When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a "wolf". But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness? Have you read the book The Wolf Totem (狼图腾) by a famous writer Jiang Rong which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever 1 the wolves' world? If you had, you would 2 the wolves. In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about 3 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers.

All the wolves obey the rules. 10 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 11 makes wolves powerful. The wolves also have great self-respect and won't 12 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book The Wolf Totem, 13 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 14 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 15 wolves.

Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in intercultural experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear. Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has even been sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not. A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in her own reactions than a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to. "The awareness of being unclear" is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they can't be sure of different people's roles in what is going on. "It's like I just got here from the moon," a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said, "things are just so different here." |
1. The passage mainly tells us _____. |
[ ] |
A. that it's not easy to travel abroad B. that humor is very important in communication C. about some characteristics in dealing with foreigners D. about three main ways useful for communicating with foreigners |
2. According to the passage, what characteristic should be most focused on? |
[ ] |
A. Patience B. The awareness of being unclear C. The sense of humor D. Understanding each other. |
3. "The awareness of being unclear" refers to _____. |
[ ] |
A. knowing the meaning of an exact situation B. not stating clearly what happens C. realizing the possible misunderstanding in a situation D. being aware of the unclear situation |
4. According to the writer, the Chinese students is _____. |
A. a hard-working student B. recently back from the moon C. interested in the study of moon D. not used to the culture in America |

A young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness (不治之症) and given three months to live. So as she was getting her things "in order", she asked her pastor (牧师) to come to her house to discuss her final wishes. With everything in order, the pastor was ready to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. "What's that?" asked the pastor. "I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand." The pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing what to say. "That surprises you, doesn't it?" the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request," said the pastor. The young woman explained, "In all my years of going to church meetings and dinners, I remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would always lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming, like chocolate cake or apple pie,some dessert like that. Something wonderful! I just want people to see me there in that casket (棺材) with a fork so that when they ask you why I have a fork, you can tell them: 'Keep your fork-the best is yet to come.'" The pastor hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the pretty dress she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the pastor heard the question "Why does she have a fork?" And over and over again he smiled. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it reminded you of this young woman gently. Send the message to everyone you consider a friend even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you. And, keep your fork!! |

"Old wives tales" are beliefs lasting for many generations. For example, most of us remember our parents' telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time. Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds. Unfortunately, not all of Mom' s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes. However, sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars. Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don't hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives' tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false. |
1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the test? |
[ ] |
A. Eating garlic is good for our eyes. B. Sticky sweets are damaging our teeth. C. Swimming after a meal is dangerous. D. Carrots prevent people from catching colds. |
2. The phrase "hold water" in the last paragraph most probably means "_____". |
[ ] |
A. to be believable B. to be valuable C. to be admirable D. to be suitable |
3. What is the author's attitude toward "old wives tales" in the text? |
[ ] |
A. Subjective B. Objective C. Dissatisfied D. Curious |

Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations, They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 1_____ The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. 2_____ So they are called "disease of civilization".

We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C. 5_____ But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way as our ancestors did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food. |
