    When I was a little girl, my grandparents lived in a house with a big front yard. They loved each other
and planted lots of vegetables and flowers together in the yard.
     But one summer Grandpa died, so it was hard for Grandma to care for the garden alone. When spring
came, she planted just a few vegetables and flowers.
     One day in the early summer, Grandma heard big noises in the yard. She looked out of the window and
saw thousands of bees.
     What could she do? Should she hire someone to get rid of the bees? But that would cost more than she
could afford. She decided to wait.
     Over the next few days, the bees were busy with their own business. That summer, Grandma's little
garden grew and grew. The neighbors would stop to admire the big crop of vegetables and the lovely
flowers.
     One day, Grandma's brother visited. When she told him about the bees, he said, "Farmers often hire
beekeepers to come to their fields. The bees pollinate (授粉) the crops, which helps them to grow."
     "So that's why my garden is doing so well!" She believed Grandpa had sent the bees to take his place and
make Grandma's little garden grow and grow...

阅读下面短文,用英语简要回答文后所给的5个问题。

[1] You may be familiar with this situation. You pass a group of people who are talking to each other. You cannot hear what they are saying. But suddenly they start laughing. What would you think? Would you think they were laughing at something else? Or -- be honest with yourself -- would you think they were laughing at you? Here is a study published in 2009.

[2]Being laughed at is a common fear. But the study found that this fear is not the same around the world. It differs from culture to culture. People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing were making fun of them. Less than ten percent of Finns in the study said they would think that, compared to eighty percent of people in Thailand.

[3]Some people in the study said they hid their feelings of insecurity. Others said they avoided social situations where they had been laughed at before. The study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia were more likely to be in the first group. They would hide their feelings of insecurity if they were around other people's laughter. But people in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan were more likely to try to avoid such situations if they felt they had been laughed at before.

[4]Shy people often avoid situations that would force them into close contact with other people. They worry that something they say or do will make other people laugh at them. But some people worry much more than others. They may have a disorder called gelotophobia. Gelos is a Greek word. It means laughter. Phobia means fear. This fear of laughter can be truly sad for those who live with it. It can affect how they lead their lives.

[5]In the study, a team from the University of Zurich led more than ninety researchers from around the world. They wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia. Another purpose of the study was to compare the levels of fear of being laughed at in different cultures.

1.What is a common fear according to the text? (No more than 5 words)

                                                                            

2.What would people in Egypt do if others were laughing around them? (No more than 10 words)

                                                                            

3.What does the underlined word “gelotophobia” in Para4 mean? (No more than 5 words)

                                                                            

4.What kind of situation do shy people often avoid? (No more than 15 words)

                                                                            

5.Put the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.

Last year I worked in Nepalfor three months. When I had a few days off, I decided to go into the jungle(丛林). I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.

We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our things. It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find tigers. We climbed onto the elephants’ backs to see better. However, it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime.

Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We moved nearer and found a dead deer. This was the tiger’s lunch! Suddenly, I started to feel very frightened.

Then the tiger jumped out suddenly, about five hundred kilos and four meters long. It caught Kamal’s leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly ran away to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!

阅读下面短文,用英语简要回答文后所给的5个问题。

     I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Macau. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I
was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having much chance to enjoy the sun
in the UK and having naturally fair skin, my legs are very white. In the UK this is not a fashionable (时尚的)
look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin,
the better the look.
     As I walked around one shop, two shop assistants didn't take their eyes off me the whole time, talking
quietly in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop,
she asked me what was wrong. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend
laughed."They weren't laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want
to have white skin like yours. In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a
lot of money is spent on them."
     It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better. The grass is always greener on the
other side
. If the women of the West and East thought the same way, Western women wouldn't spend so
much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn't need to use cream that
makes skin whiter.
1. Where did the story happen?
____________________________________________________________________
2. What kind of skin do most British women prefer to have?
____________________________________________________________________
3. Why did the writer think the shop assistants were laughing at her?
____________________________________________________________________
4. What were the shop assistants talking about?
____________________________________________________________________
5. What does the underlined sentence "The grass is always greener on the other side" mean?
____________________________________________________________________
