Children model themselves largely on their parents．They do so mainly through identification．Children identify   36   a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are   37   of that parent．The things parents do and say---and the   38   they do and say to them--therefore strongly influence a child's   39  ．However, parents must consistently behave like the type of   40   they want their child to become．

       A parent's actions   41   affect the self-image that a child forms   42   identification．Children who see mainly positive qualities in their   43   will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way．Children who observe chiefly   44   qualities in their parents will have difficulty   45   positive qualities in themselves．Children may   46   their self-image, however, as they become increasingly   47    by peers groups standards before they reach 13．

       Isolated（孤立的） events,   48   dramatic（突然的） ones, do not necessarily have a permanent   49   on a child's  behavior．Children interact such events according to their established attitudes and previous training．Children who know they are loved can,   50  , accept the divorce of their parents' or a parent's early   51  ．But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events   52   a sign of rejection or punishment．

       In the same way, all children are not influenced   53   by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs．  54   in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the   55   of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it．

For many men and women today ,the image that a watch communicates is more important  than the time it tells. “Complications”-----features that go beyond simple timekeeping-----are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer a host of complications that suit almost  any personality. These features include altitude trackers ,compasses, lunar calendars, USB drivers ,and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!

Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches ,for men as well as women. The Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches .The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time .It looks more like a futuristic bracelet than a watch .Another Japanese watchmaker , EleeNo, makes a “handless” watch .Using a ring of circles to keep time, this watch makes an excellent conversation piece.

    In the past, the image of a man’s watch was quite different from that of a woman’s. Men’s watches tend to be bolder, larger, and more complicated than women’s watches, which were more likely to look like jewelry. Today, the differences between men’s and women’s watches are disappearing. Watchmakers are adding diamonds to their fine watches for man. And for women, they’re designing larger watches that contain complications. For example, some women’s watches now have calendars that show the phrases of the moon. Others show the time in two different cities, a handy function for business travelers. However, women still pay more attention than most men to the external beauty of a watch. And unlike men, women are still more likely to purchase watches that suit particular items in their wardrobes.

According to the passage, one type of watch complications can show you ___________.

   A. appointments for the day            B. which direction is north

   C. how much weight you’ve put on      D. a list of telephone numbers

What is the true information about the watch made by EleeNo?

   A. It uses different hands to keep time.    B It’s rather popular

   C. It doesn’t look like a watch           D. It’s much fun to talk about

What is the main topic of this article?

   A. Why women are likely to buy more watches than men?

   B. The differences between men’s and women’s watches.

   C. Current trends in the watch industry.

   D. Useful tips for purchasing watches.

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal （信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.

Different cultures emphasize （强调） the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job．In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.

Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment （多元文化环境） will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _____.

A．develop closer relations             B．share the same culture

C．get to know each other                 D．keep each other company

The most important use of drifting (漂流) bottles is to find ocean currents. When the position and direction of currents are known, ships can use the forward movement of a current or stay away from currents that would carry them off their course. Benjamin Franklin was one of the first to use bottles in the study of currents. He wondered why British mall ships needed a week or two longer than U.S. ships needed in order to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Franklin thought the Gulf Stream (墨西哥湾流) might explain this difference.

Franklin talked with captains of U.S. ships. He found that they knew each turn of the Gulf Stream. They used the current in every possible way. From his talks with the captains. Franklin made his first map of the Gulf Stream. Then he checked his map by using sealed (密封的) bottles. The map that he finally made is still used, with only a few changes, today.
