The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles(风格). It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?

First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (鬈曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art.

On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother' s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking at this painting ! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.

68. The aim of the mother' s plan was to _________.

A. take them to visit the museum B. introduce them to the world of art

C. ask them to read about artists D. show them different painting styles

69. What was the writer' s experience in the museum before the last visit?

A. She came to feel her mother' s love.

B. She liked many paintings.

C. She hardly enjoyed herself.

D. She could understand the pictures of fat babies.

70. What made the writer go through a change that summer?

A. One of Mary's paintings. B. A strange way of painting.

C. Artists in the Middle Ages. D. Her mother' s instruction.

71. From the text, we can see _________.

A. the importance of curiosity B. the effect of art

C. the value of learning D. the power of family education

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.

Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or caf6s rather than at the office.

Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

72. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _______.

A. develop closer relations

B. share the same culture

C. get to know each other

D. keep each other company

73. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________.

A. the English prefer to make long speeches

B. too many words are of no use

C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature

D. even talk and silence can be culturally different

74. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?

A. By sharing different ways of life.

B. By accepting different habits.

C. By recognizing different values.

D. By speaking each other' s languages.

75. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Multicultural Environment.

B. Cross-Cultural Differences.

C. How to Understand Each Other.

D. How to Build Up a Relationship.
