enjoyed dancing for a very long time. this story is of a different kind of dance. it is a dance without people or music. yet this dance is one of the oldest in the world. it is the dance of bees.if you have ever watched bees, you know that they are very clever. they also work hard looking for food and bringing it hack to their home.the home of the bees is called a bee hive(巢). here hundreds even thousands of bees live. they work day and night building small walls of wax(蜡). then they make their honey. this is the same honey that we eat.where does the honey come from? bees live on food from flowers. have you seen bees flying around a flower garden? when a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the center of it. there it takes the food back to the hive.at the hive, bees change this flower food into honey. then they fly away for more food.how do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers? one bee acts as a guide. when it discovers good flowers, it flies back to the hive and tells the others. it does this by dancing for them.the bee dances on the side. this tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers. but that is not all. the bee dances for some time. and the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.when the bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are. they fly away and return with more food for the hive.sometimes we hear the music of the bees as they fly around. but few people have ever seen them dance. yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat. 54. the

late-nineteenth-century term, and it originally refers to a dinner where everyone is expected to pay for his own share of the food and drink. if people go “dutch treat”, or simply “go dutch”, it means that they will share the expenses of a social engagement. there are many other “dutch” expressions in english, many of which were invented in britain in the seventeenth century, when the dutch and the english were commercial and military rivals. the british used “dutch” to refer to something bad, cheap and shameful. a “dutch bargain” at that time was an uneven, one-sided deal; “dutch reckoning” was an unitemized account; and “dutch widow” was slang for prostitute. later centuries brought in “dutch courage”, for bravery induced by drink; “dutch concert”, for discordant music; “dutch nightingale”, meaning a frog; and “double dutch”, for incomprehensible language, or unintelligible talk. some of the expressions are still in use today, but some are not. in fact, in american english, some “dutch” expressions have nothing to do with the dutch, but something with the german. it was probably because of the similar spelling and pronunciation that people made a mistake in distinguishing between “dutch” and “deutsch” (the german word for german), when german immigrants came to america in the 1700s. for instance, “the pennsylvania dutch” refers to the german descendants, instead of the dutch descendants, living in pennsylvania. 56. many of the “dutch” expressions were invented with derogatory (贬义) sense, because . a. the dutch were underdeveloped people. b .britain and holland were competitors at that time. c. the dutch had many bad habits. d. the british were superior to the dutch. 【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据when the dutch and the english were commercial and military rivals.

american “dutch” expressions were related to the german instead of the dutch, simply because .a. people hated the german as much as the dutch. b.people made a mistake at the beginning. c.people made a joke about the german.d.the german immigrants proclaimed that they were dutch. 【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据it was probably because of the similar spelling and pronunciation that people made a mistake in distinguishing between “dutch” and “deutsch” (the german word for german),是因为人们在开始时出现了错误，故选b。 gadgets(潮流装备)make study funnow in a world piled high with smart phones, tablets (平板电脑)and e-readers,

hundreds, thousands of times. cool. they are itching to swipe it through the machine themselves. when we walk out of the store with our groceries or pet food, or whatever, its almost as though money has not changed hands, painless, easy. so it shouldnt be shocking to discover that teenagers are becoming card carrying consumers in their own right. the question is, should they? while some argue its best to teach kids how to use a credit card while still living under the family roof, not everyone agrees. dave ramsey, financial expert says getting a credit card for your teenager is actually, “an excellent way to teach him or her to be financially irresponsible. ”now parents are required to co-sign on credit cards for children under 21. “if their name is on the credit card, then the parent may say, hey, my name is on this. dont get me into trouble,” says mary beth pinto, a marketing professor. “when parents were the co-obligors（共同借贷人），the children caused less debt. if the parents are the co-obligors, the tendency is that the parents were explaining how to use the cards.” still, pinto believes parents should start the process much earlier. “yes, there has to be teaching going on and it has to start when theyre younger. youre not going to get rid of credit cards. they are here to stay. you have to have them. you cant fight progress,” pinto said. ramsey, however, disagrees. “throwing teens into a pool of （credit）sharks is a sure way to guarantee a life-time of heartache,” he said. “you can make online purchases and rent a car with a credit card. of course, you must have money in your bank account before you can make a purchase with a credit card. but paying for things with money is what you are supposed to do. ”6. the author mentioned her experience in para 2 mainly to_. a. prove the convenience of using credit cards b. tell what impression credit cards leave on kids c. give advice on using credit cards wisely d. explain the pleasure credit cards bring to customers7. the underlined word in para 2 can be replaced by _. a. eager b. afraid c. embarrassed d. thankful8. whats ramseys attitude towards teens using credit cards? a. he feels it is worth a try b. he is very supportive c. he is strongly against it d. he considers it as a pleasant experience9. pinto will most likely agree that _ a. parents should let teens own their credit cards earlier b. you shouldnt be in control of credit cards c. it is never good for anyone to get a credit cardd. learning to use credit cards is practical6-9、bacd 阅读理解c 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 houses 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 its 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 longterm 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, its 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 dont want to answer.cross-cultural differences arent 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 “universalist” cultures. these societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. “particularist” societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the societys 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.
