【题目】阅读下面表格的短文,然后按照要求用英语写一篇 150词左右的短文。

When in London by tube with mainly English passengers, we tend to sit together in total silence. However, when I traveled in China, people sitting next to me often asked me about my age, salary, and even marriage. They were also willing to introduce themselves as much possible.

On the first day I arrived in China, a Chinese professor invited me to dinner accompanied by his colleagues. After dinner, the professor paid for the meal alone, although the others also offered to pay for it. In Britain, we are accustomed to going “Dutch” while eating in a restaurant.

One day, at a friend's birthday party, I met with a foreign friend and offered my hand, meanwhile he bowed to me. We were both at a loss for a moment, but soon he seemed to be conscious of something and shook my hand naturally.

【答案】Cultural differences do exist in every corner of the world, where the same behavior often carries totally different meanings when we socialize with people. The three experiences above are typical examples.
It's not uncommon to witness people's living habits, values along with customs, which vary widely throughout the world, have led to cultural misunderstandings. Take greetings as a case in point, Chinese people tend to say ‘Have you eaten yet?', while in western countries, topics are always related to occupations, families, weather and so on. What's more, when receiving praise from others, foreigners usually show their gratitude with a smile. However, Chinese never fail to pretend to be humble, with a ‘Just so-so' in response, which is also a convincing proof of cultural differences.
When we are caught in a dilemma to communicate with foreigners, it's high time that we hold an open mind to embrace different cultures, where, in turn, a critical eye is also needed. We ought to select the good essence of foreign cultures rather than blindly copy them. In short, it's everyone' efforts towards the fusion(融合) of cultures that minimize the gap between people.

【题目】It's been said that life turns on small things. Sometimes it's hard to see how small choices can change your life. But when put together over time, the little things can make the biggest difference.

The theme of Success for Teens is “Little Things Matter.” The book helps teens identify small, positive choices they can make in their lives to help them reach their goals. Lots of teens don't realize how the little choices in their lives can have lasting effects. Often they are focused on the bigger events, such as a major exam, the big game or competition, or choosing a college. The little things, however, can go unnoticed unless your teen understands how important they can be.

The little things that lead to success are mostly easy to do. Help your teen identify a few areas in everyday life where he or she can make small, positive choices. It might be as simple as getting up on time, prioritizing (按重要性排列) their schoolwork, putting in an extra 10 minutes of practice or using some spare time to help someone else.

Nineteenyearold Kyle Freas used to be on his school baseball team and would play every day after school. When the season was over, he had an empty three hours a day, so he started spending one third of such extra time daily, looking for ways to help other kids. Over the last few years, his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused, homeless and sick children. Kyle spent just a little time each day doing something that ended up benefiting a lot of kids. The important thing to understand is that Kyle made the small and positive decisions necessary for success.

Make sure your child understands that even though the results of the positive choices may not be seen right away, they are building on each other and taking him or her on a path that will lead to success.

1We learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.

A. dealing with big events is most important in one's life

【题目】A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of typical teenage stuff: school, baseball practice, homework. And then he starts cooking.

“Some nights I’m up until I am making pies, or even later if we’re braising () beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.

For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster’s parents’ home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them.

Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them, until the pair decided to do something nice for charity (慈善).

“We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen gadgets (小物件),” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something positive for people other than us.”

Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity that aims to teach kids in poor communities (社区) to cook and make healthy eating choices.

The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster’s parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 (10,600 yuan) to the charity.

Now, they’re taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. Lanster and Moran have started to organize private dinner parties with a similar model: the host pays for the ingredients, and the guests make a donation to a charity of their choice.

Without formal (正规的) training, Lanster said he had been interested in cooking since he helped his mom in the kitchen when he was very young. He learned how to cook by reading cookbooks and watching TV programs.

Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither is sure what they will do in the future, but they’ve promised their parents that they’ll leave professional cooking alone until they finish school.

1How is Lanster’s life different from other teenagers’ lives?

A. He stays up late to finish homework.

B. He plays baseball every day after school.

C. He goes to a cooking school in his spare time.

D. He holds dinner parties to collect money for charity.

2After each dinner party, Lanster and Moran ______.

A. receive thank-you cards from the guests

B. cover the food costs with the money they have collected

C. ask their guests to donate money to charity

D. visit the poor children at Common Threads

3Which of the following about Lanster and Moran is TRUE?

A. They received formal cooking training before starting their dinner parties.

B. They hate going to school and trying to do something different.

C. They’ve made up their minds to become professional chefs.

D. Their way of giving to charity is different from others.

4Which of the following words best describe Lanster and Moran?

A. Creative and helpful. B. Humorous and optimistic.

C. Outgoing and patient. D. Confident and cautious.

【题目】With the development of our society, cell phones have become a common part in our lives. Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on We Chat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name-phubbers (低头族).

Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities (身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors’ words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

1Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?

A. To suggest phubbers will destroy the world

B. To call for people to go walking without phones

C. To tell people of the bad effects of phubbing

D. To advise students to create more cartoons like this

2According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have?

Destructing the world

Affecting his social skills

Damaging his neck and eyesight

Getting separated from his friends and family

A. ①②④ B. ②③④

C. ①③④ D. ①②③④

3What’s the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A. Supportive B. Confident

C. Disapproving D. Optimistic

4What will be talked about in the following paragraph?

A. Ways to avoid the risks of phubbing B. Bad effects of pudding

C. Daily life of phubbers D. Methods of phubbing
