes the risk of real failure. And in a competitive academic environment, the idea of failure can be very scary, to students and parents alike.

But experiencing failure is a critical part of building character. Recent research by a team of psychologists found that adults who had experienced little or no failure growing up were actually less happy and confident than those who had experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood. “Overcoming those obstacles,” the researchers assumed, “could teach effective coping skills, help engage social support networks, create a sense of mastery over past adversity, and foster beliefs in the ability to cope successfully in the future.”

By contrast, when we protect our children from every possible failure—when we call their teachers to get an extension on a paper; when we urge them to choose only those subjects they’re good at—we are denying them those same character-building experiences. As the psychologists Madeline Levine and Dan Kindlon have written, that can lead to difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood, when overprotected young people finally confront real problems on their own and don’t know how to overcome them.

In the classroom and outside of it, American parents need to encourage children to take chances, to challenge themselves, to risk failure. In the meantime, giving our kids room to fail may be one of the best ways we can help them succeed.
