After school，I was about to enter my apartment while I saw a little dirty dog lie beside a dustbin．He looked extremely weak．Immediately the homeless dog filled me with sympathy．So I decided to take him home．I gave him some food and a bath．After the bath he looked energy and refreshed．What a lovely dog!When my parents got to home，I asked that I could keep the dog．To my surprised and joy，we agreed．Up to now，he has become member of our family and everyone had enjoyed his company（陪伴）．
Looked at the cute and happy dog today，I realize that I was right to help him．

10．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 cafés 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 the 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．

32．In some countries，eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people toA．
A．develop closer relations        B．share the same culture
C．get to know each other          D．keep each other company
33．The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show thatD．
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
34．According to the text，how can people from different cultures understand each other better？C
A．By sharing different ways of life． B．By accepting different habits．
C．By recognizing different values．   D．By speaking each other's languages．
35．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．Multicultural Environment     B．Cross-Cultural Differences
C．How to Understand Each Other  D．How to Build Up a Relationship．
20．The day finally came，when I had to leave the warm home where I'd grown up．I ran to the back yard，as tears came up from my heart．Suddenly I （36）A a hand rest on my shoulder．I looked up to （37）C my grandfather．''It isn't （38）C，is it，Billy？''he said softly．
Gently （39）B my hand in his，we walked，hand in hand，to the front yard，（40）A a huge red rose-bush sat alone．
''What do you see here，Billy？''he asked．I looked at the flowers，not knowing （41）A to say，and then answered，''I see something soft and （42）D，grandpa．''
He pulled me （43）A．''It isn't just the roses that are beautiful，Billy．It's that special place in your heart that makes them so．''''Billy，I （44）B these roses when my first son was born．It was my （45）C of saying'thank you'to God．I （46）D to watch him pick roses for his mother．Then，as a young man of only 20，a terrible war robbed him of his life．''Grandpa slowly stood up．''Never say good-bye，Billy．Never （47）C to the sadness and the loneliness．Instead，I want you to remember the joy and the （48）B when you first said hello to a friend．''

were （50）B back，and I returned to the old house．When it came to my （51）C，I took his hand as （52）D as he had once taken mine．
''Hello，grandpa，''I （53）D．His eyes slowly opened and said，''Hello，my friend．''With a brief （54）C he died．Suddenly，and truly，I knew what he had （55）B about never saying good-bye-about refusing to give in to sadness．

7．The iPhone，the iPad：each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad（一时的风尚）． Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"？and many other brands are following suit．The BBC's iPlayer？which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet？adopted the title in 2008．A lovely bear？popular in the US and UK？that plays music and video is called"iTeddy"．
A slimmed-down version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name"i"．
In general，single-letter prefixes （前缀） have been popular since the 199Cb，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use．
Most"i"products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's i，it s no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name．
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i"．Why not use"a"，"b"，or"c"instead？According to Tony Thome，head of the Language Center at King's College，London，"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous．When Apple uses"i"，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or interactive，Thome told BBC Magazines．"Even when Apple created the iPod，it seems it didn't have one clear definition，"he says．
"However，thanks to Apple，the term is now associated with portability （轻便?）．"adds Thorne． Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．
Each person believes they have their own needs，and we love personalized products for this reason． Along with"Google"and"blog"，readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words
that have come to define the last decade．
But as history shows，people grow tired of fads．From the 1900s to 1990s，products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modem．However，as we entered the new century，the trend inevitably disappeared．
66．People use iPlayer toC．
A．listen to music                                    B．make a call
C．watch TV programs online                           D．read newspapers
67．We can infer that the Independent's"i"is aimed atA   
A．young readers                                      B．old readers
C．fashionable women                                  D．engineers
68．The underlined word"ambiguous"means"B"．
A．popular         B．uncertain        C．definite        D．unique
69．Nowadays，-the"i"term often reminds people of the products whichA．
A．portable                            B．environmentally friendly
C．advanced                             D．recyclable
70．The writer suggests thatD．
A．"i"products are often of high quality
B．iTeddy is alive bear
C．the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products
D．the popularity of"i"products may not last long．
4．-When will it be convenient for us to meet？Monday or Tuesday？

5．When Charles Stratton was five，he stopped growing．His mother took him to see the famous showman，P．T．Barnum．Mr．．Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show．He hired Charles'parents along with him，and they traveled the world together．
He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name，General Tom Thumb． He taught Tom how to sing，dance，act and tell jokes．When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage，he made up ads．To stir up great interest，he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England．
During the show，Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people．He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall．Tom's act was very popular and brought in a lot of money．By the time Tom was an adult，he had grown very rich．He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty five．
Fortunately for Tom，Mr．．Barnum added more little people to his show，and Tom became lucky in love as well．One of the little people was Lavinia Warren，a schoolteacher．Tom was able to win her love，and they married．
The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town．They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about 2000guests．Crowds filled the streets of New York to have a look at their tiny wedding marriage．The couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln on their honeymoon just before going to live in Tom's house in Connecticut．
Their wedding，which took place during the Civil War，provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war．Not willing to let this bit of sunshine fade，communities throughout the country sponsored"Tom Thumb"weddings．In these weddings，small boys and girls，all dressed up，went through marriage ceremony for fun．
