Ⅱ.阅读理解(20分)
A
Some friends and I went to a bar to have a few beers before dinner.Beer is expensive in Japan and so we only ordered a few pitchers(罐).
We finished the beers,asked for the bill and left the money on the table.The bill was 4,990 yen.We left 5,000 yen,thanked the waiter and left.As we were walking in the street,we heard someone shouting behind us,waving some money.We quickly realized it was the waiter from the bar.
He didn't speak English.We didn't speak Japanese.But he was running to follow us just for giving us the 10 yen in change.A tip(小费)doesn't come in Japan.When you leave a tip,it's only the problem of the waiter who has to give it back to you.From then on,I never tipped but waited for my change everywhere I went in Japan.
Later I was in Shenzhen,China,and a family stopped me and my wife.They asked us if they could have their children take a photo with us.They were visitors from another part of the country and had never seen an American before.
A similar thing happened in Shanghai.This time I was alone walking across the Waibaidu Bridge,and a group of teenage girls asked me if I could pose with them for a photo.I was happy to do it and let them laugh a lot when taking the photo.
Another surprise took place when I was in Pudong,Shanghai and couldn't find the way to the subway.I asked a man near me for help.He nodded quickly and told me to follow him.We went about 4 blocks(街区) and then he pointed to the entrance,smiled,turned and walked away.I had no time to offer him a tip.However,it's a good thing because giving a tip for the help might be an insult(侮辱).I couldn't believe that he had helped a stranger so much.
Again,similar experiences often happen to me across China.The friendliness of the people,their kindness,and their warmth are wonderful.However,I hardly experience such kindness in my own country.
( B )1.Where might the writer come from
A.Japan. B.The USA.
C.China. D.The UK.
解析:推理判断题。根据“They were visitors from another part of the country and had never seen an American before.”可知,作者可能来自美国。故选B。
( D )2.Who does the writer think could be the kindest to him in the passage
A.The Japanese waiter.
B.The family he met in Shenzhen.
C.The group of teenage girls.
D.The man who helped him in Pudong.
解析:细节理解题。根据第六段“I couldn't believe that he had helped a stranger so much.”可知,作者在上海的时候找不到去地铁的路,一个男人耐心、不求回报的帮助让作者惊讶。因此在作者心里,这个帮助他的男人应该是最善良的。故选D。
( D )3.How does the writer tell what people in different countries are like
A.By sharing others' traveling experiences.
B.By asking the local people for advice.
C.By sharing what he read in the books.
D.By sharing his own experiences in those countries.

( C )4.What does the underlined part “similar experiences” refer to
A.The experiences that show honesty.
B.The experiences that show respect.
C.The experiences that show kindness or warmth.

解析:词义猜测题。根据最后一段内容可知,中国人民的友好,他们的善良,他们的温暖是美妙的,但是作者在自己的国家却很少经历这样的友好,此处“similar experiences”应该指的是像在中国一样善良或温暖的经历。故选C。
( D )5.What does the writer mainly want to tell us through the passage
A.Chinese people always friendly,kind and warm.
B.Japanese people never give a tip when they get service.
C.Chinese people enjoy taking photos with foreigners.
D.There are different cultures in different countries.

B
Everywhere in the world there are different ways of behaving.When we meet someone,everything we say and do expresses our cultural background. So if you want to get on with someone from another culture,it is helpful to understand something about these differences.
Even how we stand depends on our culture.English people talk to each other at an average(平均) distance of 130 cm,while Italians chat at an average distance of 80 cm.So Italians may think that English people are unfriendly because they stand too far away! And English people may think that Italians are too close.
Touching is also cultural.The French touch much more than Americans.A French couple may touch 100 times in half an hour while an American couple may only touch twice! And French teenagers touch each other much more than American teens.
