语篇品读 “WELCOME, XIE LEI ！” BUSINESS STUDENT BUILDING BRIDGES Six months ago, 19-year-old Xie Lei said goodbye to her family and friends and boarded a plane for London. It was the first time that she had left China.“I was very excited but also quite nervous. I didn't know what to expect," Xie Lei recalled. Xie Lei is studying for a business qualification at auniversity in China and has come to our university on a year- long exchange programme. "I chose the exchange programme because I wanted to learn about global business and improve my English. My ambition is to set up a business in China after graduation," she explained. At first, Xie Lei had to adapt to life in a different country. "You have to get used to a whole new life,” she said.“I had to learn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didn’t know the Englishnamesfor.When I got lost, I had to askpassers-by for help, but people here speak fast and use words l'm not familiar with. I ask them to repeat themselves a lot!" Although some foreign students live in campus accommodation，Xie Lei chose to live with a host family. who can help with her adaptation to the new culture."When I miss home,I feel comforted to have a second family," Xie Lei said. "When there's something I don't know or understand, I can ask them. They are also keen to learn about China. Laura, the daughter of my host family, wants to study in China in the future. We take turns to cook each evening.They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs! Laura says she always feels hungry when she smells it, so I taught her how to cook it, too." Another challenge for Xie Lei is the academic requirements. The first time that she had to write an essay, her tutor explained that she must acknowledge what other people had said if she cited their ideas, but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought! Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than other people. Her tutor advised her to read lots of information in order to form a wise opinion of her own. Xie Lei also found many courses included students' participation in class as part of the final result. Students need to generate ideas, offer examples, apply concepts, and raise questions, "As well as give presentations. At first, Xie Lei had no idea what she should say but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks."My presentation on traditional Chinese art was a great success, which boosted my confidence." she said. "I'll use these skills back home for presentations. They'll help me build a strong business in the future". Now halfway through her exchange year, Xie Lei feels much more at home in the UK. What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her. "Engaging in British culture has helped," she said.“As well as studying hard, I've been involved in social activities. British people are fascinated by our culture and eager to learn more about it,so I'm keen to share my culture with them. While I'm learning about business, I'm also acting as a cultural messenger building a bridge between us." We will follow Xie Lei's progress in later editions,but for now, we wish her all the best. 全文翻译 “欢迎你,谢蕾!” 商科学生搭建文化交流的桥梁 半年前,19岁的谢蕾告别家人和朋友,登上了飞往伦敦的班机。这是她第一次离开中国。“我很激动,也很紧张,不知道会发生什么。”谢蕾回忆道。 谢蕾在中国一所大学攻读商科,来我校参加为期一年的交流项目。“之所以选择这个交流项目,是因为我想了解全球商务,并提高我的英语水平。我的志向是毕业后在中国创办一家企业。”她解释道。 起初,谢蕾不得不去适应异国他乡的生活。“你必须习惯一种全新的生活。”她说,“我得学会使用公共交通,学会要到我不知道英文名称的东西。迷路时,我得向路人求助,但是这里的人讲话语速很快,而且使用的是我不熟悉的单词。我老是让他们重复!” 虽然一些留学生住在学校里,但是谢蕾选择住在寄宿家庭,有助于她适应异国文化。“有第二个家,想家时我会得到些安慰。”谢蕾说。“当我有不知道或不理解的事情时,我可以咨询他们。他们对中国也很感兴趣,我房东的女儿劳拉将来想到中国求学。我们每晚轮流做饭,他们真的很爱吃我做的番茄炒蛋!劳拉说,每次闻到香味,她就感到饥肠辘辘,于是我教她做这道菜。” 谢蕾面临的另一个挑战是学业要求。她第一次写论文时,导师跟她解释说,如果引用别人的观点就一定要注明,不过他主要还是想了解她本人的观点!谢蕾困惑不解,因为她觉得自己懂得没有别人多。她的导师建议她广泛阅读文献,形成自己睿智的观点。 此外,谢蕾发现很多课程的最终成绩都包含学生的课堂参与。