When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACABCUES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole. English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.” 1. My Spanish friends wanted advice about __________. A. learning English B. finding places to stay in England C. driving their car on English roads D. going to England by car 2. I suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” houses because__________. A. they would be able to practise their English B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels C. it would be convenient for them to have dinner D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there 3.“NO VACANCIES” in English means__________. A. no free rooms B. free rooms C. not away on holiday D. holidays 4.If you see a road sign that says “Diversion” in UK, you will__________. A. fall into a hole B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people D. have to take a different road 5.When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I__________.

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other. 1.In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to__________. A.develop closer relations B.share the same culture C.get to know each other D.keep each other company 2. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that__________. A.the English prefer to make long speeches B.too many words are of no use C.people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature D.even talk and silence can be culturally different 3.According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better? A.By sharing different ways of life. B.By accepting different habits. C.By recognizing different values. D.By speaking each other' s languages. 4.What would be the best title for the text? A.Multicultural Environment. B.Cross-Cultural Differences. C.How to Understand Each Other. D.How to Build Up a Relationship. 5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. I talked too much in the speech, which surprised the audience. B. Within Northern Europe, there are no such things as cultural differences. C. There is no way to overcome cultural differences. D. Different cultures have difference in relationship building.

Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being. When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea. The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression(抑郁). They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping. So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else. Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past. 1. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear__________. A. by raising his own examples B. based on his own experience C. by mentioning some studies D. by mentioning some typical patients 2.The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to__________. A. support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental health B. introduce a famous expert C. let the reader know the different colours of cartoon faces D. show how to control one’s temper 3.The underlined phrase“holding on to”in this passage possibly means“__________”. A. removing B. keeping up C. getting rid of D. learning about 4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage? A. People who are able to forgive feel less stress. B. People who are able to forgive feel less depression. C. People who are able to forgive have fewer problems on sleeping. D. People who are able to forgive feel less tired. 5.The best title for this passage is probably__________. A. Forgiveness B. Forgiveness Is Good for Health C. A Secret to Keeping Health D. Anger Is Bad for Health
