    　　Hong Kong is a city inclined toward red; in Thailand the color is yellow; India leans toward reds and oranges. These are not political colors, but colors that suggest religious beliefs.

    　　To an Asian colors are full of beliefs, religious and otherwise. To the Chinese, red means luck, but to Thais yellow brings good fortune. The combination of blue, black, and white is ,to the Chinese, suggestive of a funeral（葬礼）.

    　　Many Western businessmen believe that most Asians have become Westernized in their outlook. This is true in part. But Westernization and education do not usually completely replace the culture and beliefs of an Asian's forefathers. They tend instead to make a more sophisticated（复杂的）combination of his culture and religion. The approach required to sell an Asian any commodity（商品）must follow the basic formula（推测）of following national prides, admitting equality, and understanding the Asian's beliefs.

    　　Color is a touchy（须小心对待的）thing. Advertisers are advised to take into consideration the religious and super stitious（迷信的） beliefs connected with colors before using them. The color combinations of green and purple are accepted throughout Asia as these colors seem to have been worn by religious leaders in earlier times.

    　　However, using one or both of these colors is no guar antee（保证）of sales, as an outstanding producer of waterrecreation products learned in Malaysia. Its home office received heated request from its distributors（批发商）to shop shipments on all products colored green. The distributors re-ported that numerous customers associated the color green with the jungle and illness.

    (1) Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

    [　　]

    A．Colors Communicate.

    B．Green and Purple：A sign of Religious Leadership.

    C．An Expensive Lesson in Malaysia.

    D．The Westernization of Asia.

    (2) What color is considered lucky in Thailand?

    [　　]

    A．Red
    B．Orange
    C．Purple
    D．Yellow.

    (3) What does the underlined words “home office” in the last paragraph refer to?

    [　　]

    A．The office at the manager's home.

    B．The major distribution office in Malaysia.

    C．The new type of mobile office.

    D．The office in its own country.

    (4) What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?

    [　　]

    A．Most Asians have become Westernized.

    B．Asian businessmen have given up their own beliefs.

    C．Western businessmen must respect the Asians' beliefs.

    D．All Asians think green means illness.

    答案：A;D;D;C
    解析：

    (1)全文主要谈论的是不同颜色在不同文化背景下表达不同的含义．

    (2)文章第一段和第二段都指出黄色在泰国是吉祥色．

    (3)从最后一段可知，这里的home指的并不是家里，而是指产品生产国．

    (4)由文章第三段可知．

    The porter brings your bags to your room and helpfully explains all you want to know. Then he points to the phone and says: “If there’s anything else you need, just call. ”All this time you have been thinking one thing: “How much should I tip(付小费) him? ”To make your next trip a little easier, here’s a guide to tipping across some Asian countries.

    Bangkok.

    In general, the more Westernized the place is, the more likely you will be expected to leave a tip. Some top-end restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. If not, waiters will appreciate you tacking  on(附加) the 10% yourself. However, If you’re eating at a lower-end(低档的) restaurant a tip is not necessary. If you’re staying at one of Bangkok’s many five-star hotels, expect to tip the porter 20 to 50 baht, depending on how many bags you have. Taxis are now metered in Bangkok. Local custom is to round the fare(车费) up to the nearest five baht.

    Hong Kong

    Tipping is customary in this money-mad metropolis(大都市). Most restaurants add a 10% service charge to the bill, but the extra money often ends up in the pocket of the owner. If the service is good, add another 10% to the bill, up to HK $100 in an especially nice restaurant. For HK $10 hotel porters should do it at all but the nicest hotels where a new KH $20 bill may be more acceptable. When in a taxi, round up(凑整数) to the nearest dollar.

    Kuala Lumpur

    Tipping in Malaysia is limited to the expensive Westernized hotels, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel room. If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service charge. But at local restaurants, there’s no need to add a tip. At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit will content a porter. At lower-end buildings don’t feel you have to tip. Loke Bangkok, many taxis are now metered(打表) so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit.

    Seoul

    Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where 10% service charge is often added. If you’re at a Korean barbecue joint(烧烤处), there’s no need to add anything extra. But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution. If you’re at a top-end hotel, so expect to pay 1 000 Won per bag. Taxi drivers don’t accept a tip. Keep the change for yourself.

    1. In which of the following cities is it unnecessary to tip the taxi-drivers?

    A. Bangkok.　　   　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    B. Hong Kong.

    C. Kuala Lumpur.　　   　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Seoul.

    2. Which of the following is not the unit of money?

    A. Charge.　　   　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   B. Baht.

    C. Won.　　   　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  D. Ringgit.

    3. From the text, we can infer tipping comes from______.

    A. Hong Kong

    B. the West

    C. Asian countries

    D. Bangkok

    4. The writer seems______.

    A. to tell the readers how to travel

    B. to give the readers some advice on how to tip

    C. to ask the readers to go on a travel to Asian cities

    D. to make the trip more pleasant

    　　When six the very best students from different cities in Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment(录取)rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48：1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is．

    　　Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”．But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation．The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students．

    　　It’s no doubt to call this HK craze(狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves．

    　　How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?

    　　First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400, 000 HK dollars．Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great．

    　　Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual(双语)education．This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students．

    　　Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students．

    　　Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it．

    　　The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China．After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities．

    　　At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees(学费)are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities．It’s time to move．

    HONG KONG — Hong Kong Disneyland is too crowded, a senior Chinese tourism official said today, hinting that another Disney Park is necessary to accommodate demand from China’s huge population.

    The comments by Shao Qiwei, director of China’s State Administration of Tourism, came a day after Shanghai’s mayor Han Zheng said the city was preparing to build China’s second Disney theme park.

    “China has a very large population. We now have 1.3 billion people. The market is very large. As far as I know, Hong Kong Disneyland is now very crowded,” said Shao, whose comments were broadcast on Hong Kong’s Cable TV.

    The Hong Kong theme park, which opened in September, was widely criticized in January when it turned away hundreds of Lunar New Year holiday makers from mainland China because the park was full. Chaos(混乱) erupted when angry crowds tried to force their way into the park.

    The embarrassing incident prompted a public apology from Hong Kong Disneyland Managing Director Bill Ernest and a dressing down from Hong Kong’s leader Donald Tsang. Authorities are carefully studying the issue of overcrowding in preparation for the possible building of the Disney park in Shanghai, Shao said.

    The official Xinhua News Agency reported Tuesday that no agreement has been reached on the park in Shanghai, quoting senior vice president of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Leslie Goodman. Hong Kong Disneyland is a joint venture between The Walt Disney Co. and the local government, which shouldered the bulk of the park’s construction fees.

    1. Why is it necessary to build a Disney park in Shanghai?

    　 A. Hong Kong Disneyland can’t meet the need of the large population.

    B. Hong Kong Disneyland is too small and very crowded.

    　 C. Hong Kong Disney Park was criticized by tourists.

    D. Hong Kong Disneyland is far from the mainland.

    2. Hundreds of visitors from Mainland China got angry because ________.

    A. the services in the park were not as good as expected

    B. they were not allowed to go into the park

    C. the park was too crowded

    D. chaos happened at the entrance to the park

    3. The building of a Disney park in Shanghai ________.

    　A. has been agreed to by The Walt Disney Co.

    　B. is financed The Walt Disney Co.

    　C. will be in the charge of the Shanghai government

    　D. remains to be discussed with The Walt Disney Co.
