三、阅读理解 (20%)
(A)
I entered a university after years of hard study. I thought my life would be full of happiness and knowledge. But my life in the university is not as what I had expected. Then I became lazy and silent, even puzzled (困惑). I don’t know what my future would be like.
Four years in the university is only a short period. And a half of it has passed already. This year, many people, such as my parents and my friends, asked me what I wanted to do and they all told me to make a plan for my life with their thought. I don’t want to take their advice. I want my own style. So I think carefully.
I have been a young volunteer for five years. It has been a happy time and it is a big thing for me. Then I have a dream to join the University Student Volunteer Go West Program. I think I can be a teacher in the west. I would like to try my best to help them. I want to see the world clearly. To make it come true, I will work harder in the next two years. There is an old saying “Where there is a will, there is a way”. I think my dream will come true in the near future.
At last, I want to say to everybody, “Never give up your dreams, no matter how big or small they are. The path to dream may not be smooth and wide. Even there are some difficulties you will face. But hold on to the end, you can find there is no greater happiness than making our dream come true.”

All residents (居民): Rules for living in Parkrise Flats
We all want to live comfortably and safely here, so here are a few simple rules which we think all residents should follow.
Rubbish Rubbish collection is on Tuesdays. Please do not leave rubbish bags out before Tuesday as birds and animals can break into them and they smell.
Washing There is a washing line for every flat in the garden next to the car park. Please only dry your washing on these lines, so it does not disturb (干扰) people in the ground floor flats.
Cleaning The main stairs (楼梯) are cleaned twice a week by the Association (协会), so please try to keep them tidy and clean and do not leave furniture or bags on the stairs or in the hallways.
Lights The main lights are on a timer and they stay on for five minutes when you press them. Please tell the Association if any lights are not working.
Noise Residents should make less noise. Loud music, etc. can disturb other people and the Association will get in touch with you if you make too much noise.
Safety Make sure the main outside door is always locked and do not let anyone into the main building unless (除非) you know who they are. Sometimes people try to get into the main stairs and then break into flats, so do not let people in unless they are coming to see you.
Parking Each flat has one car parking space. These are numbered and are at the back of the building. Do not use another resident’s space. If you have more than one car, you will have to park it on the road. Do not park where you are blocking entrances (堵住入口).

Taboos (禁忌) of different people’s culture
A taboo (忌讳，禁忌) is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has its own taboos. The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I learned this through my own experience.? Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners (外国人) around our city. Mr Singh was from India and Mr. White from USA. When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr. Singh seemed to be unhappy. Mr. White, however, was quite casual (随意). He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand.? In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn’t touch the beef and Mr. White seemed not to like chickens’ claws (爪). During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and continued to explain that we didn’t know it was a taboo in India to shake one’s left hand. Mr. Singh explained that since oxen (牛) are sacred (神圣的) in India, people don’t eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that it was not usual in the USA for people to eat chickens’ claws. He went on to say that Americans don’t usually get into each other’s personal (私人的) space. Marriage, job and age are their taboos. Isn’t it a good lesson to remember?
Main idea
The taboos in every country are (1) . People sometimes feel?unhappy?if one breaks a taboo.
Facts
In India
Indians don’t eat beef because they think oxen are sacred.
It’s (2) to shake one’s left hand.
In the USA
It’s not a taboo, but Americans (3) eat chickens’ claws.
Americans don’t usually get into each other’s personal space. For example, they usually don’t ask someone else’s marriage, job or?(4) .
Conclusion
If you (5) taboos, you can get on well with the people from different cultures.
