It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university．On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few   21 . On their faces was confidence. This was their   22   exam—then on to graduation and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they   23   get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt   24   and able to take control of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a（n） 25  task, as the professor had said they could bring   26  books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not   27  each other during the test.
28   they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles   29 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed   30   the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the   31   faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”   32   a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished   33  .”  But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I   34   ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are   35   many things about the   36   you don't know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in    37     practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all   38  this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just   39   .”
The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the  40   he taught.

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意：每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.

Living in a foreign country is fun, but it isn’t always easy. There are many differences between cultures and although some of these differences are unimportant, they can cause a lot of embarrassment. I spoke to a few foreign friends about how they experienced culture shock in China.

Aubin arrived two months ago from Europe to take part in a language programme in Shanghai. Before he left, he was actually taught the differences between European and Chinese cultures, including everything from table manners to classroom behavior. However, some things have still taken him by surprise. For example, he couldn’t understand why waiters did not want to accept the tips he gave them after meals in restaurants. I had to explain to him that people don’t usually tip in China and that this comes from the Confucian idea that one must avoid accepting any undue(不适当的) income.

Another friend, Julia, came to Guangzhou from London to teach at a language school. After a month, she told me that she was really let down by her students. I asked her why and she told me that they were so quiet that she was the only person talking in class and it felt like the children were punishing her by making her talk to the walls! I explained to her that the children were simply respectful, but she said that it would be more respectful if they answered her questions.

And it is not only the West and the East that have cultural differences. Even Korea and China, two countries that are very close to each other, have differences too. “I thought Chinese and Korean people were similar in some ways,” said my friend Ji-Hyun in perfect Chinese, “but I was wrong. In ancient times the Chinese used to take their shoes off before entering a house. They don’t do that anymore, but Korean people still do! I keep getting that wrong even though I’ve been here for five years!”

Luckily, whether we take our shoes off or not, or leave unnecessary tips, the world still runs perfectly. In my opinion, cultural differences should simply be seen as a way of making life interesting. Imagine how boring it would be if we all did everything in exactly the same way! Learning to understand and respect differences is, after all, what life is all about.
