     Americans usually consider themselves a friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be
shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for
Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other "friends" to be just
social acquaintances.
     This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans do
not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to " compartmentalize" friendships, having "friends
at work", " friends on the softball team", "family friends", etc.
    Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always
seem to be on the go. In this highly changed atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem brusque or
impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else.
Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult in
intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to
get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American
behavior or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask all about their country or
anything "American" in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become tried
of listening. It doesn't matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a
conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than
deal with silence.
     On the other hand, don't expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or
world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United states is not
surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world.
1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?(no more than 15words)

3.What would Americans prefer to talk about in order to carry on a comfortable conversation?( no
more than 10 words)

4.According to the customs mentioned in the passage, what would you do if you want to know
something about America?(no more than 10 words)

5. why don't Americans know much about international geography or world affairs?( no more than
15 words)

     Across the United States,there are several places where two independent towns grew together to
become one citybut kept both their names.
     WinstonSalem is one of them.It's a midsized city in what's called the plateau(high land),between the
Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina.The Winston part is a relatively new place,founded early this century.It's home  to  the  nation's  biggest  openair  tobacco market.
     The giant R.J.Reynolds Tobacco Company's headquarters is in WinstonSalem,and Winston is the
name of one of Reynolds' bestknown cigarette brands.Fastgrowing Winston soon surrounded the much
older town of Salem,so in 1913,people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.
     From a historical and tourist point of view,Salem,or Old Salem,as it's called today,is the interesting and unusual part of town.
     Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians.They spoke German,and their community was
religiously based,with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories.The Moravians
greatly valued women's work and brainpower.In fact,one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young womenthe Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772-is still in operation.
     Over the years,Salem lost its Moravian character.That all changed,though,when a nonprofit group
began to rehabilitate the historic area.These days Old Salem is what's called a living history museum,with
exhibits,music,and tours of 18thcentury houses,taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in WinstonSalem.
     The historic community is booming again.Just as R.J.Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making
cigarettes across town,Old Salem is generating about D|S15 million a year in tourism revenue and
donations.

     Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to
change their practices in different cultures.They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions
based on misconceptions-mistaken ideas.
     One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one's own culture's way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures.It's ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business.To
avoid ethnocentrism, it's necessary to study the different elements(组成部分) of culture: language, values
and attitudes,and customs and manners.
     Language
     A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways.First, people can communicate directly.Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who
speaks their language.Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not
said directly.Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.
     Values and Attitudes
     Values are people's basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad.An
attitude is a way of thinking or acting.Values and attitudes influence international business.For example,
many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from
other countries, and they buy a lot of it.
     Customs and Manners
     Customs are common social practices.Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite.
For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad(色拉) before the main course at dinner,
not after.It's not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table.Failure to understand the customs and
manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products.Orange juice as a breakfast drink of
an American company in France doesn't sell well because the French don't usually drink juice with
breakfast.

     Different people use different languages. We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a
foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know - the language of the body.
    All over the world, people "talk with their hand, with their heads and with their eyes." When Japanese
people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and
British do? Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names,
they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their
chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved(保守的). They take more
time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name.
     When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not
usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men
kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says, "Hello."
Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

     Many people all over the world speak English as their second language and it is not too much
to say that it has become an international language.  
Studying English can make life fun. It enables you to watch American movies, read English
books and listen to English songs. Moreover, as English is an international language, you will be
able to communicate with foreigners when you are on a trip abroad. Traveling will be more
interesting that way.
     It is a good idea to make friends with foreigners. In my opinion, it is the best way to improve
your English. In addition, it will bring you a lot of fun and expand your view of the world.  If you
make friends with a native speaker, you can practise your spoken English more often, and then
you can communicate with people around the world. You can also become familiar with the
customs and habits of different cultures.
     There are some people who are afraid to make friends with foreigners, because they are not
confident about their English. However, many foreigners do not care about grammar. They will
get your key words in the sentence and know the whole meaning. Therefore, it is unnecessary to
be afraid; just go ahead.
     In brief, English is so useful to us that we should all learn it.
1.Why does the writer think it necessary for us to learn English?
A. Because he uses it as a second language.

