三、阅读理解
Living in a culture that is different from your own can be a both exciting and challenging experience. You have to learn different cultural practices and try to fit in with them.
Privacy—Chinese people don’t have the same idea of privacy as Americans do. Chinese people often talk about ages, income or marriage, but Americans think it’s impolite to talk about them.
Family—It’s a tradition in China to show great respect to the elders and give love and care to the young. American families usually try to encourage independence, especially the independence of children. Unlike the Chinese, old Americans don’t like to live with their children.
Friends—Chinese people and Americans have different opinions about friends. For the Chinese, just hanging out together from time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends. They feel deeply honest to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call all the people they meet “friends”, so the meaning of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.
Money—As is well known, the Chinese like to save. They are always clever to spend little when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for future use or education.
Education—Chinese people usually think education is very important in life. Well, Americans pay more attention to good character and faith (信仰).
Collectivism vs. Individualism (集体主义与个人主义)—If you achieve something in the US, it’s because you are great and have the ability. While in China, if you achieve something, it’s because the team or the family is great.

Last year I went on holiday to southern Spain with my best friends, Jenny and Alice.
B
The Spanish people are very warm to visitors. Although I suggest you should know a few simple words in Spanish to communicate with local people, the Spanish people are willing (乐意的) to speak in English. When we arrived, we didn’t know where to find a hotel. I came to an old man and asked him for help politely. With his help, we got to a cheap but wonderful hotel, which even had a swimming pool. There we really enjoyed ourselves.
This year, Jenny is going to the UK with her parents, so it will be just Alice and me. Alice wants us to go on an adventure holiday in Africa. That means we have to go walking in the desert and sleep out in the open. She says it will be better than having a lazy holiday because we will learn about the world around us and see some wild animals. I’m not sure whether I want to go to Africa. For me, a holiday means relaxing on a beach not walking all the way. Alice says that we will see elephants and have some amazing experiences. I think she’s bored with lying in the sun all day. I have to make up my mind by next Monday so that she can buy plane tickets. It will cost 1,400 each to go to Africa but for two weeks in France, less than half that money will be enough.
26．Which word can best describe the old man
A．Funny. B．Serious. C．Kind. D．Shy.
27．Where is Jenny going this year
A．To France. B．To the UK. C．To Africa. D．To Spain.
28．Who is looking forward to an exciting holiday
A．Jenny. B．Alice. C．Jenny’s friend. D．Alice’s parents.
29．What will the writer do by next Monday
A．Make a travel plan. B．Tell her friend her decision.
C．Find some information about Africa. D．Buy plane tickets.
30．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．Alice doesn’t like to see wild animals.
B．The Spanish people don’t like to speak in English.
C．The three girls had a good time in the cheap hotel.
D．The writer hopes for a cheap holiday.
C
Giving Directions in Different Places
If you ask people from different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office ”, you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. 31． The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. 32．”
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” 33．
Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know”. 34． They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
35． You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!
A．Turn east, and then go another mile.
B．But one thing will help you everywhere.
C．People there think “I don’t know” is not polite.
D．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.
E．Because they don’t want to talk much with strangers.
F．Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office.
