    Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

    Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another culture, but it does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.

    It is difficult to conclude about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.

    1.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ________.

    A. show friendliness to strangers

    B. be used to hide true feelings

    C. be used in the wrong places

    D. show personal habits

    2.What should we do before attempting to “read” people?

    A. Learn about their relations with others.

    B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.

    C. Find out about their past experience.

    D. Figure out what they will do next.

    3.What would be the best title for the test?

    A. Cultural Differences

    B. Smiles and Relationships

    C. Facial Expressiveness

    D. Habits and Emotions

    What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?

    But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad，the answer is likely to be no．But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．

    A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance via scent machines．A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intention to purchase increased by 80 percent．

    When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales.That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.

    Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores(实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this．

    Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut(椰子) scent in the swimsuit section．A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent．

    1.According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?

    A．Friendly assistant.

    B．Soft background music.

    C．Unique scents.

    D．Attractive window display.

    2.E-shops are mentioned in the passage to ________.

    A．urge shop assistants to change their attitude

    B．show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores

    C．push stores to use sights and sounds

    D．introduce the rise of e-commerce

    3.The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means ________.

    A．a place where customers love to go

    B．a spot where travelers like to stay

    C．a platform that exhibits goods

    D．a target that a store expects to meet

    4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

    A．compare and evaluate

    B．inform and explain

    C．argue and discuss

    D．examine and assess

    I love camping. It is my favorite way to spent the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went on a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully.

    For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t cost many to camp, and which I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.
