    　　In most cultures, when you meet acquaintances for the first time during a day, it is normal to greet them．The main purpose of this greeting is to build up a good relationship between the people concerned, and each language usually has a number of set phrases which can be used for this purpose．Sometimes there can be considerable differences in the type of phrases which can be used, and cultural misunderstanding can easily result．The following is a true example．

    　　A young British woman went to Hong Kong to work, and at the time of her arrival she knew nothing ?about? the Chinese culture or language．On her way to school one day she went to the bank to get some money．To her surprise, the bank clerk asked her if she had had her lunch．She was extremely surprised at such a question because in the British culture it would be regarded as an indirect invitation to lunch．Between unmarried young people it can also indicate the young man’s interest in dating the girl; so since this bank clerk was a complete stranger to the British girl, she was very much surprised and hastily commented that she had eaten already．

    　　After this she proceeded to school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question．By now, she realized that it could not be an invitation, but was puzzled as to why they asked it．In the following days, she was asked the same question again and again, and she spent hours trying to work out why so many people kept asking her this．

    　　Eventually she came to a conclusion：the people must be concerned about her health．She was somewhat underweight at the time, and so she concluded they must be worried that she was not eating properly!Only much later did she discover that the question had no real significance at all－it was merely a greeting．

    Saving the Planet with Earth-Friendly Bamboo Products
    Jackie Heinricher’s love affair with bamboo started in her backyard. “As a child, I remember playing among the golden bamboo my dad had planted, and when there was a slight wind, the bamboos sounded really musical.”
    A fisheries biologist, Heinricher, 47, planned to work in the salmon industry in Seattle, where she lived with her husband, Guy Thornburgh, but she found it too competitive. Then her garden gave her the idea for a business: She’d planted 20 bamboo forests on their seven-acre farm. 
    Heinricher started Boo-Shoot Gardens in 1998. She realized early on what is just now beginning to be known to the rest of the world. It can be used to make fishing poles, skateboards, buildings, furniture, floors, and even clothing. An added bonus: Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.
    First she had to find a way to mass-produce the plants—a tough task, since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50 to 100 years. And dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it.
    Heinricher appealed to Randy Burr, a tissue culture expert, to help her. “People kept telling us we’d never figure it out,” says Heinricher. “Others had worked on it for 27 years! I believed in what we were doing, though, so I just kept going.”
    She was right to feel a sense of urgency. Bamboo forests are being rapidly used up, and a United Nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly renewable, as many as half of the world’s species are threatened with dying out. Heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant impact on carbon emissions (排放) and world economies, but only if huge numbers could be produced. And that’s just what she and Burr figured out after nine years of experiments—a way to grow millions of plants. By placing cuttings in test tubes with salts, vitamins, plant hormones, and seaweed gel, they got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhouses.
    Not long after it, Burr’s lab hit financial difficulties. Heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation, but she wasn’t prepared to quit. So she bought the lab.
    Today Heinricher heads up a profitable multimillion-dollar company, working on species from all over the world and selling them to wholesalers. “If you want to farm bamboo, it’s hard to do without the young plants, and that’s what we have,” she says proudly.
    56. What was the main problem with planting bamboo widely?
    A. They didn’t have enough young bamboo.
    B. They were short of money and experience.
    C. They didn’t have a big enough farm to do it.
    D. They were not understood by other people.
    57. What does Heinricher think of bamboo?
    A. Renewable and acceptable                             B. Productive and flexible.
    C. Useful and earth-friendly.                                 D. Strong and profitable.
    58. The underlined word “renewable” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”.
    A. able to be replaced naturally                B. able to be raised difficultly
    C. able to be shaped easily                    D. able to be recycled conveniently
    59. What do you learn from the passage?
    A. Heinricher’s love for bamboo led to her experiments in the lab.
    B. Heinricher’s determination helped her to succeed in her work.
    C. Heinricher struggled to prevent bamboo from disappearing.
    D. Heinricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.

    Native Tongue

    At first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English. Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying.

    “Why did they do this?” Kate wondered aloud. “I mean, you can’t learn if you can’t understand the teacher.”

    Nadia’s voice was a whisper. “I understand English. I will learn.” Nadia’s English was perfect.

    Kate was perplexed. She couldn’t understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn’t the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn all at the same time.

    “There’re a lot of new things to learn, huh?” said Kate.

    Nadia nodded rapidly. In a quiet voice she replied, “Many things people say, I do not understand. I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are saying. For example, yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying. Isn’t a port a place for ships? I was confused.”

    “Don’t worry,” said Kate. “You’ll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a computer. A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer.”

    Nadia and Kate were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson. To Kate’s surprise, Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.

    Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her. Some of the questions were really difficult, and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher said that Nadia answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands.

    Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. “Some things,” she said in a normal voice, “are the same all over the world.”

    56. Where did Nadia come from? (Within 5words)

    _______________________________________________________________________________57. What made Kate perplexed? (Within 5words)

    58. Please explain the phrase “figure everything out” in English. (Within 10words)
