In fact, singing and talking to plants makes them grow better, says Braymar. The reason is quite simple- when we sing or talk to plants, we breathe out carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) which plants need to live and grow. Plants take in the carbon dioxide during the sunlight hours and produce oxygen(氧气) which people need to live. Singing and talking is effective, however, only during the daytime.1.

Each day,about one hundred thousand cars cross the bridge, taking people to and from the city. More than half of themcross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours, as a result, the trip is not pleasant. Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters(经常往返者). These are the people who travelunder the bridge instead of on it. They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they willnever go by car again. The boat they take is the large, quiet, comfortable Golden Gate. Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat.In the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the evening they can have a drink in the bar while they are looking at San Franciscos famous scene and the nearby hills. The trip only takes thirty minutes and is not expensive. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people feel more friendly towards each other. Two commuters who met on the Golden Gate have already got married. Because the boat had been so successful, there are plans to use other, still larger boats. There is also a plan for a high-speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes. Not everyone is happy about that. A lot of people dont want to get the trip faster, said one commuter, They feel that an hour is just enough to rest.1.

This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock(文化冲击), is the way our head and our personality react to(对做出反应) the strange new things we meet with when we move from one culture to another. Culture begins with the honeymoon stage. This is the time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are very excited. Unluckily, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have got used to our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This time of cultural adjustment(调整) can be very difficult and lead to pulling away from the new culture. The third stage is called the adjustment stage. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor! The fourth stage can be called at ease at last. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people dont know about. This is called reverse culture shock.Surprisingly, this happens when you go back to your own culture and find that you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle!1. How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock?A. Lonely and sad.B. Bored and homesick.C. Angry and impatient.D. Happy and excited.2. How could the third stage be described?A. Adjustment.B. Pulling away.C. Shock.D. Anger.3. The underlined phrase at ease in the fifth paragraph may probably mean _.A. goodB. relaxedC. badD. nervous4. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Human beings would pass through four stages when they begin to live in a new culture.B. Entering and living in a new culture is challenging(挑战).C. It is much fun to live in a new culture.D. Life in a new culture is a struggle.六、填空题26.动词填空1. -Have you seen the movie Transformers III recently? -Yes. I _(see) it not long ago.2.
