【题目】 I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hospitable(好客的) and friendly—but only once they had been introduced to new people.
However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.
I experienced Italian hospitality first－hand on a crowded railway carriage travelling, one afternoon, from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was berated(斥责) in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat－it had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, realized my genuine mistake. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey. The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them. I feel that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.
Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else's privacy. However, when I travelled across the United States, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself. They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.
【1】What do we know about the occupants of the carriage when the author was travelling in Italy?
A.They all laughed at the author for his mistake.
B.They would not bear a mistake like the author's in public.
C.They were all on the side of the gentleman.
D.They all showed their understanding of the author's mistake.
【2】The author probably believes the Italian people are________.
A.coldB.rude
C.hospitableD.helpful
【3】According to the last paragraph, English passengers sat in near silence because________.
A.they were all strangers to each other
B.they were too tired to speak
C.privacy was a valued tradition in England
D.everybody had their own share of privacy
【4】The purpose of the author is to tell us ________.
A.his travelling experience
B.cultural differences to show hospitality and politeness
C.the culture shock he experienced in Italy and the US
D.how to adapt ourselves to a new culture

【题目】 Jazz guitarist Joel Harrison came of age in 1960s and 70s' Washington, but he never saw it as a place to build a career as an adventurous, progressive musician. Everywhere he's gone, however, he's taken the sounds of the city with him.
'Growing up in that area allowed me access to a lot of different kinds of music,' says Harrison, 61, who's now based in New York after living in Boston and San Francisco. 'Southern music traditions-old-time music, bluegrass, country as well as jazz and R&B.'
All of those appear to some degree in Free Country, a project Harrison began in 2003 as a means of filtering (渗透) country and bluegrass compositions through a up-to-date jazz sound and sensibility.

He received a Guggenheim scholarship in2010 to compose and record an, eight-movement piece.

D.Touring the country.
