    I’m punctual(守时的) in my work life, but not in my personal life. However, it’s OK in my country. We, Brazilians, are always late: if the party is at 8, everyone shows up at 10 and everyone, including the host, is happy that we are on time. Cheers!

    Lisa Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    I’m a Japanese working in Colombia. It is good manners to arrive a little late for a party in Colombia, which I have never understood. I always try to be early for everything, or I consider it impolite.

    Mike Tokyo, Japan

    Of course! My friends and I all believe that showing up late for an appointment or class is an insult(冒犯) to the person(s) we are meeting. It seems to say, “My time is more important than yours.”

    Vera Lausanne, Switzerland

    Not only am I “punctual”, but I am always early for most events in my life. The secret is (and it really works!): I keep all the clocks (except my computer) in my life 10 minutes fast!

    Wang Cai Shenzhen, China

    For an appointment, I always make sure I’m on time. Once I had a friend who was always late for every meeting. If we made it at 9 and it was a 45-minute trip for her, then she would arrive at 9:45. I liked her a lot, but could not stand the unpunctuality.

    Bud Berlin, Germany

    Now, almost everybody knows the hottest English word "selfie". Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, according to the Oxford (牛津) online dictionary. People usually take selfies with a smart phone and send them to Wechat (微信) or Qzone (QQ 空间).

    "Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone," said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments.

    Pop stars also take a lot of selfies. Li Chunping, 14, from Harbin, is a big fan of Yang Mi. "She has used many selfies to tell us about her life and work," said Li.

    What makes people love selfies? Some people say it’s narcissism (自恋). "The rise of the selfie is a perfect symbol for our narcissistic culture. We’re crying out: Look at me!" said US psychiatrist(精神科医生) Carole Lieberman.

    Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in the Guardian. (《卫报》) "The usual purpose of taking a selfie is to share online. They express a human need to connect with others," wrote Freedland.

    Huang Xu agrees with that. “During the summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Hair or clothes were not our interests. Through these photos, we got to know each other’s holidays and feelings,” said Huang Xu.

    1.According to the story, a "selfie" is ________________.

    A. a person with a smart phone B. a smart phone which can take photos

    C. a photo taken by oneself D. an English dictionary

    2.We can tell from the story that _____________.

    A. only famous people enjoy taking selfies

    B. people love to share selfies online

    C. all the people love selfies because of narcissism

    D. US psychiatrist Carole Lieberman hates selfies

    3.We put the sentence “But some people don’t see it that way.” at the beginning of ______.

    A. Paragraph 3 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 5 D. Paragraph 6

    “A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day/ The mourner’s heart is going to break on his way”, it is from a poem about Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as the Qingming Festival. It falls on April 5th this year. It's the traditional Chinese festival to remember the dead. Chinese people visit the tombs (墓) of their parents,

    grandparents and ancestors (祖先). They will sweep the tombs and clean away the grass around them. Then they burn paper money and put flowers and fruit in front of the tombs. They hope the dead can enjoy them and bring the family good luck.
