    "It's this time of year when the weather starts warming up and frogs start breeding - but they haven't been breeding," says John Wilkinson, research and monitoring officer at the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust (ARC).
    Amphibians (两栖动物) are just one of the groups of animals that nature observers fear may have problems reproducing this year, as groundwater levels are even lower now than in the infamously dry summer of 1976, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). According to the UK's Centre for Hydrology and Ecology the average rainfall so far this winter has been the lowest since 1972.
    "If ponds dry up totally," says Mr. Wilkinson, "you could have lots of dead tadpoles." Drier and windier conditions could also make it more difficult for juvenile amphibians to survive their journeys between wet habitats.
    But Peter Brotherton, the biodiversity manager for Natural England, says that "drought is part of nature's cycle", and, at present, a lot of animals, plants and insects are still in hibernation. This means that the population picture is unclear. "However, when we get extreme events, we get animals dying," he says. "And what is worrying is that normally at this time of year we expect soil to be near saturation（湿润）after winter."
    Charlie Kitchin, the RSPB's site manager of the Nene Washes in Cambridgeshire, says the 2,000-acre wetland and grassland area is now struggling following two winters with relatively little winter rain and no flooding. One species that could suffer, he says, is the black-tailed godwit（黑尾豫）. "There are only 50 breeding pairs in the country, and we have 40 of them, and everything is bone-dry," Mr Kitchin says.
    But one bad nesting season, he says, is "not the end of the world". "One of the features of flood plains is that they're volatile anyway," he adds. "But if they fail to breed another year, the population is likely to dip again."

    1. 1.

      According to the passage animals may have problems reproducing this year mainly due to ______.

      1. A.
        drought
      2. B.
        hibernation
      3. C.
        windier conditions
      4. D.
        extreme events
    2. 2.

      What really worries Peter Brotherton is that______.

      1. A.
        drought is part of nature’s cycle
      2. B.
        animals are still in hibernation
      3. C.
        soil at this time is far from saturation
      4. D.
        the population of animals is still unclear
    3. 3.

      Which of the following is NOT true of Charlie Kitchin’s words?

      1. A.
        Drought has so far continued for two winters
      2. B.
        Animals could survive one bad nesting season
      3. C.
        The black-tailed godwit is in danger of extinction
      4. D.
        40 black-tailed godwits live in the Nene Washes
    4. 4.

      The underlined word volatile in the last paragraph can be replaced by______.

      1. A.
        losing water
      2. B.
        undergoing changes
      3. C.
        breeding animals
      4. D.
        suffering flood
    5. 5.

      It can be learnt from the text that ______.

      1. A.
        groundwater levels this summer are lower than those of 1976
      2. B.
        the average rainfall this year has been the lowest since 1972
      3. C.
        windier conditions could also cause some amphibians’ death
      4. D.
        flooding plays no useful role in wetlands and grasslands

    In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They declare that if more people rode bicycles to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.
    For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example. They want the city to draw special lanes for bicycles only on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.
    But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea-they say it will slow the traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea-they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.
    The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park-the largest place of open ground in New York-is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown

    1. 1.

      In New York, a group of bike riders______.

        are complaining there are not enough buses
      4. D.
        are trying to settle the problem of air pollution
    2. 2.

      The advantage of the special lanes is that ______.

      1. A.
        they will make cars and buses run slowly
      2. B.
        they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks
      3. C.
        they will make the city more beautiful
      4. D.
        the lanes will prevent accidents
    3. 3.

      The government has not decided whether special lanes should be drawn ______.

      1. A.
        so that everyone is disappointed
      2. B.
        because there are different opinions
      3. C.
        because most people travel by train
      4. D.
        because Bike for a Better City is not strong enough
    4. 4.

      Cars are not permitted to enter Central Park on weekends______.

        so that Bike for a Better City is pleased

        and bicycle lanes are drawn

    The way we do things round here
    Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".
    So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures（文化）．
    Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate（气候），while getting on with business.
    Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality（准时）．If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the
    American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country

    1. 1.

      The author was unhappy as mentioned in paragraph 1 because he thought______.

      1. A.
        the American bank didn’t think much of him
      2. B.
        the American bank might hire another person
      3. C.
        it’s difficult to get used to American culture
      4. D.
        it’s easy to misunderstanding Americans
    2. 2.

      The word “highlights”in paragraph 2 probably means______.

      1. A.
        encourage
      2. B.
        helps to marrow
      3. C.
        increase
      4. D.
        draws attention to
    3. 3.

      According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?

      1. A.
        Ask the native people for help
      2. B.
        Understand and accept them
      3. C.
        Do things in our own way
      4. D.
        Do in-depth research
    4. 4.

      When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are______.

      1. A.
        Italians
      2. B.
        Germans
      3. C.
        Greeks

    Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another．Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open．People here change jobs and move house quite often．As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly．So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal．
    On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long – term relationships are more important．A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business．But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society．
    To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first．On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer．
    Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them．All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place．This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with．
    Some societies have ‘universalistic’ cultures．These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way．
    ‘Particularistic’ societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person．So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person．
    This difference can cause problems．A traveler from a particularistic society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalistic culture．The Indian traveler has two much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family．He expects that the check – in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him．The check – in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldn’t be fair to the other passengers．But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers don’t have his problem．

    1. 1.

      Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians _____．

      1. A.
        like traveling better
      2. B.
        easy to communicate with
      3. C.
        difficult to make real friends
      4. D.
        have a long–term relationship with their neighbors
    2. 2.

      People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those  _________．

      1. A.
        who will tell them everything of their own
      2. B.
        who want to do business with them
      3. C.
        they know quite well
      4. D.
        who are good at talking
    3. 3.

      A person from a less mobile society will feel it _______ when a stranger keeps talking to him or her, and asking him or her questions．

      1. A.
        boring
      2. B.
        friendly
      3. C.
        normal
      4. D.
        rough
    4. 4.

      The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different ideas about rules because of different _______．

      1. A.
        interests
      2. B.
        habits and customs
      3. C.
        cultures
