    What brings a nation together? Of the four choices — shared values, language, history, and religion, it’s shared values. In our latest poll (民意调査), seven out of 16 countries chose values as the greatest factor (因素）bringing a nation together, and six preferred language. Both choices scored high in the poll, suggesting that our values and how we express them are closely linked .Still, history was not forgotten in some countries, particularly in Mexico and Russia. Even Canada and the United States chose national histories as the second-most important factor uniting their people. The biggest surprise? Not one country picked religion as its top choice.

    Respect your elders
    In most countries, the oldest generation considered values more important to a nation than did those who are under 45 years old.
    		Do you speak Canadian?
    Language scored lower in Canada than in all other countries polled, perhaps because the country speaks two official languages, French and English.
    		Church and state
    Most people polled do not connect their religious beliefs to their national pride. Religion ranked last in 13 countries — with France scoring it at 1%, the lowest of all.
    【小题1】According to the poll, what was the most important factor in bringing a nation together?
    A．Language.B．Values.C．History.D．Religion.
    【小题2】In which country did language score the lowest in their national pride?

    Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
    Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.
    Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.
    One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.
    On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.
    But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.
    After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.
    But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To end this, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的)customers.
    As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.
    Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.
    【小题1】What do the underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ? ( no more than 3 words)
    【小题2】What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention? (no more than 8 words)
    【小题3】Why was Goldman disappointed at first? (no more than 6 words)
    【小题4】Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market? (no more than 10 words)

    Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad has been retired. But he didn’t go quietly. In his final speech, he blamed the Jewish people for the problems between Israel and the Palestinians.
    “The Jews have taken land of the Muslims,” he said. “What if part of America was given to the Jews as Israel? Would the Americans let it happen? Of course not.”
    His words angered many western governments, but Mahathir doesn’t care. “I like to speak my mind,” the 77-year-old explained. “Sometimes people don’t like it. But that is what leadership is all about.”
    Loved by some and disliked by others, his 22 years in power have seen great changes in Malaysia. He has taken it from being one of Asia’s poorest countries to the world’s 18th largest trading nation. It is also a peaceful country with native Malaysians living alongside minority groups. Chinese make up a quarter of the population, while a further 7.4 percent are of Indian origin. Teenage girls wearing Muslim① headscarves happily walk around large stores as ethnic Chinese play mah-jong② in nearby cafes.
    But Mahathir has made enemies at home and abroad and some people will be glad he has gone. The US was unhappy when he often blamed it for globalization. Meanwhile, critics say that he has limited the freedom of the Malaysian people in order to stay in control of the country. Despite this, he is a hero to leaders in Southeast Asia as well as those in the Islamic③ world. “He marked out the path to success for developing nations in the region to follow,” said Thai President Thaksin Shinawatra.
    Now he just wants to enjoy his retirement and insists that he will not take on a special role in government. “I’m a nobody,” he said. But many Malaysians do not agree with this.
    Notes:
    ①    Muslim  adj. 穆斯林的
    ②    mah-jong  n. 麻将
    ③    Islamic  adj. 伊斯兰教的
    Choose the best answers according to the above:

    1. 1.

      What does Mahathir probably mean by saying “But that is what leadership is all about.”?

      1. A.
        The Jews have taken land of the Muslines by strong power of their leadership.
      2. B.
        America should give part of its land to Israel though its leadership is powerful.
      3. C.
        Leadership has the obligation to speak up what you think is right or wrong.
      4. D.
        As a leader of a country, you have the right to teach those in other countries what to do and how.
    2. 2.

      Which is NOT true about the following?

      1. A.
        Malaysia was no longer poor after Mahathir came into power.
      2. B.
        Malaysia is a country with natives and other minorities like Jews living alongside
        peacefully.
      3. C.
        Malaysia developed a lot within Mahathir’s power but freedom of Malaysians was
        limited.
      4. D.
        Mahathir’s role in the world is both a hero to leaders in Southeast Asia but also a possible enemy of some countries.
    3. 3.

      The best title of this passage would be _________.

      1. A.
        A Religion Enthusiast
      2. B.
        Mahathir’s Political Policy
      3. C.
        Mahathir Is Malaysia
      4. D.
        Hero of the World
