     Bardithch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event.
There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers
were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.
     Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (嘟囔声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak.
Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to
listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work
harder than all the other teachers combined.
     Then Ms. Yates started to speak:
     "I can't tell you how pleased I'm to be here. I haven't seen many of you since your graduation, but I
have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large
collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven't appeared in person, I have
attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination. "
     Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:
     "It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful
in your chosen path."
     "There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the
bottom of my heart."
     There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The
clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar (呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and
models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long
forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

　　“Privacy” is translated as“yin si”in Chinese. Traditionally, in the Chinese mind,“yin si”is associated with that which is closed or unfair. If someone is said to have“yin si”, meddlers (好事者) will be attracted to pry(打探)into his or her affairs. So people always state that they don't have“yin si”.

　　On the contrary, Americans often declare their intention to protect their privacy. Their understanding of privacy is that others have no right to pry into things which belong to themselves alone and have nothing to do with others. One who is too curious and who spreads rumors is said to violate the right to privacy.

　　In the evening, Sonia and I went to a bar for dinner. In China, when people mention bars, something bad usually comes to mind. But here, the bar was a quiet and tastefully laid out place. People spoke quite softly, afraid of interrupting their neighbors, and sat face to face as they drank, sometimes three or five persons sitting together.

　　This sort of atmosphere was totally different from my preconception(传统观念), so I wanted to take a picture. Sonia stopped me:“Don't you see these people are pouring out their hearts? Maybe they are colleagues, friends, secret lovers. They came here looking for a peaceful place free from interruption by others. They wouldn't want to leave any trace of their having come here. So taking their pictures would be a serious violation of their right to privacy.”

　　Is there privacy between husband and wife? One of Sonia's friends married a talented Chinese man, but recently she became so angry that she wanted a divorce(离婚). The reason was that her husband had opened one of her letters and looked through her purse. The husband didn't realize that this is not tolerated in the U.S. He thought that being a couple was like being one person; why couldn't he see the letter or the contents of the purse? Truly, everyone, even those living as a couple, needs room--not only in three-dimensional(三维) space, but in the heart.

1．What is the main idea of the text?

[　　]

A．The understanding of“privacy”is different in China and America.

B．There is privacy between husband and wife in America.

C．Everyone has the right to privacy.

D．Everyone in every country needs room for himself.

[　　]

A．she thought her husband was not clever enough

B．her husband always opened her letters

C．her husband always looked through her purse

D．her husband didn't respect her right to privacy

4．Which of the following statements is NOT the Americans' understanding of privacy?

[　　]

A．Privacy is connected with something that is unfair and bad.

B．Other people have no right to pry into his or her affairs.

C．There is privacy even between couples.

D．The right to privacy shouldn't be violated by others.

[　　]

A．declaring that we have privacy

B．going to a bar with friends

C．asking your friends about their marriage

D．taking pictures in a national park

　　A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man－the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands．While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort．

　　This attitude toward manual(体力的)labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life．One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously(豪华地)furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily got from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery．On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes．A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house．His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing．The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education．

On the snowy Tibet plateau, traditional elements have been mingled with modern life -- youths dressed in the latest fashion dancing "Guozhuang," office-ladies playing conventional Tibetan music while driving to work and Tibetan girls wearing superb folk costume displaying their nice figures.
"I used to go shopping or bar-hopping with my friends after work. But now I don't think it is advisable to continue following that living style," said Pasang, a young Tibetan girl who practices Yoga everyday at a fitness club in the eastern suburbs of Lhasa city.
Today, the conception to live in a healthy way has become more popular in Tibet's general public.
When the night falls, crowds of aged citizens dancing "Guozhuang," a traditional Tibetan group dance, to vigorous folk music can be seen in many residential communities. Among them, Pasang's mother Tseden Wangmo, 63, is undoubtedly one of the enthusiasts in such an outdoor team activity: "I like dancing Guozhuang very much, for it can make my body strong, bring me good mood and carry forward Tibetan ethnic culture as well."
Different from their elder generations, a swarm of teenagers play skateboard or roller-skating shuttle among groups of strollers on the squares in front of the Potala Palace and Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama's permanent residence.
The stylish dress, colored hairs, an earring on a single ear or an obscure tattoo -- all these signals have highlighted Tibet's younger generation's personality and their view on fashion.
Lhakpa Tashi, 16, will become a high-school student in the second half year. This adolescent is a typical fan at various kinds of modern novelties, such as surfing the net, online shopping and foreign Rap music.
