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,was born in Beijing,but left home at 20 and has studied and lived in the US,the UK,and France for many years.Having seen so many cultures,Cao wanted to use her drawing skills to show the differences she has experienced.So she created a cartoon series.
“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.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.

“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Marie says “Have a nice day!” with a smile,I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day.Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out of the door.The words come out in the same tone(腔调) with a fixed procedure.They are spoken at me,not to me.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it,you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say,“Oh,you just had a tooth out I’m terribly sorry but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you,you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere,meaningless social custom at times,there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl,the waitress,the teacher,and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way,it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere,it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
( B )31.How does the author understand Marie’s words
A.Marie shows her anxiety to the author.
B.Marie really wishes the author a good day.
C.Marie encourages the author to stay happy.

D.share his pleasure with you
( C )34.According to the last paragraph,people say “Have a nice day!” .

Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than “I’m sorry”.This phrase has become such a common response(反应) that it has taken on a lot of meanings.
Saying “sorry” means to apologize(道歉).This is simple and easy to understand. We learn it both as a native speaker and as a student of foreign languages.
But in Britain,it takes on another meaning.It is a cultural expression.Imagine this: a man walks down the street,looking down at his phone.A woman is walking in the opposite direction,towards the man.She sees him,but she can’t get out of the way in time.The man bumps(碰撞)into the woman.Who should say sorry Naturally,the man should say sorry,because it was he who wasn’t looking where he was going.Yet in Britain,it is common for both to apologize.
It is known that British people,like most people,do not enjoy conflict(冲突).So to quickly calm the situation,British people will apologize to each other.
Other times it may sound funny to hear “sorry”.Some of my friends say it at restaurants,as they ask the waiter,“Sorry,but can I order another drink ” It is not to apologize,but just to express that we need the waiter.In Britain,“sorry” doesn’t always mean exactly what you think.
( B )41.According to the passage,saying “sorry” is a cultural expression in .
A.the USA B.the UK
C.the WWF D.the UN
( C )42.What does the underlined phrase “taken on” mean in Paragraph 1

C.呈现 D.拿起
( B )43.The example in the third paragraph is used to .
A.describe a situation that people should avoid
B.describe how “sorry” has another meaning in Britain
C.explain why people should say sorry to each other
D.show how impolite British people are
( D )44.The restaurant example shows that “sorry” can be used to .
A.apologize
B.calm a situation down
C.explain what you’re thinking about
D.ask a waiter to bring something
( A )45.What might be a good title for the passage
