When a leading Russian Statesman made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of   53  .
    In the United States,   54  your hand up with the thumb and index finge in a circle and the   55  three fingers spread out means “Everything is O.K.” And is frequently used by astronauts and politicians. In France and Belgium, it can mean “ You are worth nothing.”

    For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer．For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing．
    Cold can affect other parts of the body．The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do．For example, you agree to be president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation．
    The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face．You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you．Or, to someone who has lied about you to others．
    A cold fish is not a fish．It is a person．But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted．Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy．Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers．
    Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be．
    小题1:There are _________ expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage．
    A．3B．4 C．6D．7
    小题2:When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_________”．
    A．I give him the cold shoulderB．I think he is a cold-blooded man
    C．I think he is a cold fishD．I’m likely to get cold feet
    小题3: If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________．
    A．she is a cold-blooded killerB．she gets cold feet
    C．she is a cold fishD．she is out in the cold
    小题4:We can use the expression “__________” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy．
    A．cold-bloodedB．cold shoulder
    C．cold feetD．cold-hearted
    小题5:The topic of this passage is about _________．
    A．the relationship between cold and our body
    B．some expressions about friendship
    C．some expressions connected with cold
    D．how cold weather comes into being

    Perhaps you have never heard of Katherine Lawes．Katherine was the wife of Lewis Lawes, warden （监狱长） at Sing Sing Prison from 1920 to 1941．In these 21 years he made many reforms --- and an important part of his success was due to his wife Katherine．
    Katherine took seriously the idea that the prisoners are human beings ,worthy of attention and respect ．She regularly visited inside the walls of Sing Sing．She encouraged the prisoners, took things to them and spent time listening to them．Most importantly, she cared about them．And as a result, they cared deeply about her．
    Then one night in October of 1937, news was "telegraphed" between the prison cells that Katherine had been killed in an accident．The prisoners asked the warden to allow them to attend her funeral．He agreed to their strange request and a few days later the south gate of Sing Sing swung slowly open．Hundreds of men who had committed almost every crime imaginable marched slowly out of the prison, later gathered again at the gate and returned to their cells．There were so many that they proceeded unguarded．But no one tried to escape．If he had, the others might have killed him immediately．So devoted were they to Katherine Lawes, the woman who daily walked into Hell to show the men a piece of Heaven．
    Katherine' s strength was to see the men less as prisoners and more as individuals．Thomas Moore once said, "We can only treat badly those things or people whose souls we show no respect for．"

    What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? That’s an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that’s why they are fond of the expression, “Time is money.”
    Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and manage it. People in the US often attend conferences or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners(计划书) — some in electronic form — to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to press more life out of their time.
    To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.
    American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 pm.
    Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger. And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict. However, time is one of life’s most precious gifts.
    小题1:The main idea of the passage is _______.
    A．time is moneyB．different attitude toward time in the world
    C．how to save timeD．how Americans treat time
    小题2:In the fourth paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that _________.
    A．Americans respect others’ time in daily life
    B．Americans seldom call after 10:00
    C．Americans inform before paying a visit to their friends
    D．when planning an event, Americans usually fix time ahead of time
    小题3:The underlined phrase “think twice” (in Paragraph 4) probably means “_______ “.
    A．think for a second timeB．be careful
    C．be afraidD．pay attention
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
    A．Americans like time better than anything else
    B．generally speaking, Americans respect their time
    C．on the whole, Americans treasure their time
    D．Americans consider their time is difficult to master and predict

    Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products.
    The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
    It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
    小题1:What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?
    A．The exercise of rights is a luxury.
    B．The practice of choice is difficult.
    C．The right of choice is given but at a price.
    D．Choice and right exist at the same time.
    小题2:Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?
    A．Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
    B．People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
    C．Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
    D．Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice.
    小题3:By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that _______.
    A．advanced products meet the needs of people
    B．products of the latest design flood the market
    C．competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
    D．everyday goods need to be replaced often
    小题4:What is this passage mainly about?
    A．The variety of choices in modern society.
    B．The opinions on people’s right in different countries
    C．The Problems about the availability of everyday goods.
    D．The helplessness in purchasing decisions

