Should we say goodbye to chivalry (骑士精神) in the age of sex equality?
Chivalry began as a response to the violence of the Middle Ages. PierMassimo Forni, the founder of the Civility Institute, says chivalry “as a form of treatment inspired by the sense that there was something special about women and that they deserve added respect.”
Today “chivalry” is often used as a term for “gentlemanly” behavior, related to “fair sex”, honor, courage and loyalty.
But we can hardly see chivalry nowadays with many women demanding to be treated equally in the workplace.
According to a 2013 survey carried out by the British Daily Mail, only one in seven men will offer their seat to a woman on a bus or train; over three-quarters of men don’t offer to help carry a heavy bag or suitcase for women.
In many cases, it’s not because these men are being insensitive, but on the contrary, they say they are unwilling to help women because they are worried about making them embarrassed.
These men may worry too much. According to the same survey, only seven percent of women view acts like holding open doors as unpleasant.
“Men seem confused by the modern ‘sex equality’ message”, psychologist and relationship expert Donna Dawson told the Daily Mail.
“This message was meant for the workplace and was never meant to replace good manners. Men will always be the stronger sex physically, so it is natural for them to show consideration for women.”
So, should the acts of chivalry be brought back? US writer Emily Smith says chivalry is what we should all long for. Many people are predicting the death of chivalry, but chivalry is not dead yet. Slowly but surely, chivalry is making a come-back.
1.The question at the very beginning of the passage is used to _____.
A. express the author’s curiosity
B. cause a heated discussion
C. introduce a controversial topic
D. solve a serious social problem
2.Which is NOT part of “chivalry”?
A. Violence. B. Loyalty. C. Courage. D. Honor.
3.Some men are not willing to help women because _____.
A. they are not sensitive enough
B. they had no good manners
C. they are afraid of women
D. they misunderstood “sex equality”
4.Emily Smith holds the view that _____.
A. some messages can make men confused
B. men should show consideration for women
C. chivalry is quite good and sure to come back
D. “sex equality” will never replace good manners

Culture Shock
Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment, such as a foreign country.
Generally speaking, we could say that there are four stages of culture shock. The first stage is called “the honeymoon”. In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place. 1.
The next stage is “the hostility(敌意)stage”. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was. 2. Moreover, people don't treat you like a guest anymore.
Then you come to the third stage called “recovery”. In this stage, you start to feel more positive. _3._ The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.
The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good. 4. The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.
5. It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g., from high school to college).
A.You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock.
B.And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand.
C.In addition, culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor.
D.You become tired of many things about the new culture.
E.You have learned enough to understand the new culture.
F.You begin to understand you need to travel a lot.
G.And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you.

A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.
By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible .Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.
The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.
Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.
EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the elements for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.
While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.
1.The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that______ .
A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment
B. emotional intelligence won’t show up until adolescence
C. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success
D. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence
2.The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means______ .
A. kind B. floating C. excited D. cheerful
3.Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?
A. To amuse both the children and readers.
B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.
C. To introduce the topic of the text.
D. To show us how to do an IQ test.
