    Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal （信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
    Different cultures emphasize （强调） the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, 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 countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes 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 present just stared at me 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 unnecessary.
    Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar 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 different 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 environment （多元文化环境） will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
    小题1:In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _____.
    A．develop closer relationsB．share the same culture
    C．get to know each otherD．keep each other company
    小题2:The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________.
    A．the English prefer to make long speeches
    B．too many words are of no use
    C．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
    D．even talk and silence can be culturally different
    小题3:According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
    A．By sharing different ways of life.B．By accepting different habits.
    C．By recognizing different values.D．By speaking each other’ s languages.
    小题4:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．Multicultural Environment.B．Cross-Cultural Differences.
    C．How to Understand Each Other.D．How to Build Up a Relationship.

    Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.
    By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”
    Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “I’ll learn chess,” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, you’ll have a better understanding of your brain from now.
    Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project, you’ll probably have more success.
    Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you’re half-way there.
    Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.
    小题1:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．A Way on How to Write.
    B．Increase Your Brain Power through Writing.
    C．Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing.
    D．How to Start Your Writing.
    小题2:According to the text, writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT ______.
    A．the increase of your brain power
    B．the ability to remember
    C．the development of your interest in study
    D．the better understanding of a topic
    小题3: If a writer writes something, it means that he or she ______.
    A．has understood it very well
    B．needs to understand it better
    C．wants to remember it in his or her mind
    D．is exercising his or her “explain power”
    小题4:The underlined sentence “you’re half-way there” in the fifth paragraph implies
    that ______.
    A．you are already successful
    B．you still need to work hard
    C．writing can help you walk half way
    D．writing is important to solve problems
    小题5: What’s the main purpose of the writer writing the text?
    A．To advise readers to start their writing.
    B．To explain the importance of writing.
    C．To persuade readers to become writers.
    D．To increase readers’ brain power.

    Americans have contributed (做贡献) to many art forms, and jazz, a type of music, is one of the art forms started in the United States. Black Americans, who sang and played the music of their homeland, created jazz.
    Jazz is a mixture of the music of Africa, the work songs the slaves sang, and religious(宗教) music. Improvisation (即兴表演) is an important part of jazz. This is why a jazz song sounds a little different each time it is played.
    Jazz bands formed in the late 1800s. They played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities of the South, especially New Orleans. New Orleans is an international seaport, and people from all over the world come to New Orleans to hear jazz.
    Jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s, jazz was popular all over the United States. By the 1940s, you could hear jazz not only in clubs and bars, but in concert halls as well. Today, people from all over the world play jazz. Jazz musicians from the United States, Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe meet and share their music at festivals on every continent.

    Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently—animals.
    　　That’s right, animals. Scientists have begun to understand what farmers have known for thousands of years. Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a Chinese quake in 1975, snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. Cows broke their halters (缰绳) and tried to escape. Chickens refused to enter their cage. All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in the earth, warned Chinese scientists of the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives.
    　　One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It’s not an easy job. First of all not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1977, for example, an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his enclosure. The Australian horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. It’s also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animal restlessness and “earthquake nerves”. A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers to say that his cougar had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach.
    　　A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can sense tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of Earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.
    　　A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were shut in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes. (Several small quakes often come before or after a large one.) Before each quake a low booming sound was heard. Each boom caused the dogs to bark wildly. Then the dogs began to bark during a silent period. A scientist who was recording quakes looked at his machine. It was acting as though there were a loud noise too. The scientist realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing.
    In this case there was a machine to monitor what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing extraordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming. The animals might be sensing something we measure but do not recognize as a warning. Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know it is a danger signal, is a job for future scientists.
    小题1:Through the passage the writer hopes to explore __________.
    A．why animals send a danger signal before an earthquake
    B．how animals know when an earthquake is coming
    C．why animals not men have good sense of danger
    D．how much animals know about an earthquake
    小题2: During an earthquake in China in 1975, _________.
    A．chickens refused to go out of their cage
    B．snakes were frozen to death in their caves
    C．snakes awoke from their winter sleep earlier
    D．cows broke their halters and escaped from their sheds
    小题3:Which of the following is one of earthquake nerves according to the passage?
    A．An Arabian horse tried to escape from his enclosure.
    B．A cougar had an upset stomach unexpectedly.
    C．An Australian horse was perfectly calm.
    D．A cat acted very strangely in a zoo.
    小题4:The scientists did an experiment with a group of dogs to _________.
    A．find out that the machine could record unusual happenings
    B．compare the reactions of animals and those of humans
    C．prove that animals could sense more than humans
    D．find out what exact warnings animals sent