    When I say “work is rest”, some people will say I’m crazy. But that’s the way it is—we need to rest. Without rest, we will die. At a minimum, we won’t have the energy to work.
    Nobody forces us to be so stupid about this. We just don’t know how to rest properly. We rest in ways that are not restful, even stressful. Some of our ways of rest interfere (妨碍) with our working energy. Instead of sleep, we go to the movies and clubs, drink or have a smoke with friends. This is because we misunderstand the meaning of “rest.”
    We should remember that rest means not working, both physically and mentally. Only then is it real rest. When tired, rest. It’s simple. Actually, dogs and cats are smarter about this than people. People are stupid enough to rest in ways that destroy their capacity (能力) to work.
    Rest and work always go together. There must be a balance: work during the day and rest at night. When the sun comes up, one has plenty of strength to work well and enjoy it. In other words, rest is a kind of investment, so that one has the strength and energy to continue working. So we need rest to work, recognizing that we can’t have one without the other. Rest is what recharges our batteries. We need enough time to charge up adequately to the tasks we undertake. Thus, we need to rest correctly; otherwise, illness will occur and also can affect the efficiency of our work.
    Rest can’t be skimped. Without enough rest, good work is impossible. This is why we say that rest is another kind of work.
    53. Which of the following is the best rest according to this passage?
    A. Going to the movies and clubs.    
    B. Drinking or having a smoke with friends.
    C. Sleeping at home.                         
    D. Playing cards with family members.
    54. The underlined word “skimped” in the last paragraph most probably means _____.
    A. not supplied with enough of what is needed
    B. strengthened in spite of the conditions
    C. recharged during the time of working            
    D. invested without any of the cost
    55. We can know from this passage that _____.
    A. dogs and cats are smarter than we human beings
    B. rest can make us work more efficiently
    C. it’s not proper to sleep in the daytime for people.
    D. rest is more important than work for people
    56. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?
    A. Rest is another kind of work.                    
    B. How to form the habit of sleeping.
    C. Sufficient rest leads to success.              
    D. Why people need to rest.

    Every country has its different customs when visiting other people's homes for a dinner party. It's important to know these before visiting a foreign country, so that you can avoid making embarrassing mistakes. Three people from different countries explain how to behave at a dinner party there.
    Masako, Japan
    The first thing to remember when visiting a Japanese home for dinner is that you should always dress correctly, as if going to the office. Casual wear is not appropriate. When you meet someone in Japan you should always bow. A deep bow is suitable for someone older or senior to you, while a short bow is suitable for younger people or your peers. Remember to take off your shoes when you enter the house. Always take a gift when you visit a Japanese home. Your host will expect it. It is important to arrive on time, and certainly not more than five minutes late. Don't sit down at the table until your host tells you where to sit. When you have finished eating and drinking, return your chopsticks to the chopstick rest, and do not finish your glass. If you do so, your host will pour more into the glass.
    Mamadou, Senegal
    Don't be surprised if there are only men or only women at your table when you go out to dinner in Senegal. Men and women sometimes eat separately in nay country. Wait until your host tells you where to sit. We normally sit on the floor to eat. First, everyone washes their hands in a washing basin. When the food comes it will be placed in front of you, and at first you will be offered food from the dishes by your host. Later you can serve yourself from the dishes, but make sure you do not lean over the food. Take food from the part of the bowl closest to you. Try a little of everything. It is polite to do so. Please make sure your feet do not touch the mat on which the food is placed.
    Luis, Spain
    Spanish dinner parties are great fun. We often start late in the evening and don't get up to leave until the small hours of the morning. I think you will enjoy going out to dinner in Spain. Firstly, never arrive on time. Fifteen or twenty minutes late is normal. Shake hands with your host, smile and look him in the eye. If he offers you a cup of coffee, be sure to accept it. Not to do so would be to reject your host' s kindness. A gift is not necessary, but will be welcomed. Food is served on individual plates, western-style, and is eaten with a knife and fork. Keep your hands where others can see them during the meal, but don' t put your elbows on the table. When you have finished, put your knife and fork at an angle on the plate. Try to finish your food if you can!
    72. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?
    A. To introduce some customs in foreign countries.
    B. To tell stories about three people at dinner parties.
    C. To avoid making embarrassing mistakes when dining abroad.
    D. To show the importance of cultural awareness when travelling abroad.
    73. From Masako's explanation, we can know that in Japan _________.
    A. young people bow not so deeply as older or senior people
    B. old people don't have to bow to young people
    C. young people do not bow deeply to those of the same age
    D. all people should bow deeply to each other when they meet
    74. Which of the following should a guest in Senegal do when the food is served?
    A. Wait until the host asks him/her to eat.                  B. Don't eat until the host helps him/her.
    C. Help himself/herself to anything he likes.              D. Eat up the food from the closest plate.
    75. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The Japanese sit on the floor and eat in front of a mat.
    B. The Senegalese sit on the floor and eat at a table.
    C. The Spanish sit at a table and eat with chopsticks.
    D. The Japanese sit at a table and eat with chopsticks.
