family members. the children didnt know the medicine was dangerous; they just knew it tasted sweet. children easily open the bottle that we now use in china. some days ago i talked about medicines with an american. he showed me a sort of plastic bottle. the design was quite simple and im sure our chinese factories could produce these bottles. the top of the bottle licks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning. this is difficult for most young children to do, though grown-ups can open these bottles very easily. im certain that the expense of making such tops would be very

opinioncyour action can speak louder than your words. it is important to know another language and how to communicate without words when you are in another country. before saying anything, people communicate with each other by using gestures（手势）. however, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.in the united states, nodding your head up and down means “yes”, while in some parts of greece and turkey, it means “no”. in the southeast of asia, it is a polite way of saying “i heard you”. today in the usa, when someone puts his thumb(大拇指) up, it means “everything is all right.” however, in greece it is bad manners to do so. also putting your clasped（紧握的）hands up above your head means “i am the winner.” it is the sign which players often make. in russia it is the sign of friendship.in the usa, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger（食指）in a circle, and the other three straight means “everything is ok.” in france, it means “you are worth nothing.”it is also important to make eye communication. if you look down when talking to an american, he or she may feel that you are shy, or you are trying to hide something.besides these, you should also know there are some topics that can not be talked about, such as age, weight and marriage. you can talk about the weather, work, sports, food, where one lives and news of the day.11. which of the following is true?a. people all over the world only communicate by words.b. many gestures either have different meanings or no meanings at all.c. gestures are the most common way to communicate.d. people can talk about anything in another country.12. what does the sentence “your action can speak louder than your words” in paragraph 1 mean?a. what you do is better than what you say.b. you try your best to be polite.c. you are better understood by your gestures than through your words.d. what you say is better than what you do.13. youd better not put the thumb up in _.a. greeceb. the usac. englandd. china14. in greece nodding your head means “_.”a. yes b. no c. i heard youd. i am the winner15. the main idea of the passage is that when you are in another country, _.a. it is important to know the language.b. it is important to know what you talk about to a foreigner.c. to know how to communicate without words is as important as to know the language.d. to communicate through gestures is more important than to know the language.d america is a mobile society. friendships between americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. neither side feels hurt by this. both may exchange christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. if the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. this can be quite difficult for us chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. they will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. another difficult point for us chinese to understand americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. this is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. we may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. the americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. they will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. and they expect that we will phone them from there. once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. we will find ourselves treated hospitably. for the americans, it is often considered friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. so accept their hospitality at home!16. the writer of this passage must be _.a. an american b. a chinesec. a professor d. a student17. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. friendships between americans usually extend deeply into their families.b. friendships between americans usually last for all their lives.c. americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.d. americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.18. from the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in america to visit an american friend, we will probably be _.a. warmly welcomed at the airport b. offered a ride to his homec. treated hospitably at his home d. treated to dinner in a restaurant19. the underlined words “generous with our time” in paragraph 3 probably mean _. a. strict with time b. serious with timec. careful with time d. willing to spend time20. a suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. a. friendships between chinese b. friendships between americansc. americans hospitality d. americans and chineses views of friendships第二节：任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 it is not so easy to disagree with your parentshere are a few quick tips on how to show your opinion in the right way 21
