As Easy as 1,2,3

“Uno,dos,tres…”James counted out loud the number of pages in his history report. His older brother,Matt,sat across the kitchen table from him.

“What are you doing now,James?”asked Matt,slightly bothered by James’s loud voice. “I’m trying to study for my math test. I can’t focus on my study if you keep talking.”Matt complained.

“I need to count the number of pages. We need to have at least five pages about the American Revolution. So far I only have three.”

“Why do you have to count out loud?Why does it have to be in Spanish?”Matt asked.

“Because we’re learning our numbers in Spanish class. My Spanish teacher said that speaking to others loudly instead of reading to ourselves will help us with our pronunciation.”

“I’m going to another room,”Matt said as he picked up his books.

“Okay,but you’ll be sorry when the day comes that I know Spanish and you don’t,” James joked.

A few weeks later,James and Matt visited the local grocery store. While they were there,Matt saw a sign written in Spanish.

“James,”Matt said to his brother.“Do you know what this sign says?”Matt asked,expecting James to stare at the sign without understanding.

To Matt’s surprise,James read the sign out loud.“The sign says,‘Hello. Welcome to our store,” James said. Matt was surprised. He knew that James had been practicing Spanish,but he did not realize that his brother was advancing that quickly.

“I can also read that sign over there,”James said,pointing to a sign warning customers about the wet floor.

“Well,James,”Matt said as they walked out of the store.“I’m impressed by how quickly you are learning to speak Spanish.”

“Spanish is easy and fun to learn,”James replied,smiling with confidence.“You should practice with me. We could both speak Spanish at home.”

Matt thought about James’s remark and said,“That’s a great idea!”

1.Why did James count out loud in Spanish?

A. To show his brother what he had learned.

B. To practice pronouncing words properly.

C. To show his brother how well he spoke.

D. To complete his history report.

2.Matt left the kitchen because he______.

A. needed to go to the store

B. couldn’t find his book

C. was mad at James

D. couldn’t concentrate well

3.Why was Matt surprised?

A. He expected the store to have more signs.

B. He had never seen words written in Spanish.

C. He had never heard his brother say anything in Spanish before.

4.How did James feel when his brother praised him?

In Cairo, formal education is very important. There are twelve years of formal education in Egypt, and public schools are free, though the government does not have enough money. Many families can afford to send their children to private schools. Toward the end of high school, children planning to go to college should take an exam required. The results of that exam determine which college each student will attend and also which fields of study are open to that student. Top students can attend the American University in Cairo, which teaches its course in English. Other universities in the Cairo area include Cairo University, with over 30,000 students, Ain Shams University and Al–Azhar University. Many Children do not complete school or go on to college but learn a trade or apprenticeship in business instead.

Education comes from the family—this is where children learn about social values. The family is very important in Egyptian society. Though modern families are adopting the idea of the “nuclear family” common in the West, the traditional Egyptian family unit consists of parents, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws and all sorts of people. Even though the modern family unit tends to be smaller, families usually live close together and visit each other often.

Unlike in the West, children usually live with their parents until they get married, even through college. It is very rare that children move out and establish their independence before they get married. Usually, this only happens if the child goes abroad to save money before getting married. Many young Egyptian men work for a few years in the rich countries of the Persian Gulf, where wages are much higher than they are in Egypt, and this allows them to have a better start when they return to Egypt and get married.

1.If Egyptian children graduate from high school, _______.

A. some of them will decide not to attend university

B. all of them will take an exam for entering collage

C. some of them want to attend university in America

D. many of them can’t afford their higher education

2.If you are an excellent student, you will _______.

A. be sent to American universities for study

B. be admitted to Cairo University

C. take class taught in English in Cairo

D. get a high–paid job in the future

3.Where do the Egyptian children learn about social values?

A. Egyptian society. B. The family.

C. The West. D. All sorts of people.

4.In Egypt some young people go to the Persian Gulf because they_______.

A. need to gain rich experience there

B. want to establish their independence

C. intend to show respect for their parents

D. wish to have a better life in the future

5.Are you a team player?
    We hear a lot about team building these days.Team-building gurus are hired by some corporations to lecture us on how to work more effectively with each other.And they organize awaydays(息工日)-a time employees spend together away from their usual workplace.
    Here in the UK,employees can take part in activities such as Zombie boot camps where military instructors train you how to fight walking'dead people'.For the brainier office workers amongst us there are crime investigations modelled on popular TV dramas like Sherlock Holmes and CSI.
Stressed-out city workers might have ukulele lessons made available to them.Why is that a good team-building exercise?Ukulele teacher Lorraine Bow says:"The fact that they can play a musical instrument within an hour is quite a fulfilling thing,really.It's not competitive-it's quite easy to do and a bit less intimidating than a guitar…"
    Actually,a horse might be a bit more intimidating than an instrument.The animals are used by a company in Abu Dhabi which teaches leadership through horse training.Basically,you have to go in a yard with a horse and persuade it that you're the boss by using body language.
    Kelly Eide,co-founder of True Leadership,says:"The horses don't care if your hair is purple,if you're a man or a woman,if you're old or young…It transcends all of those cultural boundaries-age,gender,religion,tradition etc.-so that's a perfect fit.And in an organization where you really need groups of people togel,who come from backgrounds which have no common norms,you can teach that most efficiently with a horse."
     And the horse feels instinctively whether or not you are a natural leader.So if after you've done a good presentation your boss offers you a carrot,you'll know where he might have learnt it from.

24.What are awaydays for?B
A.To gather employees to join a meeting on how to work more effectively with each other.
B.To building team spirit among people who work for the same company.
C.To criticize employer who have not satisfied outstanding achievement.
D.To teach people how to make term more united.
25.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A
A.The one in which you learn to'kill'Zombies is more physically demanding.
B.Ukulele lessons are designed for people who are highly intelligent.
C.Stressed-out city workers both have ukulele lessons made available to them.
D.A horse must be a bit more intimidating than an instrument.
26.How long does it take for you to learn how to play the ukulele?A
A.One hour             B.Two-hour      C.15minutes      D.half hour
27.We can infer that the word"gel"(Line 4,Para5)refers toC.
A.invitation             B.recreate        C.cooperate       D.help.
