【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Americans are obsessed (着迷的) with telling their life stories. This phenomenon isn’t simply the product of the technological world. 【1】_________ People are eager to tell stories and are fascinated by those of others. Even at preschool, “sharing time” is a common Monday-morning activity where the teenagers will sit in a circle and take turns telling a story about something they did over the weekend.

【2】___________ In many Asian countries, talking about and drawing attention to oneself can be seen as socially inappropriate. People are often unwilling to share their life stories and do not encourage others to do so. But there are also times Asians do share their stories. 【3】___________ Asians believe that a person is largely decided by his or her social status and relationships, leaving little reason to broadcast detailed and revealing personal stories to establish a unique self.

Ironically, the more unique Americans strive to be, the greater their need to feel connected with others. In their culture of individuality, relationships are highly mobile and can be easily formed or dissolved(破裂).

Sharing personal stories brings them closer through the exchange of thoughts, feelings and desires. 【4】_________ But this motivation is not nearly as strong among Asians, for whom social relations are generally unconditional, obligatory(义不容辞的) and stable, and therefore require little maintenance(维护).

【5】__________ American parents encourage children to share their stories and create opportunities to re-experience the past with children. Asian parents, by contrast, engage their children in telling personal stories less frequently. When they do talk about a child’s experiences, they are not particularly concerned with parent-child bonding but tend to focus on disciplining the child.

A. They tend to focus more on outer facts than personal details.

B. It helps them shape their “selves” and makes them who they are.

C. Interestingly, this obsession is not necessarily shared in other cultures.

D. Talking about personal stories is to cheer people on with positive feelings.

E. It connects them like many different points, holding their society together.

F. Sharing personal stories is also an essential part in everyday conversations.

G. Parents in America and Asia differ in how they share memories with children.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown, 【1】 I found some very good Chinese restaurants.

That was the first time that I 【2】 (notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables of Chinese food. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why 【3】 has this special feature.

Many years ago, China had 【4】 energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This 【5】 (lose) was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their 【6】 (value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.

In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables 【7】 small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked 【8】 (fast) and they saved more fuel. The food 【9】 (prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavor — and it’s this flavor 【10】 attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

As a matter of fact, Lindsay is suffering 【7】clinical depression(临床抑郁症). What is clinical depression? It can be described as a mood which is so low that affects your everyday life 【8】 (serious). The first sighs of it in teens are 【9】(poor) school reports than before, then learning difficulties and staying away from classmates and teachers. If you have these signs, don’t worry. It is not so difficult to deal with clinical depression. There are many effective ways, such as medicine,【10】 (express) of feelings, more exercise and a balanced diet.

【题目】Time for a Brainstorm

A brainstorm is a session where a small group of people come together to solve a problem. People voice spontaneous ideas, sometimes just shouting, and a note-taker writes them all down.【1】By getting different ideas out there, ideas are said to bounce off each other and even can help solve the problem at hand. Brainstorming is often a group exercise but individuals can also conduct personal brainstorms.

【2】He defined it as using the brain to storm a creative problem and do so in commando (突击队）fashion, with each stormer attacking the same objective. According to him,, it was easier to tone down a wild idea than think up a new one. He placed importance on the collection of as many ideas as possible and dismissed scientific thinking.

Brainstorming has become one of the most popular ways to solve problems and hold discussion in schools and businesses. Many students brainstorm for a group assignment or even for a personal essay. Sarah Grace, 24, is an Australian marketing analyst and uses brainstorming during all her creative duties. She thinks brainstorming is the best way to work as a team. The sessions get everyone on the same page, everyone moving together and with a clear understanding about the foundations of an event or idea.【3】.

However, a big problem with brainstorming is creating a mess that leads people further away from a solution. 【4】If you don’t have a strong moderator or leader of the brainstorm, can go really off track, and people just start discussing something totally different. Brainstorming can sometimes confuse the human brain.【5】If you brainstorm too much and your page is filled up with all the messy links, you can paint yourself into a bit of comer and get trapped with ideas.

You need to move past brainstorming as soon as you have something workable.

A. The ideas can be smart, strange or crazy.

B. It is caused by a lack of direction from a leader.

C. Brainstorming really helps her organize her thoughts.

D. Brainstorming really is the best way to build team spirit.

E. It can open too many doors and not suggest a clear direction.

F. Brainstorms were popularized in the 1940s by American advertising boss Alex Osborn.

G. They can be words; phrases, paragraphs and anything that can help answer the question.