学生需要形成观点、提供例子、运用概念、提出问题,并且还要进行展示。刚开始的时候,谢蕾不知道该说些什么。但令她惊喜的是,仅仅几周时间,她就能在课堂上大胆发言了。“我的中国传统艺术展示非常成功,提升了我的自信心。”她说,“回国后,我会将这些技能运用到展示中帮助我未来打造一家强大的企业。” 一年的交换生生涯现已过半,谢蕾感觉在英国过得轻松自如多了。以前看似奇怪的事情现在对她来说显得十分平常。“融入英国文化使我受益匪浅。”她说,“努力学习之余我还参加了一些社交活动。英国人对我们的文化十分着迷，渴望了解更多中国文化,因此我也乐于同他们分享。攻读商科的同时,我也扮演着文化使者的角色,在中外文化之间架起一座桥梁。” 我们会在随后的几期中跟踪报道谢蕾的进展情况,但现在，我们祝她一切顺利。 词块积累 1.complex adj.复杂的；难懂的；(语法)复合的 2.recall vt.& vi.记起；回想起 3.comfort n.安慰；令人感到安慰的人或事物；舒服；安逸vt.安慰；抚慰 4. .insight n.洞察力；眼光 5.deny vt.否认； 否定； 拒绝 6.gain vt.获得；赢得；取得；增加n.好处；增加 7.angle n.角；角度；立场 8.budget n.预算 9.outcome n.结果；效果

语篇品读 https://uww, （高考题源报刊） Erik Nilsson is an American journalist who works at China Daily and is a recipient of the Chinese Government Friendship Award. Nilsson first came to China in 2005 for an internship program in China Daily when he was studying journalism at Central Michigan University. A year later， Nilsson returned to Beijing and joined the newspaper. “I love the food， the culture， the history， and above all， the people. I returned to work in China， and I never left，” he said. Nilsson’s biggest contribution to China is his devotion to telling its stories. Working for China Daily enables Nilsson to share stories from all over China with Chinese and global audiences alike. His videos， narrated （叙述） in slow， clear English， are subtitled （配字幕） in English and Mandarin. Nilsson has coauthored 16 books and won multiple journalism awards， and his videos about China have won nearly 300 million views. As he talks about his “life mission”， it is not pride that stands out， but passion for his work and humility（谦逊） towards the stories he gets to tell. Because of his outstanding journalistic works and long volunteering work， Nilsson was in 2006 awarded the Chinese Government Friendship Award， the highest honor that can be given to foreigners who have contributed to Chinas development. Nilsson， who was then aged 33， was the youngest ever winner of the award. During the Spring Festival reception in 2017， he delivered （发表）a Six-Minute speech on media development. “China is making greater strides （大步） toward the center of the global stage. The country has such a unique history， culture， and even geography that I think its difficult for many people outside the country to understand，” Nilsson said. “Many Western readers said that they gained a more balanced and positive understanding of China after reading my articles and books. Many Chinese readers also said they achieved a deeper understanding of their own country. This is what Im happiest about. There’s an extraordinary value in helping the world better understand China，” he said. 全文翻译 埃里克·尼尔森是在《中国日报》工作的美国记者，是中国政府友谊奖获得者。 2005年，尼尔森第一次来到中国，参加《中国日报》的一个实习项目，当时他正在中密歇根大学学习新闻学。一年后，尼尔森回到北京，加入了该报。“我喜欢这里的食物、文化、历史，最重要的是，这里的人。我回到中国工作，再也没有离开过。” 尼尔森对中国最大的贡献是他致力于讲述中国的故事。在《中国日报》的工作使尼尔森能够与中国和全球的读者分享来自中国各地的故事。他的视频用缓慢、清晰的英语解说，配有英语和普通话字幕。 尼尔森与人合著了16本书，获得了多个新闻奖项，他关于中国的视频获得了近3亿次观看。当他谈到自己的“人生使命”时，最突出的不是骄傲，而是对工作的热情和对自己要讲述的故事的谦逊。 由于他出色的新闻工作和长期的志愿者工作，尼尔森于2006年被授予中国政府友谊奖，这是可以授予为中国发展做出贡献的外国人的最高荣誉。尼尔森当时年仅33岁，是该奖项有史以来最年轻的获奖者。在2017年春节招待会上，他发表了关于媒体发展的六分钟演讲。“中国正大步走向世界舞台的中心。这个国家有如此独特的历史、文化，甚至地理位置，我认为很多外国人很难理解，”尼尔森说。 “许多西方读者表示，在阅读了我的文章和书籍后，他们对中国有了更加平衡和积极的了解。许多中国读者也表示，他们对自己的国家有了更深入的了解。这是我最开心的事。帮助世界更好地了解中国具有非凡的价值，”他说。 词块积累 1 multiple 多元的；多样的 2. outstanding 杰出的 3.delivered 发表 4. unique 独特的 5. extraordinary非凡的

Passage 1
主题语境 主题群 话题 推荐指数
人与社会 文化差异 文章作者通过一些例子讲述了文化差异。 ★★★★
I still remember my father’s embarrassment the day when he was invited to have dinner at a colleague’s house. Freshly arriving in Brazil, and not being able to look up on the Internet, he offended his hosts by making a hand gesture — a circle with the thumb and index finger. He had always understood it to mean “OK”, but in Brazil, it meant something different.
