It is commonly believed among many Chinese that Westerners who take “Yes’，and “No” by their facial expressions are more straightforward than Chinese. Normally Westerners don * t have to adopt Chinese ways like sweeping the floor or constantly checking the clock to indicate to a guest that it’ s time to leave. They don’ t have to hesitate in saying “No” when they are not able to, or don’ t want to, offer help to a friend in need. There is no embarrassment attached to this behavior. But it is too simple to conclude that Westerners are more direct speakers than the Chinese.

There are many occasions when the way Westerners express themselves makes Chinese look more straightforward and honest. When I was a fresh international student，the director of our program once asked students in an e-mail what we thought about a young professor. I simply said ’ “She seems to know a lot but doesn* t know how to teach. ” And the director replied with “Thank you for being honest. ”

Only years later when I better understood the new culture，I realized why I had gone too far. If that question were asked now，the reply would have three paragraphs devoted to the qualities of the professor before the last line came out — ” There are some gaps in her teaching method. ” Still tough, but at least it wouldn't be considered rude.

Indeed, the reserved social norms and the deeply - rooted “face issue" make honest speaking risky in China ； Americans have their own ways of being polite. This results partly from political correctness. It also results from several generations of people who have been told they have done well even when they have failed. It may not be unfair to suggest that many Americans are oversensitive and obsessed with a perfect self image.

So，the next time you hear about indirect Chinese，it would be worth challenging the source and pointing out that the cultural comparisons are much more complex. But maybe you should do it in a roundabout way，to be polite.

The passage mainly aims to ??

A.  tell us something about culture distinctions

B.  remind us of the conflicts between cultures

C.  ask us to take positive attitudes to Chinese cultures

D.  keep us informed of the various communications

According to the passage, the young professor lacked   .

A.  confidence in her job

B.  teaching experience

C.  interaction with her students

m D. responsibility for her students

   The underlined words “obsessed with" (para.4) probably means   .

A. satisfied with   B. proud of C. addicted to  D. stuck in

   It can be inferred from the passage that    .

A.  the writer has a good knowledge of American culture

C.  the new professor was very angry with the writer' s comments

D.  different culture backgrounds make cultures comparison complicated

阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上，所填单词要求意义准确，拼写正确。

         We may be very pleased with the rapid progress we

have made in every field of study. But we have almost done

nothing to        (改善)our present examination systems                                    1.        

which focus on testing the students’ m         instead of                                     2.        

their ability. As      as a child begins school, he enters                                          3.        

a world of examination,        will decide his future of job.                                   4.        

In fact a good examination system should      (鼓励)                                             5.        

students to think for themselves.      the examination                                          6.        

now does anything except that. It f       the students to                                      7.        

remember what is taught to get      marks. Thus the students                           8.        

who come out first in the exam often may be the b                                             9.        

in their studies.       addition, such an examination system                                 10.        

often drives teachers to take up all the time and forces them

to train students what to do with the coming examination.

I hope there must be a better way to test a student’s true

ability as well.