     A vuvuzela is a horn, about a meter long, usually made of a colorful cheap plastic. It is the choice of
noise-makers for South African football fans. When it's blown by thousands of supporters at the same
time, it's loud, very loud. It sounds a bit like and air horn and you can hear it a lot during the 2010 World
Cup.
     The vuvuzela was originally made from a kudu horn and was traditionally used to summon people to
gatherings. But the horn you see at soccer matches in South Africa today originated from a tin horn that
became popular with South African soccer fans around 15 years ago. A sports company began to mass-
produce a plastic version in the South Africa colors, and this is what you see (and hear) at every soccer
match. Now it's become an official symbol of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and more popular
around the world.
     The vuvuzela will be ubiquitous during the 2010 World Cup. There was a call for FIFA to ban the
vuvuzela during the Confederations Cup that took place in South Africa in June 2009. European joumalists
got into a tizzy(紧张) about the noise. The Guardian reported:"It sounds like extremely terrible." But FIFA
stood its ground, as Mr Blatter, FIFA's president says "Vuvuzelas, drums and singing are part of African
football culture. It is part of their celebration, it is part of their culture, so let them blow the vuvuzelas."
     Adam Carnegie, a graphic artist from Cape Town, founded the Kelp Environmental Learning Project.
The project employs local men and women to collect kelp, dry it and then hand paint colorful designs on it.
The mission is simple. "We want to create jobs, make a noise, make people laugh, remind people to be in
the moment."
     Like most trumpets, getting any noise from a vuvuzela requires significant pursing of the lips and the
ability to blow with force. Your cheeks will be zinging afterward. You can personalize your vuvy blowing
techniques with a lot of practice, but generally it produces one big sound.
1. The vuvuzela ____.
A. is usually made of metal
B. has a length of two and a half feet
C. was first used in a local sports game
D. is one of the official symbols of the 2010 World Cup
2. The underlined word "ubiquitous" in the 3rd paragraph probably means "____".
A. banned
B. heard everywhere
C. extremely expensive
D. strictly limited
3. Why did FIFA stand its ground on the issue of the vuvuzela?
A. Because the vuvuzela is typical of African football culture.
B. Because it is the host country's right to make their choice.
C. Because the vuvuzela will make the 2010 World Cup special.
D. Because more member countries support the use of the vuvuzela.

     You may know your mother, but how well do you really know Mother's Day? Cards, flowers, sales,
TV specials, and a day off for someone who really deserves it ---- those are what probably come to
mind for many people when they think of Mother's Day. But there's more to the story.
     The earliest Mother's Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations
honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called Mothering
Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families. A mothering cake
was even served with the family meal.
      In the US, Mother's Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous
song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didn't really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis stared a campaign to honor mothers. She believed that mothers
could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil
     War. The US isn't alone in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark,
Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also honor their mothers in May. Other countries
honor their mothers at different times of the year.
     Learning more about Mother's Day and celebrating Mother's Day are important, but probably not as
important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you.
And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The reason why people celebrate Mother's Day.
B. The ways people honor mothers.
C. The history of Mother's Day.    
D. The great contribution of mothers.

2. Where was the earliest Mother's Day celebrated?

A. In ancient Greece.
B. In the US.
C. In England.
D. In Italy.

3. We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. Rhea is the mother of a king in ancient Greece
B. not all the countries celebrate Mother's Day in May
C. only mothers were given a day off on Mothering Sunday
D. it was in 1872 that Mother's Day really came into being

4. The last paragraph tells us that _____.

A. all the people should celebrate Mother's Day
B. only mothers are honored on Mother's Day
C. understanding mothers' work is more important than just celebrating Mother's Day
D. people should celebrate Mother's Day every day
