Its even better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. And you wouldnt believe how quickly my French has improved! Im very comfortable speakingFrench now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesnt bother me like it used to. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really different from the way they are at home. For example, youre not supposed to put your bread on your plate. Youre supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now Im used to it. Youre not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork). Another thing is that it is very rude to say youre full. If you dont want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, its rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands ,but not your elbows, on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but Im gradually getting used to things and dont find them so strange any more. Ill write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope youre having a good school year.Wang Kun（1）How was Wang Kun before she arrived in France?（2）Why did she have no reason to be nervous?（3）How has her French improved?（4）What is one particular challenge she is facing?（5）What does she find surprising?2. （10分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。My Family Is Very PoorA little boy comes to a new city.

These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the enemy(敌人) would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldnt let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.（1） The author had _kind(s) of fears when she was a child.A . oneB . twoC . threeD . none（2） _ would scare the author at night.A . Streetlight and car lightsB . Wild animals and enemiesC . Moving curtains and windD . Strange sights and sounds（3）When she went to some other places, she would _.A . walk away without othersB . take a bus by herselfC . follow others closelyD . make sure not to take a wrong bus（4）Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?A . She was usually popular among people.B . She was always the leader of the others.C . She always got poor grades.D . She was not at all liked by others.（5）The underlined word overcome means _ in Chinese.A . 接受B . 忍受C . 信服D . 克服7. （10分） Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century. In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means Yes or No. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社会), Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say No directly.In the USA, it is easy to say No to something one does not want to do. But in Japan, it is very difficult to say No. To refuse an invitation or a request(请求) with No is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying No directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying No. These can help them avoid hurting other peoples feelings. However, this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.（1）What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?A . Their different ways of doing business.B . Their different lifestyles.C . The fact that the Japanese never say No.D . The fact that the Japanese are slow to take action.（2）Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined expression bewilder foreign businessmen in Paragraph One?A . cause foreign businessmen to change their mindsB . give a feeling of surprise to foreign businessmen.C . attract foreign businessmens attention.D . make foreign businessmen think wrongly.（3）What fact does the passage lead you to believe?A . American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones.B . American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”.C . Americans usually say what they are thinking.D . Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly.（4）From the passage we can infer(推断) that _.A . Japanese businessmen are good at businessB . foreign businessmen should try to know Japanese ways of doing businessC . foreign businessmen must be more politeD . you must learn from Japanese businessmen if you want to succeed8. （10分）阅读理解 Here is a poster on a middle school website.

And they travel through a universe which is so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most important part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbour. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.We believe, however, that some
