7.Culture Shock
Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise,uncertainty,confusion,etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment,such as a foreign country.
Generally speaking,we could say that there are four stages of culture shock.The first stage is called"the honeymoon".In this stage,you are excited about living in a different place.(36)G
The next stage is"the hostility(敌意)stage".In this stage,you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was.(37)DMoreover,people don't treat you like a guest anymore.
Then you come to the third stage called"recovery".In this stage,you start to feel more positive.(38)BThe whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.
The last stage of culture shock is called"adjustment".In this stage,you have reached a point where you actually feel good.(39)EThe things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.
(40)CIt also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g.,from high school to college).

A.You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock.
B.And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand.
C.In addition,culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor.
D.You become tired of many things about the new culture.
E.You have learned enough to understand the new culture.
F.You begin to understand you need to travel a lot.
G.And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you.

4.Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely(61)on cultural values as well as personal experiences.To the Egyptians,green was a color(62)which/thatrepresented the hope and joy of spring,while for Muslims,it means heaven.Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures.During the Spring Festival in China,children (63)are given(give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year.For many nations,blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs.Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect (64)themselves against evils(灾祸).
People's(65)choice(choose) of colors is also influenced by their bodies'reactions toward them.Green is said to be (66)a most restful color.It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally (67)and physically.People(68)working  (work) in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.
Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites(食欲).Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant.And many commercial websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that (69)easily(easy) catches a person's eye.
Blue is another calming color.Unlike red,blue is believed to cause people to lose appetite.So(70)if/when you want to eat less,some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

19.Teddy Bear
Can you bear it?The famous teddy bear is more than 100years old,and got its name from a United States president.
In 1902,President Theodore"Teddy"Roosevelt took a trip to the American South to help work out a land disagreement between Mississippi and Louisiana.While there,the president went hunting for bears.
Days passed with no luck for the president,but lots of good luck for the bears.Finally,his guides captured (捕获) a bear and offered to let the president shoot it,so he wouldn't have to go home empty-handed.
Roosevelt flatly (断然地) refused.He thought it would be unfair and cruel.
When word of the president's decision got out,a cartoonist for The Washington Star newspaper drew a picture of the bear and Roosevelt holding up his hand to say"No".The cartoon was seen all over the country,making the president,who was already popular,a hero.
Meanwhile (同时),the owner of a small store in New York asked his wife to make a toy bear for sale.He displayed it in his window with a copy of the cartoon and a sign that said,"Teddy's Bear."
That bear,and many others like it,sold big,especially after President Roosevelt gave his official permission for his name to be used.Finally,the letter"s"was dropped and Teddy's Bear became simply the teddy bear.
So the bear that you've slept with is really a part of the US history.

21.According to the text,what made Theodore Rossevelt a hero?B
A.Being a popular president.

16.To err is human.To blame the other guy is even more human.
  Common sense is not all that common.
  Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
  These three popular misquotes (戏谑的引语) are meant to be jokes,and yet they tell us a lot about human nature.To err,or to make mistakes,is indeed a part of being human,but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for the problem.Perhaps it is the natural thing to do.The original quote about human nature went like this:To err is human,to forgive,divine (神圣的).This saying mirrors a deal people should be forgiving of others'mistakes.Instead,we tend to do the opposite---find someone else to pass the blame on to.However,taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.
Common sense is what we call clear thought.Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well,and it also means staying with the plan.Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm,but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine.Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations,because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything.People say that in a large company,"the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing."
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art?One of the common problems with making excuses is that people,especially young people get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time.There is a corollary (直接推论) to that:if good excuse is"good"even if it isn't honest,then where is the place of the truth?
28.According to the passage,which of the following seems the most human?D
A.To search for truth.
B.To achieve one's ideal.
C.To make fun of others'mistakes.
D.To criticize others for one's own error.
29.According to the author,what is a sign of a man's maturity?B
A.Doing things his own way.
B.Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.
C.Making as few mistakes as possible.
D.Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing.
30.What is the author's opinion about a good excuse?D
A.Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.
B.Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.
C.A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.
D.Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.
31.What would be the best title for his passage?A
A.Mirror of Human Nature          
B.To Blame or to Forgive
C.A Mark of Maturity             
D.Truth or Excuse.

17.Electrical devices(仪器)could soon use power made by human energy.Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking,British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.
The device connects to a person's knee.As the person walks,the device captures energy each time the person slows down.To do this,the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg,the movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity.Using the device,an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute.Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.
There are several possible uses for the device.Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers.The device could also he used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers,it could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.
The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms,but it is too costly for most people to buy,but the researchers hope to make a lighter,less costly version,An improved version should be ready in one year.
The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries; nearly twenty five prcent of people around the world live without electric power.
A similar product was invented in 2005by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania,He created a bag carried on a person's back that also produces power from walking.The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag,but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.
32.The second paragraph mainly talks aboutB
A.who developed the device
B.how the device works
C.several possible uses for the devices
D.how much electricity the device can produce
33.What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device?C
A.It is too heavy for the walker to bear
B.It is too complex for people to use
C.It is too expensive for most people to afford              
D.It will slow down one's walking speed
34.Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome,this new deviceA
A.produces power without adding more loads to the walker
B.can produce more power in a much shorter time
C.needs to be equipped with a battery        
D.can help the walker walk faster
35.What would be the best title for the passage?C
A.First device powered by walking will soon be on the market
B.Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakers
C.Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walking
D Human energy will become a main source of electricity.
