You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to go.” If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there.

What are the cultural differences between China and the West You might be able to find the answer in Cao Siyu’s comics (漫画). Cao, 32, was born in Beijing, but left home at 20 and has studied and lived in the US, the UK, and France for 12 years. Having seen so many cultures, Cao wanted to use her drawing skills to show the differences she has experienced. So she created the cartoon series Tiny Eyes Comics.
“My experience shows that although travel is much easier and faster today, the distance (距离) between cultures hasn’t shortened,” Cao said. She hopes to build bridges and break down misunderstandings between different cultures. One of her cartoons shows water forms in different countries. Three glasses of water are shown. The glass of water from the US has ice; the one from France is full of sparkling water (气泡水); the one from China is steaming (冒热气的).
Cao also uses her cartoons to show different ways of thinking and social customs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she used her comics to explain why Chinese people prefer to wear masks while western people don’t. “Her simple pictures have played a big part in reflecting Chinese culture,” Italian magazine Grazia reported.
Many foreign readers say that Cao’s comics help them understand China, while Chinese living abroad have felt that they are seen and understood.
She said that this voice has been the biggest motivation (动力) for her to keep creating.

A quieter sort of people
People say you know a group of tourists are American because you can hear them down the street. While “Americans are loud” is a stereotype, perhaps there is some truth in it. It must be a stereotype for a reason.
One complaint about Americans is that they are rude or arrogant, and this shows in the loud way that they talk. Americans are a contrast to British people who do things differently. There is something called the “British reserve” that runs throughout British culture.
It began over 100 years ago. When Britain entered the Victorian era (1837-1901), attitudes in the country changed. Customs became more formal, and society became strict in its morals.
Some of these changes affect culture today, especially British reserve. It helps to explain why people in the UK are obsessed with making polite queues. If you watch people waiting for a bus, you will notice the people automatically make a formal line, one after the other. Even if there is only one person waiting they will be right next to the stop – the first in the queue.
British reserve also carries the idea that it is better to hide emotion or feelings. This is also known as a “stiff upper lip”. It means that you are strong when faced with difficulty and don't let your emotions affect you.
But this can be a negative too. It can mean that you don't show emotion when you should. When Princess Diana died in 1992, Queen Elizabeth II was criticized for having a stiff upper lip, and not showing that she was sad.
To foreigners, British reserve is often rudeness. When they ask for directions in the street, they might get an abrupt reply. It might not be the friendliest way to be, but it's not supposed to offend.
In truth, the British could do with relaxing a little. Perhaps they could learn something from the Americans.
51．What is one complaint about Americans mentioned in the passage
A．They are too reserved.
B．They are obsessed with making polite queues.
C．They are often criticized for having a stiff upper lip.
D．They are seemed as rude or arrogant due to their loud way of talking.
52．According to the passage, what is a negative aspect of the “stiff upper lip” concept
A．It leads to being overly emotional in difficult situations.
B．It results in excessive politeness and formality.
C．It prevents people from showing emotion when necessary.
D．It causes people to criticize Queen Elizabeth II.
53．What is the author's opinion about the British reserve at the end of the passage
A．The British reserve is a positive aspect of British culture.
B．The British reserve is a negative trait that the British should change.
C．The British should maintain their reserve, but also learn from Americans.
D．The British reserve is unnecessary and causes misunderstandings.
54．What does the underlined word “negative” mean in Chinese
A．积极的 B．消极的 C．乐观的 D．兴奋的
55．What is the main idea of the passage
A．The cultural differences between Americans and British people, focusing on communication styles.
B．The negative impact of British reserve on emotional expression and societal behavior.
C．A comparison of stereotypes about Americans and the historical origins of British reserve.
D．The criticism of British reserve and the suggestion that the British could learn from Americans.
D

You may have already forgotten the days when you had to learn how to use chopsticks. Every Chinese kid struggles (斗争) with them for some time. 57 They come with their own special rules and traditions.
58 Playing with chopsticks is seen as bad manners, just as making noise with forks and knives in a Western country would be rude.
There are also some superstitions (迷信) related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense (香) that Chinese use to honor the dead. 59
You should not tap chopsticks on the edge of the bowl either, as beggars do this to ask for food. Parents may get mad if children do this as they don’t want their children to be as poor as beggars in the future.
Apart from being tableware, chopsticks can also be a great gift. 60 Newlyweds (新婚夫妇) sometimes receive chopsticks as a wedding gift. Skilled craftsmen paint beautiful images on chopsticks to make them look like fine artworks.
短文还原。根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文中空缺处，使短文内容完整、通顺，每个选项只能用一次，其中有一个选项是多余的。
A．How Chinese kids learn to use chopsticks
B．People should not make noise with chopsticks.
C．Learn the rules and traditions behind chopsticks.
D．Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck.
E．But chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food.
F．In Chinese, “chopsticks” reads “kuaizi”, which means to have babies soon.

61．例文：
Dear Kate,
I’m glad to receive your email. Now I want to tell you something about the Chinese table manners.
In China, we must wait until everyone is at the table. And when the dinner starts, the host doesn’t eat every dish first. He waits for the guests and elders to dig in. We don’t tap bowls with the chopsticks, which is considered impolite. We shouldn’t reach across the table to get something to eat, because in that case, we may break or knock something over. Besides, we usually toast good health or success of the host and thank him for his treat.
Hope to see you in China and everything goes well.
Yours,
Li Hui
