S. schools , meet U.S. teenagers , and form impressions of the real America . At the same time , about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world .
    Here is a two-way student exchange in action . Fred , nineteen ,spent last year in Gemany with George’s family . In turn , George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America .
    Fred , a lively young man , knew little German when he arrived , but after two months’ study , the language began to come to him . School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder . Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room . They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States . There were almost no outside activities .
    Family life , too , was different . The father’s word was law , and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first . Also , he missed having a car .
    “Back home ,you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time . In Germany , you walk , but you soon learn to like it .”
    At the same time , in America , Mike , a friendly German boy , was also forming his idea . “I suppose I should criticize American schools .” He says , “it is far too easy by our level . But I have to say that I like it very much . In Germany we do nothing but study . Here we take part in many outside activities . I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens . There ought to be some middle ground between the two .”

    Smiling
    People smile at times. However, the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different. Depending on different cultures, smiling can express joy and amusement, but it can also indicate embarrassment（苦恼）. The following examples show this point of view:
    In an attempt to be open and friendly, people in the United States smile a lot. Every one smiles at each other, this nonverbal communication shows being friendly in the United States. However，in China, smiling is not only an expression of happiness, but also a way to avoid being embarrassed. Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer（嘲笑）. For example: When a child falls off from a bike, the adults in China may smile, which is a kind of gentle encouragement and may not be a kind of impolite laugh.
    When a person from the United States might blush（脸红）with embarrassment or become offensive, a Chinese might blush with smile. To avoid serious misunderstanding, people who engage in intercultural communication should be able to understand the meaning of smiling appropriately. Related to the smile is the laugh. Also, different cultures have different meanings about laugh. For example, Americans can enjoy a very heartfelt belly (腹部) laugh that comes from the deepest emotions. However, most Chinese seldom laugh that way because they are thought to be silly except among close friends.

    The London Eye is a giant 135---meter tall Ferris wheel situated on the banks of the River Thames in the British capital. Since 20 January 2011, it has been officially known as the EDF Energy London Eye following a three---year deal with the company. It is the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe, and the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom, visited by over 3.5 million people every year. The London Eye is located at the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames In the London Borough of Lambeth in England, between Westminster Bridge( which has longer history than the famous Severn Bridge to the west of London) and Hungerford Bridge. When erected in 1999, it was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, until surpassed first by the 160 m Star of Nanchang in 2006, and the 165m Singapore Flyer in 2008.

In 2009, a 4D Film Experience was added as a free extra to enjoy before your ride on the Eye. Once you get high enough and start coming down the other side, you will see people reach for their cameras. Here’s where the good stuff is right at your fingertips(or seems so).

    TV Shows and Long Bus Trips
    Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end— with ads thrown in every three or four minutes. The ads are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard appears outside the bus window.“Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.”“Drink Good’n Wet Root Beer.”“Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”
    The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed—new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly daring, the ride can be as exciting as a suspense(悬念) story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane?After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
    The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests—even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
    小题1:According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
    A．Buses on the road.
    B．Films on television.
    C．Advertisements on billboards.
    D．Gas stations.
    小题2:What is the purpose of this passage?
    A．To talk about the similarities between long bus trips and TV shows.
    B．To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
    C．To display the differences between long bus trips and TV shows.
    D．To describe the billboards along the road.
    小题3:The writer of this passage would probably favor      
    A．bus drivers who weren’t caring.
    B．driving alone.
    C．a television set on the bus.
    D．no billboards along the road.
    小题4:The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because     
    A．the ads both on TV shows and on the billboards along the road are fun.
    B．they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between.
    C．the drivers are always daring on TV shows just as they are on buses.
    D．both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.
    小题5:The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are   
    A．exciting.
    B．comfortable.
    C．tiring.
    D．boring.

