    　　Did you ever think someone was scary (可怕的) because they looked different or ate strange food? Well, they might think the same about you! One of the things we all need to do is to celebrate variety. We shouldn't think badly of people from other cultures because they are different from our own.

    　　Sometimes we judge people from other countries unfairly, because one person from that culture did something bad. Well, has your class ever been punished just because a few kids were causing trouble? Has your whole family ever been blamed for something your little sister did? It doesn't seem fair, does it? It's just as unfair to blame a whole culture for what two or three people do.

    　　So here are some things that you can do to help yourself understand other cultures.

    　　1．Find common ground! Remember that even though some people look different on the outside, it doesn't change what they look on the inside. They still have the same feelings!

    　　2．Don't blame everyone because of one! So let's say someone from another culture is being mean (卑劣的) and you decide to avoid everyone from that culture. Well, think about it. Why are you blaming them for something they didn't have anything to do with? Put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel? Trying to understand how a person thinks can be a very good way to understand why they are acting that way. Remember, other people may not think the same way.

    　　3．Try to make friends with people from other cultures. You could ask them what they know about their culture, or what it was like in their country. Try foods from that culture, or ask them if they know any words in that language. You might be surprised at how pure other cultures can be! You can have great discussions and have lots of fun doing new things.

    　　4．Know that people always judge other people. If you know what you are thinking then you can help make things easier. Pay attention to what you think about other people. It helps!

    1．What is mainly discussed in this passage?

    [　　]

    A．Why there are differences between people.

    B．What to do to understand other cultures.

    C．How people feel when they meet people from other cultures.

    D．Where differences between people lie.

    2．In the author's opinion, one mistake when we treat cultural differences is that we ________.

    [　　]

    A．cannot see and share what peoples have in common

    B．believe that other people may certainly think badly of us

    C．don't want to learn anything valuable in other cultures

    D．try to find the reason for the differences

    3．The underlined word“celebrate”here most probably means ________.

    [　　]

    A．to feel proud of
    B．to express thanks to
    C．to understand and enjoy
    D．to pay attention to

    4．The author believes that ________.

    [　　]

    A．some people are actually kind though but they sometimes do something bad

    B．one person cannot stand for the real culture he is in

    C．some people really have nothing to do with their culture

    D．if you judge someone badly he will do the same to you.

    5．By saying“… then you can help make things easier.” the author means you will ________.

    [　　]

    A．make more friends

    B．know more about the world

    C．have more fun in life

    D．find less difference between you and others

    答案：B;A;C;B;D
    解析：

    　　1．　　本文第一段总起提出面对文化差异人们所产生的错误认识的问题，然后就此提出解决建议．读完全文即可知其中心．

    　　2．　　作者在第四段建议我们要find common ground，可见他认为不能做到这一点是人们的错误所在．故答A．

    　　3．　　celebrate通常的意义是“庆祝”，但这里应是“赞赏”之意．celebrate variety意即要把文化的差异看作是一件好事．

    　　4．　　第二段和第五段对此进行了反复的论述．

    　　5．　　从作者的总体论述中不难看出，他的观点是“只要我们能有换位思维，有文化包容心理，那么一切事情都好办”，换言之，“你就会发现异种文化间无所谓有什么差别了．”

    阅读理解:阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。 

        Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and　　 they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated　　 (证实) that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time,　　 prefer water with vitamins (维生素) to water without vitamins, even　　 though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water　　 bottles. When a fragrant flavor (香味) was added to the　　 vitamin—enriched liquid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it　　 and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched (转) to　　 the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back　　 to where the necessary vitamins were.

    　　

    　　    In an experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a　　 cafeteria (自助食堂) with a wide selection of baby food before them.　　 They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested　　 in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating　　 patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select a well　　 balanced diet (饮食).

    　　

    　　     So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on　　 what's best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of "body wisdom" which　　 humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many　　 of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced (影　　 响) by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and　　 blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how　　 much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on　　 around them.　　

    　　

    (1)In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the　　 rat's drinking water to ________.

    [　　]

    A. encourage rats to drink it　　 　　

    B. find out what kind of flavor rats prefer　　 　　

    C. test whether rats know which drink is with fragrant flavor　　 　　

    D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless　　 　　

    (2)The expression "the habit" in the first paragraph refers to　　 drinking water which __________.　　　　　　　　　　

    [　　]

    A. has no smell　　 B. is tasteless

    C. has vitamins　　 D. is flavored　　 　　

    (3)As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats　　 are similar (相似) because ___________.　　　　　　

    　　

    [　　]

    A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet　　 　　

    B. both prefer flavored food and drink　　 　　

    C. both have the same eating patterns　　 　　

    D. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors　　 　　

    (4)In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies　　 were _________.

    A. given many choices of drinks　　 　　

    B. provided with various kinds of baby food　　 　　

    C. placed and fed in a cafeteria　　 　　

    D. trained to select a balanced diet　　 　　

    (5)According to the passage, adults' (成年人) eating habits differ　　 from those of babies because ____________.　　　　

    　　

    [　　]

    A. adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health　　 　　

    B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods　　 　　

    C. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs　　 　　

    D. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns

    Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
    service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats

    to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
    tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
    booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
