【题目】根据短文内容,判断正误。
Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.
When giving gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, for many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often like to pack gifts in this color. However, did you know that in Korea, red is a color of death? That is why you should not pack gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a Korean person.
What about western countries? In western countries, the color of packing paper is not really important. But color does matter when giving flowers, especially roses. You should not give red roses to a western person you don't know very well because they are a symbol of love. You could give yellow roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship. You could also send pink roses as gifts to say thank you.
What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a different culture? Well, one thing you should keep in mind is the person's religion. When choosing a gift for a Muslim or Jewish friend, you should never get good food including pork or things made from pigskin. Another thing that you shouldn't get for a Muslim person is alcohol.
(1)Red is a lucky color all over the world.
(2)Yellow roses are a symbol of love.
(3)When you give gifts to a foreigner, you should remember his religion.
(4)Three kinds of color are mentioned in this passage.
(5)We can give a Muslim friend a bottle of alcohol as a gift.

【答案】
(1)错误
(2)错误
(3)正确
(4)正确
(5)错误
【解析】在不同的文化里,关于送礼物的风俗习惯是不同的,例如礼物的颜色,不同文化颜色有不同的含义;另一个我们需要注意的事情就是那个文化的人们的信仰。短文中作者用举例的方法进行讲述。
(1)根据短文的第二段中For example, for many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often like to pack gifts in this color. However, did you know that in Korea, red is a color of death?可知,中国红是一个幸运的颜色,但是在韩国,红色代表死亡。由此可知,不是在所有国家红色都是幸运的颜色,故这句话是错误的。
(2)据短文第三段中You could give yellow roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship可知,黄色的玫瑰是友谊的象征,故这句话是错误的。
(3)根据短文最后一段中…when giving gifts to someone from a different culture? Well, one thing you should keep in mind is the person's religion可知,当我们给来自不同文化的人送礼物的时候,需要注意这个人的宗教信仰。由此可知这句话是正确的。
(4)根据全文的内容可知,短文中一共提到了三种颜色,红色、黄色和粉色。因此这句话是正确的。
(5)根据短文的最后一句话Another thing that you shouldn't get for a Muslim person is alcohol可知,我们不应该送给信仰穆斯林的人们酒作为礼物。故这句话是错误的。

【题目】 Do you know what a shouzhang is? It is a diary decorated with tapes, stickers, drawing and other things. It’s a part of Japanese popular culture and it also becomes popular in China.

In May, twin sisters from Zhejiang became “stars” online because of their interesting shouzhang. They are Lin Ting and Mao Yue — two 14-year old eighth-graders from Wenhui Middle School in Hangzhou. They record(记录) things about food, travel, pets, school life, and other interesting things in their lives in their shouzhang.

The twins started to make their shouzhang about two years ago. “Nothing will be greater than to look back on these beautiful memories(回忆) when we get old,” Lin said.

They stay true to themselves — putting both small happiness and little frustrations into their diaries. For example, they often write funny stories about their two pet dogs Dabao and Gege. When Lin has too much homework to do, she writes about how she feels. “It makes me feel better,” Lin said.

They also write about their favourite foods and stars. Mao collected pictures of ice cream, coffee and her hero Zhang Yixing, and stuck them in her shouzhang. They always bring their shouzhang with them while travelling.

Both of them are good at drawing. And they also have a big box of tapes and stickers! So it’s a piece of cake for them to make their shouzhang beautiful.

1Which is NOT true about a shouzhang?

A.It’s a special diary with decorations.B.It’s now getting popular in China.

C.It started in Japan.D.It only has tapes, stickers and drawings in it.

2In the twin sisters’ shouzhang, you may NOT see________.

A.world newsB.school lifeC.how they feelD.delicious food

3The underlined word “frustrations” means _________ things.

A.uselessB.amazingC.excitingD.unhappy

4The passage mainly tells us_______.

A.what a shouzhang isB.how the twins make a shouzhang

【题目】 It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible(有责任的) for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.

If you give your children the impression(印象) that they can never do anything right, then they willtreat themselves as unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent(独立).

My daughter Mary's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel good When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and said they could learn what they had missed.

You can use the same way when you evaluate(评价) your child's work at home. Do not always scoldbut give lots of praise to your children instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn'tdone. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.

Learning is a process(过程) of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your childrennot to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