    Young children whose mothers talk with them more frequently and in more detail about people’s thoughts and feelings tend to be better at taking another person’s perspective（观点）than other children of the same age.
    That’s what researchers from the University of Western Australia found in a new study published in the journal Child Development.
    “Parents who frequently put themselves in someone else’s shoes in conversations with their children make it more likely their children will be able to do the same,” said lead author Brad Farrant.
    Researchers of the UWA’s Telethon Institute for Child Health Research looked at the influence of how parents interact with their children to learn more about how people develop the ability to take another’s perspective.
    The two-year study involved more than 120 Australian children aged between four and six, including children with typically developing language and others delayed in language acquisition（习得）.
    The children completed tasks which were designed to assess their language skills, ability to infer others’ beliefs and use these to predict others’ behavior, and their ability to shift flexibly between different perspectives.
    Among children with typically developing language, the researchers found that mothers who talked more often and in greater detail about people’s thoughts and feelings — commenting on how another person might react to a particular situation as well as their own feelings about the topic — had children with better language skills and better perspective-taking skills.
    Children with delayed language acquisition were also delayed in their development of perspective-taking skills. This displays the role played by language as children develop the ability to take another’s perspective.
    “Solving the many challenges that the world faces today requires us all to get better at taking the perspective of other people,” said Brad Farrant.
    小题1:According to the text, to help children gain better perspective-taking skills, parents should __________.
    A．give their children more chances to express themselves
    B．talk more with their children about people’s feelings
    C．encourage their children to guess other people’s thoughts
    D．spend more time playing with their children
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE about the study?
    A．Over one hundred American children took part in it.
    B．All the children had delayed in language acquisition.
    C．The children in the study were around five years old.
    D．Mothers helped their children to complete the tasks.
    小题3:Which have an effect on the development of children’s perspective-taking skills?
    A．The surrounding environments.
    B．Mother’s perspectives.
    C．Personal characters.
    D．Language skills.
    小题4:In the last paragraph, Brad Farrant __________.
    A．stressed the importance of perspective-taking skills
    B．expressed his concern about the world’s challenges
    C．showed how to take the perspective of other people
    D．explained why other people’s opinions are important
    小题5:According to the text, we can learn __________.
    A．parents should talk to their children frequently no matter how old their children are
    B．it was Brad Farrant who wrote the study in Child Development herself
    C．the only way to improve language skill is talking to children more often
    D．parents who are always thinking about others will help their children do the same way

    The necktie looks set to follow the top hat in being handed over to the fashion museum by office workers within the next 50 years, according to research.
    Nearly three quarters (74%) think the tie will not survive within British firms beyond the next half a century with the popularity of the open-collared shirt. Its demise is being blamed on the boom in creative businesses, such as Facebook and Google, and online trading companies where formal dress codes tend to be avoided in favour of a more casual approach.
    Once considered an important part of business dress, the tie has become a victim of the spread of "casual Fridays" into other weekdays, according to researchers.
    The poll, by Deal Jungle. com, which helps small and medium enterprises, found more than half (51% ) thought the tie would die out in offices within the next 20 years and almost a quarter (22%) believed it would last less than 10 years.
    A spokesman for the site, which has 20, 000 registered members, said: "Ties have been around seemingly forever but increasing numbers of office workers are telling them to get away."

    "The success of businesses such as Facebook and Google, where even the CEO turns up wearing jeans and a hoodie, also seems to have had a corrosive (侵蚀性) effect on the idea of dressing formally for work."
    "Many of our members keep their expenses to a minimum by working from home so they feel no need to dress up to go to work. We know that when they meet with clients, they still put on a business suit, but a tie is no longer seen as an essential part of the suited-and-booted look."
    "Instead, many businessmen and increasing numbers of executives choose a suit and shirt with an open collar. The tie-less suit creates an impression of a more approachable deal maker, someone who is still business-minded, yet creative and technology-sensible, too. "
    小题1:Why are ties expected to disappear in offices?
    A．CEOs in creative businesses set a rule to forbid wearing ties.
    B．The idea of casual weekdays is increasingly accepted.
    C．Office workers are tired of wearing ties daily.
    D．The tie-less look appears more modern.
    小题2:According to the spokesman, how are their members dressed before clients?
    A．Business suits and casual jeans.
    B．Formal suits and a shirt with a tie.
    C．Casual suits and buttoned-up shirt.
    D．Business suits and an open-collared shirt.
    小题3:What kind of image does the tie-less suit create?
    A．Accessible in business.B．Professional in fashion.
    C．Casual in working.D．Creative in dressing.
    小题4:What does the underlined word "demise" mean in Para.2?
    A．popularityB．survivalC．disappearanceD．development