The episode was swiftly forgotten. My father’s colleague understood that he probably wasn’t yet aware of the local meaning of the gesture. He gently explained it meant something rude, and then it was filed away under “things not to be done in Rio”.
I was reminded myself in China. After I replied to a friend’s WeChat message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”, another friend told me I used it wrong.
“The Chinese version is a bit different,” she said, taking out her phone and showing to me. “See these characters They mean ‘I will hit you!’”
Life is full of crossed meanings. In India, you sign to someone to come over with your palm down, not up. And in the Middle East, you never use your left hand for anything public.
As adults, we understand that even if it hurts, a mistake is only an insult (侮辱) when it is deliberate. Yet, many conflicts come from misunderstanding, and history is full of the unfortunate outcomes of cross-cultural communication.
My father’s pre-Internet Brazilian mistake was forgiven because of context — he had just arrived and he didn’t know its local meaning. But when context is absent or simply differently understood — especially in the social media — perhaps it is time we all think twice before typing or talking, especially when the consequences can be more severe than the misuse of a WeChat sticker.
1．What is the topic of the text
A．Cultural difference. B．Language and culture.
C．Sign language. D．Good manners.
2．What does the author want to show by telling his father’s story
A．The OK sign means differently in Brazil.
B．Cross-cultural mistakes are common.
C．The Internet helps to avoid mistakes.
D．Misunderstandings lead to bad results.
3．What did the author mean to do by using the Van Gogh sticker
A．To greet his friend. B．To encourage his friend.
C．To threaten his friend. D．To make fun of his friend.
4．What might result in if there is no context
A．Cultural conflicts. B．Forgiveness. C．Cultural gaps. D．Mutual respect.
【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章作者通过一些例子讲述了文化差异。
1．文章主旨题。根据第一段中的“He had always understood it to mean “OK”, but in Brazil, it meant something different. (他一直理解它的意思是“好”，但在巴西，它的意思有所不同)”和第三段中的“After I replied to a friend’s WeChat message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”, another friend told me I used it wrong.(我回复了一个朋友的微信，上面贴着梵高的贴纸，我认为这意味着“继续战斗”，另一个朋友告诉我我用错了)”及第五段中的“In India, you sign to someone to come over with your palm down, not up. And in the Middle East, you never use your left hand for anything public.(在印度，你给某人签字，让他过来时手掌朝下，而不是朝上。在中东，你不在公共场合使用左手)”可知，文章主要讲述了文化差异。故选A。
2．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He had always understood it to mean “OK”, but in Brazil, it meant something different. (他一直理解它的意思是“好”，但在巴西，它的意思有所不同)”及第二段中的“My father’s colleague understood that he probably wasn’t yet aware of the local meaning of the gesture.(我父亲的同事明白，他可能还没有意识到这个手势的当地含义)”可推知，作者想通过讲述父亲的故事来表明跨文化错误是常见的。故选B。
3．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After I replied to a friend’s WeChat message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”, another friend told me I used it wrong.(我回复了一个朋友的微信，上面贴着梵高的贴纸，我认为这意味着“继续战斗”，另一个朋友告诉我我用错了)”可知，作者打算用梵高的贴纸来鼓励他的朋友。故选B。
4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But when context is absent or simply differently understood — especially in the social media — perhaps it is time we all think twice before typing or talking, especially when the consequences can be more severe than the misuse of a WeChat sticker.(但是，当上下文不存在或只是理解不同时——尤其是在社交媒体上——也许是我们在打字或说话之前三思的时候了，尤其是当后果可能比滥用微信贴纸更严重的时候)”可知, 如果没有上下文，可能会导致文化冲突。故选A。

人与社会 文化差异 文章主要讲述了不同文化对独处的不同看法。 ★★★
Society tells us we should socialise to the fullest, and that those who are surrounded by people are the most successful and the happiest. These days, we’re almost always connected, whether in person or through our phone screens and online social networks. But there’s something to be said for solitude(独处), “Being alone doesn’t necessarily mean being lonely”. In fact, spending time by yourself is an essential element of self-care.
