Traveling to every part of the world gets easier, but how well do we know and understand each other.
Here's a simple test. Imagine you are planning to hold a meeting at four o'clock. What time should you expect
your foreign business friends to arrive? If they are Germans, they'll arrive on time. If they are Americans,
they'll probably be 15 minutes early. If they are Englishmen, they'll be 15 minutes late, and you should allow
up to an hour for the Italians.
The British seemed to think since the English language was widely used in the world, people would
always understand what they do. However, they found they were completely wrong. For example, the British
are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters and have a drink during the meal. The
Japanese prefer not to work while eating. Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know each other and
they don't drink at lunchtime. The Germans like to talk business before dinner. The French like to eat first
and talk afterwards. They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything.

1. What do the Germans prefer when they go to a meeting?

[ ]

A. They prefer to be on time.
B. They prefer to arrive very early.
C. They prefer to arrive very late.
D. They prefer to arrive a little late.

2. According to the text, if a group of Englishmen, Americans and Italians hold a meeting, who will be
the last to arrive?

[ ]

A. The Englishmen.
B. The Americans.
C. The Italians.
D. Both the Englishmen and the Italians.

3. What do the Japanese like to do at lunchtime?

[ ]

A. To drink.
B. To get to know each other.
C. To talk business.
D. To eat only.

4. According to the writer, the British like to _______.

[ ]

A. arrive on time and talk business during the meal
B. arrive earliest and hate talking business at a meal
C. arrive 15 minutes late and talk business after the meal
D. arrive a few minutes late and discuss business during the meal

5. By giving us the two examples, the writer means to show us that _______.

[ ]

A. different countries have different cultures in different parts of the world
B. the Germans are more serious and have good living habits
C. the Italians are careless people and they are never on time for everything

Canada is one of the few 1 in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are
10 provinces (省) in the country but only one of these —Quebec( 魁北克 ) is known as "French Canada". This
is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered and governed the rest.
Canada left the British empire in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official language ever since.

         Most people speak English as their first language and the two      2
television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from
in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.
         The same goes    3    traffic signs and menus, for example, Outside of
Quebec, there are only a few places     4    you'll see traffic signs in French.
And in restaurants, it's     5    impossible to find French on the menu unless
you are in the heartland of French Canada. However, all products sold in
Canada must,     6    law, have labels and instructions in both languages.

In Canada's English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism (双语) means that students can 7 to
complete a special French course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French.

                                            Shanghaihua (上海话)：use it or lose it
        There are about 6.000 languages in the world and some experts say that as many as half of these languages will disappear in the next one hundred years. Will Shanghaihua be one of t    1     ? It's a question that more
people are asking.
        In China, Putonghua is the official language. That m     2   it's the language of government, business and
the media (媒体). And it's also the language that is used in schools.
        Shanghai is a special city. It is modern, fashionable and sophisticated (老练的). And Shanghaihua shows
that by being modern, fashionable and sophisticated. "I love riding on the b    3   and listening to people speaking
Shanghaihua." Miss Evans, an American reporter said. " I don't understand a word they are saying but I like the
sound of the language. It sounds smoother than Putonghua. And Shanghainese like things "renao" (热闹)so even
a discussion about the weather can sound like an argument or a party. My bus rides are a   4   interesting."
        Young people still speak Shanghaihua but not as well as their parents and grandparents. They are under
more and more pressure (压力) to speak Putonghua. So the language is being used l   5   often in everyday life.
Some people want to keep the language from disappearing completely by building museums and having cultural
festivals to save it. But a language isn't a painting or a book. It's a living thing and you e   6   use it or lose it.
        If people stop using it in their d   7   lives, a museum or a festival will not help. It will be lost forever, like
the Yangtze River dolphin.

                                                        The Changing Olympic Games
       The Olympic Games have changed a lot since they were first held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Back then,
winners got silver medals instead of gold ones. Sounds strange, doesn't it? People thought silver was better than
gold. Also, no women ran in the first Olympics, and only 14 countries took part. China was not one of them.
But those aren't the only differences.
        The Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin (顾拜旦) was the man who really wanted the Games to start
again. His idea for the modern Olympics came from the Greek Games thousands of years ago. He hoped they
would help to bring world peace.
        But it took time for the Olympics to become popular. Not many people thought they were good ideas in
1896, so they were put together poorly. Some tourists even ran in races! Today, more than 10,000 people from
about 200 countries take part.
       In the early years of the Olympics, there weren't many sports. Most events were track and field (田径),
much like in the first Greek Games. Events usually took place in the Panathenaic Stadium (雅典体育场), and
you can still see it today. Players did not wear their countries' colors in 1896. Their clothes were not like the
uniforms people wear today. In fact, players weren't even picked by their countries back then. They traveled to
the Games by themselves and had to use their own money to take part.
        New sports have been put into the Olympics over time, like badminton and table tennis. Some older games
are no longer played, like tug-of-war (拔河). It would be hard to see all the events at this year's Games. There
will be over 300!
         Swimming was different in 1896. There was a 1,200-metre race in the sea. A boat took swimmers out
into the sea and left them to swim back to land. Sometimes rough water made the race dangerous. The first
person ever to win that race was Hungarian Alfred Hajos. He seemed happy just to finish."I just wanted to live.
That's more important than winning," he said. When people or teams won events in 1896, they didn't get the
same things as now. They got olive wreaths (橄榄枝花环) to put on their heads and silver medals.

1. In the first Olympic, winners were given .

[ ]

A、gold medals and olive wreaths
B、silver and gold medals
C、olive wreaths and flowers
D、silver medals and olive wreaths

B、they became popular in 1896

D、no women ran in the first Olympics

A、most events were track and field
B、players wore the uniforms people wear today
C、people from about 200 countries took part
D、events usually took place in many other countries
