18.I was born and raised in Minnesota,the USA,but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris.For the last 15years,I've studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace.
While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20managers.At the end,I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whispered to me,"I think there actually were some comments,Erin.Do you mind if I try?"I agreed,but I guessed it a waste of breath.He asked the group again,"Any comments or questions?"
Still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.Gesturing to one of them,he said,"Do you have something to add?"To my amazement,she responded"Yes,thank you."and asked me a very interesting question.My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.
After the session,I asked my colleague,"how do you know that those people had questions?"He hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,"It has to do with how bright their eyes are."
He continued,"In Japan,we don't make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West.So when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.But a few people in the group were looking right at you,and their eyes were bright.That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them."
I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota.Sinc then,I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.

28.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?C
A.Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.
B.The author enjoys traveling around the world.

13.We bet that on cold wintry days,many of you love to stay in your warm home and,every now and then,come out into the kitchen for a snack.Unfortunately,plenty of creepy-crawly critters (爬行生物) like to do the same thing!
    Winter is the time when bugs (虫子) invade your house without an invitation.The season can be tough for such creatures.In winter the air is cold,the ground is hard and many trees have no leaves.So bugs do what they have to do to survive.
    Monarch butterflies head south to warmer climates.Ants crowd in deep underground colonies and eat food they have been storing all year.Many insects go into a deep sleep called diapause.There're different kinds of diapause,but all are similar to hibernation,a time when bigger animals become inactive in the cold.Insects go into an inactive period,too,but it often isn't when the temperature drops.
    They rely on more dependable signals in the environment.For example,many insects can tell how much sunlight there's each day.They use that to tell them when to shut down.Bugs are cold-blooded,meaning that their inside temperature is the same as the outside.They can't move much when it gets below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.So they search for any warm place.
    They're looking for protection.These guys have been doing this for 300 million years,so they don't really know they're coming into your house.The home is a recent event in terms of their evolutionary behavior.They enter through tiny cracks or come in unnoticed on your clothes or shoes.Remember that they may be invading your homes for warmth and food,but they don't care about humans.
31.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?C
A.To point out that humans like to stay at home in winter.
B.To mean that humans and bugs have the same living habits.
C.To mean that bugs will invade the house for their winter.
D.To put forward the idea that bugs are not welcome in winter.
32.According to the text,what is diapause?D
A.It is the same as the animals'hibernation.
B.It often appears in warm areas all the year.
C.It is done to keep bugs active in winter.
D.It is a deep sleep similar to hibernation.
33.What often decides bugs'diapause?C
A.The lower local temperatures.
B.The amounts of sunlight.
C.Kinds of environmental signals.
D.The insects'inside temperature.
34.According to the text,bugs invade humans'homes toC.
A.attack humans                
B.look for enough food
C.seek for protection              
D.show their evolutionary results
35.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.Bugs'life on cold wintry days     
B.Why bugs invade your home in winter?
C.Good relations between humans and bugs  
D.What does diapause mean?
3.Although travelers can try dishes from around China and the globe in well-known food cities like Beijing and Shanghai,it is outside these major metropolises where a world of exciting Chinese cuisine(中国菜) awaits the true foodie(美食家).With this in mind and after three years of living in China and writing about Chinese food,I started a six-month journey with my husband and two daughters.
Here are four of the eight most amazing Chinese food cities I've come across so far.The list is in no particular order.
1.Chengdu,Sichuan Province
Crowned as Asia's first UNESCO City of Gastronomy(美食学) in 2010,Chengdu is best-known for its fiery hot pot and spicy dishes,which are characterized by the use of Sichuan pepper and are usually layered with salty,sour and sweet flavors.There are also dishes that aren't spicy at all,such as beer-braised duck.
Hot pot is as ubiquitous in the city as the smell of chili.At Zigong Delicious Hotpot,the house specialty(招牌菜) tiaoshui wa is a cauldron(大锅) of fiery chili(辣椒) to which vegetables,noodles or other meats can be added.
For a real taste of Sichuan's signature(招牌)pepper,hua jiao,spend a morning at the Chengdu Spice Market where the locals sell and buy it by the sack.
2.Lanzhou,Gansu Province
Synonymous in the minds of food-lovers with hand-pulled beef noodles,Lanzhou also has one of the liveliest street food night markets in China.
Just west of the city center,the buzzing Zhengning Road bazaar(集市)houses more than 100street food stalls.Available is a broad selection of hot and cold dishes with emphasis on local Hui cuisine.
No trip to Lanzhou is complete without feasting on noodles at Wumule Penhui,the 2012winners of Lanzhou's annual pulled noodle competition.The halal restaurant makes noodles spicy enough to satisfy even the most hardened heat-seekers.
3.Guangzhou,Guangdong Province
The birthplace of Cantonese food,Guangzhou is thought by many as the best place to eat in China.The city of 12million has a passionate food culture,with equal excitement reserved for the opening of a hole-in-the-wall congee joint(粥店)and a high-end restaurant.
The local cuisine is characterized by fresh clean flavors(口味),seafood,barbecued meats and the wonderful tradition of yum cha,which is tea drinking accompanied by dumplings and small dishes.
Congee is the way locals love to start their day,and one of the most popular vendors is Ru Xuan Sha Guo Zhou.Here,one can get a bowl of signature seafood congee any hour of the day.
Roast meats are Bing Sheng's most popular order-their roast goose is marinated(腌制)with five-spice,boiled,air-dried,then roasted by a flame oven to give a crisp skin.
For something more home style and removed from the madness of downtown,head to Ji Cun for steamed chicken and simple farmer-style dishes.
4.Shaoxing,Zhejiang Province
This ancient canal city is home to huangjiu,an amber-colored rice wine that's important in Chinese cooking.
Open since 1894,the dining chain is known by almost every Chinese for its appearance in early 20th century novels by Chinese literati Lu Xun.
Xianheng's delicacies(佳肴)include crispy-skinned chicken,smoked red dates in rice wine,beans flavored with fennel(茴香),and crispy bream in rice wine.
Fried fermented(发酵的)tofu is also a local specialty,which is available all over town at small street stalls including one just outside Xianheng.

21.The writer's purpose of the passage is toD.
A.express her preference for fiery hot pot
B.tell readers how to comment on amazing Chinese food cities
C.talk the readers into enjoying the signature food such as hand-pulled noodles
D.share her story and impression on Chinese cuisines and spicy dishes in Chengdu.
22.The underlined word"ubiquitous"can be replaced byB.
A.charming and attractive               B.common and popular
C.smelly and disgusting                 D.fiery and spicy
23.If a fresh clean flavor is to a foodie's taste,which couple of cities is he likely to make a trip to?C
A.Chengdu,Lanzhou                      B.Lanzhou,Guangzhou
C.Guangzhou,Shaoxing                   D.Shaoxing,Chengdu.