Around the globe, different cultures have wide-ranging perspectives on what it means to spend time alone. If you live or have spent time in the United States, you’re probably aware that Americans tend to reject solitude. For many younger people, weekends are packed with social activities, ranging from brunch with friends to dinner parties to game nights to drinking at bars and everything in between.
The United States isn’t the only place where you’ll find a heavy emphasis on social time. Across the Atlantic, the United Kingdom is known for being an extremely extroverted(外向型的)country. A survey of Brits found that more than half had never done and would be unwilling to do activities like going to theme parks or seeing live music alone. Most Brits spend almost twice as much of their leisure time socialising with others as they do being alone.
The home can be a place of rest, relaxation and recharge—that is, if you live by yourself or have the space to be alone in your home. The country in which people are least likely to live alone is India, at about 4 percent of the population. China is also quite fond of multiple-person households, with only about 10 percent of people living by themselves. In more collectivist cultures like these, many aspects of life are related to community. Thus, spending time alone isn’t as ingrained(根深蒂固的)as a social convention in places like these, and the good of the group takes priority over the needs of one person.
5．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．People can benefit more from solitude.
B．People tend to socialise more nowadays.
C．Being alone generally equals being lonely.
D．Being alone enables people to be carefree.
6．Which of the following best describes young Americans
A．Imaginative and wild. B．Responsible and energetic.
C．Optimistic and dutiful. D．Outgoing and sociable.
7．Why are most Chinese people more likely to live together
A．Because they share a specific culture.
B．Because they lack some local customs.
C．Because they possess enough home space.
D．Because they give priority to their own needs.
8．What’s the best title for the passage
A．The Essence of Self-care B．Enjoy Solitude, Enjoy Yourself
C．The Functions of Different Cultures D．The Perspectives on Solitude
【答案】5．B 6．D 7．A 8．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了不同文化对独处的不同看法。
5．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Society tells us we should socialise to the fullest, and that those who are surrounded by people are the most successful and the happiest. These days, we’re almost always connected, whether in person or through our phone screens and online social networks.(社会告诉我们，我们应该充分地社交，那些被人包围的人是最成功和最快乐的。如今，我们几乎总是联系在一起，无论是面对面，还是通过手机屏幕和在线社交网络。)”可知，如今我们几乎总是联系在一起，无论是面对面还是通过手机屏幕和社交网络；由此可推知，如今的人们更倾向于社交。故选B项。
