Walking along a lake in the cold winter, Birbal and the king made a bet（打赌）that a man would do anything for money.

The king said, “I don’t think a man would spend an entire night in the cold water of this lake for money.”

Birbal replied, “ I’m sure I can find such a person.”

The king asked Birbal to find such a person and said that he would reward the person with a thousand gold coins.

Birbal searched far and wide and finally found a poor man. When he entered the lake, the king had guards around him to make sure that he really did as promised.

The poor man made it. He told the king that there had been a street lamp nearby and that he had kept his attention on the lamp and managed to avoid the cold. The king then said that there would be no reward as he relied on the warmth of the street lamp.

The poor man went to Birbal for help.

The next day, Birbal did not go to court（上朝）. The king went to Birbal’s house and see what he was up to.

He found Birbal sitting on the floor near some burning branches and a bowl filled with rice hanging five feet above the fire. The king and his followers couldn’t help but laugh.

The king then said to Birbal, “How can the rice be cooked if it is so far away from the fire?”

Birbal answered, “The same way the poor man received heat from a street lamp that was more than two thousand meters away.”

Finally, the king gave the poor man his reward.

When it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.

The New York Times recently released（公布）a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:

The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips, even if it's not required by their school.

Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.

Malia and Sasha have to play two sports: one they choose and one selected by their mother.

Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.

The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.

While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They're not little princess(公主）. It's just basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”

Michelle also mentions another set of rules:

The girls must do their chores(家务), though the White House has a large staff (职员). Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.

They must play a team sport, because it's about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.

…

It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded（全面发展）as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?

Nonverbal （非语言的）Communication

When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally. Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. According to an investigation(调查),only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don’t know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.

In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I’ve heard you.”

In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone’s life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting (侮辱)and should not be used there.

In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hands above your head means “I’m the champion” or “I’m the winner”. It is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.

There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don’t like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. For example friends touch each other on the arm. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”.

1.It is very important to know how to communicate nonverbally when you are in another country because .

A. most people speak different languages

B. much of our communication is nonverbal on many occasions

C. people usually make gestures before saying anything

D. it’s easy to learn how to express oneself through gestures

2.If a native in Singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, his motion means .

A. yes B. no

C. that’s all right D. I’ve heard you

3.When the Russian leader put up his clasped hands after the meeting at the White House .

A. he meant Russia was the winner

B. he was insulting America

C. he made a show of friendship to America

D. he in fact meant nothing at all

4.The gesture of putting one’s thumb up should not be used when you are travelling in .

A. China B. the United States

C. Greece D. Southeast Asia

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.

Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.

“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.

Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.

Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10—20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.

A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.

1.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Students buy the time of their showers.

B. The clock times the student’s bathing except when the bather pauses for soap.

C. If money runs out, there will be no water.

D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.

2.The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph 3) most probably means __________.

A. fault B. advantage

C. pity D. perfection

3.Since the new system has performed, __________ of water can be saved.

A. a quarter B. one third

C. one half D．two thirds

4.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. the new operation can raise students’ environmental awareness

B. the new operation can solve the water crisis

C. a similar operation has been set in other universities

D. the university has saved a lot of water by using the new system

5.In which column can you find this passage?

A. Culture. B. Society.

C. Campus Life. D. Lifestyle.
