People who have spent time in other cultures often talk about "reverse（逆向的）culture shock". If you leave your country for more than a short tourist trip and then go back home, you may feel【1】.What is “reverse culture shock”? Well, imagine the following: You have just adjusted to a new culture and have come【2】(enjoy) life in it. You have made new friends and have had【3】great variety of new experiences. Then, 【4】(sad) enough, it's time to leave, but you are also very excited about【5】(go) home. Arriving home is wonderful-seeing all the friends and relatives you haven't seen, eating all the special foods, reading the newspapers【6】hearing music you haven't heard in such a long time. But then after a few weeks, perhaps, things may not seem so “wonderful”. You may become critical of your home country【7】you have grown up. You may not like certain things or ideas.【8】your eyes, either you or your home country【9】(change).

This is the process of re-adjustment. It's a difficult period, and many people experience it after the【10】(excite) of coming home has worn off. Fortunately, it doesn't usually last as long as adjustment to a new culture does.

The winter holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.

The game was created as part of a merger(合并) agreement between the NFL and its then rival league, the American Football League (AFL). Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories, with six. The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances, with nine.

The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called "Super Bowl Sunday". It is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.

Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pregame and halftime ceremonies.

【1】According to the text, in the Super Bowl ________.

A. the New England Patriots have won nine times

D. winners of the last season play against each other

【2】On Super Bowl Sunday, American people usually ________.

C. avoid the Super Bowl commercials D. enjoy performances by famous artists

【3】In 2015, the ________ Super Bowl was held.

A. 46th B. 49th C. 51st D. 55th

A. is a public holiday in the United States

B. is the annual championship game of AFL

C. launches a new season of the National Football League every year

D. has frequently been the most watched American television broadcast of the year

I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.

I know what is inside the paper carrier bag — a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.

Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.

“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I said.

“Oh，no,” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”

The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.

So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper earner bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.

Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.

“Thank you” is, of course，the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.

【1】The author and Wing got to know each other .

A. as next door neighbors

B. when exchanging meals

C. by sharing similar experiences

D. after using an iPad to communicate

【2】The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means .

A. do as well B. offer generously

C. give in return D. accept with pleasure

【3】The author’s effort to learn Mandarin shows her .

A. great satisfaction B. real kindness

C. heartfelt thanks D. sincere friendship

Sharks have lived in the world's oceans for millions of years. A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in the water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. These powerful senses help them find their food.
Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old. Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.
.They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in the ocean do not become too great. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.
People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased greatly because many parts of a shark are valuable. . Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin. The skin of a shark can be used like leather. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins.
Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth. If too many sharks in one area are killed, the group of shark may never return to normal population levels
A. The others give birth to live young.
B. Sharks are important for the health of the world's oceans.
C. This is a threat to other form of life in the ocean.
D. Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark.
E. Sharks are valuable to us and we can make full use of them.
F. But some sharks are in danger of disappearing from Earth.
G. Sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean

Last winter vacation, my parents and I went back to our hometown, where I spend my childhood. Walking slow in the quiet small town reminded me of the good old day. I went from street to street, in the search of my childhood footprints. Suddenly, I found me at the gate of the primary school on which I studied for six years. As I entered, I was surprised find that the old classroom building was gone. But it was filling with my childhood memories! I felt such sad that tears ran down my cheeks. It was just like the feeling I had while a good friend left me forever.

Brussels：Chocolate

Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe，and Belgium—with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year—certainly covers its fair share.While Brussels，the country’s capital，is home to hundreds of chocolate makers，what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.

Budapest：Paprika(红辣椒)

The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do.A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them，so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh.But by the early 20th century，sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.

Lisbon：Tiles(瓷砖)

Is there a bluer country than Portugal？The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land.The blue moods of Fado，the dark folk music，form the national soundtrack.And all across Portugal，the typically blue designs of azulejos—ceramic tiles—are spread across churches，castles，palaces，university halls，parks...The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints，Portuguese kings，historical glories，aristocrats(贵族) at leisure，seascapes and so on.

Madrid：Guitars

Walking into one of Madrid’s storied guitar makers’ workshops can feel like stepping into the past.Curly wood shavings，from the palest pine to ebony，fall onto the floor as artisans(工匠) turn some humble wood into works of art.It’s painstaking work—all done by hand—with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.

【1】What does the job of preparing Hungarian paprika suggest?

A. The popularity of Hungarian peppers.

B. The difficulty of processing peppers.