6．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“If you live or have spent time in the United States, you’re probably aware that Americans tend to reject solitude. For many younger people, weekends are packed with social activities, ranging from brunch with friends to dinner parties to game nights to drinking at bars and everything in between.(如果你住在美国或曾在美国生活过一段时间，你可能会意识到美国人倾向于拒绝独处。对许多年轻人来说，周末充满了社交活动，从和朋友吃早午餐到晚宴，从游戏之夜到酒吧喝酒，以及介于这两者之间的一切。)”可知，美国的年轻人周末充满了社交活动。由此可推知，美国的年轻人都比较好社交。故选D项。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“China is also quite fond of multiple-person households, with only about 10 percent of people living by themselves. In more collectivist cultures like these, many aspects of life are related to around community.(中国也很喜欢多口之家，只有大约10%的人独自生活。在这些更集体主义的文化中，生活的许多方面都与周围的社区有关。)”可知，大多数中国人更喜欢住在一起的原因是中国这种集体主义文化。故选A项。
8．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段首句“Around the globe, different cultures have wide-ranging perspectives on what it means to spend time alone.(在世界各地，不同的文化对独处的意义有着不同的看法。)”可知不同的文化对独处有着不同的看法；文章第二、三、四段分别谈到了美国、英国、印度和中国等国家的人对独处的看法。由此可知，本文主要谈到了不同国家对独处的看法。D项“The Perspectives on Solitude(对独处的看法)”最能概括本文内容。故选D项。

Unique Chinese Cultural Heritages
The Old Grand Canal
The 2,500-year-old Grand Canal-the world’s longest man-made waterway, half of which is used even today—made it to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014. It links several major rivers across the country, including the Yangtze, Huaihe and Yellow, and runs through the cities of Beijing and Tianjin, besides the provinces of Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The Forbidden City
The birth of the Forbidden City, China’s imperial palace of the Ming (1368—1644) and Qing(1644—1911) dynasties in Beijing, is closely linked to the Grand Canal. The waterway promoted transport of materials for construction of the palace complex and helped transport workers.
Peking Opera Peking
Opera is a great form of the Chinese art of entertainment. It was formed in Beijing under the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911) by taking in characters of Huiju, Kunqu and Qinqiang operas. It gathers singing, acting, gymnastics and wushu arts, and was listed as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2010.
New Year Painting
Lunar(阴历的)New Year woodblock painting was a popular folk(民间的)art in areas along the grand waterway. These paintings are bright and lively, and mainly use the color red, which is considered to suit both festivals and happy events. Patterns are closely related to the life and livelihood of Chinese people. Paintings from Tianjin, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces are the most popular.
Yunjin
Yunjin,or cloud brocade (锦缎), is a unique silk craft native to Nanjing city in Jiangsu province. It is famous for its splendid patterns and gentle feel, which make it more valuable than gold. In 2009, Nanjing brocade was listed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
9．What do we know about the Old Grand Canal
A．It affected the style of Forbidden City. B．It helped put up the Forbidden City.
C．It was created for the Forbidden City. D．It linked the Forbidden City at its end.
10．What do Peking Opera and Yunjin have in common
A．They bring enjoyment to people.
B．They are expensive to appreciate.
C．They are formed in the Qing Dynasty.
D．They are listed on the UNESCO.
11．Which of the following is related to the Spring Festival
A．Yunjin. B．Peking Opera.
C．New Year Painting. D．The Forbidden City.
