This is why you might hear someone saying “She is a typical(典型的) Australian” or “He is so French”. It seems that people from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.FrenchFrench people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.Chinese Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about “saving face” when dealing with other people.AustraliansAustralians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.Germans Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet.!Personalities and NationalitiesOpinionPeople from a certain country (51) similar characteristicsExamplesFrenchl Romantic and (52) l Love life, food and winel Good singers and (53) (54) l Friendly, hard-working and politel Afraid of “(55) face” before others.Australiansl Like to stay (56) ,enjoy a slower life.l (57) a lot.l Merry, sometimes loud and rude.GermansPay attention to (58) .Serious and careful, not (59) .ConclusionNationalities may(60) personalities, but not for all!六、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，按要求完成相关任务。Ma Hua graduated from Fudan University.

A small bag in front of our chest is filled up with other peoples faults (缺点), while the big one at the back is full of our own shortcomings (短处). So its easy to find other peoples faults, but its hard for us to see our faults behind us. There was a boy, Tommy, who always opened the front bag to check what was in it. He saw other peoples faults very quickly. When Simon was impatient with him, he said to Simon, Its so easy for you to get angry. It is hard to be friends with you. He told his mother about Jacks dishonesty. Jack takes my things without asking. He also forgets to return them. Tommy himself did not like sharing his things with anyone. When Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said, You are such a rude person. He thought Harry was too proud of his rich parents. But Tommy was as proud of himself because he could not see any of his own shortcomings! He could not understand why he did not get on well with others. If only Tommy would switch the bags around, he would discover his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity (虚荣), which were no better than that of Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.26. Tommy thought it was hard to be friends with Simon because Simon was _. A. impatient B. a rude person C. dishonest D. too proud of his rich parents27. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Tommy was a person liked by others. B. Tommy liked sharing his things with others. C. Tommy always discovered his own shortcoming. D. Maybe Tommy was no better than Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.28. In this passage, the writer mainly wanted to tell us _. A. to be more patient B. not to be a person with vanity C. not to take others things without askingD. to pay more attention to our own shortcomingsB Do you know that it is your immune system (免疫系统) working against the virus that makes you uncomfortable when getting a cold, but not the virus itself? So when you have got a strong immune systemand the virus is strong enough tooyou will possibly get terrible cold symptoms (症状) such as having a headache, having a high fever, sneezing or coughing, Vitamin C wont stop a cold. It is said that Vitamin C works by increasing white blood cells.However, many tests have shown that it does not prevent colds. At best, it only reduces the time of symptoms. Staying indoors wont protect you. One of the most likely sources (根源) of cold viruses is your computer mouse or desk. A study of the cold virus in offices found that 46 per cent of computer mice and 45 per cent of telephones had cold viruses on them. Wearing warm clothes wont protect you. Colds are more common in autumn and winter. Thats because the cool, wet and cold weather drives people indoors, where viruses may more easily jump from one person to the next. And the distinct peak (高峰期) in colds is in September and February, which likely because of the return of students to schools and colleges after the summer and winter holidays. Old wives are right about chicken soup. Grandmothers chicken soup is an old cure for colds for a long 6me. Scientists say it is true. Chicken soup does help cure a cold, so many wives usually cook chicken soup for their family members in cold winters.29. According to the passage, when your immune system is working against the virus, you dont have cold symptoms like _. A. headache B. stomachache C. sneeze D. cough30. Which of the following ways can really help cure colds? A. Staying indoors. B. Wearing more clothes. C. Drinking some chicken soup. D. Eating some fruit with Vitamin C.31. Why are colds more common in autumn and winter? A. Because students return to school. B. Because the weather is cool, wet and cold. C. Because people dont drink chicken soup. D. Because people use computers or telephones more often.C At noon the rush hour had passed. There were few guests (顾客) in the snack bar. It was not crowded. When the boss was about to take a break to read a newspaper, in came an old lady and a little boy. “How much money is a bowl of beef soup?” the grandma sat down, counted the money in her purse and ordered a bowl of beef soup. The grandma pushed the bowl to the little boy, who swallowed (吞咽) his saliva (口水), looking at his grandma and saying, Grandma, did you really have lunch? Of course. His grandma chewed (咀嚼) a piece of radish (萝卜泡菜) slowly. Very quickly, the little boy ate up the meal. Seeing this. the boss went over to them and said, Old lady, congratulations, you are lucky to have the free food, for you are our 100th guest.

When the small boy saw a guest walk into the snack bar, he would put a small stone into the circle he drew, but the lunch time had almost passed, the small stones he put into the circle were hardly 50. The boss was quite worried and called up all his old guests. The guests started coming one after another. 81, 82, 83 the small boy counted faster and faster. At last, when the 99th small stone was put into the circle, the little boy hurried to pull his grandmas hand and went into the snack bar. Grandma, this time its on me, the little boy said proudly.
