一、阅读理解
What are the cultural differences between China and the West You might be able to find the answer in Cao’s comics(漫画).
Cao was born in Beijing, but left home at 20 and has studied and lived in the US, the UK and France for over ten 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 preferences 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(热气腾腾的).
Cao also uses her cartoons to show different ways of thinking and social customs. “Her simple pictures have played a big part in reflecting Chinese culture,” an 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.

In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts（主人）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 host sometimes look rude（粗鲁的）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 behavior for a guest.
My wife’s mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, 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 in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American 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 do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
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 house, 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.
6．Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the ________ in the world
A．best B．worst C．most natural D．most different
7．When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ________.
A．buys some fruit B．feels like a god
C．wants some gifts D．takes a cup of tea
8．If the writer’s guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say
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.
9．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
10．What is the main idea of this passage
A．Foreigners should learn from Chinese.
B．Hosts must do things in the guests’ way.
C．Western hosts are always nice to guests.
D．People should understand cultural differences.

Cooking betters math learning.
Schools do not just teach how to prepare delicious meals. Students are also taught to follow the instructions in a standard when mixing ingredients. If it is, ‘add 1/4 spoon of salt,’ students should only add that amount. So there is no more or less.