【答案】9．B 10．D 11．C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了五种中国文化遗产，它们是古代大运河、京剧、木版年画、紫禁城和云锦。
9．细节理解题。根据The Forbidden City中“The birth of the Forbidden City, China’s imperial palace of the Ming (1368—1644) and Qing(1644—1911) dynasties in Beijing, is closely linked to the Grand Canal. The waterway promoted transport of materials for construction of the palace complex and helped transport workers.（紫禁城是中国明(1368-1644)和清(1644-1911)王朝在北京的皇宫，它的诞生与大运河密切相关。这条水路促进了宫殿建筑群建筑材料的运输，并帮助了运输工人。）”可知，紫禁城的诞生与大运河密切相关。这条水路促进了宫殿建筑群建筑材料的运输，并帮助了运输工人。即大运河有助于紫禁城的建设。故选B。
10．细节理解题。根据Peking Opera Peking中“Opera is a great form of the Chinese art of entertainment. It was formed in Beijing under the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911) by taking in characters of Huiju, Kunqu and Qinqiang operas. It gathers singing, acting, gymnastics and wushu arts, and was listed as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2010.（歌剧是中国娱乐艺术的一种伟大形式。它是清朝(1644-1911)时期在北京形成的，吸收了徽剧、昆曲和秦腔的人物。它集歌唱、表演、体操和武术于一体，于2010年被联合国教科文组织列为非物质文化遗产。）”和Yunjin中“Yunjin,or cloud brocade (锦缎), is a unique silk craft native to Nanjing city in Jiangsu province. It is famous for its splendid patterns and gentle feel, which make it more valuable than gold. In 2009, Nanjing brocade was listed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.（云锦，或称云锦，是一种独特的丝绸工艺，原产于江苏省南京市。它以其华丽的图案和柔软的手感而闻名，这使它比黄金更有价值。2009年，南京锦被列入联合国教科文组织《人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录》。）”可知，京剧和云锦的共同之处就是都被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化代表作名录。故选D。
11．细节理解题。根据对New Year painting的介绍“Lunar(阴历的)New Year woodblock painting was a popular folk(民间的)art in areas along the grand waterway. These paintings are bright and lively, and mainly use the color red, which is considered to suit both festivals and happy events. Patterns are closely related to the life and livelihood of Chinese people. Paintings from Tianjin, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces are the most popular.（木版年画是大江流域一带流行的民间艺术。这些画明亮活泼，主要使用红色，被认为适合节日和快乐的事件。图案与中国人的生活和生计密切相关。天津、山东和江苏的画作最受欢迎。）”可知，木版年画是大水道沿线地区流行的民间艺术。年画与春节有关，即与节日有关。故选C。

"You have to get used to a whole new life,” she said.“I had to learn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didn’t know the Englishnamesfor.When I got lost, I had to askpassers-by for help, but people here speak fast and use words l'm not familiar with. I ask them to repeat themselves a lot!" Although some foreign students live in campus accommodation，Xie Lei chose to live with a host family. who can help with her adaptation to the new culture."When I miss home,I feel comforted to have a second family," Xie Lei said. "When there's something I don't know or understand, I can ask them. They are also keen to learn about China. Laura, the daughter of my host family, wants to study in China in the future. We take turns to cook each evening.They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs! Laura says she always feels hungry when she smells it, so I taught her how to cook it, too." Another challenge for Xie Lei is the academic requirements. The first time that she had to write an essay, her tutor explained that she must acknowledge what other people had said if she cited their ideas, but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought! Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than other people. Her tutor advised her to read lots of information in order to form a wise opinion of her own. Xie Lei also found many courses included students' participation in class as part of the final result. Students need to generate ideas, offer examples, apply concepts, and raise questions, "As well as give presentations. At first, Xie Lei had no idea what she should say but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks."My presentation on traditional Chinese art was a great success, which boosted my confidence." she said. "I'll use these skills back home for presentations. They'll help me build a strong business in the future". Now halfway through her exchange year, Xie Lei feels much more at home in the UK. What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her. "Engaging in British culture has helped," she said.