    There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US. They’re hard working, respectful but strange sometimes. If you don’t understand the culture, you will get some problems with them. Asian people are different from any other cultures if you think you know them, you might want to think again.

    How are they different? When it comes to most Asian culture, respect is everything. You can do anything you want but don't disrespect an Asian man. You will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he is your boss. It’s something called “face saving” in the Asian culture. It’s ridiculous sometimes but it’s their culture. Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work. Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal.

    Americans are very different from Asian people. If you’re Asian, you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them. It will be easier for you since you’re in their countries. Imagine an American working in China, expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone. I think they will take him outside and take care of him. It just doesn’t work that way with Asian people.

    If you’re an American boss giving your Asian employee a review, you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks. They will think that you don’t like them, disrespectful, and want to get rid of them; when in fact, you’re just doing your job. Of course, it’s not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employee’s mind.

    1.The Americans can’t get along well with the Asians probably because______.

    A. their cultures are different

    B. they don’t like each other

    C. both of them are too proud

    D. they have different political views

    2.The underlined phrase “face saving” in Paragraph 2 probably means_____.

    A. saving some money for later use

    B. making faces to please your boss

    C. showing some respect to somebody

    D. helping somebody out of trouble

    3. From the third paragraph we can know that it is difficult_________.

    A. for the Asians to accept the culture in America

    B. for the Americans to adapt to the culture in China

    C. for people to learn the culture in a foreign country

    D. for people to follow the culture in their own country

    4.The negative remarks an American boss gives on your work probably mean he/she ____________________.

    A. doesn’t like you any longer

    B. thinks you are not worth respecting

    C. offer you some better advice

    D. wants you to improve your work

    The Meaning of Dreams

    Sleep and dreams have interested people for centuries. Scientists are learning more about sleep, but they still know very little about why we dream.

    1. First, we have most of our dreams during REM(rapid eye movement)sleep. At this time, the brain is very active. Second, everyone dreams, even if we can't remember doing so when we awaken. 2. While we are sleep, it works more slowly and sometimes puts our thoughts and memories together in strange ways.

    3. . Some believe that our dreams are associated with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake. Many dream researchers think that a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change. 4. . Dreams about a car or travel often represent (代表) feelings about your own life. Dreams about teeth—especially broken or loose ones—may indicate（预示） stress or fear. Dreams in which you are flying often represent freedom or escape.

    It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socializing with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.

    German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.

    Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socializing movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.

    Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.

    You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.

    1.The soldiers began socializing with the enemy because ________.

    A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killing

    B. it was the best way to avoid being killed

    C. they feared that they would be caught

    D. their enemies were from similar backgrounds

    2.How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socializing?

    A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.

    B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.

    C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.

    D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.

    3.The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.

    A. satisfied B. shocked C. amused D. confused

    4.The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.

    A. are not trustworthy under stress

    B. are naturally aggressive and war-like

    C. are basically caring and kindhearted

    D. will always do what is in their own self-interest

    Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving link, driving will be affected.

    Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.

    The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:

    ● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or

    ● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or

    ● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液).

    Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.

    Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.

    The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.

    Drink driving is a criminal offence（违法犯罪行为）. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.

    1.The first paragraph is mainly about ________.

    A. the introduction of driving skills

    B. the damage of drinking to your body

    C. the effect of drinking on driving

    D. the process of alcohol being absorbed

    2.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.

    A. alcohol B. absorption C. blood D. process

    3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.

    B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.

    C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.

    D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit.

    4.A driver suspected of (被怀疑) drink driving ________.

    A. should provide specimens for testing

    B. will be forbidden to drive for 3years

    C. will be punished for 10 driving-offence points

    D. should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000
