Examples include a large flood of moisture (湿气) or a sharp increase in wind speed. These types of 45 are generally caused by a dramatic change in air pressure. In fact, air pressure often affects weather more than any other factors. Hurricanes are somewhat 46 to tornadoes because both produce atmospheric vortices.

The traditional Chinese culture is established on the Confucian philosophy, while the western culture is based on ancient Greek _41_. Cultural differences exist in almost every aspect and therefore _42_ also on relationships and marriage. From the traditional Chinese point of view, marriage is a relationship _43_ many aspects such as family, friends and relatives, while from the Western point of view, marriage is a contract signed between two people that is based on trust and love. Furthermore, Westerners marriages _44_ more the independence and _45_ of the couple.That is why Westerners sometimes cannot understand why we Chinese need to support our relatives if we are asked to do so. Chinese need to maintain their “face” and “relations”. Even in a relationship, we are somehow still _46_ to our family and relatives. Our partner has to understand it and at least does not _47_ it. It is not easy to maintain Chinese-Western relationship. Cultural differences may result in _48_. Young Asian ladies are fond of western men because they believe they are more gentlemanly and in addition their appearances are more attractive. Western men may think Chinese ladies are gentler and more feminine.My suggestion for the cross-culture relationship is always trying to put yourself in others shoes: accepting rather than changing; always respecting your partner but clarifying your own red lines; showing your interest in his/her different culture and carefully commenting on it and so on. There are more and more cross-culture marriages _49_ recently. I would like to take this chance to sincerely wish them the very best in their love journeys. 2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语一模十选九44145 ICJAE 4649 FHBG （徐汇）A. considerationB. originallyC.involvementD. finalized E. sponsoredF.increaseG. balancedH. representI. proceedJ. includedThe Man Booker Prize for Fiction is awarded every year for a novel written by a writer from the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and it aims to _(41)_ the very best in contemporary fiction.