“As well as studying hard, I've been involved in social activities. British people are fascinated by our culture and eager to learn more about it,so I'm keen to share my culture with them. While I'm learning about business, I'm also acting as a cultural messenger building a bridge between us." We will follow Xie Lei's progress in later editions,but for now, we wish her all the best. 全文翻译 “欢迎你,谢蕾!” 商科学生搭建文化交流的桥梁 半年前,19岁的谢蕾告别家人和朋友,登上了飞往伦敦的班机。这是她第一次离开中国。“我很激动,也很紧张,不知道会发生什么。”谢蕾回忆道。 谢蕾在中国一所大学攻读商科,来我校参加为期一年的交流项目。“之所以选择这个交流项目,是因为我想了解全球商务,并提高我的英语水平。我的志向是毕业后在中国创办一家企业。”她解释道。 起初,谢蕾不得不去适应异国他乡的生活。“你必须习惯一种全新的生活。”她说,“我得学会使用公共交通,学会要到我不知道英文名称的东西。迷路时,我得向路人求助,但是这里的人讲话语速很快,而且使用的是我不熟悉的单词。我老是让他们重复!” 虽然一些留学生住在学校里,但是谢蕾选择住在寄宿家庭,有助于她适应异国文化。“有第二个家,想家时我会得到些安慰。”谢蕾说。“当我有不知道或不理解的事情时,我可以咨询他们。他们对中国也很感兴趣,我房东的女儿劳拉将来想到中国求学。我们每晚轮流做饭,他们真的很爱吃我做的番茄炒蛋!劳拉说,每次闻到香味,她就感到饥肠辘辘,于是我教她做这道菜。” 谢蕾面临的另一个挑战是学业要求。她第一次写论文时,导师跟她解释说,如果引用别人的观点就一定要注明,不过他主要还是想了解她本人的观点!谢蕾困惑不解,因为她觉得自己懂得没有别人多。她的导师建议她广泛阅读文献,形成自己睿智的观点。 此外,谢蕾发现很多课程的最终成绩都包含学生的课堂参与。学生需要形成观点、提供例子、运用概念、提出问题,并且还要进行展示。刚开始的时候,谢蕾不知道该说些什么。但令她惊喜的是,仅仅几周时间,她就能在课堂上大胆发言了。“我的中国传统艺术展示非常成功,提升了我的自信心。”她说,“回国后,我会将这些技能运用到展示中帮助我未来打造一家强大的企业。” 一年的交换生生涯现已过半,谢蕾感觉在英国过得轻松自如多了。以前看似奇怪的事情现在对她来说显得十分平常。“融入英国文化使我受益匪浅。”她说,“努力学习之余我还参加了一些社交活动。英国人对我们的文化十分着迷，渴望了解更多中国文化,因此我也乐于同他们分享。攻读商科的同时,我也扮演着文化使者的角色,在中外文化之间架起一座桥梁。” 我们会在随后的几期中跟踪报道谢蕾的进展情况,但现在，我们祝她一切顺利。 词块积累 1.complex adj.复杂的；难懂的；(语法)复合的 2.recall vt.& vi.记起；回想起 3.comfort n.安慰；令人感到安慰的人或事物；舒服；安逸vt.安慰；抚慰 4. .insight n.洞察力；眼光 5.deny vt.否认； 否定； 拒绝 6.gain vt.获得；赢得；取得；增加n.好处；增加 7.angle n.角；角度；立场 8.budget n.预算 9.outcome n.结果；效果

Nilsson first came to China in 2005 for an internship program in China Daily when he was studying journalism at Central Michigan University. A year later， Nilsson returned to Beijing and joined the newspaper. “I love the food， the culture， the history， and above all， the people. I returned to work in China， and I never left，” he said. Nilsson’s biggest contribution to China is his devotion to telling its stories. Working for China Daily enables Nilsson to share stories from all over China with Chinese and global audiences alike.

Nilsson has coauthored 16 books and won multiple journalism awards， and his videos about China have won nearly 300 million views. As he talks about his “life mission”， it is not pride that stands out， but passion for his work and humility（谦逊） towards the stories he gets to tell. Because of his outstanding journalistic works and long volunteering work， Nilsson was in 2006 awarded the Chinese Government Friendship Award， the highest honor that can be given to foreigners who have contributed to Chinas development. Nilsson， who was then aged 33， was the youngest ever winner of the award. During the Spring Festival reception in 2017， he delivered （发表）a Six-Minute speech on media development. “China is making greater strides （大步） toward the center of the global stage.

人与社会 文化差异 文章作者通过一些例子讲述了文化差异。 ★★★★
I still remember my father’s embarrassment the day when he was invited to have dinner at a colleague’s house. Freshly arriving in Brazil, and not being able to look up on the Internet, he offended his hosts by making a hand gesture — a circle with the thumb and index finger. He had always understood it to mean “OK”, but in Brazil, it meant something different.
The episode was swiftly forgotten. My father’s colleague understood that he probably wasn’t yet aware of the local meaning of the gesture. He gently explained it meant something rude, and then it was filed away under “things not to be done in Rio”.
I was reminded myself in China. After I replied to a friend’s WeChat message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”, another friend told me I used it wrong.
“The Chinese version is a bit different,” she said, taking out her phone and showing to me. “See these characters They mean ‘I will hit you!’”