    Cultural practices, cultural differences, local manners, and mores: traveling the globe can be a behavioral minefield, even when you have the best intentions. Everything from greeting to eating can be an opportunity to do the wrong thing, and not only embarrass yourself, but offend your host countrymen. Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them while going abroad.
    1.Touching Someone
    Where It's Offensive
    		Korea, Thailand, China, Europe, the Middle East.
    What's Offensive
    		In Mediterranean countries, if you don’t touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm embrace, you'll be considered cold. But backslapping someone who isn't a family member or a good friend in Korea will make them uncomfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacred--never even pat a child on the head.
    What You Should Do Instead
    		Observe what locals are doing and follow suit. In Eastern countries remember that touching and public displays of affection are unacceptable. In places like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, men and women are forbidden from talking, let alone touching.
    2.Blowing Your Nose
    Where It's Offensive
    		Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, France
    What's Offensive
    		Some cultures find it disgusting to blow your nose in public--especially at the table. The Japanese and Chinese also dislike it even with a handkerchief.
    What You Should Do Instead
    		If traveling through Eastern and Asian countries, don’t use handkerchief but choose disposable（可溶解的）tissues. In France and in Eastern countries, if you're dining and need to clear your nose, excuse yourself and head to the restroom.
    3.Talking Over Dinner
    Where It's Offensive
    		Africa, Japan, Thailand, China, Finland.
    What's Offensive
    		In some countries, like China, Japan, and some African nations, don't start chatting while everyone else is digging into dinner, because mealtimes are for eating, not talking. Also avoid conversations in places a country might consider sacred or reflective---churches in Europe, temples in Thailand, and saunas in Finland.
    What You Should Do Instead
    		Keep quiet!
    4.Removing Your Shoes…or Not
    Where It's Offensive
    		Hawaii, the South Pacific, Korea, China, Thailand
    What's Offensive
    		Taking off shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party will be regarded as uncivilized, but failing to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands will be considered disrespectful.
    What You Should Do Instead
    		If you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. If not, keep the shoes on.
    5.Knowing Your Right from Your Left
    Where It's Offensive
    		India, Morocco, Africa, the Middle East
    What's Offensive
    		Many cultures still prefer to eat using traditional methods--their hands. In these cases, food is often shared, which is why it's important to wash your hands before eating and observe the right-hand-is-for-eating and the left-hand-is-for-other-duties rule. If you eat with your left hand, expect your fellow diners to be offended.
    What You Should Do Instead
    		Left-handed? Attempt to be ambidextrous --- even children who are left-handed in these cultures are taught to eat with their right hand.
    小题1:In which country can you greet someone with a kiss?
    A．ThailandB．EnglandC．QatarD．Hawaii
    小题2:If you’re in Japan and you’ve got a bad cold, what should you do at dinner?
    A．Excuse yourself and leave for home.B．Blow your nose with a handkerchief.
    C．Use some disposable tissues when neededD．Go to the restroom.
    小题3:Before entering your friend’s house in a foreign country, you’d better ______.
    A．greet the host or hostess firstB．follow others’ behaviors
    C．remove your shoes firstD．respect their customs
    小题4: To enjoy your dinner in India, you have to ______.
    A．avoid talking over dinnerB．keep your shoes on
    C．share food with othersD．eat with your right hand
