        When a Japanese friend of mine first visited Britain and first saw a British map of the world, he was very upset by what he found．At first the picture seemed familiar: in the middle of the map, there were two or three small but long red islands lying between an ocean and a continent． But something was wrong: landmass and ocean had changed places．It wasn’t Japan he was looking at; it was the British small islands．Japan was out on the edge somewhere.

        Until that moment all the maps he had known had located (标出位置) Japan in the middle of the picture and had colored it red; yet when he got to British, he found that the country in the middle of the map was Britain and that it, too, was painted red.

        What my friend found was a displacement(移换位置）of his country, and, therefore, of himself as well．That is to say, his country was no longer in its familiar place and he no longer knew where he stood: he was “disoriented”.

    “To be disoriented” means to lose ________.

    A．one’s heart

    B．control

    C．one’s interest

    D．one’s sense of position

     

    答案：D
    提示：

    最后一句话是对它的解释That is to say, his country was no longer in its familiar place and he no longer knew where he stood

    　　When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed（称谓）as Mrs. Sohn.

    　　President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.

    　　In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles（使困惑）English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.

    　　Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de (of). This affects（影响）how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.

    　　Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed（颠倒）. Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.

    (1) The story of Bill Clinton is used to ________.

    [　　]

    A．improve US-Korean relations

    B．introduce the topic of the text

    C．describe his visit to Korea

    D．tell us how to address a person

    (2) The word“gears”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

    [　　]

    A．action plans
    B．naming customs
    C．travel maps
    D．thinking patterns

    (3) When a woman marries in Korea, she ________.

    [　　]

    A．continues to use her family name

    B．uses her husband’s given name

    C．shares her husband’s family name

    D．adds her husband’s given name to hers

    (4) To address a married woman properly, you’d better ________.

    [　　]

    A．use her middle name

    B．use her husband’s first name

    C．ask her which name she likes

    D．change the order of her names

    When the TV viewer turns on his set, what sort of programs does he have to choose from? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but that’s not the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U.S. figures are high----34.8% , and the unloving Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information (news , documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. In Japan though , more than 60%of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind of anther----just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U.K., the figure is 56.4% . the Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They don’t go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV than anything else. That’s understandable in a country experiencing social and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them what’s going on---and events are happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage of time the U.S. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. After education, most TV time is given to entertainment. Many of these programs are shown around the world.

           C. Prefer to learn news information on TV rather than in newspapers

           D. Expect TV to tell them the latest news about what is going on in their country

    3.So far as the broadcasting hours devoted to entertainment , which of the following is true?

           A. The Japanese figure is the highest in the world.

           B. The U.S. figure is smaller than the U. K. figure

           C. The U.K. figure is second to the Japanese figure

    Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.
    If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you’ll not move before the host says “Come in, please!”. After you enter the room, you wouldn’t sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a tea-table before you or sent to your hand, you’ll say “Thank you” and receive it with your two hands, not one hand, or they’ll think you are ill-mannered.
    Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay (马来西亚的) house, a guest never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. This will make the host, especially (尤其) the hostess pleased.