Life is full of crossed meanings. In India, you sign to someone to come over with your palm down, not up. And in the Middle East, you never use your left hand for anything public.
As adults, we understand that even if it hurts, a mistake is only an insult (侮辱) when it is deliberate. Yet, many conflicts come from misunderstanding, and history is full of the unfortunate outcomes of cross-cultural communication.
My father’s pre-Internet Brazilian mistake was forgiven because of context — he had just arrived and he didn’t know its local meaning. But when context is absent or simply differently understood — especially in the social media — perhaps it is time we all think twice before typing or talking, especially when the consequences can be more severe than the misuse of a WeChat sticker.
1．What is the topic of the text
A．Cultural difference. B．Language and culture.
C．Sign language. D．Good manners.
2．What does the author want to show by telling his father’s story
A．The OK sign means differently in Brazil.
B．Cross-cultural mistakes are common.
C．The Internet helps to avoid mistakes.
D．Misunderstandings lead to bad results.
3．What did the author mean to do by using the Van Gogh sticker
A．To greet his friend. B．To encourage his friend.
C．To threaten his friend. D．To make fun of his friend.
4．What might result in if there is no context
A．Cultural conflicts. B．Forgiveness. C．Cultural gaps. D．Mutual respect.

人与社会 文化差异 文章主要讲述了不同文化对独处的不同看法。 ★★★
Society tells us we should socialise to the fullest, and that those who are surrounded by people are the most successful and the happiest. These days, we’re almost always connected, whether in person or through our phone screens and online social networks. But there’s something to be said for solitude(独处), “Being alone doesn’t necessarily mean being lonely”. In fact, spending time by yourself is an essential element of self-care.
Around the globe, different cultures have wide-ranging perspectives on what it means to spend time alone. If you live or have spent time in the United States, you’re probably aware that Americans tend to reject solitude. For many younger people, weekends are packed with social activities, ranging from brunch with friends to dinner parties to game nights to drinking at bars and everything in between.
The United States isn’t the only place where you’ll find a heavy emphasis on social time. Across the Atlantic, the United Kingdom is known for being an extremely extroverted(外向型的)country. A survey of Brits found that more than half had never done and would be unwilling to do activities like going to theme parks or seeing live music alone. Most Brits spend almost twice as much of their leisure time socialising with others as they do being alone.
The home can be a place of rest, relaxation and recharge—that is, if you live by yourself or have the space to be alone in your home. The country in which people are least likely to live alone is India, at about 4 percent of the population. China is also quite fond of multiple-person households, with only about 10 percent of people living by themselves. In more collectivist cultures like these, many aspects of life are related to community. Thus, spending time alone isn’t as ingrained(根深蒂固的)as a social convention in places like these, and the good of the group takes priority over the needs of one person.
5．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．People can benefit more from solitude.
B．People tend to socialise more nowadays.
C．Being alone generally equals being lonely.
D．Being alone enables people to be carefree.
6．Which of the following best describes young Americans
A．Imaginative and wild. B．Responsible and energetic.
C．Optimistic and dutiful. D．Outgoing and sociable.
7．Why are most Chinese people more likely to live together
A．Because they share a specific culture.
B．Because they lack some local customs.
C．Because they possess enough home space.
D．Because they give priority to their own needs.
8．What’s the best title for the passage
A．The Essence of Self-care B．Enjoy Solitude, Enjoy Yourself
C．The Functions of Different Cultures D．The Perspectives on Solitude

Unique Chinese Cultural Heritages
The Old Grand Canal
The 2,500-year-old Grand Canal-the world’s longest man-made waterway, half of which is used even today—made it to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014.

These paintings are bright and lively, and mainly use the color red, which is considered to suit both festivals and happy events. Patterns are closely related to the life and livelihood of Chinese people. Paintings from Tianjin, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces are the most popular.
Yunjin
Yunjin,or cloud brocade (锦缎), is a unique silk craft native to Nanjing city in Jiangsu province. It is famous for its splendid patterns and gentle feel, which make it more valuable than gold.
