For the growing number of Chinese heading west to work and study, there's plenty they find surprising. Upon arrival in the West, many Chinese find they have to firstly put on the brakes. Li Feng, raised in northern China and now based in England, agrees. "The only thing Chinese people would be shocked by in Britain is how long it takes to do things," he says. "For instance, in China if you want to open a bank account, you don't wait, you just do it at the counter." Out-of-hours and weekend work is standard in China, but in Britain, the weekend is for family and friends.
Jack Chen, who left his homeland 12 years ago and is now a lawyer in Belgium says office politics are simpler in Europe, partly because the hierarchy (等级制度) is less rigid than in China, where the boss really is the boss and social class in the office is very obvious and important. As a result, staff in a Chinese company think very carefully about how to present their views and ideas. Employees in the West can share their opinions more freely. In China you should have the wisdom to say something in an appropriate way. But in Europe you can just say what you want.
The newest Chinese arrivals have a very different view to previous generations, according to Sharon Jin, who moved to the US 20 years ago and is now an American citizen. "Almost 100% of the people of my generation who came to the United States want to get a green card," she says. "But today younger Chinese plan to work for 10 years here and then return to China to buy a house or look after their parents." While a record number of 523,700 students left China to study elsewhere in 2015, roughly 70%—80% of the students abroad have been returning in recent years because of the attractive job market at home, according to the Chinese Ministry of Education.
What do many Chinese find surprising while in Britain
A.That they drive faster than the drivers in Britain.
B.That they can open a bank account at any time.
C.That working extra hours in Britain is very common.
D.That working pace in Britain is less fast than at home.
5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A.Jack Chen has been a lawyer in Belgium for 12 years.
B.Employees in the West show less respect for their boss.
C.Chinese employees are cautious when presenting ideas.
D.People in Europe express themselves in a modest way.
6. Why do most students return to China according to the Chinese Ministry of Education
A.It's hard for them to get a green card.
B.It's easy for them to buy a house at home.
C.They will have to look after their parents.
D.There are more job opportunities in China.
7. How does the writer organize the text
A.By interviewing students abroad.
B.By comparing the differences.
C.By discussing some facts.
D.By listing some figures.
C
People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing (区分)facial expressions and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack from University of Glasgow, said that rather than scanning evenly (平均地;均等地) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fixed their attention on the eyes.
"We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions," said Jack. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, while Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth."
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that communication of human emotions is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that have been considered universally recognizable cannot be used reliably to convey emotions in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the facial movements of 13 Western people and 13 Eastern people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, or angry. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors(错误) than Westerners did. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," said Jack. "Our data suggests that while Westerners use the whole face to convey emotions, Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth less."
In short, the data shows that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotions. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotions. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
The discovery shows that Westerners _________.
A.pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth
B.consider facial expressions universally reliable
C.observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
D.have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions
9. What were the 26 participants asked to do in the study
A.To make a face at each other. B.To get their faces impressive.
C.To classify some face pictures. D.To observe the researchers' faces.
10. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refer to
A.The participants in the study. B.The researchers of the study.
C.The errors made in the study. D.The data collected from the study.
11. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to __________.
A.do translation more successfully B.study the mouth frequently
C.examine the eyes more attentively D.read facial expressions more correctly
D
Next month, I'm travelling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enough Lingala—one of the local languages—to have a conversation. I wasn't sure how I was going to manage this—until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary I'm going to need. Thanks to Memrise, the application I'm using. It feels just like a game.
"People often stop learning things because they feel they're not making progress or because it all feels like too much hard work," says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. "We're trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something you'd want to do instead of watching TV."
Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are "seeds" which you plant in your "greenhouse". When you learn the words, you "water your plants". When the application believes that you've really memorised a word, it moves the word to your "garden". And if you forget to log on, the application sends you e-mails, reminding you to "water your plants".
The application uses two principles about learning. The first is that people memorise a new thing better when they link it to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it also encourages you to use "mems". For example, I memorised "motele", the Lingala word for "engine", using a mem I created—I imagined an old engine in a motel(汽车旅馆) room.
The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because it's the kind of application yon only use for five or ten minutes a day.
I've learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know this won't make me a fluent speaker, but I hope I'll be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my vocabulary!
What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise
A.Create memorable experiences. B.Make progress with hard work.
C.Learn words rather than watch TV. D.Combine study with entertainment.
13. What are you doing when you "water your plants"
A.Logging on to the application. B.Being a Memrise user.
C.Learning the vocabulary. D.Moving words to your garden.
14. How does Memrise work
A.By linking different mems together. B.By putting knowledge into practice.
C.By offering people translation services. D.By applying an associative memory approach.
15. What is the author's attitude towards Memrise
A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Uninterested. D.Negative.

Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it's also normal and healthy. "A lot of people think they have to 21 their anger," says Patrick Keelan, a registered psychologist in Calgary, Canada. "But anger is an emotion built into us to signal that 22 needs to be addressed." When we take notice of that signal and actually correct the problem 23 ignoring it, we're usually much 24 for it.
Unfortunately, many of us have been conditioned to keep our emotions 25 . Increasingly, research is suggesting that this can have long-term 26 on our health. Investigators noticed that people who prevent their emotions tend to have 27 life spans. They're more likely to die earlier from cancer, 28 .

"The theory is that you get the anger out of your system 32 aggressive actions, and it's cathartic(宣泄情绪的)," says Keelan.
"But the research indicates that when we display our anger aggressively, it can 33 increase the intensity of the anger— 34 increase the probability of aggressive actions in the fixture.'' It doesn't take much imagination to predict how a furious rampage(暴怒) can affect your 35 with your spouse, your kids or your co-workers.

It was a bitterly cold and dark day in December. I was walking home from work, hungry and worn out after my long day. My team was due to complete our big project before we left for our winter vacation, but our boss delivered bad news that our client had contacted him and demanded a major revision on the project before they would accept it. The whole team was desperate—we were so close to finishing and now we would most likely have to work over and miss the entire vacation.
So caught up in my anxious thoughts was I that I failed to watch where I was walking until I stepped, with a dramatic splash(溅起), off the sidewalk and into a giant, half-frozen pool of water at the side of the road. I could feel the icy water into my shoes and socks, slowly soaking up into my trousers legs around my ankles. I sighed deeply and almost cried—I was having, as my grandmother always used to say, "one of those days when nothing goes your way."
A wave of loneliness filled me. I loved my job and my coworkers and most days when I was satisfied with my life but now, especially around the holidays, the reminders that I didn't have a partner or children like my sister or some of my coworkers did fill me with sadness. As I looked down sadly at my unpleasant situation, I saw a brief spot of movement out of the corner of my eye. There, attached to a cold piece of cardboard in the middle of the pool, was a small patch of grey fur.
As I watched, the little spot moved again, before letting out an outsized cry of sorrow and grief, so loud was it that you would think it came from a creature five times the size. It was a cat!
Paragraph 1:
Slowly and carefully so as not to frighten it, I bent down and picked up the cat.

Paragraph 2:
My sister is a nurse, and therefore the family expert on caring for animals.

Dear friends,

I hope all of you will learn more about ancient Chinese civilization and enjoy your stay here.
47.答案：
Paragraph 1:
Slowly and carefully so as not to frighten it, I bent down and picked up the cat. The cat protested loudly as I lifted it into the air, twisting and biting at my fingers with surprising strength. I was glad to see that it was so energetic—I hoped that meant it would be more likely to survive. Ignoring the kitten's protests, I carefully tucked it against my chest inside my coat to try and keep it warm. My ignorance made me anxious—I didn't know what I was doing and I didn't want to harm the poor creature. But, after another cry of protest, the cat became calm and went to sleep.
Paragraph 2:
My sister is a nurse, and therefore the family expert on caring for animals. I hurried to call and ask for her advice. She calmly and efficiently told me what to do as I hurried home, stopping briefly at a corner store to buy some supplies she insisted I would need. When I finally reached my apartment, I dried the soaked cat and fed it the food I had bought. The cat still looked at me with great suspicion, but the food seemed to be winning it over. As the cat once more fell asleep, now happy and warm, I smiled. After all perhaps I would not have a lonely vacation this year.
