四、阅读理解
A
In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some Western countries it appears they are not nice guests. And Western guests sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home there is always fruit on the table for me and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the West generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behaviour for a guest.
My wife's mother is a very kind elderly Chinese lady who doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly but I must realize that she must not do that. In most North America homes if you are a guest and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least you could ask “Is it OK if I smoke ” But don't be surprised if they say “No, you can't smoke.” In our culture if you smoke in their home you are a bad guest, but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house they are not a rude guest.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some Western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So if you invite international guests to your home don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
In China you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If Western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
( )1. What do many foreigners think of Chinese hosts
A. They're the best. B. They're the worst.
C. They're the most natural. D. They're the most difficult.
( )2. What does the writer often feel when he enter a Chinese person's home
A. He often feels odd. B. He often feels like a god.
C. He often feels uncomfortable. D. He often feels like a Chinese himself.
( )3. What will the writer probably say if guests want to smoke in his house
A. It's OK if you smoke here. B. Let's smoke together.
C. Sorry, you can't smoke here. D. Smoking is a bad habit.
( )4. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage
A. Think back to. B. Get used to.
C. Look forward to. D. Keep close to.
( )5. What is the main idea of this passage
A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese. B. Hosts must do things in the guest's way.

B
Where you sit and how you fit
1. _____ For more than seventy years, researchers and teachers have studied the link between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners. Where do you usually decide to sit Have you ever really thought about the reasons for your decision
2. _____ But is this really true Well, some researchers say it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because it is far away from the teacher and they don't want to answer questions. At the back, students probably won't speak much, but in big classrooms, it can be hard to see the board and hear what the teacher is saying. This could be the reason why students who sit here often get lower grades on tests and exams. For students with poor eyesight or hearing, a seat at the back of the classroom is not a good choice.
3. _____ However, they like watching and listening rather than joining in. These students are usually also very good at taking notes. Next time you miss a class, borrow notes from someone who sits here. On the sides of the classroom you will generally find modest and thoughtful people. These people usually get good grades in school and are interested in learning.
4. _____ Then the statistics(统计数据)say you probably like your teacher. You probably also have a good relationship with your classmates. Caring, outgoing, and cheerful people usually sit in the
middle. They are normally serious about learning and feel disappointed with low grades on tests and exams.
5. _____ Students who sit here usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject. They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says. The only problem with sitting here is that it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in class. So, if you really want to hear what everyone says in class, choose a different place to sit.
A. You probably sit right at the front of the class if you're longing for knowledge.
B. Research suggests that the seat you choose in the classroom says a lot about you and your personality.
C. Do you sit in the middle of the classroom
D. This means it's a good idea to sit in a different place every day.
E. People often think that students who sit at the back are lazy.
F. Students who sit at the side of the classroom are normally interested in class.
