Why I wished to buy only one pair is unimportant. I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old came forward. “What can I do for you, sir?”“I wish to buy a pair of socks.” His eyes glowed. There was a note of passion in his voice. “Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks?” I had not been aware of that, as my entrance had been accidental.“Come with me,” said the boy, happily.I followed him to the back of the shop, and he began to take from the shelves box after box, showing me the socks in them. “Hold on, lad. I am going to buy only one pair!” “I know that,” said he, “but I want you to see how marvelously beautiful these are. Arent they wonderful!”There was an expression of solemn as if he were revealing to me the mysteries of his religion. I became far more interested in him than in the socks. “My friend,” said I, “If you can keep this up, if you keep up this zeal and excitement day after day, in ten years you will own every sock in the United States.” I wish every salesperson had the boys zeal and love for his job so that customers will not have to wait for someone to wait on them.

The numbers were so large, and the intermarriage was so free that the racial composition of certain parts of Portugal was significantly affected.But this was the beginning of a new period of the slave trade that began in 1510 when the first shipload of African slaves was shipped to the New World. The shipping of slaves proved to be successful for there was an urgent need for labor in the Americas, especially on the sugar plantations. The market for slaves was almost limitless and several other countries entered the slave trade to share in the rich profits. Portugal dominated the trade in the sixteenth century, Holland during most of the seventeenth, and Britain in the eighteenth. There was about forty European forts along the west African coasts. All of them were used for defense against the rival trading nations and for storing the slaves while awaiting shipment across the Atlantic.16. It can be concluded from the 1st paragraph that _ at that time.A. African slaves could only marry native PortugueseB. African slaves could marry native PortugueseC. African-Portuguese marriage was forbidden by lawD. only a small number of African slaves could get married with native Portuguese17. The first country that started the slave trade was _.A. Britain B.

America was founded at lastC. Americans needed slavesD. there was an urgent need for slaves in America19. The largest profit from the slave trade was made by _ in? the 17th century.A. Portugal B. Holland C. Britain D. America20. Forts were built along the west African coasts to _.A. catch more African slavesB. to store slaves to ship them to AmericaC. ship slaves to PortugalD. defense against African nations whose people was caught as slavesPassage 3All the customs, beliefs, values, knowledge and skills that guide a peoples behavior along sharing paths are part of their culture. People throughout the world have different cultures. Therefore their standards for behavior often differ. We tend to assume that certain behaviors have pretty much the same meaning around the world and we anticipate that other people will act as we do. But this is clearly not the case. When we are in a different culture, we may find ourselves in situations for which we are unprepared. Not surprisingly, interaction among people of different cultures is often filled with uncertainties and even difficulties. Take the matter of the “language space”, identified by the anthropologist Edward T. Hall. He notes that Arabs tend to get very close to other people, close enough to breathe on them. When Arabs do not breathe on a person, it means that they are ashamed. But Americans insist on staying outside the range of other peoples breath, viewing the odor as distasteful. Americans typically back away as an Arab comes close, and the Arab follows. For example, an Arab business representative may not trust an American who backs off. On the other hand, the American may distrust the Arab for seeming so pushy. 21. Which of the following aspect does not belong to the scope of culture according to the passage?A. customs B. beliefs C. values D. hobbies22. Certain behaviors _ according to the 1st paragraph.A. have the same meaning around the worldB. have different meanings in different parts of the worldC. are shared by people all over the worldD. can not be influenced by cultures23. If we are in a different culture, we may _.A. notice that foreigners behave differently from usB. behave differently from when we are in our native countryC. have no difficulty in understanding peoples behavior thereD. change our behaviors24. According to the passage “language space” means _.A. Arabs tend to get close to other peopleB. Americans tend to stand outside the range of other peoples breathC. the distance between two speakers when they talk with each otherD. the space between two foreigners when they talk25. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A. Arabs and Americans may move far away from the original place where they begin their talkB. Arabs are never ashamedC. Its difficult to make friends with AmericansD. Americans like to back off on any occasionPassage 4The following story was found among the papers of Diedrich Knicherbocker, an old gentleman of New York. During his lifetime, this gentleman was very curious about the Dutch history of that region. Although unable to find much information on this subject in books, he learned a great deal by listening to the old men of the town - and more especially their wives. Whenever, therefore, he found by chance some real Dutch family, living comfortably in some farmhouse with a low roof, under a fine big tree, he considered it as full of information as a history book, and he studied it eagerly.The result of all this study was a history of the region during the time of the Dutch governors, which he published some years ago. There have been various opinions as to the artistic quality of his work, and, to tell the truth, it is not a bit better than it should be. Its chief virtue is that it truthfully reports the facts. It is therefore highly respected by students of history, and has been admitted into all historical collections.The old gentleman died soon after his work was published. Now that he is dead and gone, it cannot do much harm to his memory to say that perhaps he should have spent his time on more important matters. He, however, preferred to follow his interests in his own way; and though he sometimes troubled and angered some of his neighbors and friends, his deeds are now remembered “more in sorrow than in anger”. Most people now think that he never intended to do any harm.26.

The book written by Diedrich Knicherbocker _.A. was published after his deathB. has a high artistic valueC. truly recorded historical facts of the region of New York at that time? D. has no value at all29. Diedrich Knicherbocker collected what he hoped to get mainly by _.A. reading history books on the subjectB. listening to the old men of the town and their wivesC. living together with Dutch familiesD. talking with friends and neighors30. Which of the following statements can NOT be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Diedrichs book was a true and detailed record of the region he lived inB. Diedrich Knicherbocker angered some of his neighbors and friends by writing them truly into the bookC. Diedrich Knicherbocker didnt intend to hurt any neighbors or friendsD.
