【题目】 When you think of American culture, what first comes to your mind? McDonald’s? Coca Cola? Levi’s? Disneyland? Michael Jordan? Julia Roberts? Many people imagine American culture is a collection of popular symbols like these. Actually, these symbols are only one small part of American culture — pop culture.

What is pop culture? Well, pop is short for popular. The origins of pop culture can often be traced(追溯) to popular movies, television shows, music stars and sports figures. Pop culture is also promoted by business and advertising. The most common examples of American pop culture appear among high school and college students. Trends(潮流) set by famous people quickly become part of young people’s lifestyles.

American pop culture has spread around the world. One major reason for its popularity is that English is a world language. English is the language of diplomacy, international business and transportation. Since language and culture go together, learning English means becoming aware of English-speaking countries’ cultures. Also, America is a world leader in movies, music and magazines. The kind of American culture communicated in those media is pop culture. Finally, pop culture is easy to package and to export. For that reason, it is easy to “sell” to the world.

Many people suppose that American pop culture is what America is all about. Does pop culture reflect(反映) the true culture of America? Yes and no. Pop culture does represent(代表) a part of American society — especially urban young people that are turned into the media. But American pop culture is faddish and ever-changing. It is man-made and surface picture of America. If you want to learn about real American culture, you’ll have to go a little further than McDonald’s.

【1】Paragraph 3 is mainly about .

A.why language and culture go togetherB.how American pop culture leads in media

C.why American pop culture is popularD.how American pop culture is exported

【2】The underlined word “export” probably means .

A.to buy from a foreign countryB.to sell to a foreign country

C.to send to othersD.to store in some places

【3】Which of the following is TRUE about American pop culture according to the passage?

A.Pop culture isn’t a part of American culture.

B.Young people always set the trends of pop culture.

C.It is popular in the world mainly because of the popularity of English.

D.If you want to know real American culture, you can go to McDonald’s.

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A.American pop culture is a part of American culture.

B.McDonald’s, Coca Cola, Levi’s etc. are all symbols of American pop culture.

C.American pop culture is easy to sell to the world only because it’s popular.

D.To learn about real American culture, you should study more than pop culture.

【题目】 Hello. We are students from Thailand, and we want to save the elephants. The elephant is one of Thailand's symbols. Our first flag had a white elephant on it. This is a symbol of good luck.

【题目】 Not every parent looks for the day when their child goes off to school. In fact, some parents are not sending their children to school at all. This is called homeschooling. In the United States, only about 3 percent of children homeschooled.

There are some reasons why some parents choose to homeschool. Some parents do not feel their children are safe in school because of bullying(霸凌). Other parents feel that public schools are not good enough. Homeschooling is also seen as a choice for families that live in rural areas, or families that move often.

Being homeschooled doesn’t mean a student cannot go to college. Most colleges accept homeschooled students. It is important and necessary, however, for students to create a portfolio(作品集) to show what they have learned.
