While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（生活用品）, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One nice stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It is really an honor that a complete stranger would go out of his way for someone he has never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith（信念） in humanity as a whole. 51. Why was the bike so important to the family? A. The mans job was bike racing. B. It was their only family support.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. They used it for work and everyday life.52. How did people get to know the couples problem?A. From a radio studio. B. From a newspaper. C. From the TV news. D. From a nice stranger. 53. What did the family get from their experience?A. Strangers are usually of less help. B. One should take care of his bike.C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.CMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal（信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. Different cultures emphasize（强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time on “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries like the UK or France people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural（多元文化的）environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.54. The writer mentions his experience in Thailand to show that_.A. the English prefer to make long speeches B. too many words are of no use C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature D. even talk and silence can be culturally different55. According to the last paragraph, how can people understand each other better?A. By sharing different ways of life. B. By accepting different habits.C. By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each others languages.56. What would be the best title for the text?A. Multicultural Environment.B. Multicultural Differences.C. How to Understand Each Other.D. How to Build Up a Relationship.DYoure sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns（打哈欠）. Suddenly, youre yawning with him, though youre not tired. This thing troubled scientists for many years. But a recent study found that people who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagions（有感染力的）yawning. It also showed that humans communicated regularly without words. Hogo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has done an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in exchange（交换） all the time about how were feeling. “Emotions are closely connected with states of internal responding（内部反应）, ” he explained. “There are also more clear changes in our body language and facial expressions. When were in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, we may smile to others when they smile at us, and there are fewer clear changes which follow emotions of surprise, anger or sadness. ”Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person, we even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how youre sitting its pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe its our way of telling each other that were partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle but clear signals that show emotions. ”So, what lessons can we learn from this? “Spend time with happy people or your health could be hurt,” said Critchley. “When were sad, our body goes into fight. But when were happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and energetic. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us. ”57. According to Hugo Critchley, _. A. emotions are as clear as facial expressionsB. we yawn more often when we have a coldC. emotions are connected with internal responsesD. Our mind and body dont keep exchanging with feelings 58. The underlined word “synchronise” in paragraph 4 means “_”.A. move in a slow way B. change in a quick way C. relax for a while D. respond at the same time59. From the passage we can learn _.A. sadness is as contagious as happinessB. anger is less contagious than happinessC. surprise is more contagious than smileD. surprise is the most contagious among emotions60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Emotions have much influence on humans. B. Children like copying the actions of adults. C. Scientists are still troubled about contagious yawning.D. People want to communicate more with body language.八、阅读与表达（共10分，每小题2分）阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。Growing Pains An American TV showGrowing Pains was on television from 1985 to 1992. This was a total of seven years, and it told over one hundred and sixty different stories. During its history, the show had seven producers and over forty writers. The program was about a family of six who lived on Long Island near New York. The parents were a working couple. The father was a doctor and the mother was a journalist. They had four children. The oldest child was Mike. He was the main reason for the programs huge success. Mike kept making trouble but was always loveable.From the first few episodes（剧集） of Growing Pains Mike was always getting into trouble. He was caught by the police for driving a car too fast. He told his parents that he would never ride a motorbike but then he hurt himself riding one. But in the last series he helped a young boy who had no home. And he asked his family to help him care for the boy. Though breaking his promise disappointed（使失望） his parents, the way he cared for this boy made them proud to have him as their son. These stories are good examples of the two sides of Mikes nature. He was naughty but also a caring and warm person. He quickly became very popular, and his face was in every teen magazine and teenage girls bought thousands of photos and posters of him to decorate their bedroom walls.Perhaps another main reason why the program was popular in America is that most of its stories were about ordinary family problems. Many of the people watching the program had
