23、his car. Then he walked back home. This made him very angry.He put up a board in the garden facing the road. The board said, “No Parking”. But nobody noticed it. People seemed to obey only a police notice with white letters on a blue board:POLICE NOTICENO PARKINGMrs. Brown asked his husband to steal

24、 a police notice but he was afraid to do so. Then she asked him to make one just like a police notice. Mr. Brown said he was not the police and couldnt use the word “police”. Several days later, Mr. Brown made a blue board with white letters.PLEASE NOTICENO PARKING“Oh!” Mrs. Brown said. “You told me

She was hardworking and had a special skill in making delicious strawberry jam.Aunt Fanny was single and had no children. She

29、 didnt like to share love with others. I thought she was very lonely, although she didnt mind it. She had a workshop where my mother helped her make the best strawberry jam, and everyone in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked my mother not to tell the recipe(秘方) of making the strawberry jam to

30、others.When the strawberries were ripe, my family would pick them together. We talked and laughed, experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But aunt Fanny never joined us. She just asked us to pick strawberries quickly and make more strawberry jam to make more money for her. Each person in our

31、town said that she just paid attention to money rather than anything else. What a poor woman! Its no use having too much money because she had no family and friends to share her happiness during her lifetime.Maybe it was the recipe that brought success to aunt Fanny. But to me, it was just a common

32、recipe. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the beautiful days spent with family and friends that truly make yourich.1Who owns the recipe of making the best strawberry jam?AThe writers mother. BThe writer.CAunt Fanny. DFannys mother.2Why do people in the town think aunt Fanny is poor

33、?ABecause she needed to work hard in her workshop.BBecause she paid attention to nothing except money.CBecause she had no close friends to shared her success.DBecause she always thought of helping others rather than herself.3What does the last word “rich” mean in this passage?It means _.Athe success

34、 of making strawberry jamBhaving the recipe and much moneyCthe happiness, ones family and friendsDowning a big house and the large farmD16、 Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines (

35、航空公司) offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they dont want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane fo

36、od tastes bad is that at high altitude we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure(壓力) reduces one third of the sensibility(感覺) of our taste buds(味蕾)

37、. So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses dont know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy (辛辣的) food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now ther

38、e are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they cant deal with the

39、special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.1In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means _.Apassengers stay long in the planeBfood on the plane tastes badCpassengers have no food to eatDfood on the plane is expensive2What do airlines d

Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.Any mistakes that appear (出現） in a story can get a newspaper into big tro

43、uble. For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasnt the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake. A news story is not only correct ，but also relevant to its readers . People are mostly interest

44、ed in news that happens near to them . That is why you care more about what happens at your school that at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don t talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.Finally , news must always be fresh . When you pick up your evening newspaper, you wan

45、t to read about news that happens that day . You dont want to read about news from last week !So , now you know what makes a good news story .

49、people from another culture. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信號). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize（強調）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For examp

50、le, 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 countrieslike the UK or Francepeople find it easier to build

51、up a lasting working relationship at restaurants 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 just lo

52、oked at me all the time 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 not needed.Even within Northern Europe, cultural difference

53、s can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share almost the same 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 diff

54、erent 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 (多元文化) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.1In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to .Adevelop closer relationship Bshare the same cultureCget to know e
